Can you link the bonus?
Edit: I guess it’s this?
Any location restrictions or anything? Is there a Reddit I should go read?

You have to physically be in New York State to make the bets, but this will pay your plane fare. Can easily get another 3-4 thousand in promo bonuses on the other three sites that just started here too.
Reddit has quite a bit of false info on this.
It’s different at each site, but one consistent thing is that in the US gambling is all regulated at the state level. So you have to be physically present in the state to play. It uses geolocation on your device to confirm location (which occasionally results in issues, especially for people who live close to the state line). On at least some of the sites you can sign up and deposit from anywhere, but it won’t let you place any wagers until it confirms your location.
The bonuses are insane. In Michigan, there’s easily 10K in free money to be made just on risk free first bets. Man people made much more than that aggressively hunting all available promotions. Some sites are starting to wind them down, but there’s still +EV bets to be found every day.
You can yolo $1k on baccarat OR join the same live dealer on another book and bet $500 on the other side and win ~$500
Alright, thanks. If it lasts maybe I’ll come to the US a bit later this year and do some sort of road trip.
I see most of these promos are only until the end of the month. In states where it’s been legal longer have they had decent bonuses after the initial period?
Yeah. FanDuel in particular has promos that expire then renew every month. For the most part they all offer risk free first bets and that never changes.
I have a bunch of futures for playoffs and season awards, can’t wait to see how they all lose (except rodgers which seems like a lock for MVP?). Think I bet most of the MVPs when Josh Allen was like -200 in Mid October.
SB:
KC $50 @ +500 (from start of season FanDuel promo)
NE $20 freebet @ +1000
DAL $20 freebet @ +1000
LAR $20 freebet @ +900
BUF $20 freebet @ +850
Awards:
Stafford MVP $50 @ +800
Stafford MVP $50 @ +700
Rodgers MVP $50 @ +1200
Brady MVP $50 @ +350
Brady MVP $20 @ +700 (hedging Rodgers)
Taylor MVP $10 freebet @ +2000
Chase OROY $250 @ -250
Burrow CPOY $50 @ +160
Trevor Lawrence OROY $50 @ +500 (DK preseason promo… lol oops)
The books don’t offer award prop bets in Iowa. I’m assuming something with the way the law was written? But I do have live Super Bowl futures on KC, Buffalo, NE, GB, and TB.
In NY I can confirm if you make your first DraftKings deposit of 3000 and lose it all the first day they will start texting you with invitations to join their VIP program lol. I am ignoring these as I don’t really plan on any non-promo related wagering. That’s the right move?
The VIP exclusive promos are among the highest EV (albeit require high wagering requirements).
We have similar in PA but only for college sports
At FD, managed to Bink a <3 - face - 5> baccarat hand as player for the cool 1K casino boost.
The 5K 1st bet at DK didn’t go so well. Anyone have a sure thing for the FreePlay?
Getting up there in exposure on what I think is a fantastic opportunity.
DK and Barstool still have Houston to win the AAC at +100. They’re already 2 losses ahead of the only 2 teams good enough to pose any threat (Memphis and UCF).
I think the real likelihood they win the conference is in the 80-90% range.

The line did move to -180, but I believe you’re a tad too high on them. They are dealing with quite a few injuries. Sasser was by far the best player on their team. 3-0 since his injury, but they were all against pretty bad teams (pretty much every team sucks in AAC except 2-3 like you mentioned).
Sasser injury hurts but they still have 3 of Kenpom’s top 4 players in the conference without him. Sampson is a great coach and they just overwhelmed everyone else in the league with talent except for Memphis.
Wild that it moved to -180 in the last hour after your post, was that posted or discussed publicly elsewhere?
It was already -210 on Fanduel. I slammed a good amount on +100 on DK. So that combined with a couple people from here taking it might be enough for them to review the lines
Assuming you know more about the situation than I do. No idea how a player’s Kenpom rating will be effected by the absence of their best player.
Line movement for a market like this won’t take that much if a lot of money is put down by a flagged/sharp account. It’s not like they have to move the other sides of the market for this.
