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
- 1Open an account with Bwin.
- 2Place a qualifying bet of £5 at odds of 1.50 or bigger.
- 3Wait for that bet to settle — the reward follows settlement, not placement.
- 4£20 is credited as 4 separate parts, so plan on 4 bets rather than one.
- 5Use it within 7 days — anything left after that is lost.
A worked example
- You stake
- £5
- Reward credited
- £20 (4 × £5)
- Free bet placed at 2.00, and it wins
- £20 returned
- You keep
- £20 — the stake stays with the bookmaker
- Realistic value across outcomes
- £14–£16
A worked example, not a prediction — it shows how the offer settles if the bet wins, and says nothing about whether it will.
