What's new
Everything that changed on FreeBetArena, newest first. Player reports are what drive most of this list — if something looks wrong, tell us and it lands here.
Your favourite sports first
- Tick your sports when you sign up, or later in your settings: on a day mixing several sports, yours open the listings, the calendar and the home page, even when they start last.
- Nothing is hidden: the other sports are still there, just after yours. A private league keeps the sports chosen by its creator.
Private leagues between friends
- Create a league, share its link, and compete against your friends only: each league has its own ranking over the week, the month or all time, and your predictions still count in the site ranking.
- A league can be limited to the sports you choose, up to three leagues per player and a hundred members each.
- A cross-league ranking compares the leagues by Arenas per member, so a small league can beat a big one.
- The invitation link of a league also acts as a referral link: the new player and you each earn 100 Arenas once he has been active three days and placed three predictions.
A shop with real brands, MMA bets, a filterable calendar
- The shop shows the brand and the amount of every gift card, with filters by brand and by amount, sorted from the smallest amount up.
- UFC and PFL cards are open to bets, with three markets per bout: winner, how it ends, and the round it ends in.
- The calendar can be filtered by sport, and the choice follows you through a bet and back to the calendar.
- A calendar day now lists every match of that day for the chosen sport, and not only the first twenty.
A month calendar, and erasing your own account
- New calendar of open bets, month by month, with the number of bets available on each day.
- You can erase your account yourself from your settings: your identity is deleted, your past bets stay anonymous in the site statistics.
- Every email is dressed in the colours of the site instead of the old white and green template.
One weekly recap instead of an email per bet
- Settled predictions are gathered in a single weekly recap, and the reminder emails that fired too often are gone.
- Tighter security on the referral programme and on the pages allowed to load external content.
Cleaner pages, Belgium, and seasons on competitions
- Stray technical text that appeared on some match and competition pages is gone.
- A match card now shows the icon of its own sport instead of a football for every sport.
- "Half-time" is displayed in English on the English site.
- New entry page for players in Belgium, and competition pages now name their season, such as "Ligue 1 2026-27".
English pages, new guides, a real bet history
- The English About, Terms, Legal notice and Privacy pages are now actually in English.
- New pages: who runs FreeBetArena, our data and method, how rewards work, and responsible gaming.
- A pillar guide on free sports betting, five practical guides and a FAQ, in French and in English.
- Every match and competition page has its own text: recent form, past meetings, and how the community predicted it.
- One page per sport instead of a filter, French URLs, and a sitemap covering both languages.
- Simpler dashboard, and a bet history you can filter by status and period, page by page, at /mes-paris/.
- Challenges fixed: "Parieur fou" and "Grand Chelem" progress again, and a bet settled by hand now counts too.
- The boosted match appears in its own sport tab and in the "To bet" tab.
Weekly boosted matches, tighter security
- One boosted match per sport every week, with doubled winnings.
- Login and signup attempts are throttled, the real visitor IP is read from the proxy chain, and the contact form is protected against bots.
All markets on one page, translated bet labels
- Every market of a match sits on the match page, and a bet is placed without reloading the page.
- Bet labels are translated, and the cryptic "1N2" became "Winner".
- Signup is protected against scripted accounts, and a welcome bonus is credited on the first login.
- Matches locked ten minutes before kick-off no longer show up in "To bet".
