Free bet 🎁

Free bets are bets placed without using betting account funds.
Freebet in Fonbet
When a free bet wins, the value of the free bet is deducted from the winnings. Therefore, the amount you receive if a free bet wins is lower than for regular bets of the same size. Free bets can be used only for 
Single
 and 
Multiple
 bets.
You place a EUR 5 free bet on an event with odds of
 
2.00. The
 
bet won and
 
your winnings are
 
EUR 10. The
 
free bet amount is
 
deducted from this EUR 10, so
 
only EUR 5 is
 
deposited to
 
your account.

How do I use a free bet?

  1. Select one or
     
    several events: match results,
    total
    ,
    handicap
    , yellow cards, corner kicks.
  2. In the
    bet slip
     window, click the
     
    button with the
     
    free bet nominal value. The
     
    free bet nominal value will appear in
     
    the
     
    bet amount window.
If the bet wins, the winnings will be credited to your account. You can use them to place a bet or withdraw them using any available method. If the bet loses or is returned, the free bet can't be used again, and your balance will remain unchanged.

Free bet restrictions

Free bets can't be placed in any amount other than the nominal, sold, exchanged or bought. They can only be used to be placed as bets. If you place a free bet, then you bet the entire nominal.
Free bets can have restrictions based on odds and sport types. Free bets are usually given away as part of promotions for specific matches and major events. They can only be bet on events in a limited number of sports or with certain minimum odds.

How to earn a profit from free bets?

A free bet is a bet you place for free, but this doesn't mean you should use it to bet on unlikely outcomes hoping for a big win. Yes, if you lose, you won't be penalised, but your free bet will be used and you won't earn a profit.
It's more effective to use a free bet to be on selections with odds around 2.00. The probability of such bets winning is approximately 50%. Winning will double your bet amount, which will help you grow your account with an amount equal to the free bet nominal value. With a qualitative analysis, you can increase the probability of the bet winning and earn a profit without risking your money.
Profitable free bet example
You earn a free bet with a nominal value of EUR 10. Look around for what you can place it on. Events with low odds aren't the best option because after deducting the value of the free bet, the amount of the winnings won't be very big. High odds also aren't a great option because there's a high probability that the bet will lose and you won't earn anything.
Analyse the upcoming Bundesliga matches. You know that an average of 3 goals are scored in each match of this tournament. That means that bets on a total less than 2.5 will win with a higher probability than in other championships.

Find a match between two relatively equal teams. It doesn't make sense for the favourite to waste their energy in a match against a weaker opponent, especially considering that they will have to play in the Champions League in three days' time. The outsider most likely won't be able to score a lot of points. You bet on a total below 2.5 with odds of 2.10.

The match ended with a score of 2:0. The bet wins and you earn EUR 21. After deducting the value of the free bet, EUR 11 is added to your account without you having to risk anything.

Where to get free bets?

Fonbet offers two ways of getting them: for registration or participating in promotions.

For registration

This free bet is available to new players. To get bonuses, you need to register, verify your identity in any way and top up your balance for EUR 10 or more. 
The total amount of free bets is equal to the first deposit and can't exceed EUR 300.
The nominal of the first free bet for new customers is 20% of first deposit. To get it, meet the wagering requirement by making one or several bets equal to the first deposit with odds of 1.80+. The type of bets doesn't matter: Single bets, Multiple bets and System bets all count, only bets settled with odds of 1.00 aren't taken into account.

For participating in promos

Fonbet holds promotions to give away free bets during partner club matches and major sporting events. The free bet amount depends on the promotion. 
We cover current and new free bet giveaways in our Promotions section.

For customers we want to see again

We offer free bets to customers who haven't placed bets for a long time. This is how we remind them that they have a registered account in Fonbet and offer them a free bet to place. These free bets don't oblige the customer to do anything. If they don't want to place them, they simply expire.
