Kentucky Derby FanDuel promo code: Bet on the Derby, also claim $150 on another $5 bet

Catena Media provides exclusive sports betting content to NJ.com, including picks, analysis, tools and sportsbook offers to help bettors get in on the action. Please wager responsibly.

The annual running of the Kentucky Derby is scheduled for Saturday, and you can celebrate with our FanDuel promo code that will give you $150 in bonus bets, win or lose, when you make a $5 wager on anything the sportsbook offers besides horse racing.

It’s the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville with a 20-horse field from all over the globe but the Derby isn’t the only big sports event in May. We got the conference semifinals in both the NBA and NHL playoffs and we’re entering primetime in the MLB season.

Our FanDuel bonus is the perfect thing for any sports fan offering $150 to new customers following their first wager whether it’s a winner or loser. This is a great way to get started on FanDuel Sportsbook in states that also has FanDuel Racing within the same package.

Here’s how you get started with this offer:

• Hit that FanDuel promo code on this page – no promo code needs to be entered.
• Click “Join Now” and then choose your state.
• Deposit and bet at least $5 on any open FanDuel market.
• Get $150 in bet credits when the first bet is processed.

The bet credits delivered through the welcome promotion can be used on any fixed-odds market on FanDuel Sportsbook. This includes point spreads, moneylines, over/under totals, player and team props, future bets and more.

Bonus bets appear in your account within 72 hours and are usable for 14 days. If you do not use the bets during that time, they will be vacated.

New customers must be 21 or older and may not already have a FanDuel account to be eligible for this offer. Redeeming this welcome offer prohibits users from triggering future welcome bonuses linked to their account.

Full terms and conditions of this offer can be found on the FanDuel Sportsbook app and website.

In states with both the sportsbook and racebook, you can then head over to FanDuel Racing and claim a $20 no sweat first bet on the Kentucky Derby, which is for new and existing customers.

If your state only has FanDuel Racing, don’t fret; you can still claim a bonus to use on the Kentucky Derby.

Use the “Play Now” button above, or click on this FanDuel Racing promo code link (no promo code needed) to get started. Simply complete registration, then opt-in to your $20 no sweat first bet offer.

Make your first horse racing bet at the racebook, whether it’s on the Kentucky Derby or any other race, and if it loses, you’ll receive a full match of up to $20 back in bonus bets to try again.

The top two betting favorites in the 149th Kentucky Derby are Forte and Tapit Trice, each trained by Todd Pletcher. Forte was impressive with wins at the Florida Derby and Breeders Cup Juvenile. Tapit Trice is a huge gray horse who won the Blue Grass Stakes.

Pletcher has a pair of Kentucky Derby winners out of his stable: Super Saver (2010) and Always Dreaming (2017).

The only unbeaten horse in the field is Kingsbarns, who is three-for-three, including a win in the Louisiana Derby. He’s another Pletcher-trained horse.

As always there are a slew of enticing longshots at the Derby, including Japanese-trained champion Derma Sotogake.

FanDuel has reason for players to come back for more with innovative promotions open for returning customers across all the popular summer sports, such as:

• Playoffs SGP: Lock in a refund in the form of bonus bets if you miss a 3+ leg same-game parlay by one leg.

• Referral bonus: Talk to some of your friends about signing up for FanDuel Sportsbook and when they do, you’ll each receive $50 in free bets using an exclusive link.
