What to consider with Wimbledon betting offers

Picking a Wimbledon betting offer can differ from other sports. There are tennis-specific factors that make a bookmaker worth using across two weeks of Wimbledon, not just the value of the welcome offer, although that’s a good place to start:

Welcome offer: Not every welcome offer from UK bookmakers can be used to wager on Wimbledon, and this year, tennis bettors have to contend with a wave of World Cup free bet offers muddying the waters further. Check to see if some or all of the welcome bonus can be used to wager on tennis, and whether qualifying for the bonus via a tennis bet is possible.

Free bet restrictions: Look at how the free bets that come with any Wimbledon betting offer can be used. Several are linked to accumulators, with minimum legs and odds specified, while only certain tennis markets are eligible to be placed in an acca.

Acca promotions: During the first week of Wimbledon, tennis accumulators are popular, so check to see which bookmakers might enhance the value of any multiple with a winnings boost or a free bet for placing a certain number of accas.

Retirement rule coverage: Tennis retirement rules are in place to make sure any bets are settled correctly, but they can differ from one bookmaker to the next. With several Wimbledon offers potentially scuppered by voided bets, make sure to read up on the retirement rules with your chosen bookmakers.

Expiry date: Most free bets come with a shelf life. Most will be valid for seven days from being credited, but others expire sooner so make sure to check, or risk losing a Wimbledon free bet.

How to claim a Wimbledon betting offer

1. Register with one of the UK-licensed bookmakers on this page.

2. Verify your ID via the bookmaker's process.

3. Deposit via debit card or supported method. Credit cards have been banned since 2020, whilst some e-wallets are not accepted for welcome offers.

4. Opt in to the welcome offer or use a promo code if required.

5. Place a qualifying bet on a Wimbledon match at the minimum odds in the welcome offer terms.

6. Free bet tokens are credited on settlement of the qualifying bet. Check the expiry date and use them before they run out.

Wimbledon free bets - frequently asked questions

Which bookmakers offer Wimbledon free bets?

All six bookmakers in this comparison offer free bets valid on tennis, including Wimbledon matches. Betfred also additionally runs a tennis Grand Slam-specific free bet promotion, again including Wimbledon. Make sure to check the comparison table for the best Wimbledon free bets offers.

Can I watch Wimbledon on a betting site?

No UK bookmaker holds live streaming rights for Wimbledon. The Championships are broadcast exclusively by the BBC in the UK and is free to watch on BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer.

What is a tennis retirement rule at betting sites?

Some bookmakers - most notably Bet365 - will settle bets if a player retires after the first set has been completed, rather than voiding them.

Bettors should be aware that terms will vary by bookmaker - check the retirement rule before placing a bet.

What are the best Wimbledon tennis betting tips?

Grass is a specialist surface that suits serve-and-volley players and big servers - meaning that grass form is different from hard-court or clay form. As such, punters should specifically check head-to-head records and recent form on grass.

It should also be noted that early rounds often produce upsets from big servers ranked outside the top 30. However, whilst upsets happen, chasing the biggest odds can lead to problem gambling.
