There`s no debate that the World Cup is the biggest sporting event on the planet and bookmakers know that all to well. With this in mind, sportsbooks are trying to attract customers by handing out to new depositing customers improved promotions, bonuses and free bets. It’s an opportunity for both the casual bettor and the professional punter to capitalize on some of these promotions – some which hold value, some which are just fun and exciting, or both. We will list below what we think to be the best offers from the trusted bookmakers reviewed on betdistrict in order to help you decide where to bet. We have also selected the offers which are available in multiple countries, not only UK. Note that while we chose British pounds as reference, the promos are available in all currencies. These promotions are running from June the 1st until the last day of the Brazil World Cup.

Sbobet – 200 GBP bonus (15% of deposit value, code DEPBON8) OR 20 GBP free bet if you win your first bet (100% of bet value, code DOUBLE2)

Sbobet usually runs a 15%, 150 GBP welcome offer for new depositing customers, which they increased to 200 GBP for the World Cup. If that doesn`t scratch your back, you can opt in for another welcome offer for the period of Brazil 2014: place your first bet, win it, and Sbobet will double your winnings! (up to a maximum of GBP20). Simply enter the bonus code for your preferred choice (codes shown above). Terms & Conditions.

 

 

 

 

Youwin – 5 GBP free bet if Neymar scores at anytime against Croatia + similar bonuses in every day of the tournament.

Place a bet of at least 5 GBP on 12 July on any outcome with odds higher than 1.20 and if Neymar scores at anytime against Croatia, you will get a 5GBP free bet. Youwin will run similar promos everyday of the World Cup. This might be the promotion I like the most. While you won`t get rich from these cashbacks, they surely give you something to cheer for and make things more interesting. I reckon it`s perfect for the casual punter but it will provide more excitement for the professionals as well. To top it off, Youwin offers some great special bets as well (Ronaldy to cry during Portugal’s final match, Headbutting during the tournament and so on), plus their usual 10 GPB free bet (100% of first deposit). Terms & Conditions

 

Bwin – 50 GBP free bets if Brazil does not beat Croatia OR Germany does not beat Portugal OR your team gets knocked out via penalties.

Bwin will run three great promotions during the World Cup. Bet on Brazil to beat Croatia and/or Germany to beat Portugal and if you lose the bet, Bwin will refund your stakes up to 50 GBP. Also, if you place an outright World Cup winner bet and your team loses via penalties, you will receive a free bet with the same amout as your initial stake up to 50 GBP. You will also be eligible for the 50 EUR bonus for new depositing customers. Terms & Conditions
