Top Grand National Free Bets for 2023
Everyone from the hardened punter to the casual observer enjoys a flutter on the Grand National. Competition among online bookmakers is fierce and that's why welcome offers are in plentiful supply around the time of the race
Grand National free bets usually come in the form of new customer betting offers, which generally require you to make a deposit or qualifying bet to activate them.
For example, you may get £50 in Grand National free bets for signing up to a betting site and depositing £10. Sometimes you can get free bets without putting any money down - but these no-deposit bonuses are extremely rare. You might also be offered money back as cash if your bet loses.
To use bonus funds as 2023 Grand National free bets you will need to register with the sports betting site running the offer and follow the terms and conditions stated.
2023 Grand National Offers Compared

In terms of Grand National offers, non-runner no bet is present along with six each-way places at one fifth of the odds. Best odds guaranteed also applies to the Grand National at bet365.
Grand National Free Bets With 888sport
888sport is a great destination for online horse racing betting and runs best odds guaranteed on all UK and Irish racing, with separate tabs for ante-post, virtuals and specials.
The 888sport welcome offer gives new players £30 in Grand National free bets along with a £10 casino bonus once you sign up and place a £10 bet. You can also grab a £5 free bet every day if you land a winner at 4/1 or bigger on a minimum bet of £10.
We'd ideally like to see more extra each-way places as part of 888's Grand National offers, but competitive odds, free bets and a slick user experience are big selling points
Coral Grand National Betting Offers
Coral goes back a long way, having originally been established by Joe Coral in 1926. It is now one of the most competitive online bookmakers on the market.
New customers get a £20 free bet for signing up when they bet £5, while Coral also has a promotion paying out on extra places every day when you back your horse each-way on selected races.
The odds on some niche sports aren't always the most competitive - but that's not a worry for the Grand National, as Coral's pricing is very fair when it comes to horse racing.
Grand National Bet Offers From BetVictor
BetVictor offers a welcome bonus of £30 split into three £10 Grand National free bets when you sign up and bet £5.
Existing customers can utilise the BV Loyalty Club to get a weekly £5 free bet by opting in and placing five sports bets of £5 or more.

You'll also get your money back if the horse you bet on doesn't run, thanks to William Hill's non-runner no bet Grand National offer.
Types of Grand National Betting Offers
It’s not just new customer free bets that are on offer ahead of the Grand National - online bookmakers also run a host of deals for existing customers as well. Here, we'll run you through some of the best existing customer offers from leading Grand National bookies.
Extra Each-Way Places
Each way betting allows you to cover the possibility of your horse winning and your horse finishing in the top few places - usually including second, third and fourth. It’s often shortened to E/W and essentially creates two separate bets on the same horse, always of equal stakes.
In most handicap horse races with over 16 runners, the industry standard for each-way betting is 1-2-3-4 places at 1/4 odds. But as the Grand National field is always close to or at 40 runners, bookies often have extra each-way places as a Grand National bet offer.
Some betting sites will pay up to eight places and each-way betting can even sometimes go as low as 10th place, so it always pays to look around before placing your bets.
Grand National Betting Sites With Extra Each-Way Places
Best Odds Guaranteed
Many leading bookmakers offer their bettors best odds guaranteed on big horse racing events like the Grand National. This means that if you place a bet on a runner at a certain price and the price drifts out, you will receive a payout at the higher rate if your horse wins.
For example, you could place a bet on a horse early in the morning on the day of the Grand National at odds of 10/1, but when you check just an hour before the race starts, the price is now showing 12/1. If the horse goes on to win the race at the starting price of 12/1, you get the best price and the bookie pays you out at the higher odds.
You might find great odds on the top Grand National bookies and best betting apps in the weeks leading up to the Grand National which are well worth jumping on - but you won’t get best odds guaranteed, because this betting offer is only available on the day of the race.
It might pay to take your chances with ante-post odds offered by bookies before race day, but you may be left frustrated if the odds increase substantially and you aren’t covered. With this in mind, placing your bets on the day could be the most savvy move.
Grand National Betting Sites With Best Odds Guaranteed
Enhanced Odds
Enhanced odds is one of the most popular Grand National betting offers, meaning you can get the runner you want at a better price.
Prices are usually boosted in the days leading up to the race and it’s important to read through the terms and conditions, as some bookies have different wagering requirements that you must meet in order to qualify for enhanced odds.
Grand National Betting Sites With Enhanced Odds
Non-Runner No Bet
Non-runner no bet means that if your horse doesn’t run on the day of the race for whatever reason, your bet will be classed as void and your stake will be returned to you as cash.
As ante-post betting opens well in advance for big races like the Grand National, you can grab great prices months before the big day.
But as you won’t know the confirmed runners until two days before the race starts, it pays to bet with bookies that offer non-runner no bet just in case your choice doesn’t make the final lineup.
Grand National Betting Sites With Non-Runner No Bet
Faller Insurance
Commonly offered during the jump racing season, faller insurance means if your horse falls, is brought down, or unseats its jockey during the Grand National, you’ll receive your stake back up to a preset limit.
Given that Aintree has 30 tricky fences and a competitive field of 40 runners, faller insurance is one of the best Grand National offers to avail of. If your horse falls your stake will usually be refunded to your account balance as a free bet.

2023 Grand National Betting Odds (Ante Post)
Grand National ante post betting gives you the chance to take early odds for the horses potentially racing in the 2023 edition of the Aintree classic.
