Ten things to read in any extra-places or free-bet offer
Read ten conditions before you use an extra-places or free-bet offer: who may claim it, the minimum stake and odds, the eligible markets, the time limit, the maximum win, any turnover requirement, whether the stake is returned, excluded payment methods, clashes with other features, and where the full terms sit. Each one can change what the offer is worth.

Why a checklist helps
An offer headline shows the attractive part. The conditions that limit it are by rule placed next to it or one click away, so reading them takes a minute and costs nothing.
This matters because two offers with the same headline can pay very differently once the limits apply.
The short version: the headline tells you what is on offer, the conditions tell you what you can use.
The ten checks
| No. | Check | What to read | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Who can claim | "New customers only", country, account status | An offer you cannot claim is not an offer for you. |
| 2 | Minimum stake and odds | The smallest qualifying bet and the shortest price | Short prices may not qualify. |
| 3 | Eligible markets | Which races, meetings and bet types count | Extra places can apply to named races only. |
| 4 | Time limit | Days to place the bet and to use the reward | An unused reward can expire. |
| 5 | Maximum win | A cap on winnings from the offer | A cap can change a large return into a small one. |
| 6 | Turnover requirement | A multiplier on the bonus or on winnings | It sets how much you must stake. |
| 7 | Stake returned or not | "Stake not returned" on a free bet | A free bet pays profit only. |
| 8 | Excluded payment methods | Methods that do not qualify for the offer | The wrong deposit method can void it. |
| 9 | Clashes with other features | Cash out, Best Odds Guaranteed, other boosts | Some offers switch these off. |
| 10 | Where the full terms are | A link to the full T&Cs | They should stay available while the offer runs. |
For item 6, the offer turnover calculator works out the stake needed.
The short version: if you cannot find an answer to one of the ten, treat the offer as not understood.
What the rules require
The Gambling Commission's rule on marketing, SR 5.1.9, puts significant conditions where the offer is sold and in the advert.
Where space is short, an advert may say that significant conditions apply, but the full terms must be no further than one click away and stay available while the promotion runs.
The Advertising Standards Authority gave related advice on 28 August 2026. It asks for "T&Cs apply" in the main advert and not at the bottom of a long page. Read both in what an offer advert must show.
For bonus funds, the Commission's limit on turnover is 10 times the bonus, applied since 19 January 2026. See the 10x wagering limit.
How to use the list
- Open the full terms, not the banner.
- Find each of the ten items and write down the answer.
- Mark any item the terms do not answer as Not verified, and ask the operator before you bet.
For extra places in particular, the meaning and cost are explained on what extra places are. For free bets on each-way lines, see free bets and each way.
The short version: write the ten answers down once and the comparison is easy.
What we have not verified
We do not name any operator's current conditions here. Offer terms change within days, so a list of them would be out of date quickly. When we publish a dated operator table, it will say so beside each figure.
