FanDuel Massachusetts promo code unlocks $200 for Tuesday NBA, college basketball slates

The FanDuel Massachusetts promo code gives new users up to $200 in bonus bets, with no promo code required, when they wager just $5. Additionally, FanDuel’s No Sweat First Bet is live in other states, which gives bettors their full stake back in bonus bets — limited to a max of $1,000 — in the event of a losing first bet.

The $200 in bonus bets is advantageous for Mass. bettors because you don’t have to risk much. To claim a full $1,000 from the No Sweat First Bet, you actually have to put that money in up front.

There are plenty of ways to use the bonus bets, like betting Princeton to get out of the South Region of the NCAA Tournament at the still-juicy price of +2500. You can also keep the college basketball action rolling Tuesday with Oklahoma State vs. North Texas in the NIT. The bonus bets are like a credit in which you keep any profit from winning bets, but not the bonus bet itself.

With online sports betting officially landing in Massachusetts on March 10, the biggest sportsbooks in the country, including FanDuel, are offering customers competitive welcome promotions.

In the paragraphs below, we’ll highlight the relevant sign-up details of each promotion and preview some of the best bets for the NBA on Tuesday.

Boston Celtics vs. Sacramento Kings

The Celtics will finish off their road trip on the West Coast with a game against the Kings that could have an impact on both teams’ playoff seeding.

This is the end of a six game road trip for Boston, during which they’ve looked mediocre. They’ve fallen to the Rockets and the Jazz and have struggled on defense throughout the trip. Both the Jazz and the Rockets shot over 42 % from the field in those games.

Additionally, the Celtics’ offense has been unable to make up the ground, being held to 110 or under in two games last week, which bodes poorly against the Kings who have been one of the NBA’s best offenses all year.

The Kings have gone 6-2 over the past eight games, with offensive efficiency being the key to those victories. They’ve increased their 3-point shooting percentage to above 40 % during that span and have slightly improved on the defense end as well.

While Sacramento did drop a game to the middling Jazz on Monday, they’ll be back at the Golden One Arena on Tuesday night, which will give them an emotional boost; the Kings’ home record is 21-14 this season.

The Celtics are 5.5-point favorites here with the O/U at 238. Back Sacramento to cover the spread as Boston’s defensive struggles will continue against this formidable offense.

If you’re looking for player props, Harrison Barnes is a good option in this one. With the Celtics keying on Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox, Barnes will have a lot of good looks. Take Barnes to knock down at least two 3s here.

Unlike some other big-name books, FanDuel currently has two valid promotions in Massachusetts. The first is an exclusive offer to the state while the second, the No Sweat First Bet promo, is an evergreen offer that is valid in other states as well as Massachusetts.

While both offers include potential bonus bets, they are structured differently. The Massachusetts exclusive offers bettors up to $200 in bonus bets, if their first wager loses, when they place a qualifying wager of $5. Under the No Sweat First Bet promotion, new users can get their full stake returned in bonus bets — limited to $1,000 — if their first wager doesn’t hit.

As noted above, this promotion is exclusive to Massachusetts in light of the March 10 launch of online sports betting. This offer, which is limited to new users who are at least 21 years old, gives new players up to $200 in bonus bets if they place a qualifying wager of $5.

To trigger this promotion, a new user’s first bet must be unsuccessful and they must place a real-money wager of at least $5.

This offer does not require a promo code, and users can claim this promotion by clicking the link below.

The No Sweat First Bet promotion, which is valid in dozens of other states as well as Massachusetts, gives new users their full stake back in bonus bets — limited at $1,000 — if their first wager is unsuccessful.

Similarly, this offer does not require a promo code and new users can claim this promotion by simply clicking the link below.

New users should review the conditions highlighted below before claiming either promotion from FanDuel.

Critically, both promotions are restricted to new customers who are at least 21 years old. The Massachusetts offer is limited to users who are physically present in the Bay State. While players do not have to be a resident of the state, they must be within the state borders, which is verifiable using geolocation data.

Thus, the first step to claim either promotion is to sign up for a FanDuel account, which new users can do by clicking the links above. Neither promotion requires a promo code.

Next, new users need to place a real-money wager of at least $5 to trigger the Massachusetts promotion and $10 to trigger the No Sweat First Bet promotion. Wagers placed with bonus bets or other kinds of credits will not qualify for this promotion.

After that, users who claimed the Massachusetts promotion will be automatically credited with $200 in bonus bets once the qualifying wager is settled.

In addition to the Massachusetts exclusive offer, users in the Bay State can claim the No Sweat First Bet promotion. This offer functions as a kind of first-bet insurance, with bettors getting their full stake returned in bonus bets — limited at $1,000 — in the event of an unsuccessful first wager.

Bonus bets, stemming from either promotion, can be used for additional wagers on the FanDuel platform but cannot be withdrawn or cashed out.

Typically, bonus bets will be distributed to a new user’s account within 72 hours of the qualifying wager settling. Those bonus bets will be valid for seven days after distribution.
