Get $200 in bonus bets as sports betting comes to Vermont

The excitement of the NFL playoffs will soon be upon us with Week 18 of the regular season wrapping up in a few days. Residents of the state of Vermont will soon have the opportunity to add even more excitement to their football viewing experience. Legalized sports betting is expected to hit the state in January.

However, you don’t want to wait until the 11th to start preparing for the launch. With one week remaining until the launch, now is the perfect time to pre-register at DraftKings Sportsbook. In exchange for pre-registering, DraftKings will award all new Vermont bettors with $200 in bonus bets. DraftKings is the No. 1 sportsbook in New England according to the market share over the last year.

Up until now, if you’ve lived in Vermont, you had to travel to legally place your bets. Neighboring states such as New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts have had legal sports betting for months now. While a trip across the border might have been fun, it certainly wasn’t convenient. Starting January 11th, it will no longer be necessary.

Bettors in the state of Vermont will legally be allowed to bet in time for the start of the NFL playoffs. They’ll also be good to go for the rest of the NHL, NBA and college basketball season. Make sure you’re good to go when the action opens by pre-registering with DraftKings. You’ll get $200 in bonus bets and be ready to wager right away. DraftKings is one of our most highly-rated sportsbooks.

Vermont sports fans root for a variety of sports teams. While the New England Patriots aren’t going to make the NFL playoffs, some might choose to root for the Buffalo Bills or other teams. Canadian, New England and other northeastern teams are competing in the NBA and NHL as well as college basketball.

Claiming the promotion for DraftKings in Vermont is simple. Just follow these steps:

  1. Click our . Make sure to click this link to get the promo offer.
  2. Enter all necessary personal information. You must be at least 21 years old.
  3. Create your account before January 11th to make sure you’re eligible for the pre-registration bonus.
  4. When sports betting is active, log in and claim your free $200 in bonus bets. The bets will be awarded in the form of eight $25 bonus bets. You must be physically within the state of Vermont to place your bets.

The $200 bonus bets offered for pre-registration shouldn’t preclude Vermont bettors from claiming other promotions across the industry. At the same time, there’s no guarantee there will be other promotions offered by DraftKings. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to claim $200 in bonus bets.

The first weekend of legalized sports betting will feature the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. In addition, Vermont bettors will be able to place future bets on who will win the Super Bowl.

The NHL and NBA are about half-way through their regular season. Soon enough, those teams will be grinding through the stretch and fighting for playoff seeding. We’re only a few months away from the playoffs in both leagues.

Vermont bettors also can sign-up in time for the best part of the college basketball season. Conference play is underway and conference tournaments are a few months away. A few weeks after that, March Madness will get underway. Check out the college basketball betting guide before diving into that wild sea of action.
