What are welcome bonuses at bookmakers?
Welcome bonuses are special offers provided by bookmakers to new users as an incentive to register and make their first deposit. Welcome bonuses are designed to increase new players' chances of winning and give them more value for their money.
Types of welcome bonuses
- Deposit Bonus: The office will add a bonus to your first deposit, such as a 100% bonus up to a certain amount. So, for example, if you deposit ₦181,711 into your account, you will receive an additional ₦181,711 from the sportsbook.
- Free bets: Get free credits for your first bet or deposit, which you can use to place a bet.
- Better payouts on specific bets, often on popular events.
- Risk-free bet: If your first bet loses, you will receive your deposit back in the form of betting credits.
