Best NBA betting promos for full Wednesday slate and beyond: FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars and more

The NBA season is now in full-swing and with All-Star Weekend beginning Feb. 16, teams are making a push to inch up the standings ahead of the season’s midway point. With the NBA regular season humming along, there’s never been a better time to get in on the action at one of the best sportsbooks in the country.

There are always a ton of sports betting options out there, and it can be hard to discern which promotion is best for what league or market, but we’ve compiled a list of the best operators and their accompanying promotions for NBA bettors in the subsections below.

FanDuel Sportsbook: No promo code needed

FanDuel Sportsbook has one welcome offer for anyone in 21 states: bet $5 in cash and get $150 in bonus bets if your wager wins. There’s no promo code required for this offer, so you can get started simply by clicking the module below.

From there, you’ll need to make a cash deposit to register your account. Then, you’ll be ready to wager.

The structure of this promotion lends itself to a wager on a heavy favorite. Take a game from the NBA Wednesday slate as an example.

The Mavericks (-850) are a 12 point favorite against the Spurs (+575). As a heavy favorite, Dallas is a good option for this promotion. They’ve easily beaten San Antonio in the majority of matchups they’ve had this season.

You can follow the steps below to sign up with FanDuel Sportsbook.

1. Use the module above to get started, review the terms and conditions before finalizing your account.
2. Place a cash deposit to register your account.
3. Make a cash bet of at least $5, any market will apply.
4. If your bet wins, you’ll get $200 in bonus bets.

BetMGM: TRIB1500 or TRIBUNENEWS

BetMGM is one of the few operators on this list that has two distinct promotions available — based on location and value — each with its own unique bonus code.

The bonus code TRIB1500 and the module below will unlock a 20 percent deposit match with a $1,500 cap. On the other hand, the bonus code TRIBUNENEWS unlocks a $150 bet and get.

To get started, you’ll need to make a cash deposit of $10 to register your account. Both offers are exclusively for new customers who are 21 or older and present in a legal BetMGM state.

TRIB1500: 20 percent deposit match w/ $1.5K cap

This is fractional deposit match, so you’ll get 20 percent of whatever your deposit in cash credited to your account as sports bonuses. So you’ll need to deposit $7,500 in cash to reach the full, $1.5K cap.

If you put down a $4,200 cash deposit, you’ll get $840 in sports bonuses distributed to your account.

Additionally, you’ll need to meet the 10x wager requirement so you’ll need to bet 10 times the amount of sports bonuses you earn within the first 30 days of registering your account. In keeping with the example above, you’ll need to bet $8,400 to keep your eligibility.

This offer is now available in 17 states: AZ, CO, IL, IN, IA, KS, LA, MD, MA, MI, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV and WY.

TRIBUNENEWS: Bet $5 get $150 in bonus bets

In addition to that unique deposit match promotion, BetMGM has a $150 bet and get promotion that’s accessible in 19 states.

Bet at least $5 in cash and get $150 in bonus bets when it settles, win or lose.

As mentioned, this offer is now accessible in all the same places as the deposit match plus Kentucky and Washington D.C. for a total of 19 states.

1. Review the T&Cs
2. Make your first cash deposit of at least $10
3. You’re ready to wager!

Caesars Sportsbook: CTNEWS1000

This type of promotion — that is a bet insurance promotion — is common among American sportsbooks. In fact, several operators on this list have some kind of first bet insurance promotion available for new users, including Caesars Sportsbook.

In this instance, you can get up to $1,000 as a bonus bet if your first wager loses. Unlike many other offers with a similar structure, you’ll get one lump sum bonus bet with the Caesars Sportsbook offer. So, if you bet $825 in cash and your wager loses, you’ll get one bonus bet that’s equal to $825. You will not be able to break them down into smaller increments. Said bonus bet will be valid for 14 days after distribution.

Currently, this promotion is accessible in 20 states: AZ, CO, MA, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV and WY.

If you use the module below and that bonus code to set up your account, you’ll be directed to the bet365 landing page. You’ll then need to select one of the two available promotions: either a $1K bet insurance offer or a $150 bet and get.

Once you get to the bet365 landing page, you’ll have 30 days to select one of the promotions before your eligibility expires. You’ll need to place a cash deposit of at least $10 regardless of which offer you claim.

Both promotions are available in nine states (Arizona, Ohio, New Jersey, Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia, Iowa, Indiana, and Colorado). Notably, the legal betting age in Kentucky is 18 or older. In all other jurisdictions, the legal betting age is 21 or older.

$1K First Bet Safety Net

Fairly straightforward here, you’ll get your full stake back in bonus bets — up to $1,000 — if your first wager loses.

Bet $5 Get $150

You can get $150 in bonus bets when you place a cash bet of at least $5, regardless of how it settles. As long as your cash wager falls within the odds requirement (-500 or longer) you’ll be eligible to get $150 in bonus bets, regardless of whether you win or lose.

Fanatics Sportbook: No promo code needed

Formerly focused on sports apparel, Fanatics has entered the sports betting market with the new Fanatics Sportsbook. You can get $1,000 in FanCash with this special welcome offer.

For every day you bet $100 in cash, you can get $100 in bonus bets everyday for a total of 10 days, amounting to $1,000 in FanCash at the end of that span. Notably though, you’ll need to opt in on the promotions page everyday and your first bet of the day will count towards this promotion.

To ensure you reach the maximum value for this one, you’ll need to opt-in daily and make sure your first cash bet after opting in is $100. This offer is applicable to the first 10 days after signing up with Fanatics Sportsbook and since you have to opt-in each day, if you forget one day, you can still claim the bonus bets the following day.
