FanDuel promo code for this weekend's games
With the men's and women's tournaments coming to their respective ends, now could be a good time for new bettors to secure the latest FanDuel promo code to get $200 in bonus bets
To help celebrate a major weekend in college basketball, new bettors may want to try out the latest FanDuel promo code. Each tournament has just one game remaining, with the men's title game in San Antonio on Monday, and the women's final in Tampa on Sunday. Let's explore the latest FanDuel welcome offer along with previewing the monster college hoops slate.
How to claim FanDuel's promo code
If you're interested in landing FanDuel's welcome offer for new users, you can follow these steps to earn $200 in bonus bets.
- Click "Claim Bonus" on this page, which will direct you to FanDuel
- Enter the requested information and allow FanDuel to verify your location
- Put in a first deposit of at least $5
- Make a first wager of at least $5
With FanDuel's sign-up offer, you only earn the $200 in bonus bets if your first bet wins. Since there isn't an odds requirement for that first wager, new users want to make sure that they bet on a heavy favorite to give themselves the best chance of obtaining the $200 in bonus bets.
If the first bet wins, you can bet the $200 in bonus bets however you'd like. It can be two $100 bets, eight $25 wagers, 10 $20 wagers or even 100 $2 bets. But the bonus bets must all be used up within seven days or any remaining amount will expire after that period. When wagering with bonus bets, you only get the winnings back for your payout, not the initial stake back too.
New users must be 21+ to sign up for FanDuel Sportsbook.
FanDuel promo comparison
If you're wondering about how FanDuel's offer lines up with other sportsbook offers, you can see below:
| Brand | Promo | CBS promo code |
| FanDuel | Bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets if your bet wins | None required |
| BetMGM | Up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses | CBSSPORTS |
| Caesars | Bet $1, double your winnings on your next 10 bets | CBSDYW |
| Fanatics | Bet $30 Get $300 in Bonus Bets (select states) | None required |
| DraftKings | Bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets instantly | None required |
| bet365 | Bet $5, get $150 in bonus bets win or lose | CBSBET365 |
The key differentiator between FanDuel and the other sportsbooks offering "bet and get" welcome bonuses is that FanDuel is the only one where you have to win your first bet to earn the bonus bets. Even though you potentially get more bonus bets with FanDuel than DraftKings and bet365 ($150 each) and you don't have to invest as much initially with FanDuel ($5) compared to Fanatics' new bet $30, get $300 in bonus bets offer in select states—not having to worry about whether your first bet will win or lose is a big advantage the other sportsbooks with similar offers have.
For BetMGM and Caesars, new users would have to invest more to potentially earn the maximum reward. BetMGM provides up to $1,500 in bonus bets that would match the amount of your first bet if it loses, basically serving as first-bet insurance. Caesars gives new bettors 10 100% profit boost tokens after a first bet of at least $1. The maximum wager for each of those 10 bets is $25, meaning that new bettors could be spending as much as $250 for this promo. Wagering a higher amount may turn away new bettors and could also make it more likely they start off in the negative compared to the "bet and get" offers.
What to bet on in sports this weekend
College basketball reigns supreme this weekend, with plenty of exciting tournament action in store. On the men's side, all the top seeds advanced to San Antonio. Florida defeated Auburn on Saturday to advance to the title game. The Gators will take on a Houston Cougars team that took down mighty Duke, with the championship taking place on Monday night.
Three No. 1 seeds advanced to Tampa for the final weekend of the women's tournament—South Carolina, UCLA and Texas. The lone exception, No. 2 UConn, is the betting favorite to win it all. The Huskies topped two Los Angeles schools, most recently beating UCLA in the semifinals by 34 on Friday. The title game will be played on Sunday, April 6, at 3 p.m, with UConn taking on South Carolina.
If you're more into the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder are hosting the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday afternoon, and the Houston Rockets will play the Golden State Warriors at Golden State on Sunday night.
Responsible Gaming
If you're a first-time bettor or a long-time bettor, the most important thing you can practice is responsible gaming. FanDuel has tools for bettors to make sure that they gamble responsibly, such as time limits, wager limits and access to their activity statements at any time.
More resources can be used nationwide, including The National Council on Problem Gaming, Gamblers Anonymous and calling 1-800-GAMBLER.
