The Top Cheltenham Betting Sites and Offers Reviewed

Here’s a rundown of the Cheltenham offers we think give racing punters the most value. We went through every UK betting site on our list, and these are the ones worth your time for the festival.

10bet – 100% Matched Deposit up to £50

10bet has a strong set of promotions lined up for the 2027 Cheltenham Festival. The main one is a 100% matched deposit up to £50, one of the better Cheltenham sign up offers around, which you choose as your bonus when you register.

10bet also runs opt-in racing promotions through festival week, so check the promotions page once you are signed up.

Betfred – Bet £10, Get £50 in Free Bets

Next up is Betfred, which has one of the biggest welcome offers for the festival: £50 in free bets when you place a first £10 bet. There is more to it than the sign up offer, though.

Betfred’s extra places on selected races give you more chances of a return on the long shots. With Best Odds Guaranteed you can bet early, because if your horse’s odds lengthen you are still paid at the better price. Keep an eye on Betfred’s daily offers during the festival too. It usually has something worthwhile each day, such as money-back specials.

Fitzdares – Daily 25% Odds Boost and Racing Specials

Fitzdares does not run a conventional welcome offer. Its standing promotion is a daily 25% odds boost, which applies to football and tennis rather than racing, but it has some nice specials for Cheltenham races. For instance, if your horse is beaten by a 20/1 shot, you’ll get your stake back as a free bet, and there is money back on daily horse racing losses.
