DraftKings MLB playoff promo code
The DraftKings promo offers new customers a $50 bonus bet when they make a first deposit, along with a 20% match of that deposit in bonus funds. New customers can then receive a further $200 in bonus bets when they place a first wager of $5 or more, whether that bet wins or loses. You don’t need a promo code to claim this welcome bonus.
The 20% first deposit match is good for up to $1,000, making for a maximum potential combined welcome promo of $1,250. However, the matching funds from the deposit bonus is subject to a 25x playthrough requirement. So if you made a first deposit of $500, you would receive $100 in bonus funds, and then you would need to make $2,500 in wagers to convert those bonus funds into withdrawable money.
The time limit to meet that 25x wagering requirement is 90 days. The bonus bets you receive from the promo, meanwhile, will expire after seven days if you don’t use them.
FanDuel MLB promo code
The FanDuel promo also does not require a code to claim it when you sign up. New customers will get $200 in bonus bets when they sign up, deposit $10 or more, and place a bet of $5 or more.
You can divide these bonus bets into multiple wager, essentially using them similar to cash funds on the site. However, they are not withdrawable and will expire seven days after FanDuel issues them.
Caesars MLB playoff promo code
The Caesars Sportsbook promo code LSR1000 will unlock a welcome bonus of up to $1,000 in the form of first-bet insurance. That means Caesars will refund your first wager in the form of a one-time bonus bet if it loses. For example, a $50 first wager that loses would get you a $50 bonus bet token, which you can use at the sportsbook as one bet.
The minimum deposit requirement is $10, and the minimum bet to qualify for first-bet insurance is $5. The first bet must settle within 30 days of when you created the account. The bonus bet expires 14 days after Caesars issues it if you don’t wager it before then.
Fanatics MLB promo code
The Fanatics Sportsbook promo offers up to $1,000 in bonus bets over the first 10 days for new customers. You don’t need a promo code to qualify. Just sign up and wager between $5 and $100 on the first day after creating your account, and the book will match that stake in the form of FanCash whether your wager wins or loses.
You can convert FanCash into bonus bets, which you can use to wager at the sportsbook, or you can use it to purchase apparel at fanatics.com. After the first day, you’ll need to opt in and place a wager of between $5 and $100 to receive a matching bonus over each of the next nine days, for a potential maximum of $1,000 in bonus funds over the first 10 days.
