Claim £50 when you bet £10 (January 2026)

THE New Year celebrations may be over, but the sporting calendar is showing no signs of slowing down. There has never been a better time to boost your betting balance with the latest Betfred promo code.

With the Premier League title race heating up and the Carabao Cup reaching the semi-final stage this week, the action is coming thick and fast. To celebrate the start of 2026, Betfred is giving new customers the chance to unlock a massive £50 welcome bonus—one of the biggest offers currently on the market.

Whether you are predicting a winner on Monday Night Football or backing a team to reach Wembley, here is how to use the code BETFRED50 to turn a £10 deposit into £50 in bonuses today.

What is the Betfred promo code?

The Betfred promo code for January 2026 is BETFRED50.

New customers who register via the following link will have this code automatically applied. By signing up and betting just £10, you will unlock £50 in Free Bets.

Why use it?

Because this is currently one of the highest-value returns on the market. While many bookmakers offer a “Bet £10, Get £30” deal (a 300% return), Betfred has boosted this to a 500% return.

If you deposit and bet £10, you will receive £50 in bonuses split between sports markets and accumulators.

How to claim the Betfred sign up offer

It takes just a few minutes to secure your £50. Follow these steps to ensure you qualify:

1. Click here to register a new account at Betfred.
2. The promo code BETFRED50 should be automatically applied (if asked, enter it in the promo code box).
3. Crucial Step: Make a deposit of £10 or more.
   • Tip: You MUST use a debit card. Deposits made via Prepaid Visa/Mastercard or e-Wallets (like PayPal/Skrill) will NOT qualify.
4. Place a bet of £10+ on any Sportsbook market at odds of Evens (2.0) or greater.
5. Ensure your bet settles within 7 days of registering.
6. Within 10 hours of your bet settling, your £50 in Free Bets will be credited to your account.

How does the Betfred offer work?

Unlike some offers that give you one lump sum, Betfred splits your £50 bonus to give you more ways to win.

Deposit £10 > Bet £10 > Get £50 in Free Bets.

Here is exactly how the £50 is broken down:

• 3 x £10 Free Bets to use on any sportsbook markets.
• 2 x £10 Free Bets to use on accumulators (4+ selections).

This mix is perfect for the festive schedule, allowing you to place singles on the big matches and build accas for the busy Saturday 3pm kick-offs.

What can I bet on this week (12 Jan – 18 Jan)?

You have joined at the perfect time. We are right in the middle of a massive week of cup drama and derby days.

Once your £50 bonus is active, here is what you can look forward to:

• Carabao Cup Semi-Final (Wed): The road to Wembley continues tomorrow night as Chelsea host Arsenal (20:00) in a blockbuster London derby. With a place in the final at stake, expect a tense, high-stakes affair at Stamford Bridge.
• AFCON Semi-Finals (Wed): The tournament in Morocco reaches the final four. The standout tie sees a repeat of the 2021 final as Senegal take on Egypt. Use your free bets to back the winner or predict who makes Sunday’s showpiece event.
• The Manchester Derby (Sat): The Premier League returns with a bang this weekend as Manchester United host Manchester City (12:30) at Old Trafford. It’s the ultimate test for United’s interim management against the reigning champions. This is the ideal time to use your £10 Sports Free Bet.
• AFCON Final (Sun): The new King of Africa will be crowned this Sunday in Rabat. Whether it is a shock underdog story or a battle of the heavyweights, the final is always a spectacle. Check the “Fred’s Pushes” tab on the day for boosted odds on the goalscorer markets.

Why join Betfred?

Betfred was founded by Fred Done in 1967 and is known in the industry as the “Bonus King.” They have a reputation for offering value back to punters that other bookies simply don’t match.

Here are three reasons they are a top pick for UK bettors:

1. Acca Flex

Betfred has revolutionised accumulator betting. With Acca Flex, you get the best of both worlds:

• Cash Bonus: If your 5+ leg Football Acca wins, you get a CASH bonus on top of your winnings (up to 100% for 20 legs).
• Cash Insurance: If just one leg lets you down, you get your stake back in CASH (not free bets) up to £10.

2. Double Delight & Hat-Trick Heaven

This is a legendary football promotion. If you back a player to score the first goal and they score, you win.

• If they score a second, Betfred doubles your odds.
• If they score a third, Betfred triples your odds. This applies to selected matches and turns a standard goalscorer bet into a massive potential payout.

3. Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG)

Betfred is synonymous with Horse Racing. If you take a price on a horse (e.g., 3/1) and the Starting Price (SP) is bigger (e.g., 5/1), Betfred will pay you out at the bigger odds. This applies to UK and Irish racing, ensuring you never miss out on value.

Betfred’s ongoing promotions for existing customers

The welcome bonus gets you in the door, but the existing customer offers keep you there.

Greyhounds Free Bet Club – If you enjoy the dogs, place 3 x £10 bets on Greyhound races on specified days, and Betfred will give you a £10 free bet.

Pick Your Punt – Can’t find the bet you want? Use the #PickYourPunt tool to combine markets (like Corners, Cards, and Goals) into one single price. Betfred often boosts the price of these custom bets for big televised games.

The verdict

If you are looking for maximum value from a £10 deposit, Betfred is currently beating the competition. The standard market offer is £30, but Betfred is giving you £50.

Combined with the Merry Million Giveaway running this month, it is the best time of the year to sign up.
