Horse racing betting sites and apps often offer welcome bonuses to entice new bettors to sign up. Some are relatively small, but others can significantly build your bankroll out of the gate. Some of the bonuses offered include:
- Deposit Match Bonuses: A deposit match bonus will match your initial deposit (and no other deposits, so choose your first funding wisely) with site credit. For example, a 100% deposit match bonus of up to $200 will potentially let you start wagering with up to $400 of app credit.
- Bet Credits: Bet credits are quick and easy to access. They give you some site credit for opening an account without any strings attached. However, you usually need to take advantage of the extra credit within seven days or so. Bet credits can also be delivered as a loyalty program as a reward for using your preferred app.
For many of these bonuses, note that you’ll need to “play through” any awarded site credit one or more times before you can withdraw your winnings. With some apps, you have to play through your deposit match credit at least once before you can withdraw any winnings you get from wagering that credit in a bet.
