Types of existing customer betting offers

Knowing the difference between the betting offers for existing customers is important in making sure you select the right bookmakers for you. There a number of different offers from free bets to free-to-play games and below is a breakdown of each of them.

Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) 

Best Odds Guaranteed is where a bookmaker will take your bet on a horse or greyhound and if the starting price (SP) is greater than when you placed the bet, it will pay you out at the bigger odds if it wins. Most online bookmakers have this offer, including the majority on our list above.

Free bets for existing customers

Free bets are where a bookmaker will give customers a certain amount of money to bet with. These are usually on new customer offers  [link to best UK betting sites], but are also given to existing customers, with Paddy Power the best for this. The free bets are usually £5 or £10 and they have the same rules as normal free bets, in that you need to use them within a certain time frame, they are excluded from cash out and they do not form part of the winnings.

Enhanced odds

Enhanced odds are the most popular form of betting offer for existing customers with all of the bookmakers on our list providing some form of this. When odds are short for a favourite, bookmakers will enhance them by boosting them to a longer price to get more punters to bet on it with the potential of bigger winnings. Willam Hill is great for enhanced odds, with numerous horse races, football matches and accumulators available.

Free-to-play games

Some bookmakers have options for free-to-play games for existing customers. These are great for punters as you don’t have to deposit or place any money on a bet to play them and they can have some great prizes. An example is 888sport’s Up For 8, a great game that is easy to understand as you just pick eight results.
