What’s the best deal in Ireland? What are the Irish punters chasing?
“Bet-Get” is fast becoming one of the most popular and sought after introductory offers in the market. Why?
They are easy to understand. They are easy to manage. There is no large cash outlay needed. Conditions are limited. They are straightforward and uncomplicated. And they can be a good return for the money.
Even the sportsbooks are taking them on - again, because they are easy to deal with.
What sort of offers are out there? Possibilities, that some of the top sites like bestbettingsitesireland.ie have at different times actually offered, might include:
- Bet365 - Bet10:Get30, with a return of 3x
- Ladbroke - Bet5:Get20, with a return of 4x
- William Hill - Bet10:Get40, with a return of 4x
- Novibet - Bet10:Get50, with a return of 5x
- BetVictor - Bet5:Get40, with a return of 8x
As always, read the Terms & Conditions to be certain of your eligibility. Not only can the offers change without notice, but they may have details you need to be aware of in order to qualify. For example, there can be minimum odds, expiry time limits, and certain payment methods may not count.
The offers can also change without notice, so it is important to make sure you have the current information when making decisions, as well as when signing up.
Bet-Get Offer in More Detail
Bet-Get is the market abbreviation for the deal where the punter “bets” a specified amount of money, and then they “get” a certain amount of bonus credited to their account by the sportsbook.
BoyleSports might for example say Bet10:Get50.This means that if the new member makes an initial “bet” of €10, they would immediately “get” €50 credited to their account by BoyleSport!
What a bonus!!!!
An immediate 5x gain on your money! €50 of free credit - no risk bets, so that every win is 100% in your pocket.
Of course there are conditions. They are there to protect the site. But all you have to do is check them over and make sure you have fulfilled the requirements. These may include that the free bet must be used in one go, or across several. There may be minimum odds requirements on 1, some or all of them. They may be for specific sports, markets or events, or can be in part for their casino. There can also be an expiry date.
If you check Terms & Conditions, you can be sure to have covered all of the eligibility requirements so there is no disappointment, especially when the details can change at any time, and do.
These rules and changes are not designed to outfox the betting members, but for self protection and self promotion. But being aware of what they are at the point of betting ensures that you won ’t be disappointed.
Here are some details of the bet-get bonuses which have been offered in the past. Even if they are different, sites generally change to something similar to what they ’ve had before.
Matched Deposit Bonus Offer in more Detail
This is an even more typical offer, if not quite as straight forward. It allows the punter to deposit whatever amount suits them above their set minimum, and is of special appeal to the bigger bettor who has more funds to use over time. For bigger bettors, there are bigger credits to be won.
So - what is a matched deposit?
Typically, a 100% matched deposit means that the bookie will double your deposit. Whatever your initial deposit is, they will credit the full 100% of its value to your account.
There is usually a maximum, so making an initial deposit of €1,000 will not give punters €1,000 of credit. The maximum will usually be €100. Having said this, €100 is significantly more than most of the bet-get offers.
The other consideration with matched deposits, and the one which makes it a more challenging and complicated option, is that there is usually a wagering requirement. This will be set out in Terms & Conditions, but typically it will mean that the punter needs to place a certain amount in deposits before they are eligible to withdraw their winnings.
This will normally be expressed as a multiple of the initial deposit, such as 5x or 10x. The member needs to make deposits up to that value, and use it, in order to be able to make any withdrawals.
There is also usually an expiry date on this.
It is easy to decide on a €100 initial deposit in order to get a €100 credit. It is not so easy when you have a fortnightly budget of €100, for example, then to work out how much deposit would fit within that.
The easiest way would be to make some trial calculations. For example:
A €10 initial deposit with a 5x wagering requirement would mean a total of €50 spent over a fortnight. But your budget is bigger - say €100 for the fortnight.
So try a €50 initial deposit. Multiply that by 5, and you have €250. That is too much. So try another number in between.
€20 is an easy number to work with. 5 times €20 is €100.
Bingo! You have hit your target amount.
This way may be slower, but it ’s just a bit of trial and error. Alternatively, take your betting budget for within the expiry date - in this case, we have used a fortnightly budget of €100.
Divide it by the wagering amount - in this case, 5.
€100 divided by 5 gives €20! Hey presto - that is the initial deposit which you would want to make to gain the maximum to fit within your betting budget.
The above list of sportsbooks have all had a matched deposit of 100% of up to €100 - a very common standard offer, and one which they are likely to still have running. Of course, check the Terms & Conditions to confirm this, just in case they have changed their details.
They also have a minimum bet of €10. This is not a problem in the above example where we have calculated that an initial deposit of €20 will work. You already have your first betting amount available - In fact, your first 2 bets.
