I placed a £/€10 each way bet and finished second/third/fourth etc, beaten by less than a length from the winner, what will I get back?
You will be credited with a free bet up to £/€10 on the win part of your bet and the place part will be settled according to the place rules on that race. If you finished outside the places but within a length of the winner, you will still receive money back on the losing win part of your bet.
I back more than one horse in a race, does this count?
Our Beaten by A Length offer is only available on your first real money bet per race. If you back an additional selection in the same race, this would not be covered by the Beaten by a Length offer.
What markets does this offer apply to?
This offer applies to the standard Win and Each Way market and does not apply to any speciality market including Green Tick/Win Only, Place Only, Betting Without, Unnamed Favourite/2nd Favourite or any enhanced price specials.
When do I get my free bet?
We will endeavour to credit free bets shortly after the race weigh in, but free bets will be credited to qualifying customers within 24 hrs of qualifying bet settlement.
What happens if the race finishes with a dead heat first or second?
In the event of a dead heat second both selections will be awarded a free bet to the full value of the offer, up to £/€10 per customer. If there is a dead heat first, the offer does not apply.
What happens if the race result is reversed?
This offer does not apply in the event of a reversed result.
What happens if the horse finishing third is beaten within a length of the winner?
It does not matter which position the qualifying selection finishes in. If the horse is beaten within a length of the winner, it will qualify for Beaten by a Length.
