Play the 6 Horses Cheltenham Challenge With Bet365

Bet365 is bringing you a brilliant promotion ahead of the 2026 Cheltenham Festival.

The 6 Horses Challenge is your chance to turn every day of the Festival into something even bigger. 

It’s simple, pick a winner in six selected races each day and see how far you can go.

Get three correct and you’ll pocket £2 in Bet Credits. Find four winners and you could land £5,000. Hit five and you’re looking at a potential prize of £10,000.

If you can nail all six winners, then there’s a massive £50,000 on offer.

But keep in mind that if there is more than one winner in the prize pool, the money is shared equally.

The 6 Horses Challenge runs every day of the Cheltenham Festival, giving you multiple shots at a serious payday. 

Best of all, it’s completely free to play, and if you fancy backing your selections with a bet, you can do that too.

How Do I Play The 6 Horses Challenge?

First, you’ll need a registered Bet365 account.

If you haven’t signed up yet, it only takes a few minutes - and new customers can also claim £30 in free bets.

Once you’ve taken advantage of that offer, head to the Horse Racing section of the Bet365 website. 

From the menu, select ‘Free Games’, where you’ll find the 6 Horses Challenge along with all the information you need to get started.

If a game is already in progress, you may need to wait until the next one. Then it’s simply a case of working through the runners in six selected races. 

After you’ve selected a horse for the first race, the page will automatically move you on to the next, where you can make your next pick.

Once you’ve made all six selections, you can enter the 6 Horses Challenge and track your progress throughout the day.

If you’d like to add a financial interest, you can also place single or multiple bets on your chosen runners straight away.

The competition is perfect to play during Cheltenham, when there’s a daily 6 Horses Challenge throughout the Festival. 

You can align your picks with the horses you’re backing, adding an extra layer of excitement to this competition - the more winners you find, the bigger the potential reward.

That means the £50,000 top prize for six correct predictions could be split several ways, particularly if a number of favourites come in.

For that reason, it may pay to include a slightly bolder pick or two. 

Favourites don’t win every race, and a more creative approach can sometimes prove more rewarding than simply following the shortest price.

Bet365 also offers plenty of other reasons to keep customers coming back. 

As a Best Odds Guaranteed bookmaker, you can take an early price and still be paid out at the SP if it’s bigger.

There’s also free live streaming available to customers with a funded account or those who have placed a bet on the event.
