Hi Angie,

You could get inundated with offers from us affiliates advising you on offers. Are you looking for offers to promote or to use personally?

Also, these days there's a few different types of sports offers available. It used to be all just matched free bet stuff but these days you'll increasingly find bug UK facing bookmakers offering enhanced odds to new customers on their first bet as opposed to generic freebet.

This was done to mitigate some of the effects of the Point of Consumption tax introduced in the UK.

Occasionally you'll also find some sports offers that have a casino element such as free spins etc.

Didn't realise this was why they were doing enhanced odds. Interesting. What are the reasons behind it?

A free bet is considered an incentive just as a bonus is and it incures an element of tax for the operator under the new rules.

However, if you just offer crazy odds on an event for new customers only such as..... "Zlatan to score any time in August - max bet £10" you can offer the same if not more in reward to the player and the actual cost to you of the acquisition is largely the same only you don;t incur the same Point of Consumption tax on that new UK-based customer.

A bonus is an incentive but adjusting the odds on any given event is just a bookmakers usual line of business.

Clever workaround! Does this spell the death of free bets (for UK punters)? Or will/do some bookies just take it on the chin?
