Betfred Free Bets and Review

BetFusion is a new betting site owned by DirectBE LTD, established in 2024. Although it is a UK-based platform, the sportsbook is also available in Ireland. With a broad selection of sports, many payment method options, and 24/7 customer support, BetFusion has the potential to become a big success.

The website and mobile app look standard at first site, but what are the hidden treasures that new Irish punters should look out for?

Pros:

• Over 30 sports including Gaelic football and hurling
• Irish welcome bonus worth €20 in free bets
• Combo bet boosts up to 77%
• Cash out on football, tennis, cricket, volleyball, and basketball
• Sports betting app

Cons:

• Poor range of unique sports betting promotions
• Outdated website

Free Bet Offer for Irish Customers

You can’t miss the BetFusion welcome bonus plastered across the website: bet €20 and get €20 in free bets.

• Register with BetFusion by clicking JOIN
• Enter your email address and then choose a username and password
• Complete the registration form
• Choose the sports welcome bonus
• Deposit a minimum of €20
• Place a bet with odds of Evens 2.00 or more on any sport

Once the qualifying bet is settled, you will receive:

• One €10 free bet with minimum odds of 1.80
• Two €5 free bet builders with minimum odds of 3.00

Unfortunately, the winnings of your free bets are limited. With the free bet the maximum you can earn is €60, and the maximum for each free bet builder is €30. This is not uncommon for betting sites, but the values are much lower than usual.

Sports Covered

A big positive of BetFusion is that the comprehensive sportsbook has over 30 sports on it, so there is a reason to join no matter your interests. The sports page is quite overwhelming, but we have it down:

Traditional sports you will find at BetFusion include football, horse racing tennis, darts, basketball, ice hockey, rugby, cricket, and MMA. Cash out is available next to all bets with a green dollar symbol next to them, and there are also enhanced odds when you see crossed-out odds with new ones next to them.

Football alone offered more than 1,300 events, many of which were international clubs like the Champions League, World Cup, Conference League, and Copa Sudamericana. Furthermore, the match specials have competitive odds for highly-awaited games, especially those in the Premier League.

Horse racing is also common at BetFusion, with coverage over competitions in Ireland, the UK, other countries in Europe, and even Australia.

A noteworthy mention is the selection of GAA games, such as:

• Hurling: Leinster Hurling Championship, Munster Hurling Championship, All Ireland Hurling Championship
• Gaelic Football: All Ireland Football Championship

Unexpectedly, tennis is very popular at BetFusion. ATP betting in particular is lucrative because many events offer early cash out and price boosts. You can already begin wagering on Grand Slam 2025 tournaments: US Open, Wimbledon, French Open, and Australian Open. Also, there is generalized Grand Slam betting where you can place bets on how many titles players like Alcaraz, Medvedev, and Ruud will win (zero, one, two, three, etc.)

There is no shortage of niche sports at Betfusion. Winter sports like alpine, biathlon, cross-country, and ski jumping can all be found in the sportsbook, as well as pesapallo, futsal, politics, and awards. Granted, these events have fewer betting markets and competitions, but this is not the fault of the bookmaker.

We were also impressed with the variety of e-sports at BetFusion:

• Starcraft 1
• Valorant
• Warcraft 3
• Overwatch
• Counterstrike
• Dota 2
• League of Legends
• Call of Duty

Why Choose BetFusion

BetFusion customers can use the following features to increase their payouts and make the betting experience more seamless.

• Combo Bet Boosts

Punters have the chance to boost their combo bets by 77% when taking part in this promotion. To utilize this bonus, all you have to do is place a pre-match bet with odds of 1.50 or greater on every leg. At least four legs must be added to the bet for it to be eligible, and the more selections you add the higher the bonus.

Four selections boost your winnings by 4%.

Five selections boost your winnings by 7%.

Six selections boost your winnings by 10%.

Seven selections boost your winnings by 15%.

Eight selections boost your winnings by 20%.

Nine selections boost your winnings by 25%.

Ten selections boost your winnings by 30%.

Eleven selections boost your winnings by 35%.

Twelve selections boost your winnings by 40%.

Thirteen selections boost your winnings by 45%.

Fourteen selections boost your winnings by 50%.

Fifteen selections boost your winnings by 77%- this is the cap.

What’s more, the combo bet boost promotion can be claimed on all sports, not just football. This is an extremely rare and profitable bonus!

• Enhanced Odds

There are three main types of rewards at BetFusion: the welcome bonus, cash out, and enhanced odds.

Enhanced odds, or price boosts, are promotions on random bets throughout the BetFusion website. You can’t predict which sports or competitions they will appear next to, which makes it all the more fun. When a rocket ship icon appears next to a bet, this means that the odds have been boosted.

For example, you may see that a football match between Man City and Fulham has enhanced odds for Man City to win, from 34/5 to 9/1.

With the original odds and a €10 stake, you would make a profit of €68. With the enhanced odds, you make a profit of  €90. Therefore, your payout is €22 more without any extra effort.

• Cash Out

Under the promotions page, you will find cash out. Whilst this is not strictly a promotion, it is a feature that makes your wager eligible for closure. You can guarantee a payout without your bet necessarily being fulfilled.

BetFusion lets you “take control of your bet” whether it is a single or multiple.

Place a bet like you normally would, and then track it when the event is live. You can click CASH OUT if the feature is available, end the bet, and receive your payout. To help you out, BetFusion adds a green dollar icon next to all bets that you can claim this on so that you know in advance.

• Bet Builder Function

You can place bet builder bets on Australian Rules Football, American Football, Rugby League, Rugby Union, baseball, basketball, cricket, ice hockey, tennis, and football. Just click the bet builder button and add all of the selections (on the same event) to your bet builder. Then, confirm your bet and it will be moved to your betslip. Bet builders can be tedious if they are only available on one sport, or with few markets, but BetFusion has a great sportsbook and offers plenty of markets to include in your wager.

• BetFusion Mobile App

BetFusion can be downloaded from the App Store and has a 4.2 out of 5-star rating. It is also in the Top 100 chart for sports. On the app, you can still claim the welcome bonus and price boosts, create bet builders, use the live tracker to monitor your bets, cash out on selected bets, and take advantage of 24/7 customer support. While the browser version of BetFusion is manageable, using the app lets you enable notifications and keep all betting history in the same place.

BetFusion Summary

BetFusion is still a new betting site in the Irish market and has a way to go before it is perfect. All of the main features we look for in the bookmaker are there: a well-developed website, a useful mobile app, a good welcome bonus and plenty of bonuses, many payment methods, quick processing times, live scores, and reachable customer support. There are also some downsides, such as a lack of live streaming, an outdated website, and no loyalty program for sports users. BetFusion has a good framework and the potential to be a top betting site, but at the moment nothing stands out to make it memorable or superior.
