In the meantime, if the Cheltenham Festival and Grand National were anything to go by, all bookies try and make a huge splash and are worth checking out.

Details of their current free bet offers are below

Royal Ascot Money Back Specials

It is likely that at least a few online bookmakers will be offering a money back special for Royal Ascot.

Be aware that money back or cash back often means the return of your stake in the form of a free bet rather than actual cash. Although the first example below is a REAL CASH BACK Offer

How do money back specials work at Royal Ascot?

They can be set up in several ways.

Money Back if Your Pick Refuses to Run

BetVictor have an excellent promotion that covers you in the form of a cash back offer if the horse you have placed a win bet on refuses to come out of the stalls at the start of the race. Details below

Money back if your selection finishes second to the SP favourite. 

An example of this would be the Betway ITV Racing offer where if you place a win bet on any horse in a race featured on ITV and your pick finishes second, Betway will refund your bet, up to a determined amount as a free bet.

Enhanced Odds for Royal Ascot

An incentive provided by bookmakers to open a new betting account with them has recently been offering enhanced odds on horse racing and in particular certain fancied runners in big races.

Royal Ascot will be no exception.

As the Group 1 and feature race line-ups, as well as jockey bookings, are confirmed, expect to see lots of Enhanced Odds offers for Royal Ascot appear from various online bookmakers.

As they do, we will publish then just below for you to choose which suits you best.

Enhanced Odds being offered on a runner you already want to bet on at Royal Ascot can provide you with an extra bit of value. Whilst the offer may be only available to limited stakes, it is something you can take advantage of, simply by signing up and using the new bookmaker to you.

Who is Paying Extra Places at Royal Ascot?

At most big horse racing festivals some bookmakers will offer to pay out extra places from the normal place terms on the bigger races with more numerous runners.

Here is a list of which bookmakers paid extra places at Royal Ascot in the Ante Post markets.

This extra places list will surely expand as we get closer to the royal ascot dates, so do come back and check.

Betway normally has a couple of promotions around ITV Racing.  They tend to focus on money-back offers and a competition type offer. 

There is nothing worse than being caught on the line or losing in a photo finish at Royal Ascot but with these kind of offers there can be compensation.

Run For Your Money

There can be nothing worse than studying the form, working out the chances of each runner, and finally coming down with a dead cert bet only for it to refuse to come out of the starting stalls.

It has happened to most punters over the years and it stinks!

Thankfully some bookmakers give us our money back when a horse refuses to race.

Ante Post Betting for Royal Ascot

Any respectable bookie will be offering ante-post odds on Royal Ascot weeks in advance of the beginning of Royal Ascot. 

Those odds will continue to be available until the final declarations are made 48 hours before races are due to take place. 

Then after the final declarations, odds on those races will continue to be available, now in a non-runner no bet capacity.

For the races that don't have early declarations, such as many of the 2-year-old races and also the handicaps outside of the prestige handicaps (the Royal Hunt Cup and the Wokingham Stakes) you are unlikely to see any odds until the 5-day declarations are in.

At that point, bookies can still be slow to price some races up as ante-post markets. 

One of the best bookies for being quick to act are Paddy Power. In recent years they have been the first to price up some of the big field handicaps such as the Britannia Stakes.

If there are no early prices as soon as the final declarations are in then it is bet365 who are likely to be first to price them up. 

Ahead of major race days, bet365 will usually release their odds at around 1pm the day before racing. 

So if you haven't been able to find any early odds then check out bet365 the day before the bets you want are due to run at Royal Ascot.
