Watching the TV in Brisbane on the weekend before the Melbourne Cup I saw the Courier Mail (local paper) giving a handful of lucky readers the chance to win a free bet. A “chance” to win? No thanks Courier Mail, we’re already punting, why should we take another chance? Get on to a sure thing this Melbourne Cup and take advantage of the free bets available from online bookmakers with Races.com.au and bookmamker.com.au!
Why take a chance?
Our recommended online betting partner this Spring Carnival is the Australian-owned online bookmaker bookmaker.com.au, they are giving every single one of our readers a $300 free bet. Don’t bother ‘entering a draw’ to be one of the lucky x number of people to win something this Melbourne Cup, sign up to an online bookmaker and take advantage of their special sign up offers available to everyone! With online bookmakers, everyone’s a winner!
Why are they giving free money to everyone?
There’s a lot of competition in the online betting market and every bookmaker wants you to become a member of their site. So they basically reward you, the punter, with a free bet just for signing up and having a go at their online betting software. If you like what you see, they hope you will stick around and bet with them instead of your local TAB. If you haven’t joined any online bookie before, you will quickly see that it’s a no-brainer – it is so much better than where you’ve been punting before. The online betting software is so easy to use and it’s so convenient (you can even bet from your mobile phone anywhere). You will even get better odds – online bookmakers have great betting products that will pay you the best tote price no matter what State you are in, so you will always get the best price.
Tell me more about this free bet?
If you are not already a member of bookmaker.com.au they will basically give you a free bonus bet equal to your first deposit. Your first deposit is the amount you start your account with. Unlike the local TAB where you pay each time you go to make a bet, with an online bookie you basically create an “online wallet” by depositing funds from your bank account or credit card. Each time you make a bet, you pay for it out of your online wallet.
Last year I told my family about this special offer, my brother took up the offer of a $400 free bet (last years’ Melbourne Cup special) and put it on Americain to win the Cup! Of course he walked almost $4500! (He got Americain at $11).
How do I get the free bet?
All you have to do is click here to visit bookmaker.com.au. You will arrive on a special page (only available to our visitors). From there, you click the “Join” button and complete the sign up process. On the sign up form, you will notice a special bonus code “BONUSBET” has been pre-filled in to the form that gives you the $300 free bet offer.
What if I don’t have $300 to deposit?
It doesn’t matter! You can deposit any amount from $25 to $300 and you will receive a bonus bet to the same value. Of course, this offer is only available to match your first deposit, so you don’t want to be kicking yourself later thinking “I should have deposited more to start with and got a bigger bonus” so we always recommend you start your account with the biggest deposit you can afford. If that is $200 that’s fine, you will still receive a $200 bonus bet that you can place on any horse, in any race or any sporting event over the odds of $1.50.
Remind me what I need to do:
It’s simple! If you are not already a member at bookmaker.com.au, you will receive a free bet equal to the amount of your first deposit. Just head over to bookmaker.com.au, make a deposit from $25 – $300 and they will match it with a free bet to the same value.
