Sports Betting Dime provides exclusive sports betting content to cleveland.com, including real-time odds, picks, analysis and sportsbook offers to help bettors get in on the action. Please wager responsibly.

The 149th running of the Kentucky Derby is later today, so join DraftKings Sportsbook here and sign up for a limited-time DraftKings Kentucky Derby promo on DK Horse, DraftKings’ new dedicated horseracing app.

Players in the following states are eligible to get DraftKings Sportsbook, download a $150 sportsbook bonus (can’t be used for horse racing) and then jump over to DK Horse and bet the Kentucky Derby: Colorado, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wyoming, and West Virginia.

Bettors who download the DK Horse app qualify for the latest DraftKings Kentucky Derby promo, a 100% deposit match of up to $250 in cash. Players who register through our links will land on the “bet $5, get $150″ offer for DraftKings Sportsbook, which you can activate before opening a DK Horse account before the big race.

Nineteen thoroughbred racehorses will fly through the track at Churchill Downs on Saturday, led by the favorite Forte (9/2). Other top competitors include Tapit Trice (5/1), Angel of Empire (5/1) and Two Phil’s (8/1). With DK Horse, a betting platform owned by DraftKings and Churchill Downs Inc., qualified customers can wager on any horse to win “the run for the roses” and other must-see races this weekend and beyond.

The links throughout this post still lead eligible new customers to a “bet $5, get $150″ offer. This no-brainer deal gives users an instant $150 in bonus bets after placing at least $5 on any upcoming event on DraftKings Sportsbook. But after that, download the DK Horse app for some Derby fun.

DraftKings recently launched DK Horse with Churchill Downs Inc., the company operating Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. Bettors will find an extensive list of horse racing odds and promotions, like a “Derby bet back” and “Exacta bet bonus.” New customers who sign up before the big race can also unlock a 100% deposit bonus worth up to $250 in cold, hard cash.

DK Horse’s deposit match offer requires a minimum $25 deposit and 2x play-through. That means bettors who do the bare minimum ($25 deposit, $50 in wagers) will earn a $25 withdrawable cash bonus. Meanwhile, the maximum $250 bonus requires a $250 deposit and at least $500 in played-through wagers within the allotted time.

The logistics of DK Horse are a little tricky, especially since some states can access DraftKings Sportsbook but not DK Horse and vice versa. Regardless, we’ve outlined how a new customer eligible for both apps can score a “bet $5, get $150″ offer on DraftKings and a limited-time DraftKings Kentucky Derby promo on DK Horse.

First, here’s how to claim the “bet $5, get $150″ sportsbook offer:

• Complete registration and verify your playing area.
• Deposit cash using an approved banking method.
• Place $5+ on any available betting market.
• Get $150 in bonus bets immediately after placing your qualifying stake.

Second, here’s how qualified users can join DK Horse:

• Head to DK Horse on a computer or mobile device to create an account.
• Opt into the 100% deposit bonus offer (you can also apply the promo code HORSE during registration).
• Fund your account with a cash deposit (min. $25).
• Play through your deposit twice to receive cash worth 100% of your initial investment. DK Horse pays $25 for every $50 in eligible wagers until 100% of the bonus is fulfilled.
