When it comes to sports betting, wherever you can get a boost, you’re going to want to take it. Whether this is getting a tip from one of your mates or knowing a bit more about a team's lineup in advance, likewise, especially if you bet online at a sportsbook or if you’re looking for casino promotions with zero wagering requirements, you want value for money.
There are a wide range of different bonuses that you can stumble across online, and it’s important to know what the different types of bonuses are. Likewise, it’s important that you use these in the right way and don’t use them stupidly without thinking about it.
If you don’t know what we mean by using these wisely, that is fine, as today we are going to look at three top tips, so if you’re looking to use a football bonus bet, you know how to make the most of it.
Check the Payment Methods
When it comes to what payment methods are accepted, this can vary depending on which sports betting website you’re looking at signing up to. Some may offer some great bonuses and promotions, but let’s say you’re limited to depositing and withdrawing through PayPal, and they don’t offer or accept this. You are going to end up missing out.
Instead of this frustration, before the outset and before putting any money in or looking into what you’re going to use your bonus on, make sure that the website does indeed take and support the payment method that you’re planning on using when you’re placing a bet on their website. Again, this is ensuring you do your homework before registering with a sports betting website.
Check the Small Print
To avoid disappointment, especially if you have gone for a bonus or promotion that required a deposit, read the terms and conditions beforehand. As sometimes bonuses are not all that they appear. What we mean by this is that a sportsbook could be offering what seems like a very attractive bonus for you to bet on, but in the small print, it might actually stipulate that there is a limit as to how much you can place on that certain bet, therefore not making it potentially as lucrative as you thought it was initially going to be.
Likewise, you may only be able to use your bonus funds on a certain sporting fixture, which could be one where you don’t particularly know the teams or players well at all, putting you in fact at a disadvantage even though you have a bonus.
Understand the Types of Bonuses
Before, we mentioned that there were different types of bonuses and each had different restrictions that you needed to be aware of. The first, as we alluded to earlier on, are called deposit bonuses. This is whereby you will need to deposit into your account online, and then after that, you will get a bonus.
This is usually specified in the form of a percentage. This means that if a bonus says deposit £10 and get 100%, you’ll get £10 on top. You also have free bets whereby you don’t have to deposit at all, which essentially is a risk-free bet. You may also have bonuses that only occur during certain events, for example, during the FIFA World Cup.
Do Your Research
Just like with any football or sports bet, you will want to do your homework before you go ahead and take advantage of your sports betting bonus. What we mean by this is usually looking at the form of each of the teams: is one team particularly good at home? Over the past meetings, has one team won more than the other?
Other things you’ll want to look at are the team news. Sometimes a team can have an Achilles heel if they have a particular star player missing through injury or international duty, and if they do, this is something you can pick up on sooner rather than later.
In Summary
Hopefully, these tips that we’ve given you today will give you that bit of a head start, but you must always remember that there is no guaranteed bet. Even if one team has beaten the other in the last 20 meetings, there is always a small chance that this could be the fixture where the tables turn and they in fact lose.
The best thing you can do is to follow the tips we provided today and utilize as many online resources as possible for your research. This way, when it comes time to take advantage of your sports betting bonus, you will be as informed as possible.
