As strange as this might sound to some of you, not everyone has yet adapted their betting habits to take advantage of in-play markets. Some of the more old school bettors out there are still of the mind that you should place your bet ahead of time and then wait to see how it pans out; after all, that’s exactly what they’ve done for all of their betting lives.
Perhaps you recognise this in yourself and are wondering what, if anything, you can do to change your viewpoint. You might want to adopt this approach to in-play betting, with Unibet’s latest promotion giving you the ideal chance to do so.
What Is Unibet’s Free Bet Club?
Plenty of bookmakers have a free bet club, though they might call it something different. In essence, it’s a club that you need to opt-in to join and, once you have, you’ll be rewarded for your loyalty. In this instance that reward is a £10 free bet to be used in-play, given to those who have placed five bets of £10 or more during the week.
Those five bets of at least £10 need to be placed in-play on football, tennis or cricket and have minimum odds of evens (2.00). You have to place them after 00:01 on Monday and before 23:59 on the Sunday of the same week, with the bets needing to be settled during the same period.
How Does the Free Bet Work?
Provided you have placed your five qualifying bets and seen them settled within the allotted period of time, your account will be credited with a free bet worth £10 by 16:00 of the Monday after the Sunday. They will last for seven days and you won’t get your stake back with any winnings. You also can’t cash out any of your qualifying bets to be eligible for this promotion.
The good thing about this offer is that it’s a rolling weekly deal. That means that you can get a free £10 bet every weekend of the year, as long as you place the qualifying bets during the week before. The only issue you’ll need to be aware of is that those qualifying bets must be placed using real cash, so you won’t be able to use a previously awarded free bet for your stake on any qualifying bets.
Is This a Good Offer?
If you’ve not really got around to placing many in-play bets then this is your chance to get something back for doing so. Give yourself plenty of time to figure out how the live betting system works, and only place the minimum stake of £10+ if that is the level that you ordinarily stake at.
If you already place a few in-play bets during the week then this offer is essentially giving you the chance to earn yourself some free bets. Given that all you need to do is opt-in to the promotion, those of you that know what you’re doing when it comes to live betting may as well take advantage of the offer. Whether you’re an in-play regular or a newcomer, there’s no real reason not to get yourself a free bet worth £10 for doing what you’d have done anyway.
