www.rotowire.comHere’s a quick update on the latest sportsbook promos and promo codes you can consider.
What’s happening now
- Several major sportsbooks are rolling out welcome offers and bonus bets for new sign-ups, with popular partners like DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and Fanatics frequently featured in roundups. These lists are updated frequently as new promos launch or expire.[1][3][7]
- Many guides note that some promos don’t require a promo code and apply automatically when you sign up through a promotional link, while others do require entering a code at registration. Always check the terms on the signup page to confirm code requirements and eligibility.[2][4][1]
Representative examples you’ll often see
- BetMGM: Up to $1,500 in bonus bets in some states; alternative “bet $10, get $150” style promos in others. Promo codes may be listed as required in certain markets.[1]
- DraftKings: Welcome bonuses commonly include up to around $1,000–$1,150 in bonus funds, plus no-sweat or risk-free bets in many regions; generally no code required if you sign up via the promo link.[1]
- FanDuel: Frequently offers “bet $5, get $150 in bonus bets if you win” style promos in eligible states; often no code needed when using a signup link.[1]
- Caesars: Has promoted code-based boosts or credits in some campaigns (e.g., profit boosts or bet credits with specific codes). Always verify the current code and wagering requirements.[3]
How to proceed quickly
- Check a current “best sportsbook promos” roundup for your state (California has access differences from other states). Look for the most up-to-date welcome offers, then verify:
- Is a promo code required?
- What is the maximum bonus amount and how is it paid (bonus bets vs. cash).
- Any play-through and eligibility requirements (time limits, sports, bet types).
- Which states are eligible for the specific offer you’re eyeing.
