List of All Betting Sites in France

Quite possibly France’s best sign up bonus, Unibet refunds your first bet between €5 and €100 in free bets if it loses. Then they give you an additional €20 cash refund if your first horse racing bet settles as a loss plus they match your first deposit up to €250 in poker free bets and throw in 2 free poker tournament tickets.

Even if it’s a lot to keep track of we certainly aren’t left wanting more bonus money so we reckon that Unibet’s bonus is definitely worth claiming, whether you plan on using them long-term or not.

Winamax recently updated their welcome bonus to €100 first bet refund in cash + an additional €250 in bonuses to be earned by playing poker. It’s a welcomed update, as it’s one of the few refund offers available in cash opposed to free bets. New customers who deposit €10+, wager €10+, and lose their first bet will be receive a 100% refund up to €100 in withdrawal-able cash. It’s a great offer that we recommend taking, but the poker bonus is a different story.

The terms surrounding the additional €250 in bonuses are convoluted to say the least. To unlock the bonus, you need to accumulate what Winamax calls “miles”. Miles can be earned in poker tournaments, cash games, and by betting on sports. But for this bonus, you need to accumulate miles only by playing poker.

• Poker Tournaments: 4 miles per €1 of rake
• Poker Cash Games: 3 miles per €1 of rake
• 30 Miles = €1 in bonus

Miles are paid out at a rate of 10% of your initial deposit. So, if you made a first deposit of €100, you need to accumulate 300 miles to receive a €10 bonus, 600 miles for an additional €10, and so on. Using this example, you will need to accumulate 7,500 miles to claim the bonus in full.

Overall the cash back bonus is a no brainer. The poker bonus is a nice addition but we don’t recommend chasing it.

PMU has one of France’s best welcome bonuses – a cash refund if your first bet between €10 and €100 loses. Your first bet needs to be a single bet and your refund will be paid out in two parts, 25% within 10 days of your bet losing and the remaining 75% within 10 days of account verification.

Most French sign up bonuses are paid out in free bets, so having a withdrawable cash refund really makes this bonus risk-free and unique.

Another top bonus but with tougher conditions, Betsson gives you 100% of your first deposit between €10 and €100 in bonus cash. Then they also throw in an extra €10 no deposit bonus when you use the promo code VERIF10 after ID verification.

Note that all of your bonus money must be wagered 3 times on bets with at least one selection at minimum odds of 2.00 or higher, so if you get the maximum €110 in bonus money you’ll need to place bets worth at least €330 before you can withdraw your deposit and bonus money.

NetBet’s welcome bonus is quite weak compared to other French sign up bonuses. You’ll get your first bet refunded if it loses up to €50 as two free bets (max €25 each). Your first free bet will be awarded after your first bet settles and the second after successful ID verification.

NetBet also refunds up to 10% of your cumulative losses after 30 days up to €50 which is again awarded as two free bets (max €25 each). Overall, this bonus is worth claiming but is one of the least valuable in France given you have to lose so much to take advantage of it.

France’s biggest bookmaker has recently updated their welcome bonus to a 3 part offer: €100 for sports betting, €100 for horse racing bets, and a €250 poker bonus.

The €100 sports bonus is as standard as they come. New customers can have their first bet refunded up to €100 if it results in a loss. The refund comes in the form of free bets that need to be wagered just one time to become withdrawal-able cash. Winnings from free bets exclude the amount staked.

The horse racing bets and poker bonus can be earned by wagering within each category. The restrictions a tough. It’s a nice add on, but not a ton of value here unless you’re interested in these types of bets.

The offer definitely looks best at first glance and slowly worsens the more you read. Still, the €100 bet refund is a decent enough offer.

Bwin reduced their previous welcome bonus of up to €200 with the basic, boring €100 bet refund we see from most French bookmakers. Still, its a decent offer that comes with a lot of flexibility. The main caveat is that your free bet refund must be used in one go. Otherwise, this welcome bonus is as straightforward as they come.

Betclic offers a solid 100% refund if your first bet (singles only) loses. Your first bet needs to be between €10 and €100 and your refund is paid out in free bets.

There’s not much else to say about this welcome offer other than we appreciate that the full refund is paid out all at once which makes this offer even more attractive.

OlyBet has the standard bet refund welcome offer for losing bets up to €50 plus a nice extra €50 in free bets you can earn by wagering. The terms differ a bit compared to some other bookies, which isn’t a bad thing.

The initial €50 in free bets are only awarded for lost bets. But you do not need to wager €50 in one bet, nor do you have to lose your first bet to receive the bonus. For example if your first wager is €20 and results in a win, the offer will not be triggered. Additionally, you can wager and lose a €20 bet, receive a €20 free bet, and still be eligible to claim the remainder €30 in free bets. The flexibility is nice, and with the offer being active for 60 days, this should be an easy bonus to receive.

The additional €50 is activated after you receive the first €50 in free bets. In order to receive this bonus you’ll need to wager €100 per week with minimum odds of 1.50. Each week you wager €100 or more, you’ll receive a €10 free bet, up to a total of 5x€10 free bets. It’s not an offer worth chasing, but still a nice bonus if you decide to keep playing at Olybet.

Overall the first part of this bonus is a great offer, and make Olybet worth a go. Anything else is a cherry on top.

Vbet will refund 100% of your first bet if it loses between €1 and €100 provided that it’s placed at a minimum odds of 1.10 or higher. 20% of your free bets are credited within 24 hours of your first bet settling while the remaining 80% are credited after account verification.

This offer is pretty standard although much of your bonus is withheld until after your account is verified which can be a bit frustrating.

Feelingbet’s welcome bonus in France is a little more complicated than most. First, you’ll get up to €50 refunded as two free bets if your first bet loses. 20% of your stake (eg. max €10) will be refunded when the first bet settles as loss while the remaining 80% (eg. max €40) will be refunded after you have completed your ID verification.

Each month thereafter you will need to contact support to receive up to €50 in free bets. €5 of free bets will be awarded each month for every €100 wagered on accumulator bets with at least 4 selections. You’ll get free bets based-on how much you wager with a €5 free bet being awarded when €100-€199 is wagered up to a €50 free bet when €1000+ is wagered.

This sign up bonus is okay if you plan on betting a lot but otherwise, there are many simpler and more valuable bonuses to claim in France.

GenyBet doesn’t follow other bookies and offers a unique, albeit, less-valuable bonus than most other French betting sites. You’ll be awarded up to €20 in free bet refunds if your first live bet settles as a loss.

After that, 10% of your sports betting losses will be refunded up to €15 in the first 30 days, and again up to €15 between 31 and 60 days, after account verification. Your first deposit will also be doubled up to €20 in horse racing free bets, and you’ll get €10 in no deposit horse racing free bets after your account is verified. Finally, up to €170 in horse racing free bet refunds will be awarded in 15 day increments equaling 10% of your total losses.

All-in-all GenyBet has a better welcome bonus if you plan on betting on racing but it still requires large losses to claim most of it and so is not a bonus we would recommend to many punters.

Pokerstars Sports has a simple 100% bet refund offer if your first bet between €1 and €100 loses. Your first bet will need to be placed at minimum odds of 1.50 and then if it loses you get 50% of the value of your first bet in free bets immediately followed by the remaining 50% after your fifth bet settles.

Thus Pokerstars Sports requires a slightly bigger investment from you to get your full welcome bonus although your subsequent bets can be low-stakes wagers if you wish. So, we’re not too disappointed by this condition, we’d rather just not have to lose our first bet to receive a bonus.
