Melbourne Cup Betting Offers bet365

Melbourne Cup Betting Offers PointsBet
Although PointsBet still hasn’t announced its Melbourne Cup offer, you can get an early start and bet on Melbourne Cup right now from the website’s Futures section. Furthermore, if you are a new user, you might qualify to earn a bonus.
Finally, PointsBet currently has a Protest Payout offer that applies to every Australian Horse and Harness race. If you bet a win on any horse, and it does win but is relegated due to a protest, you will still be paid out as a winner (T&Cs apply. 18+. Only eligible to residents of QLD, VIC, NT and TAS). Note that although the offer is active at the time of writing, it currently does not extend to futures, so you will not be able to use it on Melbourne Cup bets. There is no information on whether it will still be available at the time of the Melbourne Cup.
Melbourne Cup Betting Offers Unibet
Unibet has recently launched a brand new racing platform. It promises daily odds boosts called Daily Uniboosts and Unibet Uplifts to qualifying customers (T&Cs apply). So far, there is limited info about which events will be eligible for the promotions so we cannot confirm that Melbourne cup bets will qualify. The operator refers customers to follow the Promotions page for any new information so we will make sure to keep a close eye on any future offers.
New customers can, of course, take advantage of the Unibet offers. Check the bookmaker’s site to see all the current offers and if you’re eligible for them. Any additional info on Melbourne Cup bonus bets and other related offers will be updated in the future.
Melbourne Cup Betting Offers Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes is another one of the operators we have big expectations from when it comes to the Melbourne Cup offer. However, we are still waiting for them to announce their offers.
When it comes to other racing offers, at the time of writing, Ladbrokes’ Hour of Power offers inflated odds on a select runner Monday to Friday. The offer starts at 11:00 am AEST and as its name suggests, lasts for one hour only. At this point, we cannot say whether the offer will still be available at the time of the Melbourne Cup. As with the other operators, we will make sure to update the list of Melbourne Cup betting offers as soon as it is made available.
