Cheltenham Offers: Claim £60 in Free Bets at Betfair for Cheltenham Festival

The 2022 Cheltenham Festival is about to take place, with punters ready to do battle with the best betting sites over four exciting days of National Hunt racing.

From a customer point-of-view, it’s always helpful to take advantage of Cheltenham offers before trying to land a winner or two, with Betfair having an excellent new customer welcome offer which you should check out.

Quite simply, if you open a betting account and use a specific Betfair promotion code, then you are able to secure £60 in free bets when you place just £10 on a horse race. This is clearly a generous welcome bonus and it means that you can make lots of different selections with your free betting balance.

How to Claim £60 in Cheltenham Free Bets

The first port of call is to sign up for a Betfair account and it’s imperative that you use the Betfair promo code ZHRD17 as part of the registration process. This Cheltenham bonus code will ensure that you qualify for this offer.

Once you have a registered Betfair account, then you need to place at least £10 on the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle which is the opening race on Day One of the 2022 Cheltenham Festival. The race takes place at 1.30pm on Tuesday 15 March, with customers needing to place a sportsbook bet rather than an exchange one in order to qualify.

Providing that you have placed a £10 bet on the Supreme and entered the Betfair bonus code, this bookmaker will give you a £10 free bet for the six remaining races on Tuesday 15 March. This means that you can enjoy a free tenner on races such as the Arkle Chase, the Champion Hurdle and the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle.

How Can I Place My 6 x £10 Cheltenham Free Bets?

Once you have placed £10 or more on the Supreme, you have to wait for your bet to be settled. Once that has happened, you should find that there are free £10 bets waiting for you when it comes to the next six races. The first free bet race will be the Arkle Chase where Edwardstone is trading as the favourite.

Once the Arkle has been run, you can then move on to the Ultima Handicap Chase and bet £10 on this race, with the process repeating for the Champion Hurdle where Honeysuckle is operating as the odds-on favourite to claim a consecutive success in the big race on Day One of the Cheltenham Festival.

Money Back Also Available on the Arkle Chase

In addition to enjoying this new customer offer at Betfair, there is also an existing customer offer when it comes to the 2022 Arkle Chase. Quite simply, you can go ahead and place a £10 bet on the second race on Day One of the Festival knowing that you will get your money back if the horse you backed doesn’t win.

Betfair’s Arkle Chase refund promotion means that losing bets will be refunded as a free bet up to £10, with the offer available to new and existing customers. Only bets placed on the Sportsbook ‘Win and Each-Way’ market count toward this promotion, with the free bets credited within two hours of the race being settled and it’s great to get this added extra on Day One.

There is also the opportunity to secure Best Odds Guaranteed when it comes to every race at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival, which means you can go ahead and secure an early price knowing that you will be paid out at the Starting Price if the latter is bigger. There are lots of reasons to make Betfair your first port of call when it comes to Cheltenham punting.
