Bonuses and Betting Specials

The best sportsbooks offer bonuses and betting specials on sports events. While some sportsbooks put up specials and bonuses routinely, others tend to limit special offers to the biggest sports events when bookmakers compete to attract new users.

Betting specials and bonuses offered by sportsbooks include:

• Money Back Specials: Money back specials are the most common betting special, and pay back losing bets in a market when specific conditions are met
• Extra Place Specials: Extra place specials are offered on high-profile tournaments and horse races. These bets pay out place bets and each way bets on additional places, improving the odds of a bet returning a payout
• Free Bets: Free bets are the least common bonus, and tend to be offered only for the most high-profile sports events. Some sportsbooks also award free matched bets to losing bets on selected events when specific conditions are met.
