Sports Bonus | Welcome Bonus

Before you take advantage of the Mobile Wins Sports betting welcome bonus, it’s useful to know more about it.

What types of welcome bonuses are there actually? Are some welcome bonuses more favourable than others? What else should you pay attention to when claiming the Mobile Wins Sports betting welcome bonus? Can you claim multiple welcome bonuses at the same time? How do you do it? 

Plenty of questions. Time for answers. Mobile Wins Sports tells you everything you need to know about bookmaker welcome bonuses in general. So that soon you will know how to get the most out of them.

What is the Mobile Wins Sports Betting Welcome Bonus?

Simply put, it starts with the dynamics of supply and demand. There is a limited number of bookmakers and a large group of (potential) players. Like all other bookmakers Mobile Wins Sports wants as many players and new players to come and bet.

One of Mobile Wins Sports ‘instruments’ to attract you is our bookmaker sign-up bonus or welcome bonus. That is why Mobile Wins Sports makes sure you as a player are aware of this. Which also makes sense. “Bet with a bonus” sounds more interesting and attractive than “Our customer service is available 24/7” (even though they are available 24/7 to help you).

We are sometimes asked why you get a welcome bonus at online bookmakers but not at physical betting shops. Fair question. Think of it this way: a betting shop usually has no direct competition. That is, there is often no other betting shop next door, or right around the corner.

Online, of course, there is. You are just a click away from the next bookmaker. Online, in a manner of speaking, you have a buffet of bookmakers you walk past as a player. And as it goes with a buffet, you choose what looks good. At Mobile Wins Sports we ofcourse hope that we’re the ones you fancy!

Most common Sports Betting Welcome Bonuses

Like other bookmakers Mobile Wins Sports has a number of different types of welcome bonuses that entice players. We list the most common ones for you. That way you’ll get to know the differences. And you will know what to choose later.

Deposit bonus

The best-known welcome bonus, of course, also because it shares many similarities with the casino deposit bonus. Standard is the 100% deposit bonus. Which means that the bookmaker will match, or double, your first deposit 100%. This often involves a minimum deposit as well as a maximum bonus amount. 

A well-known example is the 100% deposit bonus up to €100.

For convenience, let’s take a minimum deposit of €10. So if you choose this amount as your first deposit, you start with €20 budget. Your own deposit of €10 + €10 from the bookmaker.

On the other hand, if you choose the maximum bonus amount, you deposit €100 and get €100 from the bookmaker. And you start with €200 in your account.

The amount you get from the bookmaker is called ‘betting credit’. This makes it immediately clear that you can only bet the amount on sports bets. And therefore not on casino games. For that, you need to claim the casino welcome bonus.

Of course, we live in a time when many operators are both bookmaker and casino. Or vice versa, depending on their history and thus ‘core business’. 

So if you want a casino welcome bonus in addition to your bookmaker welcome bonus, you can often claim it from the same operator.

Free Bet

The Free Bet, Free Bet or Free Bet is a popular welcome bonus. Works nicely psychologically too because your brain immediately turns on as soon as you hear ‘free’. Is a Free Bet really free?

Not quite, at least the bet itself is free. But there is often a condition to deposit or bet. On the Free Bet without deposit conditions, we will tell you more in a moment. For now, we focus on the most common Free Bet – where you have to deposit and/or bet.

You often come across Free Bets that are communicated as follows:

Bet €10 & get €10. Or bet €10 and get €20. 

The amount you get is the Free Bet and as such is a free bet. In the first example, it converts to a 100% bonus. In the second example, a 200% bonus. After all, you bet a tenner and get two tens from the bookmaker. Therein lies the beauty of the Free Bet.

The bookmaker pays your bet. Which means you can’t lose. Because whether you win or lose your bet, you had to pay €0 for it yourself. No wonder, then, that players are so keen on Free Bets. And bookmakers throw them around so lavishly.

No Deposit Free Bet

Bookmakers understand very well that you have to cross a number of thresholds before you are an active player. That is, a player with a registered account who has deposited and is placing bets. It is already contained in this sentence.

First, you have to go through the registration process. With all the official documents, etc. Then you have to decide that you are depositing real money into your account. That’s money you’ve worked for. With which you can potentially win something. But that you could just as easily lose.

Moreover, you deposit this money with a bookmaker you have no experience of your own. Once you have done this, you still have to actually place your first bet. After all, bookmakers can only earn from you if you place a bet, and then lose. 

See here in a nutshell the process every player has to go through. There are some drop-off moments in there. Bookmakers understand this. Especially bookmakers that are not yet well known to the general public. Therefore, what they sometimes do is offer a No Deposit Free Bet.

That is exactly what it says: a free bet with no deposit. In other words, a really completely free bet. You will understand that this does not involve large sums of money. Usually it involves a No Deposit Free Bet of €5. Sometimes €10. It is what is called an appetiser in restaurants. A taster.

By letting you bet for free, the bookmaker hopes you’ll get a taste for it. And become an active player with them.

Risk Free Bet as a Welcome Bonus

Also called the Free Bet With A Safety Net. A little less common. But that is of course more often the case with safety nets. The bottom line is that you can’t really lose with this Free Bet either.

Because people sometimes forget, when they are focused on all those attractive bookmaker bonuses. That you can lose bets just like that. More often than you’d like. Because you bet on football and Manchester City turns out not to be unbeatable in the Premier League after all.

Or PSV Eindhoven do go down with a B team in the Dutch Cup against RKC. And even the No 1 in the ATP Ranking does lose a Grand Slam Tennis Final.

At such times, a Risk Free Bet is welcome, as it gets you your stake back if you lose. In short, nothing won, nothing lost. Quitte. Status Quo. Back to start while keeping your salary. You understand, if you come across it…. always take advantage of it.

What should you pay attention to with Mobile Wins Sports Welcome Bonuses?

With any bookmaker welcome bonus, you need to pay attention to two things. First of all, of course, what kind of welcome bonus it is, and what value it represents.

But in addition, pay close attention to the terms and conditions. With every bookmakers welcome bonus, you have to deal with small print. And these ultimately determine whether it really is an attractive bonus or not.

Common terms & conditions:

• The first condition is that a bonus can only be claimed once per address. That doesn’t say much about how attractive the bonus is. But since it is a basic condition, it is useful to keep in mind. Especially if you have roommates who like sports betting like you do.
• Validity period of the welcome bonus. Sometimes you have 30 days to wager your betting credit. But often, with a Free Bet, you have to convert it into an actual bet within 7 days.
• The type of bet. Please note that your bonus money bet only counts for minimum odds. For example, this could be minimum odds of 1.40.
• Unlocking your Free Bet. Some free bets require you to ‘play around’ with your own money x-number of times before the bonus money is released. So if you have to play a Free Bet of €10 4x, you must have wagered €40 before you can get that €10 bonus.
• What you actually win. Whether it’s a betting bonus or free bet, you only win what you actually win. That is, you don’t also get your stake back. Bonus money offers you the chance to win something. But the bonus money itself is not redeemable for cash. Nor is it cashable. So never count yourself richer than you are. Think of bonus money as a penalty. It also only counts when it goes in. And you never get to keep the ball.

Account Limit

In many countries, for the purpose of Responsible Gaming, there can be a requirement to set account limits. We are talking about things like maximum deposit, maximum playing time and the maximum amount of money allowed in your account.

Of course, opinions are divided on this, but as far as we are concerned a good development. It makes you play more consciously. Thinking more consciously about how often you play, how much money you bet, etc. Which makes it easier to create the conditions for yourself to keep it fun. 

We therefore always recommend agreeing a justifiable budget with yourself in advance.

How do you claim a Welcome Bonus? 

You can only claim a bookmaker welcome bonus once you go through a number of steps:

• Decide which welcome bonus(s) you want to claim
• Register your account with the relevant bookmaker(s)
• Make an initial deposit. Here, look at the amount of the deposit in relation to the bookmaker welcome bonus. 
• With a deposit bonus, your welcome bonus is in principle automatically added to your player account. In some cases, you have to consciously claim and/or click on it first.
• Is the condition that you have to bet first? Then place your first bet. The Free Bet you are then entitled to is allocated to your player account.

You are ready to claim your first Mobile Wins Sports welcome bonus.
