How to claim their £25 sign-up offer
First, of course, you need to fill in the new player registration form. This won’t take you more than two minutes. You will then need to deposit and place a bet that is worth at least £10 with your new account. Once the bet is settled, you will be credited with your free bet in an hour or so.
Then the next four bets will come as a fifty percent average of your next three qualifying bets. The main thing to bear in mind is that the bonus will remain valid for 7 days after registration; after you’ve used one of the free bets, the next will be credited on a next hour basis.
Other promotions:
Other than the free bet, there are other promotions that Boylesports have for you!
One area where the bookmaker really stands out is with their outstanding set of bet refund deals. During the peak season, you’ll often be able to find up to 10 different promotions that give you the chance to have your stake returned in the form of a Boylesports free bet deal when a bit of bad luck has let you down. Refunds of up to £25 can be granted if your horse just gets pipped to first place, if one leg fails to come through on your 5+ fold football accumulator, or if your player loses in a fifth set decider in tennis – you can even sometimes find special promotions that offer to refund all losing bets if a player hits the crossbar in a football fixture!
There’s also a nice selection of daily bonus specials, which include exclusive enhanced odds prices and special promotions for football, racing and a number of other sports.
Matched bet
We also get free bets worth €30. Basically any bet between £10 and £30 is matched by the bookmaker in the form of a free bet bonus. This means you get 100% extra when you place your first bet with the bookmaker.

Customer support
Their support team is available 24 hours a day! Decent but, we obviously expect that from them. The bookie has a fast responding customer service with numerous channels with which you can relay your issues. But the best among them all has to be the live chat feature which sees your query answered within 5 seconds of your query, no matter the time. Your second best channel would be email although it isn’t as fast as the live chat as you would expect.
