Free Bets
Australia’s online betting market is highly competitive. To attract new customers, most online bookmakers offer new clients matched bonus bets – either by matching the value of a client’s first deposit or matching the value of their first bet. An example of a first matched deposit bonus might be –open an account with a bookmaker, deposit $500 and the bookmaker will match your deposit with $500 in bonus bets. A first bet bonus example may be – you open an account with a bookmaker and place a $200 first bet, when the bet settles, the bookmakers credits your account with $200 in bonus bets.
Although most online bookmakers offer matched bonuses, the maximum amount bookmakers will match and the basic terms and conditions of matched bonuses can differ.

Due to anti-enticement laws in Australia the residents of some Australian states and territories may be ineligible for first deposit bonuses. Although some residents may be ineligible for first deposit bonuses, they may qualify for first bet bonuses. What is the difference between first deposit bonuses and first bet bonuses? First deposit bonuses can be seen as an offer that entices new customers to join a bookmaker whereas first bet bonuses are offered to a client after they have already signed up. Therefore, a bet bonus is not enticing a customer to join a bookmaker as they have technically already joined. First bet bonuses – Although most bookmakers will automatically credit your account with a free bet after your first bet settles, it is recommended you phone the bookie prior to depositing into your account to ensure they will match you’re your first bet.
