The Cheltenham Festival is underway as we speak and the best races are yet to come, with the flagship competition being scheduled for Friday. Betfred used to be a sponsor of this event and even though there are no longer in the spotlight, players can bet on any of the races. The bookmaker section is visited by thousands of horse racing enthusiasts, but those who prefer live casino games are not going to be disappointed this week.

Betfred Live Casino will double the deposits made by players during the Cheltenham Festival up to a maximum of €10. It’s not a life-changing amount by any means, but then again this campaign is aimed at amateurs and beginners who don’t have a lot of money to spend. All those who participate will get to play roulette, blackjack, baccarat and hold’em against real dealers and also collect the bonus.

A single deposit of €10 will suffice and this amount needs to be played on any of the qualifying games to receive the associated bonus of €20. In a nutshell, players will have €30 to spend right away and if they opt in for this promotion, any deposit is going to be matched. The Cheltenham Festival will conclude on Friday, so the window of opportunity will close soon enough, but the bonuses can be used until the end of the month.

Members who already have money in their online account but used to play poker or bet on sports can simply transfer the funds to the casino section. By doing so they will still be eligible for the bonus, so there is no need for them to make a new deposit. This campaign is available to players regardless of their VIP membership, so beginners and professionals will have the same chances. One can use the web interface, a mobile device for conventional desktop computers to opt in and make a qualifying deposit.

New players should know that this offer and the introductory package are mutually exclusive so they should apply for the welcome bonus first. The amount is significantly higher and that’s why it makes perfect sense to forsake this otherwise exciting campaign. All the other members shouldn’t waste no precious time and make a deposit today, so that they claim the bonus shortly after.

Immediately after this is awarded, the bonus needs to be played through 50 times but the wagering requirements don’t apply to the deposit. At the end of the day it all evens out and clearing the bonus is not that difficult as it seems. All the games qualify, but roulette and blackjack have a lower stake percentage contribution, which makes them less effective for those who want to redeem the bonus faster.

It is refreshing to know that players have a total of two weeks to clear the bonus of €20, a very manageable objective even for amateurs..
