A Matched Free Bet up to Fifteen Hundred Kronor
Bethard’s sports welcome offer matches your first deposit with a free bet worth up to 1,500 kronor, on a minimum deposit of 100 kronor.
The matching has a detail in the player’s favour that is easy to miss: the free bet is rounded up to the nearest multiple of 50 kronor. A 120 kronor deposit returns a 150 kronor free bet. A deposit that is already a multiple of 50 is not rounded, so 150 returns 150.
It is a clean offer by the standards of the market, and the rest of them sit on Sports betting bonuses in your country.
One Times Your Deposit at Odds of 1.50
To release the free bet you need to stake an amount equal to your deposit on qualifying bets, settled at odds of 1.50 or higher, within 60 days. That is a single times the deposit, which is as light a qualifying requirement as this market offers.
Three rules govern what counts. Qualifying bets accumulate across different matches, so you can build up to the figure over several bets. Only the first bet settled on any one match counts, and further bets on that same match do not. And bets that are cancelled, or cashed out before they settle, do not count at all.
A bet settled below odds of 1.50 simply does not count toward the requirement. It does not cost you the bonus, which is a gentler treatment than most books apply, and how the figure is calculated is in our guide to What a wagering requirement means.
The Stake Does Not Come Back
When the requirement is met the free bet appears in your bet slip. Two things about what it returns.
Winnings from the free bet are paid as cash and are wager free, so there is nothing further to clear once it lands. That is the good half.
The other half is standard for free bets and still catches people: the stake is not returned with the winnings. A 1,500 kronor free bet at odds of 3.00 returns 3,000 kronor rather than 4,500, because the 1,500 stake stays behind. Judge the offer on the profit, not on the headline.
The practical consequence is that a free bet is worth more at longer odds than at short ones, since the lost stake is a smaller share of the return. The betting sites open to players in your country is the shelf for comparing what other books give.
Who Can Claim It, and the One Bonus Rule
You must be 25 or over for this bonus, which is higher than the 18 the site registers at. You must be resident in Sweden. New players only, with one bonus per person, account, IP address, household, address, telephone number and bank account.
Sport or casino, never both. You pick one before the first deposit and the other closes. Under Swedish gambling law a licensee may offer a bonus only on the first occasion a player plays, so this really is the only offer you will ever receive here. There is no reload, no free spins later and no loyalty scheme that pays in bonus money.
That makes the choice between the two versions worth a minute’s thought rather than a click. The casino version pays cash after twenty times the deposit; this one pays a free bet after one times it. What is open to you elsewhere is on our bonuses by country page.
