As the race gets closer, Grand national free bets become few and far between!
Many bookmakers stop offering free bets on Grand National day as they know people will need to open new accounts anyway. We have searched for bookmakers who continue to offer grand national free bets and list these here for your information.
Most of the free bets available for the Grand National will be straight match bets. This means, place a bet of a certain amount and get a free bet of the same amount. Make sure that you read the terms and conditions when you get to the bookmaker site.
Click the links on this page to qualify for the free bet listed as some free bets may be exclusive to us and not available by going direct.
As well as getting a free bet for opening your account to place your grand national bets, you should consider the grand national offers that bookmakers provide too.
Some will give more places than the industry standard of 4 for your each way bets. Others may provide other incentives.
For an even longer list of offers see this free bets page.
