How to Use Cheltenham Gold Cup Free Bets
There are two options for most of the offers available, if you're looking for ways to use your Cheltenham Gold Cup free bets.
With most the offers being bet and get offers, it makes it simple enough to explain both of them together.
Firstly, you can place a Cheltenham Gold Cup bet as your qualifying bet and make sure that this bet meets the requirements needed to fulfil the terms of the offer. After you've watched the Gold Cup, and your bet has been settled, you'll have free bets to use for the rest of the day, or the coming days.
If you go down this route, be sure to double check the requirements for the qualifying offer, so you hit them, these are usually around the size of the bet, and the minimum odds you need to hit.
Secondly, you can place a bet that will be settled before the Gold Cup, which should settle and give you the free bets before the big race, so you can spend some or all of them on the feature.
With this, you need to place your qualifying bet on a race that is early enough so it can be settled and the free bets can be credited to your account before the Gold Cup.

Cheltenham Gold Cup Race Preview
The Cheltenham Gold Cup of 2026 promises to be a cracker, and according to the betting at least, it's one of the more open renewals we've had in recent years.
A sign that there's plenty of strength in the staying chase division, or a sign that we're lacking a superstar? I guess it depends who you ask.
The Jukebox Man won the King George, but it was tight and Gaelic Warrior and Jango Baie were both less than half a length behind.
Inothewayurthinkin won last year's renewal like a good one, and looked set to dominate things, but he's been a real disappointment this year, although the Cromwell team believe they're getting him right, slowly.
Haiti Couleurs is the dour stayer, and the more rain the better for him, he wants a real test, and that's perhaps even more important given there's some in the field that have stamina doubts.
Spillane's Tower won the trial for this, the Cotswold Chase, and Dan Skelton tells us Grey Dawning has never been better, both adding to the depth of this field.
11 go to post, and I can't wait.
