    Free NHL Betting Tips


    The number of ice hockey games that take place each year is mind-boggling, and knowing what statistics to keep up with can be a real headache. 

    While there is a real wealth of statistics available for ice hockey available online, especially on the NHL’s official website, the ones you really want to pay attention to are a team’s current form, player’s current form, and a team’s penalty success rate. The latter of these is because the game often goes to penalties and most of the bookmakers will consider that a part of a match bet.

    How to bet on ice hockey


    While it may still not have established a foothold in Western Europe, ice hockey has firmly established itself as one of the most popular sports everywhere else around the world, with Northern America, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe all being huge markets for the sport.

    With a global audience of millions, it is no surprise that the sport has become a firm favourite among gamblers and bookmakers alike.

    The unrivalled speed and thrill of the game have made it an incredibly popular sport to place a bet on, with most punters sticking to traditional markets such as results, goal scorers and accumulators when it comes to betting on it.

    Where to bet on ice hockey

    When it comes to ice hockey, the first thing most people will think of is the NHL. The North American giant is one of the biggest sporting franchises in the world and has more global viewers than any other ice hockey division. 


    In terms of finding the best odds for the NHL, Bet365 and Paddy Power tend to offer the most competitive odds, while Ladbrokes and Paddy Power tend to offer the widest range of markets and the best odds on other international leagues.

    Ice hockey bonus codes


    Bonus codes are special offers made by bookmakers in order to attract new customers to use their service. 

    They often feature either a free bet or a matched stake bet of some sort in order to help punters get an excellent piece of value on their first bet or bets with the company. 

    Bookmakers will often have a range of different bonus codes specific to the different areas of their website, and they may also offer some that are more specific to certain sports. 

    While it is unlikely that any major bookmaker outside of North America will have a bonus code specific for ice hockey, it shouldn’t be ruled out during the Stanley Cup or during the Hockey World Championships, which both take place annually. 

    Regardless of this, most sports betting bonus codes can be used with any sport, so you can just adapt them to suit your needs. 

    We here at Bonus Bets aim to keep all of our readers up to date with all of the latest bonus codes from all of our trusted bookmakers.
