Latest bookie offers, betting promos & Christmas specials

TIS the season to be jolly.

The Christmas holidays are always a special time for sports fans, and this year is no different.

Let’s have a sneak peek at some of the goodies under the tree at Australia’s best online bookmakers.

Ashes and Big Bash bonus offers

Could we have asked for a more enthralling start to the Big Bash League?

Several bookies have weekly BBL specials in play for the rest of December:

• Early payouts at Sportsbet if your top team batsman pick hits 50 or more
• Collect for the win at Ladbrokes if your team scores 170 or more
• Up to $50 back at CrownBet if your top runscorer pick scores 30 or more

If your head-to-head bet wins, CrownBet will give you $2 in bonus bets for every six your team hits.

Meanwhile, William Hill is serving up double rewards points for all Big Bash bets over the weekend.

And if you back either team to win the Boxing Day Test, Hills will repay your stake up to $50 in bonus bets if your team loses inside four days.

A-League and EPL soccer specials

From now until December 31, Sportsbet is giving away extra Power Plays for first goalscorer bets on all A-League and Premier League matches.

Also, if you have a win on the head-to-head market for Everton vs. Chelsea this Saturday, the bookie will give you a $5 bonus for every goal your team scores.

Ladbrokes is running Footy Freaks doubles for all A-League matches this week, as well as boosted odds on correct score and first goalscorer markets for EPL games.
