If it loses, you’ll receive bonus bets of up to $1,000 that match your initial stake. The site credit is valid for two weeks and can be used on any bet type FanDuel offers.

You can also allocate as much of the bonus to each follow-up bet as you desire, providing additional opportunities to increase your bankroll.
