Bettors looking to get in on any of the action this week can utilize the latest FanDuel promo code, which gives new users $200 in bonus bets if their first bet of $5 wins. This offer can be used on any sporting event available on FanDuel, and the sportsbook does not require a code in order to utilize this promotion.
Let's take a closer look at the FanDuel welcome bonus, how to claim it and how it stacks up with offers from other sportsbooks.
How to sign up for FanDuel promo
The latest FanDuel promo code is available to new users 21 and older who have never used the platform before and who reside in a state where FanDuel is available. To use this promo, follow these steps:
- Click "Claim Bonus" on this page to be taken to FanDuel Sportsbook
- Enter all required information such as the state you're located in, name, email, address and date of birth and then submit the necessary identification if requested.
- Make a first deposit of at least $5 and make your first wager of at least $5 on any sporting event.
- If that initial wager wins, $200 in bonus bets will be credited to your account.
These bonus bets can't be cashed out and must be used within seven days or they will expire. The $200 in bonus bets can be used on multiple bets and not all at once. And if you use bonus funds and your wager wins, only the winnings are returned to you – not the stake.
Sportsbook offers
FanDuel is one of many best sportsbooks offering a new-user promotion. Below, we'll examine and compare what FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics and bet365 are offering new users who sign up for the platforms.
Brand | Promo | CBS promo code |
Bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets if your bet wins | None required | |
Bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets instantly | None required | |
Bet $30, Get $300 in Bonus Bets (select states) | None required | |
Up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses | CBSSPORTS | |
Bet $1, double your winnings your next 10 bets | CBSDYW | |
Bet $5, get $150 in bonus bets win or lose | CBSBET365 |
FanDuel, DraftKings and bet365 are all offering "bet and get" promotions in which new users can net bonus bets after an initial wager of just $5. FanDuel and DraftKings are both offering $200 in bonus bets compared to $150 for bet365, but you have to win your first bet at FanDuel to receive those bonus bets. That's not the case at DraftKings and bet365, where a first bet of at least $5 instantly nets you at least $150 in bonus bets whether that initial wager wins or loses.
Fanatics and BetMGM are running bet insurance promos, but in different ways. With Fanatics, each of your first bets over the first 10 days you're with the sportsbook are covered up to $100, meaning if your first bet on any of those days loses, you'd receive your stake back in the form of bonus bets up to $100 per day, giving you the potential of $1,000 in bonus bets, but that would require you placing a $100 bet as your first wager every day for 10 days and all those bets losing. As for BetMGM, you can receive up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses. If you wagered $1,500, for instance, and lost that bet, you'd receive $1,500 in bonus bets. But if your first wager was for $2,000 and lost, you'd receive only $1,500 in bonus bets.
With Caesars, the sportsbook's promotion is centered around profit boosts for future bets. After placing an initial wager of $1, your next 10 bets receive a 100% profit boost. The max wager for each rewarded profit boost is $25, and the max additional winnings for each rewarded profit boost is $2,500.
