Sky Bet welcome offer: 50/1 on Man Utd to win or draw vs Ipswich

Manchester United will be determined to bounce back from last week’s shocker at Hull when they take on another promoted side in the shape of Ipswich on Sunday afternoon.

The burning question is whether lightning will strike twice, or whether Michael Carrick’s men will pick up their first points of the season.

If you fancy the latter, Sky Bet has a welcome offer of 50/1 on Man Utd to win or draw in the Manchester United vs Ipswich clash.

The process involves registering a new account, depositing at least £5 and placing a £1 qualifying bet on United to avoid defeat at the standard price, which was 1/12 (1.08) at the time of writing. That unlocks 5 x £10 free bets.

Ipswich arrive in good heart, having fought back to beat last year’s surprise package Sunderland on the opening weekend, so the pressure is on Carrick and co not to slip up for a second week running.

The Red Devils have not lost at home to Ipswich in the Premier League era and, with that in mind, Sky Bet is offering new customers enhanced odds of 50/1 on Manchester United to avoid defeat this weekend.

Sky Bet Manchester United vs Ipswich offer: Get 50/1 on United to avoid defeat

Sky Bet promo offer, checked 29 August 2026.

Sky Bet’s promotion is open to UK and Irish residents over the age of 18 registering as new customers.

Instead of Sky Bet’s standard sportsbook price on United to win or draw against Ipswich, which was 1/12 at the time of writing, the bookmaker has enhanced the price to 50/1.

To unlock the bonus, new customers need to:

1. Sign up: Create a new Sky Bet account using the Enhanced Price Boost welcome offer and deposit at least £5 with an eligible payment method.
2. Qualifying bet: Before the game kicks off, stake exactly £1 on United to win or draw against Ipswich in the double chance market.
3. Boost: These odds are enhanced to 50/1 (51.00) when the qualifying bet is settled.

What do I get back? You will receive the winnings from the qualifying bet, which at the 1/12 (1.08) price quoted at the time of writing would be £1.08.

Now to the 50/1 promotional part. Sky Bet does not actually pay £50 in cash, but instead gives the new customer £50 in tokens. The free bets do not come in one lump sum either, but are split into five tokens of £10 each.

Free bet rules: It is also worth bearing in mind that there are three restrictions on these promotional free bets. Firstly, they are non-withdrawable, and the free bet stake is not included in any returns.

Secondly, the five £10 free bets can only be used on football Build-A-Bet markets. Singles are not permitted, which means your chances of success are lower, although the rewards could be higher.

Last of all, they have a limited shelf life and expire after 14 days, so make sure you use them all up and do not end up wasting this potentially valuable promotion.

What happens if Ipswich win? In that case, Sky Bet will still compensate you with a £10 free bet token within 72 hours of the qualifying bet being settled.

Manchester United vs Ipswich: Will United bounce back?

Manchester United freshened up their midfield with some high profile summer signings like Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba, but still managed to lose their opening game for the second season in a row, against a team heavily favoured to make an immediate return to the Championship.

The visit of Ipswich could be just what the doctor ordered, as United are unbeaten at home against the Tractor Boys in the Premier League era (W4 D2) and in 1995 Andrew Cole bagged five goals in a 9-0 drubbing of the Suffolk visitors.

Kieran McKenna was in charge of the visitors on their last trip to Old Trafford, in February 2025, which ended in a 3-2 defeat. At the helm now is Gary O’Neil, who has lost all four games as a manager against Manchester United.

The omens do not read well for Town either, having lost their previous four trips to Old Trafford by an aggregate of 18-2.

Sky Bet priced United at 4/11 to win and 15/4 to draw at the time of writing, so odds of 50/1 covering both of those outcomes stand out against a double chance price of 1/12.

Is the Sky Bet Manchester United vs Ipswich offer worth claiming?

So what is the verdict on Sky Bet’s promotional offer for the Man Utd vs Ipswich game? Most operators are using their standard welcome offers to lure new customers to their brand, but Sky Bet has gone out on a limb and come up with a specific offer for Sunday’s game.

There are some who might not like the idea of cheering on United, but that seems like a small price to pay.

Readers might be tempted by the headline grabbing 50/1, but the one drawback of this promotion lies in the free bet rewards, which have to be used on Build-A-Bets. Some punters prefer singles.

That said, the outlay for the double chance qualifying bet is only £1, and even if Ipswich pull off a shock win you will still receive a £10 free bet.

History is on the side of United, and this is a welcome offer worth a look for anyone opening a new account this weekend. If you would rather have the bookmaker’s standing welcome deal, our Sky Bet sign up offer page has the current terms.

18+. New customers only. Please gamble responsibly. Terms and restrictions apply. Offer availability, odds and promotional terms are subject to change and should be checked immediately before betting.
