Estimated, not guaranteed — a free bet pays your winnings and keeps the stake, so it's worth less than the headline figure.

What it's really worth

The headline is £20.00. Allowing for the way the reward actually pays out, a realistic range is £14.00–£16.00. An estimate, not a promise — and it's lower than the headline because a free bet returns your winnings and keeps the stake.

Is it worth it?

Bwin's Bet £5 Get £20 is a new-customer offer, so it's a one-off: worth judging on what you get back for the money you have to put through, not on the headline.

Realistically it returns about 3.0× your £5 qualifying stake — roughly £14 to £16 of usable value against a £20 headline.

That's better than most of the welcome offers we currently track — it beats 68% of them on our score.

The part worth knowing before you start: the reward expires after 7 days, so it suits someone betting that week rather than someone saving it, and it arrives in 4 separate parts rather than one, so it takes several bets to use up.

Best for

  • Anyone who doesn't want to stake much up front
  • Getting the most back per pound staked
  • Qualifying with a short-priced bet

Think twice if

  • Only 7 days to use it

How it works, step by step

  1. 1Open an account with Bwin.
  2. 2Place a qualifying bet of £5 at odds of 1.50 or bigger.
  3. 3Wait for that bet to settle — the reward follows settlement, not placement.
  4. 4£20 is credited as 4 separate parts, so plan on 4 bets rather than one.
  5. 5Use it within 7 days — anything left after that is lost.
