We’ve taken a look through all the online UK bookmakers this morning and can now reveal which bookmakers will be paying 5 places each way (e/w) on the Grand National at 4:15pm today

The Cheltenham Gold Cup takes place at 3:20pm today (Fri 13th March) and we’ve compiled a list of all the free bet offers being handed out by the bookmakers today:

WILLIAM HILL – £100 (Join today)
First up is William Hill who are offering new customers up to £100 in free bets. Every time you stake £10 Will Hill will give you a free £10 bet, for your first ten bets at Cheltenham.

PADDY POWER – £25 (Join today)
Next we have Paddy Power who are generously giving punters who open a new account today a free matched bet of a maximum £25.

BETFAIR – £25 (Join today)
The next bookie to offer a Cheltenham Gold Cup freebie is Betfair. Widely reknowned as having the best odds on the market, Betfair is a fan-to-fan exchange where you can set your own price, or even become your own bookie and lay horses to lose (rather than win!). Today only Betfair are giving new customers a free £25 no loss bet on the Gold Cup at Cheltenham.

CORAL – £25 (Join today)
Moving on, and our next stop on summarizing the free betting offers available today, is Coral. We’re used to only seeing a £10 new bet from Coral – but during the Cheltenham Festival they have increased this standard offer up to a massive £25. Cheltenham really is the best time to go around all the bookies and clean up on all the free promos being offered!

BETFRED – £50 (Join today)
Betfred today are giving away a free £50 bet for new customers that sign-up today. They also claim to have the best odds guaranteed on Cheltenham, so it’s worth signing up.

BET365 – £200 (Join today)
Perhaps the largest sum of cash on offer today though is from Bet365… these guys offer new customers a whopping £200 incentive to join. Nice and handy for making some money on the Gold Cup today.

TOTESPORT – £25 (Join today)
totesport are the sponsors of the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup, so it makes sense to become a customer today and grab their free bet promo. They offer a whopping £25 free bet for people joining today. What are you waiting for? Go and grab your free cash now

EUROBET – 50% bonus (Join today)
Eurobet normally give a 30% deposit bonus for new customers, but just this week for Cheltenham they have bumped this promo up to 50% deposit bonus (up to a maximum of £30).

SPORTING BET – £100 (Join today)
SportingBet have a £100 free bet incentive to entice new Cheltenham Gold Cup punters looking for a free bet. Again, if you are not yet a customer of this bookie, take advantage of this offer now, as when Cheltenham is over, it will probably revert back to a lower free bet offer.

BET HI LO – £30 (Join today)
Do you spread bet? If so, spread betting firm BetHiLo are handing out a free £30 bet for new customers today.

SPORTING INDEX – £300 (Join today)
Sporting Index are another spread betting firm .. if you want to open an account today you can take advantage of their ridiculous £300 free joining bet offer. I imagine that much like the rest of this list, after the Cheltenham Gold Cup has finished the bonuses offered will decrease, so act now to maximise you earnings potential.

SKY BET – £10 (Join today)
Skybet’s offer is perhaps the least generous today, offering only a free £10 matched bet … but every little helps in the battle against the bookmakers

BLUE SQUARE – £50 (Join today)
Blue Square are promoting a free £25 bet today, with the added promise of a further £25 free after your 10th bet (so £50 in total for you!)

LADBROKES – £200 (Join today)
And so on to our final bookmaker… Ladbrokes as usual quite hard to find a free bet with, but they have gone crazy on Cheltenham Gold Cup and are offering new customers up to a £200 free bet. Yes, you read that right!

I hope this free betting offers summary of all the free bets available today at Cheltenham gives you that extra edge in the Gold Cup. Good luck and remember to read the respective terms and conditions on each bookie’s site as deals can change throughout the day

Here’s a summary of the free betting offers available tonight:

Paddy Power – bet just £10 and get free £20 bet
Extrabet – free £25 bet
Betfair – free £10 matched bet
Ladbrokes – free £10 bet
Betfred – £100 in free bets
Coral – free £10 bet
Bet365 – free £200 bet basket
totesport – free £25 bet
William Hill – free £25 bet
Blue Square – free £25 bet
