"Bet £10, get £30" is one of the most common welcome offer structures at UK bookmakers: place a qualifying bet of £10 or more, and the bookmaker credits a fixed amount in free bets once it settles — regardless of whether your qualifying bet wins or loses. This page explains exactly how that structure works and compares the UK operators currently running it.

The core mechanic is simple: your first real-money bet at the minimum stake — usually £10, though the exact figure and any minimum-odds requirement vary by operator — triggers the offer. Once that bet is settled, the free bet credit lands in your account, typically split into smaller free bets (for example three lots of £10) rather than one lump sum.
The key detail that catches new customers out is that the qualifying bet's outcome doesn't usually matter — you get the free bets whether it wins or loses. What does matter is the minimum odds requirement, commonly around evens (2.0) or 1/2 (1.5), which some bookmakers enforce and others don't.
As with any free bet, the credited amount pays out winnings only — the free bet stake itself is not returned. A £10 free bet winning at odds of 3.00 pays £20 profit, not £30. Free bets also expire, usually within 7 to 30 days, so use them promptly.
Because the exact stake, credit amount and minimum odds differ between bookmakers even when the headline reads similarly, it's worth comparing the full significant terms rather than the offer title alone before deciding where to sign up.
