Fanatics Sportsbook Promo: Up to $300 in Guaranteed Bonus Bets for NFL, MLB & More
When the trade deadline has come and gone and the calendar flips to August, it's time to lock in and enjoy Major League Baseball's pennant races as we await NFL action (a full preseason slate this week!). With several big games happening today — and several top pitchers on the mound — it's a great time to capitalize on the Fanatics Sportsbook promo that loads you up to $300 in guaranteed bonus bets. Bettors in Michigan, New Jersey or Pennsylvania are guaranteed $300 in bonus bets just for playing $30 in bets over a three-day span (a $10 or more wager each day on odds of -500 or better). Those playing in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia or West Virginia, place a $10 bet for five straight days. In return, you'll receive $250 in FanCash plus all winnings on those first bets. Bettors in all Fanatics Sportsbook states (outside of New York) can choose the national Fanatics Sportsbook promo No Sweat Bet offer that can mean as much as $1,000 in FanCash back on losing wagers over a 10-day stretch. FanCash can be used for bonus bets or the Fanatics apparel site. New customers in New York get to play one 100% profit-boost token each day for 10 straight days. During July, three division leads changed hands. The New York Mets edged past the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East, the Milwaukee Brewers climbed over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central and the Toronto Blue Jays left the New York Yankees behind. We say this as a reminder that anything can happen down the stretch … and probably will. When you look at today's schedule on the Fanatics Sportsbook app — one of the nation's most comprehensive sports betting apps — you'll see intriguing odds in several places. We're focused on Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski throwing against the Washington Nationals, the Cubs' Matthew Boyd facing the suddenly hot Baltimore Orioles and the Sunday Night Baseball matchup between the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies. With the Fanatics Sportsbook promo, you'll feel like you're getting so many turns at bat that you're the whole batting order. To secure your welcome offer with one of the best sportsbook promos out there, click any BET NOW button and take two minutes to follow the steps. Then you'll soon be rewarded with your bonus bets or FanCash. Fanatics Sportsbook Promo: Up to $300 in Bonus Bets or $1000 in No Sweat Bets Just as time is getting short for MLB teams who aren't near the top of the standings, time is running out for drivers intent on making the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Starting with today's Iowa Corn 350 at the Iowa Speedway, there are only four more races before the playoffs. Winning a race automatically qualifies you, so drivers like Brad Kesolowski, Ty Gibbs and Kyle Busch have extra incentive to push it to the limit today. Check the latest auto racing odds to see how they stack up. Just like MLB and NASCAR, the PGA Tour is ready to cut things down to the best of the best. After today's final round of the Wyndham Championship is complete, the top 70 golfers in the point standings get to participate in the FedExCup playoffs that will distribute $100 million in winnings. Tap the Golf icon on the Fanatics Sportsbook app to see how you can play on events all over the world. Ready to play?
