Sports fans are in the throes of summer, which means it’s a perfect time to spice things up with the betting angle. FanDuel Sportsbook makes that easy for you.
New customers can sign up with FanDuel Sportsbook and earn $200 in bonus bets after your first $20 bet. This lucrative offer makes it easy for you to get your account started with a bang.
Let’s dive into how you can get the value at FanDuel along with a look inside Saturday’s Padres-Phillies matchup 1:06 p.m. ET.
How the FanDuel Sportsbook Bonus Works
Even if the rewards seem similar, each sportsbook has their own process needed to claim their new-customer bonus, so it’s important to understand how each offer works before signing up. Here at Fantasy Labs, we’re going to help simplify things for you. Here’s how the FanDuel Sportsbook bonus works.
First, if you’re interested in taking advantage of FanDuel’s bonus, make sure you’re located in one of the qualified states. Those states are listed below:
- Arizona
- Colorado
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- Massachusetts
- Maryland
- Michigan
- New Jersey
- New York
- Ohio
- Pennsylvania
- Tennessee
- Virginia
- West Virginia
- Wyoming
If you’re in one of those states, click on this link and create your account (no promo code necessary).
Once you’re signed up, find a bet you like and place a minimum of $20 on that prop to qualify you for the bonus.
After your bet settles, FanDuel will automatically deposit $200 in bonus bets into your account whether your first bet wins or loses. These bonus bets can then be used to wager, but they expire within 14 days, so make sure to use them in a timely fashion.
Bonus bets are just like cash, only you don’t keep the stake if your bet wins. For example, if you use $50 in bonus bets to place a wager on a prop with +200 odds and that bet wins, you’ll get to keep the profits ($100), but you don’t get the original bet back ($50) since it was placed with bonus bets — not real cash.
How to Bet on Saturday’s MLB Slate
The MLB regular season baseball is finally back and that means it’s time to look at your favorite games and put some money down. Saturday features a full slate, but there’s one matchup that’s particularly interesting, which is a double-header between the Padres and Phillies.
The Padres are loaded with talent but haven’t been able to put it all together yet this season. They’ve been hovering around .500 since Opening Day, and are still trying to break out of that area. A double-header is a good way to do that. You get two games in one day and can make up some serious ground in a hurry.
Blake Snell vs. Taijuan Walker
Both of these teams have talent on both sides of the ball, but the pitching matchup in Game 1 is what tilts the value toward the Padres. They’re slated to have Blake Snell on the hill — one of the most talented pitchers in the MLB who has found his groove. After a slow start to the season, Snell has worked his ERA down to .285.
The Phillies have a solid pitcher on the mound in their own right with Taijuan Walker, who has a 10-3 record on the season with a 4.02 ERA. Backing the Padres isn’t a slight to Walker, it’s a belief in Snell who is yet to give up an earned run in July (11 innings pitched).
Grab the Padres ML at +115.
