Fanatics Sportsbook promo: Get $200 and early app access in Maryland, Mass., Ohio and TN

Fanatics Sportsbook is quickly making a name for itself in sports betting. The apparel company is a later entrant into the sports wagering space in the U.S., but will ramp up significantly in the coming months.

Users in Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio and Tennessee can test the beta version and get up to $200 in bonus bets from the Fanatics Sportsbook. This beta version also includes early access to the platform. The “beta” version gives users complete access to the sportsbook — with bettors able to withdraw, deposit and bet as they would on the normal app.

Claiming this offer is very straightforward as users simply need to complete a short survey to get the downloadable beta app. Once they’ve completed the survey, users are free to wager as they please on the platform. Since this promotion doesn’t require an actual promo code, users can easily get the beta by completing the survey.

Fanatics has been ramping up its expansion approaches over the past two years, marked by the recent acquisition of Points Bet which is slated to close in August. Following that finalization, Fanatics will take over operations in all PointsBet US states, three at a time.

We’ll explain the nature of this promotion and provide detailed instructions on the easiest way to sign up with Fanatics.

The structure of this promotion will be familiar to most bettors, as a variety of different sportsbooks have similar “bet and get” promotions.

This promotion requires users to make a $5 qualifying wager and, once it settles, will be awarded $200 in bonus bets.

In addition to the four beta states, the PointsBet acquisition indicates that Fanatics Sportsbook is poised for a rapid expansion into more states. Fanatics will be reportedly launching in three states at a time following the finalization of the PointsBet deal on Aug. 31.

Oakland Athletics vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

The A’s travel to Pittsburgh for Game 1 of a three-game series against the Pirates.

Oakland has struggled mightily this season, mostly due to their pitching. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, has found some offensive success lately but they’ve also been able to solidify their pitching to secure some wins.

Johan Oviedo is on the mound for the Pirates on Monday. His three recent starts have been solid, with at least five strikeouts and allowing no more than three runs in each.

Most books have him at 5.5 Ks for this Monday matchup, which could be achieved quicker than expected against this A’s lineup that has struggled mightily on the road.

JP Sears is on the mound for Oakland. He has also been dealing lately, holding the Astros, Mariners and Braves to three runs or less and throwing seven strikeouts against the Diamondbacks on May 19.

Despite the good numbers recently, Sears is still seeking his first win and Oviedo is 3-4.

Currently, the Pirates are +105 favorites with the O/U at 9. With the solid work from both pitchers lately, this one will stay low and go under.
