How to get the free bet
This is a really easy Cheltenham sign-up offer to claim. You just need to download the SBK app and open an account.
Once you have done that you will automatically have the £20 risk-free bet credited to your account meaning you can place your first £20 worth of bets risk free.
It is up to you how you break the £20 up, if you place more than one bet, anything that loses will get refunded up to £20. This means you can place more than one bet with the offer and anything you lose will be refunded in cash.
This offer means you can try out the SBK app risk-free and if you don’t like it, you have not lost anything.
What to spend the free bets on
There are a total of 28 races at the Cheltenham Festival so it is up to you where you spend this free bet.
The very first race, the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at 1.20pm on day 1, is a good place to use it and you could place a £20 bet on this race, safe in the knowledge that if your horse doesn’t win, you will get a £20 refund.
You could also split the £20 into smaller bets and still get a refund if any lose.
For example, place four £5 bets on the Cheltenham Festival and if any lose, you get the cost of those bets refunded to you in cash.
