A free bet is a stake the sportsbook pays for. If it wins you keep the profit, but the stake itself is not returned. These are the free-bet offers open to Canadians outside Ontario and Alberta, both ongoing and as part of a welcome.

Say you place a C$50 free bet on an NHL moneyline at 2.20 (+120). If it wins, you get C$60, the profit only. A cash bet of C$50 at the same price would pay C$110 back. That is why the best place for a free bet is a longer price: the gap between free and cash returns shrinks as the odds rise. Our free bets guide has the full table.
TonyBet's welcome free bet must go on a parlay of three or more legs at 1.5 each. CasinOK only counts three-leg parlays at 1.3 or longer toward its bet 3, get 1. Parlays multiply the book's margin with every leg, so the free bet earns its keep, but the qualifying bets cost more than they look. See parlays explained and price yours in the parlay calculator.
Other ways to bet with less risk: bet insurance. Back to betting bonuses.
Less than C$50 in cash. At odds of 2.0 a win pays C$50 profit; at 1.5 it pays C$25. On average, a free bet returns roughly its value times the chance of winning, minus the book's margin.
At longer odds, because the stake is not returned. A free bet at 3.0 keeps more of its value than one at 1.3, though it wins less often.
Yes: 7 days at LeoVegas, 14 at BET99 and TonyBet, 30 at bet365.
