The latest FanDuel promo unlocks $150 in bonus bets after placing your first $5 wager on the platform. You’ll get the bonus bets whether that first bet wins or loses.
Some readers may be thinking that this offer is notably lower than some of the other widely advertised new user promotions. While that is technically correct, there is an important caveat.
The vast majority of those “$1,000 new customer offers” function as insurance on a new user’s first wager. So bettors will get their stake back in bonus bets if their first wager loses. This promotion gives new users $150 in bonus bets when they make a qualifying wager, regardless of the outcome.
As noted, this promotion is live in every legal FanDuel state. We will outline the nature of this offer below, highlight the relevant conditions and preview some of the best bets for the start of the NBA’s First Round over the weekend.
New players can use this link or click the module below to sign up for a FanDuel account.
FanDuel promo code
This promotion, which is valid in every legal FanDuel state, is a bit different from other new user offers.
As opposed to many other welcome offers that give users some insurance on their first bet, this promotion gives new users $150 in bonus bets regardless of whether their first bet wins or losses, as soon as they place their qualifying wager.
After a new user places their qualifying wager, they’ll get $150 in bonus bets that can be used for any additional wager on the platform. Critically though, bonus bets cannot be withdrawn or cashed out.
In other words, if a new user places a $100 bonus bet on the Lakers at +140 against the Grizzlies and LA wins, the user will pocket $140. This is because users will keep their winnings from a successful wager but will not get their bonus bet stake back.
This promotion does not require a promo code, so new users can claim this offer by simply clicking the module above and inputting the relevant information. Critically though, this promotion is limited to new customers who are at least 21 years old.
How to use the FanDuel promo on Sunday
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzlies
The Lakers travel to the FedEx Forum for a monumental First Round matchup on ABC Sunday afternoon.
These teams come into the postseason on different ends of the spectrum. The Lakers were scorching through the end of the year while the Grizzlies dropped four of their last seven games to end the regular season.
While the Lakers won the regular season series 2-1, the playoffs are a bit different. Ja Morant is obviously a huge factor for Memphis as the Lakers don’t have a good perimeter defender to play against him.
Anthony Davis has been incredible against the Grizzlies this year, in the two games he played in (notably without LeBron) he posted a 30-point, 22-rebound game and a 28-point, 19-rebound game. Memphis doesn’t have a solid defensive matchup for Davis without Steven Adams.
His points and rebounds is at 39.5 and, given his stats during the two regular season matchups, there’s a play on the over here.
Overall, LA is a 3.5-point favorite with the O/U at 228.5. The total seems accurate but the spread is pretty narrow and, given how the Lakers have been playing, look for them to cover in a surprising Game 1 upset.
