M88 Free Bet
M88 welcomes new customers with an enticing offer of a 100% sports bonus, up to £10.
To claim the welcome offer, simply register an account at M88.co.uk and make an initial deposit of £5 or more.

Once you have made a deposit, you need to place a multiple bet containing a minimum of three selections. Each selection must have odds of 1.8 or greater to qualify. Once your qualifying bet has settled, M88 will credit your account with a free bet to the value of your stake up to a maximum of £10. Your free bet can be used on any sports market and any winnings from the free bet will be credited as cash minus the value of the free bet.
Any bets which are fully are partially cashed out will not count as a qualifying bet. Also, your qualifying bet must be placed and settle within 14 days of opening your account.
This is a great offer for those who like to place accumulator bets and is perfect for the football season. There is value in this offer and it is possible to lock in a profit using matched betting by backing a multiple and laying each leg sequentially. MatchedBets.com provides step-by-step guides on how to do this as well as a range of user-friendly matched betting tools to make the process as simple as possible.

M88 Promotions
Although M88.co.uk don’t run a huge number of offers, they do have a couple which are worth taking note of and which provide value alongside their 100% sports welcome bonus.
Acca Insurance – Place an accumulator bet on a football market of between £2 and £50 on at least 6 selections and if one selection loses M88 will give you 100% of your stake as a Free Bet Token. Your selections can be either pre-match or in-play and each selection must have odds of 1.6 or greater.
Boring Football Free Bet – Place a bet on a correct score in the match and if it ends with the score 0-0, M88 will refund 50% of your stake in the form of a free bet token. This offer applies to Premier League matches only and the maximum refund per match, per customer is £25.
Cash Out – Cash Out is available on selected events, fixtures and markets both pre-match and in-play/live, on single and multiple bets, for a variety of sports including Football, Tennis and Basketball. Markets for which cash out is available will display the Cash Out logo ($) alongside them.
M88 Website
When landing on the M88 website, you have easy access to the sportsbook, casino, live betting and promotions sections of the site. You may recognise the layout of the sportsbook area which is used on multiple other bookmaker sites. A list of sports is displayed in the left sidebar with the main markets and odds for each event taking centre stage in the middle of the screen. The layout of the website is relatively user-friendly but the colour scheme does make it slightly difficult to read the text which should really be brighter so that it stands out more.
Many of the more popular sports such as football and tennis will have a live computer-generated representation of what is happening in the event. This allows you to see what is happening in the match when a live stream isn’t available and can allow you to make more informed bets.
M88 also provide a range of stats for live events. For football, stats such as the number of attacks made by each team, the number of corners, throw-ins, yellow/red cards and shots on target are all available. This is useful when you’re considering placing an in-play bet and would like to know which side is currently dominating the match.
Overall, we would recommend M88. They provide a good sign-up offer for new customers and are part of one of the biggest betting brands in the world. We would like to see more on-going promotions for existing customers and live chat support on the site but other than that they are a good choice of bookmaker.
