We have added a new and very simple way to get your hands on the free ratings each Friday: play our free NAP competition during the week. The more you play between Sunday and Thursday, the sooner those ratings are yours.
Play twice: free ratings on Friday
Enter the NAP competition on any two days between Sunday and Thursday, both days included, and you will unlock the free Friday ratings on Friday. Two qualifying entries across the week is all it takes.
Play three times: get them on Thursday afternoon
Step up to three entries between Sunday and Thursday and you go one better. Instead of waiting for Friday, you get access on Thursday afternoon, as soon as the ratings are released. That is a genuine head start on the weekend.
Prizes worth playing for
Entering does not just unlock the ratings, it also puts you in the running for real prizes, with competitions running all the time:
- Weekly (Sunday to the end of Saturday): £20 cash, a £25 Betfair free bet, a month of Premium ratings and a winner's mug.
- Monthly (the calendar month): £50 cash, a £50 Betfair free bet, two months of Premium ratings and a winner's mug.
- Special events: extra competitions run alongside the big festivals, such as Royal Ascot, the Cheltenham Festival and Glorious Goodwood.
You can see the full breakdown on the prizes page and track your position on the leaderboards.
That winner's mug is made by Hacked Up, and our regulars take real pride in building a collection. Just ask Neil:

And it is completely free
The NAP competition is free to enter, so there is no cost to qualifying, just a daily selection to put in. Play twice to get Friday's ratings on Friday, or three times to get them a day early on Thursday afternoon. New to it all? Start with what the NAP competition is, then jump in.
