FanDuel Massachusetts Promo Code: Get $100 Bonus Bets in MA Before Launch

FanDuel Sportsbook will be live in Massachusetts next month, and on Friday, the leading U.S. sportsbook launched its $100 bonus bet pre-registration offer.

What’s that mean? When sports betting goes live in Mass. on March 10, your account will be credited with $100 in bonus bets. No deposit is required, either.

March 10 is the tentative go-live date for Massachusetts online sports betting right now; retail betting launched in January.

Bonus bets work like this — you keep any profits, but not the bonus bet itself. So say you put $20 in bonus bets on the Celtics to win the NBA Title at +500. If they win it all, you profit $100 ($20 x 5.0) but you don’t keep the $20 in bonus bets. You just keep the $100 cash. If the Celtics don’t win it all, your bonus bet goes away.

Should I Claim This Offer Now, or Will There Be a Better One Later?

It’s hard to say. Sportsbooks generally up the ante in new states to acquire customers, since the data shows that being a bettor’s first or second sportsbook makes it more likely they stick with you.

The advantage of this Massachusetts offer is that you really don’t have to risk anything. You don’t even have to make a deposit. Just sign up for an account, and you’ll get $100 in bonus bets when online betting launches in a few weeks.

FanDuel’s $1,000 no-sweat first bet is the standard offer in all states right now. And if you’re comfortable risking the entire $1,000, it’s a higher-value offer than the $100 in bonus bets. The no-sweat bet goes like this — you’ll be paid back in bonus bets if your first bet loses, equal to whatever you lost, up to $1,000. But most people don’t claim the full $1,000.

How Do Bonus Bets Work?

With this offer, you get $100 in bonus bets — that’s all. You don’t have to make a first wager and get refunded if you lose, like the no-sweat first bet. The FanDuel bet credits expire if not used in 14 days — so 14 days from March 10.

The optimal betting strategy for bonus bets is to use them on plus-money wagers, because the expected value is higher.

Let’s say you put $100 in bonus bets on the Bruins to win the Stanley Cup at +500.

• If the Bruins win, you win $500 but you don’t keep the $100 in bonus bets.
• If the Bruins lose, your bonus bets just go away.
