Best betting strategies: Six habits that separate smart bettors from the rest

The current Ladbrokes welcome offer is a bet £5, get £30 in free bets promotion, a reduction on their previous bet £10, get £50 deal but still excellent value given the relatively small qualifying deposit required.

There is no Ladbrokes promo code required, as the welcome offer applies automatically at registration.

Bear in mind that free bets expire seven days after being credited, whilst stakes are not returned with free bet winnings.

Only debit card deposits count for the Ladbrokes new customer offer. Deposits via PayPal, Paysafe, Apple Pay, Google Pay or certain prepaid and debit cards do not qualify for the Ladbrokes welcome offer, although they can be used for future transactions.

Bettors will need to deposit a minimum of £5 and then wager £5 or more at odds of 1/2 or greater to unlock the £30 in free bets. The free bets are split into 6 x £5 tokens, with four available to spend on any sport (excluding virtual) and the other two reserved for bet builders.

The Ladbrokes welcome offer is similar to a bet £10, get £30 deal in terms of the size of the bonus, but it beats all those promotions but asking for only half of the usual qualifying deposit and bet.

Min odds 1/2; qualifying bet within 14 days; free bets valid 7 days; no Neteller, PayPal, Paysafe or Skrill

Debit card only; min odds 4.0 on 4+ leg bet builders and accas; 7-day expiry
