Background
Before editing OnlineBetFree, Tom worked as a sports betting analyst and as a casino affiliate consultant, roles that showed him how betting offers are built from both the player’s side and the operator’s side. He is also the iGaming editor at NewCasino.ai.
What Tom covers here
- UK bookmaker sign-up and existing-customer offers
- Free bets, bet builders, acca insurance and wagering requirements, explained in plain English
- Event hubs for the big fixtures, such as the Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National
- Safer gambling information and support links
How we check offers
Every operator listed on OnlineBetFree is checked against the UK Gambling Commission public register before we feature it. The operator’s own T&Cs are read line by line, and the significant terms (minimum odds, qualifying bet, expiry, stake returned or not, and payment-method exclusions) are shown next to the offer itself rather than behind a link. Each offer carries the date it was last checked, and expired offers are removed. Read more in How we check offers.
Editorial independence
OnlineBetFree may earn a commission when you sign up through some links (#ad). That never changes the terms you get, and it doesn’t decide which offers we explain or how we describe them.
