The post 7 Best NFL Betting Promos & Apps for Preseason Week 2, Including FanDuel & DraftKings appeared first on SportsHandle.

NFL Preseason Week 2 kicks off tonight with the Eagles taking on the Patriots at 7 p.m. ET and you can use the best NFL betting promos to sign up and wager via the top sports betting apps today. If you’re a new bettor, or just new to a specific online sportsbook, you can claim the sign-up bonus offers featured below to get in on the action.

We’ll walk you through our favorite NFL betting promos from the best sports betting sites so you can place an NFL bet tonight, or on any sport you prefer. These are our top-7 sign-up bonuses:

1. FanDuel

FanDuel promo code: no code necessary

FanDuel offers one of our favorite NFL betting promos where you can bet $5 to get $150 in bonus bets and daily boosts, if your first bet wins.

Before you activate the FanDuel promo code, you need to set up a new account by clicking this link. After setting up the account, make at least a $10 deposit, and place a $5 first bet on any bet type or odds.

If your first bet wins, the bonus bets hit your account within 72 hours. The $150 in bonus bets must be used within seven days to avoid expiration.

2. DraftKings

DraftKings promo code: no code necessary

Bet $5, Get $150 in bonus bets instantly

The DraftKings promo code offer, accessible by using this link, is similar to FanDuel’s, with a few key differences. The deposit requirement is lower at $5 vs. $10 and the bonus bets are paid out instantly upon placing your first bet on the sportsbook platform.

For example, say I place $5 on the New England Patriots (-165) over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. After submitting the bet, the $150 in bonus bets hit my account instantly. Next, if my bet hits, I profit the cash and keep my stake as well.

The bonus bets deposit as six $25 bonus bet credits that must be used within seven days. Each $25 bonus bet can’t be split, but must be used in its entirety on a wager.

Bet $5, Get $200 in bonus bets instantly (DC only)

DraftKings recently launched in the District of Columbia and offers new users almost the same DraftKings promo code offer. However, your $5 bet earns $200 in bonus bets, instead of the $150 in all other locations.

You can click this link to set up a new DraftKings DC account and claim the $200 NFL betting promo.

3. BetMGM

BetMGM bonus code: SHNEWS1600 or HANDLETOP

BetMGM provides the choice between two NFL betting promos in most sports betting states, while new Ohio users can only claim the $1,500 first bet on the house.

BetMGM bonus code SHNEWS1600 – 20% deposit match

When you apply the BetMGM bonus code SHNEWS1600 to a new account, you earn an extra 20% on your first deposit, matched with sports bonus funds. It’s entirely up to you on how much to deposit, but the minimum deposit to activate this BetMGM promo is $10.

What happens after the deposit?

• You have seven days to play the sports bonus funds before they expire.
• You must bet 10x the bonus earned within 30 days of opening your new account in order to withdraw any cash winnings. For example, a $100 deposit, earning $20 in sports bonus, requires $200 in total cash bets in the 30 day time frame.

BetMGM bonus code HANDLETOP – $1,500 first bet offer

Alternatively, the BetMGM bonus code HANDLETOP unlocks first bet insurance, up to a maximum $1,500 in bonus bets. You must deposit at least $10 and place a cash bet of any size to be eligible.

Let’s say I place $500 on the Philadelphia Eagles (+135) in NFL Preseason Week 2.

• If my bet wins, I profit $675 and keep my $500 stake.
• A losing first bet gets reimbursed with $500 in bonus bets.

If my bet is $50 or less, BetMGM sends a single bonus bet credit to cover the stake. However, a larger wager of $51 or more is reimbursed with five bonus bets each worth 20% of the stake loss.

4. bet365

bet365 bonus code: SHNEWS

You have the choice between two bet365 NFL betting promos in 10 states while Pennsylvania users can find an exclusive bet365 sign-up bonus offer.

$1,000 First Bet Safety Net

One of your options with the bet365 bonus code SHNEWS is a first bet insurance, up to $1,000. It works the same as other first bet insurance offers on this page, requiring at least a $10 deposit and a cash bet to qualify.

Any first bet insurance you encounter has two potential outcomes:

• Win — You profit cash and keep the initial stake
• Loss — The online sportsbook reimburses your loss with bonus bets to match your first bet amount

bet365 bonus bets are valid for seven days and can be split across wagers for a chance at cash.

Bet $5, Get $150 in bonus bets

Alternatively, you can apply the bet365 bonus code SHNEWS and get $150 in bonus bets after placing a $5 first bet on -500 odds or longer. You get bonus bets from this NFL betting promo no matter how the bet plays out.

Let’s say I like the under 35.5 total points (-110) in the Eagles vs. Patriots matchup. Whether the under hits or not, I get the $150 in bonus bets within an hour of bet settlement. Just like the bet365 First Bet Safety Net, I have to use the bonus bets within seven days to avoid expiration.

Bet $5, Get $150 + 50 casino spins (PA only)

The bet365 PA bonus code SHNEWS provides the same bet-and-get offer with an additional 50 casino spins for bet365 Casino. These casino spins allow you to play slots on bet365’s online casino for a chance at real cash.

5. ESPN BET

ESPN BET promo code: SHNEWS

In 18 legal sports betting states, you can set up an ESPN BET account with the ESPN BET promo code SHNEWS to claim a $1,000 First Bet Reset. While sporting a fancy name, it’s just another first bet insurance offer, worth up to $1,000 in bonus bets.

Your first bet can be on any bet type and odds. A winning bet profits cash while a losing bet is reimbursed with bonus bets, up to a $1,000 max.

ESPN BET reimburses your first bet, if it loses, with five bonus bets each worth 20% of the loss. The bonus bets must be played within seven days to avoid expiration.

6. Fanatics Sportsbook

Fanatics Sportsbook promo: no code necessary

Bet and get up to $1,000 in bonus bets – AZ, CO, CT, IA, IL, IN, KS, MA, MD, MI, NJ, NY, PA, VA, VT, WV, WY

This Fanatics Sportsbook promo, available in 17 states, provides a daily match on your first bet, paid in bonus bets, after you set up a new account by clicking here. Here’s how each day works:

1. Opt into the promotion in your account
2. Place a first bet of any size on -200 odds or longer
3. Get a bonus bet match, up to $100, no matter how the bet settles

This continues over the first 10 days of opening your new Fanatics Sportsbook account. It’s OK to skip a day of wagering; however, you can’t earn bonus bets on that particular day.

After bet settlement each day, the bonus bets hit your account within 72 hours. These bonus bets expire in seven days from receipt.

Get up to $1,500 in bonus bets over your first 11 days – KY, OH, NC, TN

Four of the Fanatics Sportsbook states offer a similar Fanatics Sportsbook promo with an elevated first day match. You can use this link to sign up for the $1,500 bonus bet match Fanatics Sportsbook promo.

Here’s the daily structure of the sign-up bonus in Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina and Tennessee:

• Up to a $500 bonus bet match on the first day
• Up to a $100 bonus bet match each day for the next 10 days

After the first day, this NFL betting promo is essentially the same as the other sign-up bonus. Each day requires an opt-in in the account followed by a first bet on -200 odds or longer.

For example, most sports betting markets qualify in the Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots Thursday night matchup. If that is the first day of my new account, I can place $500 on the Patriots (-165) to get $500 in matching bonus bets and profit some cash if the Patriots win.

7. Caesars Sportsbook

Caesars Sportsbook promo code: HANDLENEWS1000

The last of the NFL betting promos featured here is the Caesars Sportsbook promo code HANDLENEWS1000, which provides a first bet on the house, up to $1,000. This first bet insurance offer requires at least a $10 deposit and first bet to activate the welcome bonus. If your first bet loses, you get a single bonus bet credit back that matches your first bet amount, up to $1,000.

Let’s say I bet $200 and the bet loses. I get a single $200 bonus bet credit that must be used entirely on a single bet within the next 14 days.
