The world of sports, like all other industries, is still recovering from the effects of Covid-19. Football is not yet fully back, with restrictions still in place as federations cope with the coronavirus challenge. While the game has suffered on the pitch, there has been a massive uptake in gaming off it, with various bookmakers coming up with incentives to not only hold on to existing players but also bring in new users.

Betting companies took a hit in the earlier weeks and months of the lockdowns and it called for creativity to stay in business. Among the incentives floated were sign up offers, free bets or welcome bonuses in various forms. Most bookmakers offer this in form of free bets that are activated right upon registration and placing a first bet. 

888Sport for example, has thrived during this period with such offers. The bookmaker has a sign up offer of up to $30, which is activated upon depositing a minimum $10 using the code 30FB and placing a bet on the site of at least $10. It is worth noting though, that free bets offered here expire after seven days. 

This is just one of the bookmakers analyzed on Wincomparator among the best betting sign up offers. Bet365 doesn’t only offer competitive bets, it also has a welcome offer tailored for new customers. The bookmaker offers up to $100 in bet credits and a user only needs to sign up and deposit a minimum of $5 then the company matches the deposit in bet credits when the user stakes. 

Another exciting offer is found at 1Xbet. This bookmaker offers up to $130 in bonuses. As a new user, one only has to make a deposit of between $1 and $130 with a matching bonus offered to be spent within 30 days. 

The 1XBet offer is among the highest for new users in the gaming industry but 22Bet also have a great offer for new customers. Here, a welcome bonus is offered that 100% matches the value of the first deposit placed, up to the value of $50. The 22Bet bonus offers a user the opportunity to win as much as $122 and no promo code is needed to activate the same.

Unibet also have a sweet offer; $20 welcome offer in form of free bets is available for new users. It is activated upon placing a qualifying bet with odds of at least 1.4 or 2/5 for the fractional side. The same amount is also offered as a casino bonus, and here a user is required to make an initial deposit of at least $10.

At Betsson, a welcome offer of up to 100% is available for new users upon depositing. From a deposit of $75 a user gets $150 to place stakes with. It is however advisable to note that the bonus amounts expire after 30 days and the user needs to meet the wagering requirements before then.
