Two more “freebies” from DK for existing NY users (both $25 max)
+100 for a TD tomorrow in Jets/Bills
+100 for a TD in the college football championship
I wonder at what point they’ll make me place a real bet. LOL.
Need to look into Caesars - I’ve seen the adds but haven’t signed up yet.
I’m seriously considering driving from south Michigan to Erie and then to Buffalo next week
Any Pa or NY sites I should know about
In NY, FanDuel, Draftkings, Caesars, and BetRivers are the 4 approved to start today. Another 4-5 should be coming soon as well, I believe. You can pretty easily Google and pull up articles on the various sign up promos they are all offering.
Wind Creek Casino, 100% match to $400, 1x(!) wager requirement, has starmania
Caesars PA, uses the old Caesars and is complete garbage in terms of sportsbook, no promos or anything. However, the casino is insane, assuming it still works there is 100% up to $2021 with 5x wager requirement (deposit and bonus), also has starmania.
there are people on r/sportsbook promo thread flying in from across the country to to do it lol
Help me out - put this into the laymenest of laymen terms for me. I get some of it, but
WTF is starmania?
ETA also say more on the bonus clearing, not understanding that
Starmania is a high RTP (return to player) slot with 97.68% RTP. The higher the better in terms of clearing casino bonuses. You can try it out for free here: https://free-slots-no-download.com/nextgen-gaming/17950-star-mania/ The most common one that is higher than starmania is bloodsuckers at 98%. The higher the RTP the better, especially when you are doing literally thousands of spins.
All the casino promos have wagering requirements to clear the bonus, usually 5x to 10x. Back in the day like 15+ years ago when online casinos were a new thing, you could clear their signup bonuses by just playing perfect blackjack lose basically nothing. Now, table games usually only count as 10% in terms of wager requirements, so you are forced to do slots, which still count as 100%. With Caesars PA, for example, you need to do $20,210 in slots to clear the $2021 bonus. You will likely lose a couple hundred dollars, depending on how hot you run, but will still profit like $1500+.
I know nothing about this stuff buy how do the books prevent people from using a VPN?
They have software that recognizes if you’re currently using a VPN. They won’t let you bet until it’s turned off. Doesn’t matter if you are in the actual state.
Same goes for other software used as a workaround, such as teamviewer.
What do I need to know if I open a BetMGM account in Las Vegas?
Don’t ever bet player props and be very careful about how much you arb on there despite them setting terrible and easily arbed lines. Otherwise you’ll quickly be limited to max $10 bets.
NY’s new market promos going great… $1k free bet on FD, hit the over on GB/DET for the max so don’t even need to worry about rolling through the $1k site credit. $50 boosted bet on Bills/Jets o3 +100 coming up next.
Hopefully these offers keep rolling… my Twitter ads are basically just sportsbook offers at this point, they’re clearly spending a ton on marketing.
Apparently the catch on the Caesars promo is that their website won’t stay up long enough for you to churn through 6k of square bets. Not a slick debut.
How does a book know if you arb’d? Aren’t you placing two bets on two different books?
Yeah, unfortunately I already had a FD account so couldn’t do their new member promos, but I’ve racked up about $150 free money from FD and DK from these “no-brainer” +100 bets. I will have to figure out how to max the Caesars promos when their site is working.
My guess is they can see where their lines are off, and they usually get corrected fairly quickly. If you’re consistently hammering those lines for large amounts prior to them changing, they seem to limit you fast. MGM seems to be the fastest to limit people from what I’ve seen, and they consistently have the most exploitable lines of any book I’ve seen.
I’ve placed one sports bet over $20 in my life, so I think I’m safe. Was wondering about new player promos.
If I refer someone using the middling “you get $50 they get $50” referral offers, do they lose out on the big sign up bonuses the books are offering? Or can they stack?
They won’t know you arb.
But they will know you bet $1500 on bills jets alt line u33.5 at -450
Open account, don’t deposit. Within two days they will send you a 100% up to $500 deposit bonus.
