World Cup Betting Offers

The World Cup represents a fantastic opportunity for online bookies to secure new customers with competitive sign up bonuses. At the same time, betting companies must ensure there’s a good range of betting offers for existing customers too.

Whether you’re a complete newbie or a seasoned punter, every bettor can benefit from World Cup betting promotions, the main types we'll quickly go over for you now.

• World Cup Free Bets
• Money Back Betting Offers
• World Cup Betting Offers for existing customers

2. BoyleSports → Bet €10 Get €40 in Free Bets
3. TonyBet → Deposit bonus up to €100
4. BetVictor → 100% Matched Free Bet up to €100
5. Ladbrokes → Bet €5 Get €20 in Free Bets

7. Coral → Bet €5 Get €20 Free Bet
8. 888sport → 100% up to €100
9. William Hill → Bet €10 Get €40 in Free Bets
10. Unibet → €40 First Bet Money Back if it loses

The vast majority of Free Bets for the World Cup are rolled out with new customers in mind.

This type of offer usually requires a qualifying bet or deposit to be made by the bettor, who must also meet the terms and conditions before getting a freebie.

Free bet offers come in different shapes and sizes. Some bookies will match or double your deposit in free bets.

But some of the industry’s big players are offering up to 4x and even 5x your initial deposit in free bets, which is just the ticket for a 64-match tournament!

Although they’re not as popular as your straightforward Bet Get offers, money-back betting promos are another type of betting deal geared towards new customers.

If you opt into this type of offer, you get your money back if your bet loses (normally as free bets but sometimes as cash).

Bet on a long shot and get your money back in free bets should it not come in. A no-lose!

New customers aren’t the only ones set to profit from multiple betting offers that come their way before and during the World Cup.

The best football betting sites have free bet offers and betting promotions for existing punters too.

Here are just a few examples:

Acca Insurance

With the group stage serving up as many as four games a day, Acca Insurance offers are an absolute must for every punter.

Depending on the bookie, you can get a free bet or a free Acca bet, if one leg of your accumulator lets you down.

Ladbrokes and BoyleSports are great for this type of betting offer.

Early Payouts

Waiting for the final whistle to get paid out is a thing of the past.

Some bookies will pay out your bet in full if the team you backed to win goes two goals ahead at any stage of the match.

Bet365’s 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout is a great example and could prove to be especially fruitful for the group stage games where many tournament favourites are playing rank outsiders.

Novibet also has a tidy Early Payout promo well worth checking out.

Free-to-play Prediction Games

Existing customers can earn free bets and significant cash prizes without spending a single euro.

Many of Ireland's best football betting sites have excellent free-to-play prediction games.

• 888sport - Up For 8
• BoyleSports - Fantasy Five
• Coral - Football Super Series
• Ladbrokes - 1-2-Free

Enhanced/Boosted Odds

In order to make specific betting markets more appealing - and also stand out from competitors - bookies will offer better prices for selected games and events.

Boosted and enhanced odds are offered by the majority of betting websites.

However, you can't look past Unibet and Betway are hard to beat in terms of consistently giving existing punters a better price for football markets.

Money Back Promos Free Bets

There are also betting promotions where if the game finishes 0-0 and you lose your bet, your stake is refunded.

The best example is Bet365’s Bore Draw Money Back offer which we reckon could prove popular as early as the tournament’s first game between Qatar and Ecuador! Just a hunch!

While all sports betting sites in Ireland have an array of football betting offers to feast on, there are some bookies that offer a tremendous variety of World Cup betting promotions for new customers and existing punters.

It's these we recommend ahead of others.

Having shown you what world cup betting offers you can expect to find - as well as a few recommendations on where to find them - you’re probably wondering how we deem one offer to be better than another.

Well, there’s no secret formula but, ultimately, we favour betting offers with few restrictions, ie. relatively straightforward and realistic for punters to claim.

Much of our decision-making is based on the following:

✅ Low minimum odds

If a qualifying bet comes with high odds, the less chance of you potentially winning any money. Depending on the bookie, minimum odds can range from 1/2 (1.50), up to 1/1 (2.00). Lower is better.

✅ Low minimum deposit

We’re big fans of betting offers that enable bettors to participate without having to fork out too much. In our view, if you need to deposit €20 just to qualify, then the offer isn’t worth pursuing. The lower the required deposit, the better.

✅ Many qualifying deposit methods

Does the betting promo allow deposits to be made with other payment methods and not just a debit card? The best betting deals are designed to cater to the needs of everyone and have a selection of deposit methods available.
