This offer doesn’t require a promo code so users can easily claim this offer by clicking the modules displayed below and inputting the relevant information.

Essentially, this promotion works as insurance for new users. Bettors will get their stake back in bonus bets — up to $1,000 — if their first wager doesn’t win.

We’ll elaborate on the details of the promotion and highlight some of the best bets for Thursday in the paragraphs below.

FanDuel No Sweat First Bet

As mentioned above, this promotion functions as first bet insurance for new users. So bettors can get their complete stake back in bonus bets — capped at $1,000 — if their first wager loses.

Since this promotion doesn’t require a promo code, new users can easily claim this offer by clicking the module displayed below and inputting the relevant personal information.

Notably, the bonus bets earned from this promotion, if you lose your first bet, cannot be withdrawn or cashed out, and must be bet to turn into cash.

For example, if a user places a $100 bonus bet wager on the Heat at +240 against the Celtics and the Heat win, the bettor will collect $240 in profit but will not get their stake returned, as bonus bets are only valid for one wager.

However, if that bettor placed the same wager, in cash, on the Heat and Miami won, they’d of course keep their stake. In that instance though, they would not earn any bonus bets.

To earn bonus bets from this promotion, new users need to place a real-money wager to be eligible for this promotion. If the wager wins, users will keep their profits and get their stake back. If that real-money wager loses, users will get their stake back in bonus bets.

How to use the FanDuel promo on Thursday

Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat

The Celtics look to stave off elimination at home against the surging Heat.

It seemed unlikely that the Celtics would get swept, but they still have a ton of work to try and come back from this massive deficit.

Miami has looked fluid on offense and has played excellent defense through the first three games of the series, even through much of Game 4.

Boston put together an excellent run to start the second half which eventually helped lift them to victory, but two additional factors were the 15 turnovers Miami had and the abysmal three-point shooting. It’s unlikely that the Heat will shoot that poorly in Game 5, but if the Celtics maintain those strong closeouts we saw in Game 4, they’ll have a chance to win.

Despite putting together an impressive playoff run up to this point, Jaylen Brown has struggled in this series. This could stem from a tougher matchup and the general tenacity of the Miami defense. Brown has been matched up against Jimmy Butler and Gabe Vincent for most of his offensive possessions, which doesn’t leave him much room to operate.

Brown’s points+assists+rebounds are at 32.5 for Thursday night. Given how he’s played in this series, bet the under here as his struggles will continue against the pestering Miami defense.

Overall, the Celtics are eight-point favorites here with the O/U at 215.5. The total seems on point given how these two teams have been keying off on defense. Even though Miami has played very well and that spread is a bit generous, consider betting the Celtics on the moneyline here as they’ll push the series to six, or tying it into a parlay.
