World Cup: Bookie offers & free bets

With bookmakers aplenty battling for your wallet, there are many offers available ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

Of course, price is also a crucial factor for punters but some of these offers may swing things for you when it comes to deciding where to place your bets.

There are free bets being dangled with William Hill’s double offering looking most tempting to me, not to mention the usual money-back offers – Sky Bet’s looks tempting if you are betting on the outright market, while Betway’s on England v Tunisia is surely a no-brainer.

Finally, both BetVictor and Coral have come up with innovative ideas involving £1million jackpots. BetVictor – who also handed out £1million at Euro 2016 – lead the way here and in the request-your-own-bet era it will be interesting to hear whether punters take their bait in bid to win a life-changing sum.
