How to Improve Your Betting Experience with Bookie Reload Offers and Bonuses

If you are of the opinion that the only bonuses which are available to online punters come in the form of sign up bonuses, you really couldn’t be more wrong.

Bookie reload offers are often more lucrative than sign up bonuses and taking advantage of these reload betting offers has become a favourite and profitable pastime for astute punters who have realised how profitable they can be.

The best reload offers can come in several different forms, and it would be safe to say that when a bookie brings out reload offers and they prove to be some of the best betting offers, other sportsbooks will bring out a similar bookmaker reload offers in order to get a piece of the action.

If you are not familiar with bookie reload offers, they are basically a type of bonus which bookies offer to existing customers in return for them making a deposit.

Some of these offers are straightforward, for example, a bonus which is a percentage of the deposit which is made.

Other types of sportsbook reload bonus include ‘what if’ types of bonuses, if a players scores first or if the match is a 0 – 0 draw are just two examples, but we will look a little deeper into the different types of betting reload bonuses later.

Why Do Bookies Offer Reload Betting Offers?

Bookies offer reload betting offers for the simple reason that if they didn’t, large numbers of their customers would no longer place bets with them. The betting industry is extremely competitive, it is very easy for anyone who lives in the UK and who is over eighteen years old to open an account so punters will quite rightly shop around to get the best reload bonus.

There are obviously many other factors which the savvy punter should take into account apart from the reload bonus offers, such as how competitive the odds are and the overall quality of the customer service, but high-quality bookie reload offers can make a massive difference in your betting experience.

Sometimes the Not So Obvious Bookie Reload Offers Can Be the Most Lucrative

A big mistake that many punters make is that they don’t look any further than the obvious bookie reload offers such as, make a deposit of x amount and receive a reload bonus which is a percentage of that deposit.

These type of reload offers UK are obviously very good, but some of the other bookie reload offers that are out there also offer the potential to realise some great profits on a regular basis. The former type of bonus is usually only offered every now and then, but some of these other reload bonuses can be claimed several times a week and in many cases, several times per day.

Before we go any further though, it is worth mentioning that it would be a good idea to open several sportsbook accounts across a number of different sportsbooks to take advantage of matched betting reload offers, because if you constantly use the same sportsbook in order to take advantage of the same reload bonus, your account will eventually become limited with regards to the size of bets that you can place.

The reason for this is because some of these bookies reload bonuses are extremely generous and at the end of the day, sportsbooks are not charitable organizations, they are businesses that aim to make hay while the sun shines, and this fact should always be remembered. If you have a number of sportsbook accounts open though, in order to spread your bets, having your bets limited will not be a problem.

Ok, let’s take a look at some of the reload bonus bookmakers offers which are out there:

First Goal Scorer Bets to Blow Your Mind

A few bookies such as Betfred offer a first goal scorer reload bonus which is well worth further investigation due to the potential profits which it can offer. The way it works is that a sportsbook will select certain football matches for which a reload bonus called ‘hat trick heaven’ will be offered.

The way it works is that you place a bet on the first goal scorer market in one of these selected football matches and if your selection scores the first goal in the match, and then goes on to score a second goal and even a third goal, the initial winning will be multiplied by how many goals they go on to score up to three goals (a hat trick).

The best way to describe this would be to give an example so let’s look at a Premier League match: say that Tottenham v Arsenal has been selected for a hat trick heaven match and you place a first goal scorer bet of £10 on Harry Kane at odds of 4/1.

Fill Your Boots with an Odds Boost

An odds boost has become an extremely popular bookie reload bonus over the past few years, and this is also offered in several different guises. The most obvious one would simply be an increase in odds, for example, a selection in a horse race (very popular on 888sport) or a football match could have the odds boosted for a short period of time.

Odds boosts are usually advertised in advance on the sportsbook website or on their social media channels, and as already mentioned, the boost is usually only in place for a short period of time, thirty minutes for example.

Another type of popular odds boost would be a multiple bet which is chosen by the sportsbook and again usually only offered for a short space of time. This type of sportsbook reload bonus is often based on football matches and will usually be advertised like this, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all to win, usual odds 5/1, Now 7/1.

Bonuses such as this can sometimes offer great value, but you should be aware that it is often the case that in the bookie's view, one of the selections may be more unlikely to win than you may think, which is why they are offering this promotion.

These bets do sometimes win though, so if you are of the opinion that the bet offers good value for money, it would be a good idea to get involved. If you do like the idea of these odds boosts, you should make sure that you follow the sportsbooks in question on Twitter, because you will sometimes find that these types of betting reload bonuses are advertised at short notice, and you will find yourself in a position to take advantage of them.

Two Goals up Means That You Are a Winner

The ‘two’s up’ reload offers UK are also very popular because if you place a bet on a football match (in specified leagues) and your bet goes two goal ahead you will be paid out as a winner.

How many times have you seen a team go into a two goal lead only for their opponents to come back from the dead and go on to win the match? This happens more times than you would probably imagine and whilst your fellow punters might be distraught at losing a bet where everything looked so good, you can smile to yourself with your winning selection.

Maximise Reload Betting Offers with a Betting Exchange

A great way of making profits from matched betting reload offers is to use a betting exchange (Betfair offers this option) to lay the bets and hope that one of the best bookie reload bonus is triggered.

An example of this would be the ‘two’s up’ promotion where you could simply back a team to win a football match and if the odds were favourable at a betting exchange, lay that same selection so that you would be in more or less the same financial situation if your team won or lost.

Then, if your selection went on to be winning by two goals and then either drew or lost the match, the reload bonus would mean that you would show a profit. It would help if you studied the football form to see if results like this would be more likely, but it gives an example of another way of profiting from the wonderful world of bookmaker reload offers and the massive potential profits which are on offer to anyone who is interested in getting involved.
