After an entertaining opening day of the Cheltenham Festival, the action continues on Wednesday with the Queen Mother Champion Chase the feature race.

There are three distinct Sky Bet Cheltenham Festival offers for new customers and all of them can be accessed via the link below.

You can unlock £30 in free bets by depositing £5 and placing a bet of just 5p; earn £40 in free bets by placing a £10 bet; or £30 in free bets plus 30 free spins by placing a £10 bet.

Day 2 looks to be another thriller

The second day of the Cheltenham Festival looks like another feast of racing with the Queen Mother Champion Chase at 3.30pm the feature event.

This event often rivals the Gold Cup as the highlight of the week and it promises to be another classic this year with Edwardstone and Energumene the two favourites in the betting.

Away from the feature race, the Coral Cup takes place just before at 2.50pm and the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle begins the action at 1.30pm.

If you are looking for a great Cheltenham new customer offer, Sky Bet has you covered with up to £40 of free bets to use on any of the seven races on Day 2.

Is this the best Cheltenham Festival free bets offer?

If you are a new customer, Sky Bet’s abundance of welcome offers means there should be something for you.

For those who are not keen to deposit and bet too much to earn free bets, you are unlikely to find a better offer than £30 of free bets from just a 5p bet and £5 deposit.

You can also unlock £40 of free horse racing bets from a £10 deposit – a good amount of free bets for those looking to maximise their purse.

Finally, if you are looking for a good offer that combines free bets to use on Cheltenham and free spins, you can get 30 free spins as well as £30 in free bets.

For the variety in new customer offers, Sky Bet is unlikely to be beaten by its competitors and there should be plenty of choice for those looking to bet on Cheltenham.

If you already have a Sky Bet account and are unable to make use of this offer, there are a number of other new customer deals on the market.
