Mass Sports Betting Offers

Fanduel promo code no sweat bet

Get $200 in Bonus Bets

Bet on Any Sport

No Promo Code Necessary

New Users Only

1. FanDuel

FanDuel is offering a strong bonus bets promo for new users, giving everyone $200 in bonus bets when they make a $5 wager. You’ll get the bonus whether that first bet wins or loses.

2. BetMGM

  • Promo code: LABSTOP or use this link
  • Offer: $1,000 first bet on the house

BetMGM is giving new users a $1,000 first bet offer, meaning if your first wager on the platform loses, you’ll be refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost. Learn more about the BetMGM offers at Action Network.

3. Caesars Sportsbook

  • Promo code: HANDLENEWS1BET
  • Offer: $1,500 first bet on the house

Caesars has the highest first bet on the house offer of any sportsbook, giving users up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if their first wager on the platform is a loss.

4. WynnBet

  • Promo code: XLABSMA or use this link
  • Offer: $100 in bonus bets when you make a $100 bet

WynnBet has the lowest offer of any sportsbook, giving new users $100 in bonus bets with a $100 wager.

5. Barstool Sportsbook

  • Promo code: N/A
  • Offer: $1,000 first bet on the house

Barstool has a similar offer to BetMGM, offering new users a $1,000 first bet on the house. That means if your first bet loses you’ll be refunded in bonus bets, equal to whatever you lost.

Barstool’s bonus cash does work differently than bonus bets at most sportsbooks, though. You’ll get the stake back, as well as any profits. So if you put $50 bonus cash on the Red Sox at +110, you’ll profit $55 and keep the $50. Most books don’t let you keep the $50.

6. DraftKings

  • Promo code: N/A
  • Offer: 20% deposit match, up to $1,000

With this offer, you need to put in $5,000 to get the full $1,000 in bonus bets match, since it’s a 20% offer. The bonus bets will slowly trickle out as you wager on the platform, otherwise known as a rollover.

New customers 21+ only, must be present in MA. T&Cs apply. Users must not be excluded from betting. If you or a loved one is experiencing problems with gambling and needs support, call 1-800-327-5050 or visit gamblinghelplinema.org to speak with a trained specialist free and confidentially 24/7. LiveChat with a GameSense Advisor at GameSenseMA.com or call 1-800-GAM-1234.
