Most US sportsbooks refer to this as a \u2018\u2019first bet offer\u2019\u2019. When you lose a first bet offer, you will get a refund which means a second shot for success.\r\n\r\nIn addition to <strong>free bets on sign up<\/strong> and deposit there are more ways to gather free bets. Some sports betting sites in the US will for example rewards you with a free bet for bringing in a friend.

Each type of free bets comes with its own set of rules. These rules have impact on how to claim them, how to use them, and how to wager them.\r\n\r\nBelow I will highlight all types of free bets you can claim at most licensed sports betting sites.\r\n<h3>No deposit free bet<\/h3>\r\nAs the name suggest, a no deposit free bet is a free bet which you can collect without making a deposit. So, all you must to do collect a no deposit free bet is sign up a free account.\r\n\r\nPreviously Unibet Sportsbook used to offer a no deposit free bet. They actually offered two of them. After signing up your account you could place two $10 bets for free. Sadly, they have withdrawn this offer and now you can \u2018\u2019only\u2019\u2019 take advantage of a $500 first bet offer.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-314987 size-full\" title=\"Unibet Sportsbook used to offer two $10 free bets on sign up\" src=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unibet-sports-bonus-new-jersey.jpg\" alt=\"Unibet Sportsbook used to offer two $10 free bets on sign up\" width=\"932\" height=\"370\" \/>\r\n\r\nAlthough the number of sportsbooks offering no deposit free bets is very limited it is really worth your time looking for these offers. In my opinion it is always interesting to be able to place a bet for free. It simply offers you the chance to win real money without staking any of your own.\r\n\r\n[joomdev-wpc-pros-cons disable_title=\"yes\" wpc_style=\"wppc-view1\" title_tag=\"H3\" title=\"Title Here\" pros_title=\"Pros\" cons_title=\"Cons\" button_text=\"Get it now\" disable_button=\"yes\" button_link=\"\" button_link_target=\"_SELF\" button_rel_attr=\"dofollow\" verdict_text=\"\"][joomdev-wpc-pros]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-pros-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Get a free bet only for signing up a free account.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Place a bet without staking any of your own real money.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Free possibility to win real money.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-pros][joomdev-wpc-cons]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-cons-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">These offers are very hard to find.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">Winnings are normally subject to a play-through requirement.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-cons][\/joomdev-wpc-pros-cons]\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3>First bet offer<\/h3>\r\nOne type of free bet promotion which you can find at a lot of licensed US sportsbook is a first bet offer. A first bet offer is really common, and I would say around 75% of all US sport betting sites offer one.\r\n\r\nUsing a first bet offer promotion, you can place a first bet, and get refunded when you loose.\r\n\r\nSome sportsbooks offer a $250 bonus, other go up to $500, and some offer even first bet offer worht over $1,500.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-825590\" src=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/betmgm-sportsbook-first-bet-offer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"932\" height=\"440\" \/>\r\n\r\n[joomdev-wpc-pros-cons disable_title=\"yes\" wpc_style=\"wppc-view1\" title_tag=\"H3\" title=\"Title Here\" pros_title=\"Pros\" cons_title=\"Cons\" button_text=\"Get it now\" disable_button=\"yes\" button_link=\"\" button_link_target=\"_SELF\" button_rel_attr=\"dofollow\" verdict_text=\"\"][joomdev-wpc-pros]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-pros-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Place a first bet and get a bonus when you lose.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Get a refund when your first bet misses.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Place a second bet for free to try your luck one more time.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-pros][joomdev-wpc-cons]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-cons-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">Winnings are normally subject to a play-through requirement.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">Sometimes you can only withdrawal your winnings and not the initial value of the refund.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-cons][\/joomdev-wpc-pros-cons]\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3>Match bonus<\/h3>\r\nA match bonus is very common bonus in the online gambling industry. You can find match bonuses at both online casinos as well as sportsbooks.\r\n\r\nWith a match bonus you will enjoy a 100% bonus on top of your deposit. The casino or sportsbook basically matches your deposit with a matching amount in bonus funds.\r\n\r\nMost match bonuses can be triggered with a $10 minimum deposit depending on the sportsbook of choice. Most match bonuses are capped at a certain value. You can for example get a $250, $500, or even $1000 in bonus funds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Example:<\/strong> When you use a match bonus and make a $350 deposit, the sportsbook will match it with a $350 bonus. In this case you can start playing with a $700 balance.\r\n\r\nAll match bonuses will come with a rollover requirement. In most cases you will need to rollover the initial deposit plus the bonus amount.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-395917 size-full\" title=\"BetRivers Match Bonus\" src=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BetRivers-Casino-Pennsylvania-Bonus-Code.png\" alt=\"BetRivers Match Bonus\" width=\"932\" height=\"256\" \/>\r\n\r\nA popular match bonus which is available in various states is the welcome promotion at <strong>BetRivers Sportsbook<\/strong>. When you now sign up your account at BetRivers you will be able to get a match bonus up $250 by using the BetRivers bonus code <strong>250MATCH<\/strong>. The great thing of this bonus is that the play-through requirement for this bonus is only 1x. This means you can convert the entire bonus to cash by placing just 1 bet.\r\n\r\n[joomdev-wpc-pros-cons disable_title=\"yes\" wpc_style=\"wppc-view1\" title_tag=\"H3\" title=\"Title Here\" pros_title=\"Pros\" cons_title=\"Cons\" button_text=\"Get it now\" disable_button=\"yes\" button_link=\"\" button_link_target=\"_SELF\" button_rel_attr=\"dofollow\" verdict_text=\"\"][joomdev-wpc-pros]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-pros-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Your deposit will be match with a 100% bonus.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">High bonuses available at most sportsbooks.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">This bonus is easy to use and understand for new bettors.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-pros][joomdev-wpc-cons]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-cons-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">You need to wager the deposit and bonus in most cases.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-cons][\/joomdev-wpc-pros-cons]\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3>Deposit bonus<\/h3>\r\nA deposit bonus works almost the same as the match bonus, the only difference is that the deposit bonus can be consist of different percentages. A match bonus always matched your deposit, which means you will receive a 100% bonus. A deposit bonus can be a lower or a higher amount.\r\n\r\nA good example of a deposit bonus is the welcome offer at DraftKings sportsbook. At DraftKings you will get a 20% deposit bonus up $5000. When you for example deposit $2000, you will get a $400 bonus. This means you can play with a total of $2400.\r\n\r\nWhen you want to receive the maximum bonus at DraftKings you will need to deposit $5000. In this case you will get the maximum bonus, which is $1000. Using this bonus, you can play with a total amount of up to $6000. Please do note that you won\u2019t get the full bonus right away at DraftKings sportsbook. For every $25 your wager in real money bets, you will receive $1 in bonus credits.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/go\/draftkings@sports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-390582 size-full\" title=\"DraftKings Sportsbook Deposit Bonus\" src=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/draftkings-sportsbook-promo-code-new-jersey.png\" alt=\"DraftKings Sportsbook Deposit Bonus\" width=\"900\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nYou will also be able to find deposit bonuses with a higher percentage. Some sportsbooks offer a 25% bonus, some a 50%, and some a 75% bonus. There are even sports betting sites that offer bonus over 100%. Some bookies will go as high as 200% or even 300% to attract new players. Using these offers you can easily build up a big balance to play with.\r\n\r\n[joomdev-wpc-pros-cons disable_title=\"yes\" wpc_style=\"wppc-view1\" title_tag=\"H3\" title=\"Title Here\" pros_title=\"Pros\" cons_title=\"Cons\" button_text=\"Get it now\" disable_button=\"yes\" button_link=\"\" button_link_target=\"_SELF\" button_rel_attr=\"dofollow\" verdict_text=\"\"][joomdev-wpc-pros]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-pros-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">You can get huge bonuses up $2000.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Easy to understand how this type of bonus works.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Bonuses can go up to 200% or even 300%.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-pros][joomdev-wpc-cons]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-cons-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">Bonuses can be low, starting from 20%.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">Sometimes bonuses get paid in increments.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">You will need to wager your bonus credits.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-cons][\/joomdev-wpc-pros-cons]\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3>Loyalty Free Bets<\/h3>\r\nAll US sportsbooks love loyal players. Without a big base of loyal players, a sports betting site can\u2019t operate. To keep players happy and active most sports book offer a loyalty program \/ rewards program. By opting in for this program you can enjoy many extras including additional deposit offers, no deposit free bets, and free bets. Popular reward programs include.\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li><strong>M Life Rewards:<\/strong> Using this program you can enjoy loyalty benefits at over 20 MGM Resorts properties, and through your <a title=\"BetMGM sportsbook\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/us\/sportsbooks\/betmgm-sportsbook-review\/\">BetMGM sportsbook<\/a> account as well. Your M Life Rewards can be connected to your online casinos, online sports betting, or mobile BetMGM app account.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>iRush Rewards:<\/strong> You will find this loyalty program at <a title=\"BetRivers\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/us\/us-online-casinos\/betrivers-casino-review\/\">BetRivers<\/a> and <a title=\"SugarHouse Sportsbook Promo Code New Jersey\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/us\/sportsbooks\/sugarhouse-sportsbook-promo-code-new-jersey\/\">Sugarhouse<\/a> online properties. You can unlock up to 11 tiers to get more benefits. This includes VIP gifts, exclusive events, dinners, and a dedicated VIP concierge.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Pointsbet Rewards:<\/strong> At <a title=\"Pointsbet sportsbook\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/us\/sportsbooks\/pointsbet-sportsbook-review\/\">Pointsbet sportsbook<\/a> you will find a simple points-based loyalty scheme. You can earn points for placing fixed-odds wagers, parlays, and PointsBetting wagers. Each point you collect is worth $0,01. You can redeem your points for free site credit. A very similiar rewards program can be found at <a title=\"DraftKings Sportsbook Review\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/us\/sportsbooks\/draftkings-sportsbook-review\/\">DraftKings Sportsbook.<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Caesars Rewards:<\/strong> The <a title=\"Caesars Sportsbook Review\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbettingcasinos.com\/us\/sportsbooks\/caesars-sportsbook-review\/\">Caesars<\/a> Rewards program is a more complicated loyalty program. This program combines online betting and offline betting to enjoy rewards for shopping, dining, and playing at Caesars properties. You can sign up for this program through the website, mobile app, or at a land-based casino. After opting in you can collect Tier Credits and Reward Credits which you can spend in various ways.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nIf you play often then it can be interesting to do some research about what loyalty program would be the most suitable for you. We at least recommend joining one program which you try to get the most out of. You can better have one strong loyalty account, then a few starting ones. By collecting a lot of points at one program you can enjoy many extras including invitation-only VIP Events, sports events, free rooms, free meals, limo service, top-tier customer services, and more.\r\n\r\n[joomdev-wpc-pros-cons disable_title=\"yes\" wpc_style=\"wppc-view1\" title_tag=\"H3\" title=\"Title Here\" pros_title=\"Pros\" cons_title=\"Cons\" button_text=\"Get it now\" disable_button=\"yes\" button_link=\"\" button_link_target=\"_SELF\" button_rel_attr=\"dofollow\" verdict_text=\"\"][joomdev-wpc-pros]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-pros-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Collect points and redeem them for site credits.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">Unlock new tiers for extra loyalty benefits.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_pro_single\">VIP players enjoy huge extras including VIP events, sports events, free rooms, dinners, and more.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-pros][joomdev-wpc-cons]\r\n<ul class=\"wp-pros-cons-list wp-cons-list\">\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">You will need to sign up an loyalty account.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">Required a lot of playing (spending).<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"joomdev_wpc_con_single\">You are sort of limited to playing at the brand that accepts your loyalty card to get the most out of your betting.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/joomdev-wpc-cons][\/joomdev-wpc-pros-cons]\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3>Refer a friend free bet<\/h3>\r\nA very common type of free bet which you will find at various licensed US sportsbooks is the refer a friend free bet.

Each type of free bets comes with its own set of rules. These rules have impact on how to claim them, how to use them, and how to wager them. Below I will highlight all types of free bets you can claim at most licensed sports betting sites. No deposit free bet As the name suggest, a no deposit free bet is a free bet which you can collect without making a deposit. So, all you must to do collect a no deposit free bet is sign up a free account. Previously Unibet Sportsbook used to offer a no deposit free bet. They actually offered two of them. After signing up your account you could place two $10 bets for free. Sadly, they have withdrawn this offer and now you can \u2018\u2019only\u2019\u2019 take advantage of a $500 first bet offer. Although the number of sportsbooks offering no deposit free bets is very limited it is really worth your time looking for these offers. In my opinion it is always interesting to be able to place a bet for free. It simply offers you the chance to win real money without staking any of your own.                                                                          Pros               Get a free bet only for signing up a free account. Place a bet without staking any of your own real money. Free possibility to win real money.                                                                        Cons               These offers are very hard to find. Winnings are normally subject to a play-through requirement.                     First bet offer One type of free bet promotion which you can find at a lot of licensed US sportsbook is a first bet offer. A first bet offer is really common, and I would say around 75% of all US sport betting sites offer one. Using a first bet offer promotion, you can place a first bet, and get refunded when you loose. Some sportsbooks offer a $250 bonus, other go up to $500, and some offer even first bet offer worht over $1,500.                                                                          Pros               Place a first bet and get a bonus when you lose. Get a refund when your first bet misses. Place a second bet for free to try your luck one more time.                                                                        Cons               Winnings are normally subject to a play-through requirement. Sometimes you can only withdrawal your winnings and not the initial value of the refund.                     Match bonus A match bonus is very common bonus in the online gambling industry. You can find match bonuses at both online casinos as well as sportsbooks. With a match bonus you will enjoy a 100% bonus on top of your deposit. The casino or sportsbook basically matches your deposit with a matching amount in bonus funds.

In this case you can start playing with a $700 balance. All match bonuses will come with a rollover requirement. In most cases you will need to rollover the initial deposit plus the bonus amount.

So, all you must to do collect a no deposit free bet is sign up a free account. Previously Unibet Sportsbook used to offer a no deposit free bet. They actually offered two of them. After signing up your account you could place two $10 bets for free. Sadly, they have withdrawn this offer and now you can \u2018\u2019only\u2019\u2019 take advantage of a $500 first bet offer. Although the number of sportsbooks offering no deposit free bets is very limited it is really worth your time looking for these offers. In my opinion it is always interesting to be able to place a bet for free. It simply offers you the chance to win real money without staking any of your own.                                                                          Pros               Get a free bet only for signing up a free account. Place a bet without staking any of your own real money. Free possibility to win real money.                                                                        Cons               These offers are very hard to find. Winnings are normally subject to a play-through requirement.                     First bet offer One type of free bet promotion which you can find at a lot of licensed US sportsbook is a first bet offer. A first bet offer is really common, and I would say around 75% of all US sport betting sites offer one. Using a first bet offer promotion, you can place a first bet, and get refunded when you loose. Some sportsbooks offer a $250 bonus, other go up to $500, and some offer even first bet offer worht over $1,500.                                                                          Pros               Place a first bet and get a bonus when you lose. Get a refund when your first bet misses. Place a second bet for free to try your luck one more time.                                                                        Cons               Winnings are normally subject to a play-through requirement. Sometimes you can only withdrawal your winnings and not the initial value of the refund.                     Match bonus A match bonus is very common bonus in the online gambling industry. You can find match bonuses at both online casinos as well as sportsbooks. With a match bonus you will enjoy a 100% bonus on top of your deposit. The casino or sportsbook basically matches your deposit with a matching amount in bonus funds. Most match bonuses can be triggered with a $10 minimum deposit depending on the sportsbook of choice. Most match bonuses are capped at a certain value. You can for example get a $250, $500, or even $1000 in bonus funds. Example: When you use a match bonus and make a $350 deposit, the sportsbook will match it with a $350 bonus. In this case you can start playing with a $700 balance. All match bonuses will come with a rollover requirement. In most cases you will need to rollover the initial deposit plus the bonus amount. A popular match bonus which is available in various states is the welcome promotion at BetRivers Sportsbook. When you now sign up your account at BetRivers you will be able to get a match bonus up $250 by using the BetRivers bonus code 250MATCH. The great thing of this bonus is that the play-through requirement for this bonus is only 1x. This means you can convert the entire bonus to cash by placing just 1 bet.                                                                          Pros               Your deposit will be match with a 100% bonus. High bonuses available at most sportsbooks. This bonus is easy to use and understand for new bettors.                                                                        Cons               You need to wager the deposit and bonus in most cases.                     Deposit bonus A deposit bonus works almost the same as the match bonus, the only difference is that the deposit bonus can be consist of different percentages. A match bonus always matched your deposit, which means you will receive a 100% bonus. A deposit bonus can be a lower or a higher amount. A good example of a deposit bonus is the welcome offer at DraftKings sportsbook. At DraftKings you will get a 20% deposit bonus up $5000. When you for example deposit $2000, you will get a $400 bonus. This means you can play with a total of $2400. When you want to receive the maximum bonus at DraftKings you will need to deposit $5000. In this case you will get the maximum bonus, which is $1000. Using this bonus, you can play with a total amount of up to $6000. Please do note that you won\u2019t get the full bonus right away at DraftKings sportsbook. For every $25 your wager in real money bets, you will receive $1 in bonus credits. You will also be able to find deposit bonuses with a higher percentage. Some sportsbooks offer a 25% bonus, some a 50%, and some a 75% bonus. There are even sports betting sites that offer bonus over 100%. Some bookies will go as high as 200% or even 300% to attract new players. Using these offers you can easily build up a big balance to play with.                                                                          Pros               You can get huge bonuses up $2000. Easy to understand how this type of bonus works. Bonuses can go up to 200% or even 300%.                                                                        Cons               Bonuses can be low, starting from 20%. Sometimes bonuses get paid in increments. You will need to wager your bonus credits.                     Loyalty Free Bets All US sportsbooks love loyal players. Without a big base of loyal players, a sports betting site can\u2019t operate. To keep players happy and active most sports book offer a loyalty program \/ rewards program. By opting in for this program you can enjoy many extras including additional deposit offers, no deposit free bets, and free bets. Popular reward programs include.
