The Cheltenham Festival is drawing to a close but Bwin are still offering new customers a straightforward way to get involved with £20 in Cheltenham free bets up for grabs.
It's one of the more accessible Cheltenham sign up offers around, thanks to its £5 deposit and wagering requirement.
The offer is available to new customers signing up via Bwin's website or app, and the free bets can be used across any sport, including any festival wagers that catch your eye.
What is the Bwin Cheltenham sign up offer?
The Bwin welcome offer is available to new customers from the UK and Republic of Ireland, giving them £20 in free bets, split into 4 x £5 free bet tokens, after placing a qualifying bet of just £5.
The qualifying bet must have odds of 1/2 or greater and if your qualifying bet is a single-line Cheltenham accumulator, each individual selection must also be priced at 1/2 or greater.
One thing that sets Bwin apart from similar Cheltenham sign up offers on other betting sites is when the free bets are credited. Rather than waiting for your qualifying bet to settle, Bwin credits your four £5 free bets as soon as the wager is placed.
That means you could have a bet on a race at Cheltenham and have the free bets ready to use on the rest of the day’s festival action.
Free bets are valid for seven days from the point of crediting and if you don’t use them before Cheltenham finishes, they can be wagered on any sport on the Bwin sportsbook.
Is there a Bwin welcome offer promo code?
No Bwin promo code is needed. Simply create a new account on Bwin's website or betting app, deposit £5 and place your qualifying bet.
