Finally, the football season is back and what a long summer it has been without a major tournament to keep us busy. And with a whole host of new action on the pitch comes a glorious amount of betting opportunities. Unfortunately this also means that those pesky little acca busters are back. We all know how annoying it is when just one team lets you bet down, though thankfully, Paddy Power have climbed on board with acca insurance.

Now, if just one leg of your win-draw-win accumulator totalling five teams or more on UK and top European Leagues, lets you down, you will receive your money back as a free bet. This promotion runs from the 4^th of August this year till the 31^st of May 2018.

Leagues and competitions valid in conjunction with this offer applies to English Premier League, Championship, League One and Two, FA Cup, League Cup, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, SPL, Scottish Championship, Scottish League One and Two, Scottish Cup, Scottish League Cup, Champions League, Europa League, Senior international markets for friendlies and World Cup qualifiers.

The minimum odds per leg of your accumulator must be 1/5 in order to qualify for acca insurance. If any of the matches selected as part of your qualifying acca bet are postponed or abandoned, leaving you with less than five matches, unfortunately, you are not eligible for a refund. The maximum free bet credited per customer is £50 and the free bet stake will not be included in any subsequent winnings.

Bets with the same selections and number of legs as the first qualifying bet will not count towards the acca insurance offer and the offer applies to straight pre-match win-draw-win accumulators in 90 minutes only. Bets placed online via browser or the app, phone or text are valid, however, those placed in store or not.

If you don’t risk letting your bet run and end up cashing it out, you will not qualify for the free bet refund, though hopefully you’ve got a tasty win with your cash out regardless! Should you be refunded, this will be credited as a free bet on football and be valid for up to a week so you can look to put that stake to good use in no time!

Customers should be reminded that bets placed using free bets do not qualify for the offer.

If you’re not already a customer, join up with Paddy Power and receive £30 worth of free bets.
