Understanding Bonus Terms & Conditions

Before claiming any betting bonus, it's important to understand the key terms. Here's what to look for:

Wagering Requirements

Most bonuses must be "played through" a certain number of times before you can withdraw. For example, a R100 bonus with 5x wagering means you need to place R500 worth of bets before withdrawing bonus winnings.

Minimum Odds

Qualifying bets usually need to meet minimum odds requirements (e.g., 1.50 or higher) to count towards wagering requirements or to trigger free bets.

Time Limits

Bonuses typically expire after a set period (7-30 days is common). Make sure to use your bonus funds before they expire.

Eligible Markets

Some promotions only apply to specific sports or bet types. Check which markets qualify before placing your bets.

Maximum Stakes

There may be limits on how much you can stake with bonus funds or on maximum winnings from free bets.

Tip: Always read the full T&Cs on the Betfred website before claiming any offer. Terms can change, and specific conditions apply.

Bonus FAQs

Do I need a promo code for the Betfred welcome bonus?

No. Simply use our link to register and the welcome offer will be applied automatically to your new account.

Can I withdraw my bonus immediately?

No. Bonuses typically have wagering requirements that must be met before withdrawal. Check the specific terms for each offer.

Can I claim multiple welcome bonuses?

Welcome bonuses are for new customers only - one per person, household, and IP address. However, existing customers can enjoy ongoing promotions.

What happens if my free bet loses?

If your free bet loses, you don't lose any of your own money - that's the benefit of free bets! If it wins, you typically receive the winnings minus the stake value.

How long does it take to receive my bonus?

Most bonuses are credited instantly or within a few minutes of meeting the qualifying criteria. Check your account balance and bonus section.
