FanDuel Sportsbook Kentucky is currently running a pre-registration offer for new Kentucky customers prior to Sept. 28. New bettors that create an account with FanDuel prior to Sept. 28 will earn $100 in bonus bets when sports betting is live and $100 off NFL Sunday Ticket, with no deposit required.
In other states, you can get $200 in bonus bets with a $5 wager on any market, plus the Sunday Ticket discount.
FanDuel is one of the top ranked sportsbooks across the country and will provide a plethora of markets for Kentucky bettors from the NFL, MLB or any other market you prefer. In addition, Kentucky users will be able to take their bets anywhere within the state, or any other sports betting state, using FanDuel’s award-winning mobile app.
Kentucky is the most recent state to pass sports betting, both retail and mobile. Retail sports betting launched on Sept. 7 along with mobile sports betting going live on Sept. 28. This adds to the rich history of betting in Kentucky with horse racing such as the Kentucky Derby every spring.
Kentucky
Kentucky customers simply need to create a FanDuel account prior to Sept. 28 and they earn $100 in bonus bets on Sept. 28 and a $100 NFL Sunday Ticket discount.
All other FanDuel locations
Any new FanDuel customer can create a new account, make a $10 deposit and $5 wager to win the $100 NFL Sunday Ticket discount and $200 in bonus bets.
FanDuel makes it extremely easy to create a new account as part of the offer. Follow these simple steps to place your first bet with FanDuel when sports betting launches.
- Navigate to the FanDuel Sportsbook promotion page. (affiliate link)
- Click the join button and type in a valid email address, username and password.
- That’s all you need! On Sept. 28 bonus bets deposit directly to your account.
Bonus bets can be used anywhere within the FanDuel platform but cannot be withdrawn. They are essentially treated as funds and can be selected via the betslip as the preferred method of payment for a wager.
The difference between a cash wager and the bonus bets is that a cash wager will receive the stake back if the bet hits. Bonus bets can only be played once, which means regardless of bet outcome, the stake is forfeit to the house.
For example, you win the bonus bets on Sept. 28 and use $100 on the Detroit Lions +150 vs. Green Bay Packers.
Luckily, Kentucky college teams will be available to bet on when mobile sports betting launches on Sept. 28 in the Bluegrass State.
Whether you’re a Wildcat, a Cardinal or a Hilltopper, FanDuel will offer Kentucky teams for major markets such as football and basketball. While it may not be a competitive football year for the colleges listed above, bettors can always find their favorite NFL or NCAA teams or hope to wait for basketball season in Kentucky.
All other users can create a FanDuel account and place a wager immediately in a legal sports betting state. After account registration, a minimum $10 deposit is required for the offer and any $5 wager counts towards the promo.
Whether the wager wins or loses, FanDuel deposits bonus bets within 72 hours — meaning new bettors can hit their first bet and grab cash on the side with their bonus bets and NFL Sunday Ticket discount. All FanDuel bonus funds last for seven days and can be used as currency within the platform to fund a wager.
FanDuel has the biggest footprint of any legal sportsbook besides DraftKings (and maybe BetMGM Sportsbook, if you count states that force you to sign-up in person or wager in certain locations only).
It’s the market leader for good reason, and will only grow as more states add legal betting.
