How to claim March Madness sportsbook promos

Claiming a sportsbook promo is a relatively straightforward and streamlined process. A sportsbook customer must first go through the account creation process, which typically involves submitting basic personal identifying information.

An initial deposit of at least $5 ($10 at some books) is also usually necessary before you can claim a sportsbook bonus. Once that is completed, the sportsbook customer should enter a promo code in the appropriate field, if that is required to claim the offer. However, there are other instances where a promo code is not required to claim the welcome bonus, but rather, just a click on a hyperlink for the bonus offer does the trick.

Duke to win national championship (+340 on DraftKings Sportsbook)

There’s certainly potentially value in Florida as a longer-shot pick — the Gators are currently as high as +750 at FanDuel Sportsbook — but a defense that had its fair share of trouble away from home could well be what ultimately does Florida in. In contrast, the Blue Devils, the slight favorites over Auburn to win it all just a handful of days before Selection Sunday, appear virtually bullet-proof and have the all-important power of momentum coming into the tournament.

Duke finished regular-season play with victories in 24 of its last 25 overall, including eight straight. Jon Scheyer’s squad heads into the ACC Tournament ranked No. 9 in the country in points per game (83.5) and No. 4 in points allowed (61.4). Duke also finished No. 8 in 3-point shooting (38.7%) while finishing in the top 15 in turnovers committed per game (9.5), further corroboration of the Blue Devils’ ability to excel in everything from offensive efficiency to ball security. 

The trio of Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel and Tyrese Proctor leads the way, and fifth-year senior Sion James is a highly efficient “fourth wheel” who drained a blistering 53.9% of his attempts, including 42.6% from behind the arc. On the other end of the court, the Devils allowed the third-lowest shooting percentage (38.2%), corroborating how difficult a puzzle they’ll be to solve.

With depth, height and balance on their side, the Blue Devils make for a formidable bet to take home national championship hardware at the conclusion of March Madness.
