As the Cheltenham Festival approaches its climax, many punters look to take advantage of bookmaker promotions to maximise their betting bankroll.
One of the standout deals available this week is the Betfair Cheltenham offer, which gives new UK customers the chance to claim £30 in free bets when placing a £10 qualifying wager.
The promotion is straightforward to unlock. After registering through an eligible link, new customers simply need to deposit and place a £10 bet at minimum odds of evens (2.0). Once the bet has settled, Betfair rewards players with £30 in free bets, providing extra opportunities to get involved in the Festival action.
Unlike many offers that credit a single free bet, the Betfair Cheltenham offer splits the reward into five £6 tokens. This format is particularly useful during Cheltenham, where competitive handicaps and headline Grade 1 races offer a wide range of betting opportunities across the card.
In this guide, we’ll break down how the Betfair Cheltenham offer works, how to claim it, and the best ways to use your free bets during the Festival.
