Additional citation research

The original definition and sourcing warnings are retained. These sources support only the claims identified below, not necessarily the full entry.

• Free bets and account restrictions in relation to sports betting

  Supports: Treats free bets as sports-betting promotions and addresses the significant conditions governing them.

• Gambling, betting and gaming: free bets and bonuses

  Supports: Explains that free-bet promotions may carry qualifying bets, wagering requirements, deadlines, and other significant conditions that must be disclosed.

Remaining evidence gap: Keeping winnings but not the stake is a common format, not a universal definition. The cited sources do not support almost always or the claim that free bets are among the most common promotional triggers.
