Cheltenham Festival Sky Bet New Customer Offer: Get £60 in Free Horse Racing Bets

The most exciting four days on the horse racing calendar get underway on Tuesday, 10th March, and there is an excellent offer available at Sky Bet to signal the start of the Cheltenham Festival.

New customers can get an incredible £60 in free bets after making a qualifying £20 wager with Sky Bet to use on any races at the Cheltenham Festival.

The free bets can be used throughout the four-day meeting (and beyond), so new players aren’t pressured to use their stake on the first day. Free bets will be awarded in 6 x £10 stakes after meeting the qualifying criteria.
