FanDuel Sportsbook requires new users to win their first $5 bet to access $200 in bonus bets. It's wise to bet on a massive favorite for your first bet to maximize your chances of earning the bonus bets.

The Orlando Magic (-550) are the biggest ML favorite on Thursday. Barring an upset, you would have $200 in bonus bets available for any sport following the game's conclusion.

You can customize your FanDuel bonus bets, meaning you aren't required to place one $200 bet.

BetMGM Sportsbook gives new customers the choice between two welcome offers. You can score $158 in bonus bets with a simple $5 wager on any betting market. The outcome of the first bet doesn't affect the bonus payout.

If you have a large bankroll, you can claim the $1,500 deposit match. This offer requires a $7,500 deposit to achieve the $1.5K sports bonus. A 10X rollover requirement prevents you from withdrawing until you wager your bonus 10 times.
