After North Carolina sports betting officially launching, there are a variety of sportsbooks for new bettors to choose from. They all offer welcome bonuses for new users who sign up in NC.
Since there are a lot of options to choose from, sometimes it can be difficult to remember all of the promotions and sportsbooks. If you are confused about which sportsbook to choose or just want a general guide to North Carolina sports betting offers, follow my breakdown below.
1. FanDuel Sportsbook
- Offer: Bet $5, get $250 in bonus bets
- Code: No code needed; click here or on the module provided.
The FanDuel promo for NC residents consists of a “bet/get” deal that can get you $250 in bonus bets. The bonus bets are credited to your account after you make a $5 bet.
The bonus bets here are guaranteed, meaning that you will get the bonus bets even if your initial wager ends up losing. These bonus bets expire seven days after being credited to your account.
2. DraftKings Sportsbook
- Offer: Bet $5, get $250 in bonus bets
- Code: No physical code (click the provided module or click here)
DraftKings has an offer that is structured similarly to FanDuel’s promotion. You bet $5 to get $250 in bonus bets after you place the wager.
There are no odds restrictions on this offer, meaning your first bet can be placed on anything. The $250 in bonus bets is credited to your account in 10 total $25 bonus bet blocks. Besides this welcome offer, DraftKings frequently offers odds boosts and other promos for existing users.
3. BetMGM Sportsbook
- Offer: Bet $5, get $150 in bonus bets
- Code: LABSNC
With the BetMGM bonus code LABSNC, you can unlock a welcome offer that grants you $150 in bonus bets.
To get this offer, you must place a $5 bet on any market. You will receive the $150 in bonus bets in six $25 increments that cannot be divided further.
4. bet365 Sportsbook
- Offer: Bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets or first bet safety net up to $1,000 in bonus bets
- Code: LABSNEWS
When you use the bet365 bonus code LABSNEWS, you will get a choice between two welcome offers.
One of the options grants you a “bet/get” promotion with a value of $200 in bonus bets. You must place a $5 bet on anything with odds of -500 or longer, and you will then receive the $200 in bonus bets.
Your other choice is to get a “bet insurance” promo on your first wager. You can place a first bet of $1,000 or less, and if you lose, bet365 will return your stake as bonus bets.
5. Fanatics Sportsbook
- Offer: Bet $20 to get $200 in bonus bets or bet $100 to get $100 bonus bets for 10 days.
- Code: No physical code (click the provided module or click here)
Fanatics Sportsbook has two active offers in North Carolina. The first promotion is a “bet and get” promotion, requiring that you bet $20 to get $200 in bonus bets.
The second offer is a wager match promotion, worth up to $1,000 in bonus bets. You have to bet up to $100 with your first bet for ten consecutive days, and Fanatics will give you bonus bets equal to what you bet with your first wager. This promotion does not automatically activate, and you have to opt-in every day.
If you skip a day, you can still get some value for the promotion. For example, if you bet $100 on 7 out of 10 days, you still get $700.
Bonus bets from Fanatics Sportsbook convert to FanCash at a 1 to 1 ratio. FanCash can be used to purchase merchandise and apparel from Fanatics.
6. ESPN BET
- Offer: Bet anything, and get $225 in bonus bets
- Code: LABSNEWSNC
If you use the ESPN BET promo code LABSNEWSNC, you will get a “bet/get” offer that grants $225 in bonus bets. There is no wager or odds restriction on this offer, meaning that all you have to do to get the bonus bets is place a bet on anything.
The $225 in bonus bets will be delivered to your ESPN BET account in nine $25 increments. Those increments cannot be split up any further but can be combined to make a bigger bet. For example, you could use three of those increments on a $75 wager.
The next part of the promotion is a 200% deposit match with a play-through requirement, granting a maximum of $500.
The $500 is not credited to your account immediately. You have to unlock it by placing bets, and every time you place a bet, you get 5% of your wager as cashback. Let’s assume I bet $300 with my first bet: I would get $15 in cashback credited to my ESPN BET account, and then I would have $485 left to earn through this promotion.
7. Caesars Sportsbook
- Offer: Bet $10 to get $250 in bonus bets
- Code: LABSNEWSNC
If you use Caesars Sportsbook promo code LABSNEWSNC when signing up in NC, you can get a deal that guarantees you $250 in bonus bets.
To get the bonus bets from Caesars Sportsbook, you have to bet $10 or more on anything. The $250 is split up into five $50 bonus bet segments.
8. Underdog Sports
- Offer: $1,000 first bet mulligan
- Code: No actual code
Underdog Sports is a lesser-known sportsbook, that has also launched in NC. Their welcome offer is a “first bet mulligan” worth up to $1,000.
The “first bet mulligan” works similarly to any other first bet promotion. You can bet up to $1,000 in this scenario using cash, and then you get back your wager as bonus bets if you lose.
