How Do FanDuel's No-Sweat Bets Work?

FanDuel offers a lot of promotional offers. The biggest one is a $1,000 no-sweat first bet new user signup promotion. Other offers include a parlay on Thursday Night Football and smaller no.sweats bets to existing users.

FanDuel moved away from the “risk-free bet” language because these promotions are not truly risk free.

FanDuel's No-sweat bet works like this: Deposit $10-$1,000, make first bet, keep the deposit and the winnings, get free bets equal to the amount you bet. Free bets expire in 14 days, so use them quick. If the first bets fail, you get back the original deposit, but the bets cannot be withdrawn and must be wagered to turn into cash.

FanDuel's No-Sweat Bets are available to anyone who deposits $10 to $1,000. If the bet wins, you get the original deposit and the winnings, if it loses, free bets equal to the amount you bet. The free bet expire in 14 days.

FanDuel's No-Sweat Bets work as follows: If the Chargers win, I keep the original $1,000 and profit another $2,700. If they lose, I get $ 1,500 in free bets.

Free bets at FanDuel are better than at many other sportsbooks. You can bet on anything. Tyler Lockett didn't score a touchdown on Monday Night Football and Fanduel got $25 back. He bet $5 on a live MLB game, $ 5 on Florida State vs. Louisville and $15 on Chargers vs Chiefs in Week 2.
