New customer offer
Simply stake £10 with Betfred and your £30 free bet will be available in your account within 48 hours of your first bet being settled. Using Betfred promotion code MAXCASH will guarantee you get your first deposit bonus.
There's a slight restriction in that you must stake £10 or more at cumulative odds of Evens (2.0) or greater, but it is an offer that we expect to be massively popular for punters looking to bet on political markets throughout the year.
Tell me more about Betfred...
Fred Done and his brother Peter started the chain with a single betting shop in Salford in 1967.
It's Fred who now chairs and plays an active role in promoting the company, to the extent where you often find his portrait popping up on the website and in adverts. Nevertheless, this is a bookmaker to be taken seriously, especially when you consider they are the world’s biggest independent bookmaker with a combined turnover of £1.5billion.
Website
When it comes to placing your bets, we've always found the Betfred site relatively easy to navigate, although it's perhaps not as dynamic-looking as some of their competitors.
General Election markets are (at time of writing) easily found on the home page, while other UK and US politics markets can be found via the left-hand menu.
Odds and markets
Betfred cover a large variety of sports and markets, and when it comes to political betting, the firm are focusing on British and American elections at time of writing.
In addition to British political markets following the recent General Election you can also bet on the Next President of the United States of America ahead of the 2020 US Presidential Election.
