Betfair offers £20 free bets for Cheltenham Festival

The Cheltenham Festival 2025 begins this week, featuring 28 races over four days. Betfair is offering new customers £20 in free bets when they place a £5 bet on sports, including horse racing. Key horses to watch include Kopek Des Bordes, favored in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, and Majborough, now the top contender for the Arkle after another horse was ruled out. Constitution Hill is expected to dominate the Champion Hurdle. Betfair's promotion requires new users to place a minimum £5 bet to qualify for the free bets. The offer is valid for 30 days and only applies to deposits made via debit cards or Apple Pay.
