Alright, diving straight into this weekend’s rugby action, there’s some solid betting promotions worth checking out if you’re into rugby matches like I am. The Six Nations might be over, but the domestic leagues and international friendlies are heating up, and sportsbooks are rolling out offers that can give your bets a nice boost. I’ve been digging through the latest deals, focusing on ones that suit rugby betting, and here’s what caught my eye.
First up, Bet365 has a decent offer for this weekend’s Premiership matches. They’re running a bet boost for accumulators on rugby union games. If you place a 3+ leg acca on any Premiership or Top 14 matches, they’ll bump up your winnings by 10-20% depending on how many legs you add. I’m looking at combining Saracens vs. Bristol and Leicester vs. Sale for a decent payout. The odds are tight, but Saracens at home are usually a safe pick, and Leicester’s scrum has been dominant lately. Just make sure to check the minimum odds requirement, as it’s usually around 1.50 per selection.
William Hill’s got something interesting for new users betting on rugby. Their welcome offer gives you £30 in free bets after a £10 qualifying bet, and it works for any sport, including rugby union. I’d use this for the Harlequins vs. Exeter match. Harlequins have been inconsistent, but their backline is lethal when they click, and Exeter’s defense has shown cracks on the road. The free bets expire in 7 days, so you’ll need to act fast to use them on this weekend’s games. It’s not exclusive to rugby, but it’s flexible enough to make it work for our sport.
For those who like live betting, Paddy Power’s in-play offer is worth a look. They’re giving a £5 free in-play bet if you place a £10 pre-match bet on any rugby match this weekend. I’m planning to use this for the Munster vs. Connacht game in the United Rugby Championship. Munster’s lineout has been a weapon, and if they get early momentum, you can jump on live markets like next try scorer or total points. The catch is you need to opt-in before placing your pre-match bet, so don’t forget that step.
Lastly, Betway’s running a promotion that’s more about loyalty but still useful. If you bet £25 or more on rugby markets this week, you get a £5 free bet for the following week’s matches. It’s not massive, but it’s a nice way to keep your bankroll ticking over. I’m eyeing the Toulon vs. Racing 92 match for this one. Toulon’s home record is rock solid, and Racing’s discipline issues could lead to some penalty-heavy markets worth betting on.
A quick tip from my own betting: always double-check team news, especially for injuries to key forwards. Rugby’s physicality means a missing prop or flanker can shift the game’s flow, and odds don’t always adjust quickly enough. Also, with these promotions, read the terms—wagering requirements or market restrictions can trip you up. I’m no expert, just a guy who loves rugby and a cheeky bet, but these offers seem like a good way to add some value to this weekend’s matches. Anyone else got promotions they’re using for rugby bets? Or maybe some picks for these games?
