New to all of this?
If you’re new to betting on Cheltenham, it's possible to join several bookmakers and claim the Cheltenham sign-up bonus available.
Cheltenham Promotions for Existing Customers
The Cheltenham Festival fun is not limited to new customers - there are plenty of great value opportunities for existing customers across the best UK betting sites. These include:
Free bets
Existing customers can bag free bets too. Horse racing free bet offers we’ve seen include getting a free bet if your horse fails to finish, or free bets if you wager a certain amount on races within a given period.
Best odds guaranteed
Make sure you get the best possible price for your selected horse. Most UK bookies offer this on all UK & Irish racing - if the starting price pays out more than the price you took, you’ll get paid out at the higher price.
Money back offers
These are about as close to risk-free bets as you’ll find in the UK betting market. Simply place a bet and, if it loses, you’ll get your stake back. The best money back offers hand you your stake back as cash rather than a free bet (which might come with wagering requirements attached).
Odds boosts
Enhanced odds, price boosts, odds boosts: Whatever you want to call them, these offers sometimes present fantastic value and there will almost certainly be plenty available during the Cheltenham Festival.
Non-Runner No bet
Also called non-runner money back at some online bookies, this is a nice insurance offer that sees you receive your full stake back if your horse does not take part in the race, making sure you don't get stung by a late withdrawal.
These bookmakers offer NRNB for all 28 races across the 2025 festival:
- Betfred (money back as cash)
- BetUK
- Bet365
- BetVictor
- BoyleSports
- Coral
- Ladbrokes
- LiveScore Bet
- NetBet
- Paddy Power
- Sky Bet
- talkSPORT BET
- William Hill
Extra places
A classic horse racing offer which increases the number of horses in a given race that ‘place’. Lots of top online bookies offer extra places on numerous races daily.
