My Favourite Cheltenham Offer in 2026
Ben DixonTipster
When it comes to picking the best offer for Cheltenham 2026, it's not just the amount you have to look at. You also have to consider that these free bets will be used on a market for the Festival, meaning you also want the bookie in question to have a wide coverage. After all, there's no use claiming free bets if the bookie doesn't offer the market(s) you want to use them on.
With all of that in mind, also considering if the bookies are horse racing-focused or not, Virgin Bet has the offer that I'm viewing with the most excitement this year. Not only do you get £30 in free bets for staking a £10 bet (min 1/2, 1.5 odds), but you also get a £10 free bet if your horse loses. Make sure to read the T&Cs so you understand it, but I think this is great.

Free Bets: accepted in 7 days, valid 7 days; £20 use on sportsbook, £10 on Bet Builder. Stake not returned. T&Cs + deposit exclusions apply. Bet Responsibly. GambleAware.org. 18+. |
