Nut Graf: Kicking off the 2025 NFL season, FanDuel’s latest incentives aim to attract first-time customers and boost engagement among seasoned bettors by combining a high-value welcome bonus with risk-mitigating in-app promotions.

Week 1 Welcome Bonus: Bet $5, Get $300

FanDuel’s new user promotion grants $300 in bonus bets if a customer’s first $5 NFL wager wins. No promo code is required-simply register, deposit at least $5, and place a qualifying Week 1 wager. The bonus bets will be credited within 72 hours and expire after seven days.

Qualifying wagers include moneylines, spreads and player props on any Sunday NFL game. This offer is available to first-time users in 25 U.S. jurisdictions, including Arizona, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.

No-Sweat Bet and Profit Boost Promotions

In addition to the welcome bonus, FanDuel is offering:

  • No-Sweat Bet: New and existing users receive their stake back as bonus bets if their first wager on any Sunday NFL game loses.
  • NFL Profit Boost: Select bets receive enhanced odds to increase potential payouts, with the boosted returns credited as bonus bets.

These in-app promotions complement the main welcome offer and can be used on the full Sunday slate, including marquee matchups such as the Giants vs. Commanders and Lions vs. Packers.

Expanded Market Offerings and MLB Strikeout Props

Beyond football, FanDuel Research released its daily MLB strikeout prop odds for Sunday’s games, featuring matchups like Red Sox vs. Diamondbacks and key pitchers’ over/under strikeout lines. This expansion underscores FanDuel’s commitment to providing comprehensive market coverage across major U.S. sports.

Strategic Growth and Industry Position
