New and existing customers: Get a £10 free bet every week for five weeks

This massive Cheltenham Festival offer has arrived. It may be earlier than usual, but we are offering punters the opportunity to build a nice pot of free bets. Betfair are big believers in rewarding loyalty. Read on to see what they have for you at this year’s Cheltenham Festival.

New and existing customers have the opportunity to build their own £50 pot, which will be added to your account the day before the Festival begins (March 15).

For five consecutive Saturdays leading up to the Festival, if you spend £20 on the Exchange, on any of Saturday’s UK and Irish racing, you will receive a £10 free bet for the Cheltenham Festival.

If you place a £20 bet for each and every one of those Saturdays, you will be rewarded with a grand total of £50 in free bets.

The following dates to qualify for your free bets are:

• Saturday February 13
• Saturday February 20
• Saturday February 27
• Saturday March 6
• Saturday March 13

Can I back more than one horse to qualify?

The good news is you don’t have to place £20 on one horse to qualify. You can split your £20 into two £10 bets, four £5 bets and so on. As long as you hit the £20 mark, with minimum odds of 1.5, you will qualify for the free bet.

Our experts here at myracing.com will be providing weekly tips on how they will spend their £20, so keep an eye out for that in the build up to the Festival.

Saturday’s NAP of the Day

Running in the 3.15pm at Wolverhampton, Summerghand looks the one to be on. Had an outstanding time of things in 2020, winning the Stewards’ Cup from a mark of 108. He is just a pound higher here in a far less competitive race, beaten a neck over course and distance last time out. That was a better race than this despite the smaller field and having won on his only other visit to Wolverhampton, he is a confident selection to get his head back in front.
