The best Grand National betting offers for 2025
The Grand National is an iconic, one-of-a-kind race that has captivated the nation for over 150 years.
As the largest betting event in the UK, it attracts millions of experienced and amateur bettors, drawn to place bets on a race that promises more excitement and unpredictability than any other.
Next year, the 4m 2½f steeplechase at Aintree will unfold for the 177th time, and in this article, we will look at the wealth of betting options provided by the best bookmakers in the UK.
The Grand National, a race steeped in history that was first run in 1839, captures the imagination of the British public like few other sporting spectacles.
As the UK’s biggest betting event, it entices both seasoned and novice bettors with thrills and uncertainty that no other race can match.
- bet365 – Competitive odds
- Paddy Power – Brilliant existing customer offers
- William Hill – Very user-friendly
- Tote – Pool betting experts
- Betway – Great customer service
- BetUK – Terrific value
Grand National betting offers: Why don’t all the top betting sites have them?
With the 2024 Grand National now in the rearview mirror attention has turned away from Aintree and therefore UK bookmakers do not have their Grand National-specific betting offers live at the moment.

How to use your Grand National free bets and betting offers
Once you have successfully signed up and registered with a new bookie and had some free bets credited to your account, the next step is to strategise their use.
The 2024 Grand National winner I Am Maximus is the current ante-post favourite to make it back-to-back wins while 2023 winner Corach Rambler is next in the betting after a disappointing performance this year.
Alternatively, you might consider dispersing your free bets across some of the less-favoured contenders, who have more enticing odds and are deemed worthy of an each-way punt.
Determining whether to support your selection each-way stands as a significant decision in itself. Should you opt for the former strategy, backing one of the favourites each-way might not yield significant returns.
Seeking expert guidance? Look no further than our Grand National hub, your go-to destination for outstanding Aintree tipping content as the excitement mounts for Britain’s premier horse race.
Types of Grand National betting offers and free bets
Grand National betting offers for 2025: Free bets
Similar to the alluring new customer promotions that are available all year round, the most coveted offers for the Grand National often centre on free bets.
While these offers may grab your attention, it’s important to understand that you typically need to deposit or wager real money with a bookmaker to unlock any free bets on offer. Therefore, it’s essential to have a clear grasp of the terms and conditions associated with these offers.
Upon fulfilling all the necessary requirements, you will receive free bets that ideally match or even exceed the value of your initial deposit. This presents an exciting opportunity for the Grand National, as you now have the freedom to decide how to best utilise your free bets.
In addition to their Grand National 2025 betting offers, bookmakers will also continue to promote sign-up promotions as the big race draws closer. Keep an eye out for these additional opportunities to enhance your betting experience.
Grand National betting offers for 2025: Enhanced odds
As the Grand National is a one-off event, bookmakers will entice new customers by offering some big enhanced odds on some of the favourites, which can give you a hefty amount of free bets.
In 2025, this could be enhanced odds on 2024 winner I Am Maximus to repeat the trick.
If you end up winning, you will not be paid out in cash at these enhanced odds. Instead, you will be limited to a wager that will usually range between £1 and £5 that is then paid out at the starting price (SP).
The winnings from the boosted odds are then paid out as free bets with specific restrictions.
Grand National betting offers for 2025: No-lose bets
While free bets and enhanced odds are expected to be the most common types of Grand National betting offers, certain bookmakers will also offer no-lose bets on the big race.
With this type of offer, you can place a bet on a horse (up to a specified amount) and if it doesn't win, you will receive your stake back in full as cash. If the horse does win, the winnings will be credited to your account.
Once the refund is deposited into your account, you are free to withdraw it to your bank account or use it for another bet.
A variation of this offer may involve your stake being returned as a free bet rather than as cash. In this case, you won’t be able to withdraw the free bet to your bank account and your only option will be to use it for another bet.
It’s important to note that specific terms and conditions, such as time limits and odds requirements, will accompany these free bets. Therefore, it’s essential to carefully review the terms and conditions of the particular Grand National betting offer you intend to use.
Grand National betting offers for 2025: Existing customers
Bookmakers will be focused on enticing new customers with the Grand National but that is not to say there are no Grand National existing customer offers.
Grand National betting offers for 2025: ITV Racing
All the biggest and best racing is shown live via ITV Racing, and the Grand National is no different. Bookmakers will provide some brilliant horse racing betting offers that match with every broadcast. The best of these ITV Racing offers come from bet365 and its great price promise.
Where to watch the 2024 Grand National live: TV channel and streaming.
bet365 ITV Racing Price Promise
For each race shown live via ITV, including the Grand National, bet365 will not be beaten on starting price by Ladbrokes, William Hill, Paddy Power, Sky Bet or BoyleSports. This means you will not be able to find better odds from those bookmakers than the one offered by bet365.
Applies to bets placed on win and each-way fixed-odds markets from 10am on the day of the race up to 15 minutes before the scheduled “off” time for each ITV race. Prices matched against selected bookmakers. Bet restrictions and T&Cs apply.
Grand National 2025 betting offers: Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG)
If you are looking to place your Grand National bets today, it is vital that you place them with a bookmaker that has Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG).
It is a promotion that runs all year round and comes in handy for the Grand National where a lot of money is staked on the race so the odds fluctuate in the build-up to the race.
BOG means that if you place a bet at odds that are worse than the eventual starting price (SP) you are paid out at the bigger odds. For example, say you backed I Am Maximus to win the 2024 Grand National at 6/1 on the morning but he drifted to 7/1, you would have been paid out at the SP.
While the vast majority of bookmakers listed here have a BOG, they each have specific terms and conditions and kick in at different times on the morning of the race, so we have listed the details below in our handy table.

Betfred | Yes – after 8am |

Grand National 2025 betting offers: Extra each-way places
The Grand National has the capacity for 34 runners but there may end up being slightly less than that on the day because of late drop-outs. It will be at least near capacity so this gives you a good opportunity to find some value in each-way bets.
Usually, for handicap races that are of a similar size to the Grand National, bookmakers will only pay out each-way bets for the first four past the post.
It is different for the Grand National as the bookmakers compete to attract punters looking for the very best value. It is not difficult to find bookmakers paying out for the first five and six. This may increase closer to the race so it is worth checking again.
We have produced a list that details what bookmakers are paying out the most Grand National places for this year’s race here and we will update it once again before the off if things change.
Grand National 2025 betting offers: Faller insurance
The Grand National field often experiences a number of fallers due to the difficulty of the race and because of how many horses run at Aintree.
A lot of bookmakers offer this great betting offer for the Grand National where they will give money back as cash or a free bet should your horse fall at any specific point of the race on April 12.
It’s a great option to take up, and means you don’t lose any money should your horse fall early on in the 2025 Grand National.
Closer to the race, the bookmakers will begin to confirm whether they are offering fallers insurance.

Paddy Power | TBC |
10bet | TBC |

Grand National 2025 betting offers: Non-runner, no-bet (NRNB) promotion
With changes to the field common even on the day of the Grand National, it is wise to bet with a bookmaker that is offering a non-runner, no-bet promotion.
This means that if the horse you have backed does not compete in the race, for whatever reason, you will receive your stake back as cash. If the bookmaker is not running this promotion, you will have lost your stake with no chance of winning it back.
Again, bookmakers will begin to confirm whether they are offering non-runner, no bet closer to the race. The big firms such as Betfred, bet365 and William Hill will open the market early while others will do so nearer to the race so it is worth checking back closer to the time.

The Grand National 2025
The Grand National is the most watched horse race in the UK and unsurprisingly it is one of the biggest betting events in the whole sporting world. It is for this reason that bookmakers will provide a huge range of Grand National betting offers.
National Hunt racing does not come any better than the Grand National and every aspect of the Aintree course is iconic with 34 horses tested over 30 spruce-covered fences and a mammoth distance of four miles, two furlongs and 74 yards.
In theory, each horse has the same chance of coming out on top because it is a handicap chase. This means you should be able to find double-figure odds on all the horses outside the frontrunners. For example, in 2022 Noble Yeats won the race at a massive starting price of 50/1.
With the attention that the National attracts, horses and jockeys can become icons with a win. In 2021, Rachael Blackmore won on Minella Times, the first female jockey to do so. Red Rum (1973 and 1974) and Tiger Roll (2018 and 2019), the only two horses to win back-to-back Grand Nationals since the Second World War, are household names.

- Date: Saturday April 12
- Time: 4pm
- TV channel: ITV
The 2024 race was won by I Am Maximus and he heads the ante-post market for the 2025 renewal at 16/1.

The five most iconic Grand National fences
Aintree’s Grand National course is famous for its 16 unique spruce-covered fences, several of which are so well known that even once-a-year punters can reel off their names. Because of the marathon distance of the race, 14 of the 16 are jumped twice.
Becher’s Brook – Fence 6 and 22
Named after 19th-century soldier and steeplechase jockey Captain Martin Becher, this was originally a fence set a yard in front of an 8ft-wide brook, with the ground on the landing side three feet lower than the take-off side. Modified for safety reasons over the years, the fence remains a formidable obstacle.
Foinavon – Fence 7 and 23
At 4ft 6in, this is one of the smallest fences in the race, but its name is a reminder of how tricky it can be. Foinavon won the 1967 National at 100/1 after a loose horse caused chaos at the 23rd fence, bringing most of the field to a complete halt. Foinavon, a backmarker ridden by 17-year-old John Buckingham, escaped the melee and, left 200 yards clear of the field, won the race by 20 lengths.
The Canal Turn – Fences 8 and 24
This obstacle is followed by a turn of almost 90 degrees so jockeys always look to jump it in at an angle that maintains as much of their momentum as possible. Were they to keep going straight rather than turn at this point they would end up in the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
Valentine’s Brook – Fences 9 and 25
The second of the brooks on the Aintree Grand National course, this one was named after Valentine, a runner in the 1840 race who was reported to have jumped the fence backwards. He attempted to refuse as he approached it, but his momentum caused him to turn on his way through the air.
The Chair – Fence 15
So called because a judge would sit here to record goings-on in the race, the name resonates still because the ground on the take-off side is six inches lower than on the landing, creating a step up that can be visualised as similar to the back of a chair. The tallest fence in the race at 5ft 2in.

Trends of past Grand National winners
There are a few trends and statistics from the previous Grand National winners we can see, including the age of the horse. Of the 24 winners from the year 2000 onwards, only one (Noble Yeats in 2022) has been a seven-year-old, six have been eight-year-olds, seven have been nine-year-olds, five have been 10-year-olds, four have been 11 and one was 12 when they won. Irish-trained horses have also dominated the race in recent years, winning five of the past seven runnings.
Normally, past winners and previously placed horses fare poorly on their return, but legendary Tiger Roll bucked this trend by winning in 2018 and 2019.
Noble Yeats had hoped to emulate that achievement in 2023 after his extraordinary triumph in 2022 but finished fourth behind Corach Rambler.
