FREEBETS.COM RATES LADBROKES TOP FOR MONEY-BACK OFFERS

Posted: 12 Jun 2013 01:34 AM PDT

Wednesday 12th June – Ladbrokes ranked highest among a cross-section of bookmakers when it came to money-back offers for customers, new analysis has revealed. Leading affiliate site FREEBETS.com rated the firm as finishing ahead of 16 other major sportsbooks after researching data to help customers find the top online deals.

The company's team used its own algorithms based on the number of money-back offers available, the free bet or cash refund value, the likelihood of the scenario to occur, and the number of events and markets which qualify for the offer.

Ladbrokes scored highly on account of their popular 'What a Finish' promotion which refunds racing bets on losing selections beaten a neck or less on selected races each day. Big event money-back offers if Dawn Approach won the 2000 Guineas and a free bet if Bayern Munich failed to win the Champions League final also helped secure their position at the top of the standings.

David Archer, owner of Freebets.com, added: "There has been a lot of debate in the industry of late, particularly after some really punter-friendly deals at this year's Cheltenham Festival, about money back offers so we decided to start keeping track.

"We hope our findings help customers get the most out of their betting experience by determining which bookies offer consistent value. Freebets.com lists all the best odds and offers online in one easy to use place."

Paddy Power were runners-up in the inaugural table after scoring highly for offering a maximum £100 refund value, compared to typically £25 at Ladbrokes.

Of the bookmakers surveyed, Paddy Power and BetVictor offered Money Back promotions on the most sports with ten each. Ladbrokes and Betfair Sportsbook offered them on eight, whilst Coral were next with five.

The individual Money Back Offer of the Month Award for May was awarded to 188BET for their promotion of a £100 free bet refund on losing French Open Men's Singles outright winner bets if Rafael Nadal won.

Des de Silva, Head of Marketing for 188BET, said: "We're always looking to offer great value promotions for our customers across all our sports markets and our Nadal offer proved to be very popular. Keep an eye out for many more 188BET specials over the summer."
