Tomorrow's Racecards

Paddy Power

At Paddy Power, you can claim £20 in free bets when you sign up and bet £5. Once that’s dried up, you’ll have the pick of a huge range of promotions, including Power Prices on selected horse races, free bets if one leg of your acca lets you down, and daily extra place races. Paddy Power is flexible when it comes to payments, offering minimum withdrawals of just £0.01 and a wide variety of deposit options. 

bet365

bet365 offers new customers up to £30 in free bets when they sign up and bet for the first time. There’s a huge range of horse racing markets to have a flutter on, along with regular opportunities to boost your potential payout and secure the best odds. You can put extra research in using the horse form guide and UK & Irish racing archive, and even build a stable of your favourite horses and receive updates when they run. We also love bet365’s user-friendly mobile app that’s as smooth and easy to navigate as the desktop site.

William Hill

William Hill is well kitted out for horse racing fans, with a naps table, jockey/trainer guides, and competitive odds available for tomorrow’s racecards. And, you’ll have the option to boost the odds on one horse racing bet every single day. There’s a wide range of payment methods available to use here too, including fast withdrawal e-wallets like PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller. The site design at William Hill could be modernised in places, but overall it’s easy to navigate the vast range of available sports and markets. 

BetVictor

BetVictor’s dedicated horse racing welcome offer is a great place to pick up a free bet for tomorrow’s racecards. All you need to do is sign up and bet £10 within the first seven days, at odds of evens 1/1 (2.00) or greater to qualify. You’ll receive three £10 free bets for horse racing: one for any market, one for any lengthen the odds market, and one for daily racing specials. There’s even a £10 slot bonus thrown in on top for you to try out some games. Once that’s dried up, there are cash refunds up for grabs alongside best odds guaranteed and the BV Loyalty Club, which dishes out free bets between £1 and £25. We’d recommend using BetVictor’s mobile app for the best experience, as the design of the desktop site feels a bit dated.

Betfred

Betfred is a great place to bet on tomorrow’s horse racing cards thanks to its live streaming capabilities and ongoing promotions. There are regular extra place and super extra place races, along with best odds guaranteed and free bets if your horse comes second or third. And, new customers can pick up £30 in free bets when they sign up and bet £10. There are lots of great navigational features to improve the user experience too, such as a ‘TV Matches’ category and a Betfinder for filtering upcoming races. The range of sports is slightly lighter than the likes of Paddy Power and bet365, but you won’t miss out when it comes to all the big horse races.

BoyleSports

BoyleSports offers new punters a £25 free bet bundle when they open an account. To qualify, deposit £10 or more using a debit card and place a £10 bet at odds of evens (1/1) or greater within 30 days of signing up. Following an initial £5 free token, you’ll get matched free bets equal to a 50% average of your next three qualifying bets, up to a maximum of £20.

Unibet

Unibet’s money back specials are another great way to bag a free bet. If your horse finishes second in an eligible race, you’ll receive your stake back as a free bet — up to a maximum of £20. On the promotions page you’ll find a list of all the eligible races to qualify for the free bet — if you do end up receiving a freebie, you can go ahead and place it on tomorrow’s horse racing cards.

BetUK

If you’re looking for consistent free bets on tomorrow’s racecards, BetUK is the place to be. To kick off, there’s £30 in free bets up for grabs when you sign up and bet £10. Then, you can bag two £3 free bets every single week with the BetUK Free Bet Club. To qualify, simply stake £15 on any horse racing event between Monday and Sunday. 

Paddy Power

New customers at Paddy Power can use the promo code YSKARZ and bet £5 to get £20 in free bets, ready to use on tomorrow’s racing. Once that initial bonus has dried up, there are plenty of opportunities to claim freebies when placing an accumulator or bet builder — if just one leg of a four-fold lets you down, you’ll receive a free bet up to £50.

Betfair

Place a £5 bet on Betfair’s sportsbook to claim £20 in free bets as a new customer. The minimum odds are favourable on this one, standing as just 1/2 (1.5). There are regular bonuses available on the Betfair Exchange too, such as a refunded free bet up to £20 if your real money wager isn’t a winner.

bet365

bet365 offers a free bet deal for new customers when they sign up and bet for the first time. If you place a bet between £5 and £10, you’ll receive three times that value in free bets. So, if you deposit and bet £10, you’ll receive £30 in free bet tokens once your qualifying bet settles. Returning punters will also see free bet deals land in their inbox from time to time, so be sure to keep an eye out for offers for tomorrow’s racecards.

Debit Cards

Visa and Mastercard debit cards are available to use at all our recommended sites, allowing you to make easy deposits and withdrawals with a familiar payment method. All you’ll need to do to make a payment is key in your card number, expiry, and security code. You can also save your card details to speed up the process next time. Debit cards are always eligible for unlocking bonuses such as free bets, so they’re a reliable option to stick with. The only real downside is that withdrawals are on the slower side, taking up to five working days to process.

e-Wallets

Some punters prefer to not have to share their card details when making payments online, which makes e-wallets such as PayPal and Skrill handy alternatives. With an e-wallet, you can make a payment simply by logging in with your email and password. Withdrawals are super speedy too, as they often land instantly once the bookmaker has completed its internal processing. Digital wallets are, however, usually excluded from making qualifying deposits for bonuses, so you may need to use an alternative to claim a welcome bonus and switch over later.

Paysafecard

Paysafecard is a brand of prepaid voucher that can be bought in shops using cash or card. The vouchers are available in a range of values from £10 to £100, or up to £175 at PayPoint. To transfer the funds to your betting account, simply key in the 16-digit PIN located on the voucher — there’s no need to share card details, passwords, or create any new accounts. That said, if you prefer, there is the option to create a Paysafecard account, load up your vouchers, and pay online using your login details. Creating an account also increases the transaction limit from £40 to £1,000, allowing for greater flexibility when topping up your balance.

Trustly

Trustly uses Open Banking technology to act as an intermediary between a bookmaker and your bank. The service allows you to transfer funds to and from your bank account without having to share your card details. Instead, you’ll be directed to Trustly’s secure portal where you can log in to your bank and confirm the transaction. Trustly doesn’t save your login details, so it’s completely safe to use. It gets the job done quickly too, with instant deposits and withdrawals taking just a couple of days in most cases.

Set Budgets

Setting a budget and sticking to it is the best way to manage your spending. You can do this yourself by setting up a spreadsheet and only betting with money set aside in a designated account, or by setting up limits on your betting account.

Set Account Limits

All bookmakers licensed by the UK Gambling Commission are required to offer tools to help punters limit their spending and activity on the site. These include deposit limits, time-outs, and reality checks. We recommend setting these up as soon as you open an account.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you’re struggling to control your gambling, we’d suggest self-excluding yourself from betting sites. You can set up a self-exclusion for a set period of time from within your betting account, with the options typically ranging from six months to five years. There’s also the option to set up a blanket block on all gambling sites via Gamban or GamStop. 

Don’t Use Gambling as a Way to Make Money

As a more general rule, it’s important to view gambling as a casual passtime rather than a way to make money. However much research you do, there are never any guarantees, so you should never have any expectation that you’re going to win money. 

Responsible Gambling Organisations

There are several organisations that offer free help and support to anyone who may have a problem with gambling.

• GamCare – GamCare provides confidential help and support via the National Gambling Helpline, available to call free on 0808 8020 133. You can also get in touch via live chat, WhatsApp, or Messenger, and use the forum and chatroom to speak to other people with similar experiences. 
• BeGambleAware – BeGambleAware offers an enormous amount of information around responsible gambling, along with a self-assessment quiz and advice regarding budgeting and spending control.
• Gamblers Anonymous – Gamblers Anonymous organises regular meetings across the UK where attendees can discuss their gambling habits with others. There are different types of meetings available depending on what stage you’re at what type of support you’re looking for.
