Belal Muhammand and Jack Della Maddalena will fight for the welterweight title as the headline match at UFC 315 Saturday, May 10, with Muhammad hoping to remain champion. There is also a women's flyweight title bout taking place at the event, with Valentina Shevchenko looking to defend her belt against Manon Fiorot. Muhammad is a -192 favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook to maintain his belt, while Shevchenko is a +114 underdog. UFC fans looking to wager on the title bouts and other fights can do so using the latest DraftKings promo offer for $200 in bonus bets.

Here's how those interested can sign up for the promotion.

How to claim DraftKings promo code

This offer is for new users only. If you have previously used DraftKings in another state, you are ineligible for this promotion. You must be of legal age in a state where DraftKings operates to claim the offer.

  1. Sign up for an account with DraftKings by entering your name, address, email and payment information.
  2. Make a deposit of at least $5 and a wager of at least $5. There is no minimum odds requirement for this bet.
  3. You will receive $200 in bonus bets regardless of the outcome of your first bet. DraftKings will issue the bonus funds as eight $25 bonus tickets.

DraftKings will issue bonus bets 72 hours after the first wager is settled. They expire in seven days and cannot be cashed out or withdrawn. If you win a wager using bonus bets you receive the winnings, but not the stake.

DraftKings promo comparison

Here's a look at how the DraftKings offer compares to other sportsbooks.

Both FanDuel and bet365 are also offering bonus bets after a first wager of $5, but FanDuel requires a user's first bet to win before receiving $200. While bet365 is only offering $150 in bonus bets, users can wager those funds in any way they choose as opposed to the eight $25 tickets DraftKings issues. Caesars has gone a different direction with its promotion, offering users 10 100% profit boosts after a first wager of $1. These are strong promotions to consider for users who do not want to make a big investment to start getting into sports betting.

BetMGM and Fanatics are offering bonus bet promotions in a different format. BetMGM is providing up to $1,500 in bonus bets if a user's first wager loses, while Fanatics is giving out $1,000 in No Sweat Bets over the course of 10 days. Users must opt into the promotion each day for 10 days and wager $100 per day to potentially receive the full $1,000 in bonus funds. For users who have a greater appetite for risk and are willing to make a larger investment, these offers could be appropriate.
