Best sportsbook promos for Michigan vs. Washington CFP

Penn Live
 

The College Football Championship is finally here – and sportsbooks are rolling out the red carpet for new customers to sign up before the game. We’re rounding up the best sportsbook promos for the Championship matchup, with some details on the game and betting picks.

For Pennsylvania sports bettors, it’s a year like no other, with big bets and a historic title on the line for both teams. For either team, a win would clinch the first College Football Playoff National Championship in franchise history. Michigan won its last title in 1997 through the AP Poll, and Washington’s last chance at hoisting the trophy came in 1991 when they shared it with Miami.

No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Washington are clashing on Monday, January 8, in Houston, Texas. The Wolverines are edging out the Huskies in the odds, with a 4.5-point spread and a total set at 56.5 on BetMGM.

The top five promos below are from some of Pennsylvania’s best sportsbooks.

BetMGM Sportsbook is giving PA bettors the best payout of any sportsbook – but it’s contingent on placing a bet and how that bet goes.

New customers can sign up with our BetMGM promo code PENNLIVEMGM and win up to $1,500 in BetMGM bonus bets. Just set up a new account through our promo link, place a first-time bet of $10 or more, and wait to see if that bet wins or loses.

If you lose that first cash bet, you’ll trigger the BetMGM promo. BetMGM will reimburse your loss in the form of BetMGM bonus bets equal to the stake you lost – up to a whopping value of $1,500 in bonuses. That’s the highest payout of any US sportsbook right now. Of course, your initial wager will decide how much you get back. If you bet $10, you’ll get back $10 in bonus bets, etc.

You can also opt for a different BetMGM welcome bonus that works whether you win or lose your first bet. With this bonus, you get a guaranteed $200 in bonus bets after making a wager of $10 or more. This is a better option if you like a sure thing and don’t plan to bet over $200 in your first wager.

Both bonuses are available by using our BetMGM promo code PENNLIVEMGM and following the prompts to create a new customer account on the sportsbook.

FanDuel has refreshed its welcome offer in the new year and is giving new customers one of its most popular bonus offers: the “Bet $5, Get $150″ bonus. Last year, the bonus was only available if you won your first bet, but now all you have to do is place the wager and get the bonus.
