This page is for the Kempton chase only. The table below lists our partners' welcome offers, each with its significant terms beside it, and the section after it sets out who pays Best Odds Guaranteed on a Boxing Day card. For the race itself, our [King George VI Chase guide](/racing-news/king-george-vi-chase/) covers the history and the trends. *18+. New customers only unless stated. Significant terms apply to every offer on this page.

Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) pays the bigger of your taken price and the starting price, so it is worth knowing which of our partners pay it before you bet. Every firm below excludes ante-post bets from BOG, so a price taken weeks before the meeting is not covered. Checked at the operators' own pages on 9 October unless stated: - **QuinnBet**: BOG on UK and Irish racing for bets placed from 10am on race day, with the extra it pays capped per bet. - **BetGoodwin**: BOG on UK and Irish horse and greyhound racing, capped per bet, with special markets and international racing excluded. - **LiveScore Bet**: BOG on UK and Irish racing from 10am, but only once you have staked a set amount with them over the previous seven days. - **Star Sports**: no BOG. It withdrew the concession and has not brought it back. - **William Hill**: its help pages made BOG invitation-only. We could not re-read that page on 9 October (it refuses automated access), so this rests on our July check. - **Betfred**: BOG on UK and Irish racing in our July check. Betfred's site blocks automated reading, so we could not re-check it. For the full year-round comparison, see our [best BOG bookmakers](/bookmakers/best-bog-bookmakers/) guide. ### Backing the King George ante-post If you back a horse weeks before Boxing Day and it does not run, most firms settle that as a losing bet unless the market was marked Non-Runner No Bet. Kwiff's own betting rules say exactly that for its ante-post markets. Check that the market shows NRNB before you take an early price, or wait for the final declarations, when that risk falls away. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### When is the King George VI Chase?
