Ultimately, the main aim of any bookmaker worth their salt is to get you onto their site placing bets. If you place a wager with them then there is a good chance that you will look to place other bets whilst you’re logged into your account with them. On top of that, a lot of bettors will often place bets after both winning and losing previous wagers, which is why so many bookies often do refund offers as well a winning bonus promotions. That might well be the logic behind BetVictor’s Loyalty Club, which rewards punters who place five bets worth £5 or more on selections with odds of 1/2 or greater with a box containing a free bet of between £1 and £25.
Rewarding Your Loyalty
At the end of the day, bookmakers want you to be loyal to them. It does them no favours whatsoever to have you disappear off to place bets with one of their rivals. Instead, they want to keep you on their site and then coming back to bet with them regularly in the future. One of the ways that they get such loyalty from punters is by offering promotions such as the one that BetVictor have put forward. You need to opt-in, which you can do by going to the company’s offers page, then place five bets with odds of 1/2 or greater and a stake of at least £5 on each. If you place multiple bets on the same outcome, it will count as one bet.
Once you have placed your five qualifying bets, you will then bet a box. You need to click on the box to open it and inside you will discover the free bet that you have won, with prizes ranging from £1 to £25. The good news is that there are no wagering requirements attached to the free bet, so you will be able to use or withdraw any winnings that you receive from using them as soon as they’re in your account. Similarly, you can withdraw your cash balance any time you like without it having any sort of impact on the outcome of the promotion, so you don’t need to worry about how you’re using the money in your account.
Bear in Mind the Small Print
BetVictor has put some small print in place in order to ensure that they are protected and you know exactly what the promotion entails. The first thing to bear in mind is that you need to open your box by 23.59 on the Sunday of the week that you made use of the promotion. Once you’ve opened the box and received your free bet, you will have seven days to make use of it and it can be placed on any sports market covered. You can either use the free bet as one bet on several smaller bets, it’s entirely up to you. The main thing to remember is that you can’t cash out the bet that you place with a free bet.
Another thing that is important is that you can’t use the free bet on a wager with a stake that is bigger than the free bet’s value. In other words, if you win a free bet worth £15, you can place bets worth less than £15 or exactly £15, but anything with a stake of more than £15 will need to be made in cash. If you win the wager that you place with it then any money that you’re paid in winnings will be exclusive of the free bet stake amount. So a £5 free bet placed on a bet with odds of 10/1 that wins will see you paid £50 in winnings, rather than £55 you’d expect if you’d placed your bet with cash.
Restrictions in Place
The promotion here is offered to customers who are able to play on both the sports and casino products offered by the company, as well as being able to receive promotions from them both. To put it another way, if you have been told in the past that your account is restricted for some reason, you won’t be able to make use of this promotion. You can’t use it if you have duplicate accounts, nor will any bets placed with previously awarded free bets count towards the bets needed to be able to open a box. You also can’t make use of any other promotions that BetVictor have on the go at the time.
That means that bets placed using bet boosts, virtual markets, special markets and enhanced accas won’t be counted towards your qualifying wagers. Starting price bets also won’t count, whilst a qualifying bet that is then either cashed out or partially cashed out will no longer count. The maximum that you’ll be able to win from bonuses is £10,000 a day, which is worth bearing in mind when you place your bet. You can place a wager that will see you win more than £10,000, but there isn’t much point given the fact that you won’t end up being able to take the excess money anyway.
