The 3 best 2023 Belmont Stakes sign-up bonuses and promo offers

The Belmont Stakes, often called the Run for Carnations, is the final leg of the prestigious Triple Crown. It’s run annually in Belmont Park, New York. While the Kentucky Derby draws a massive international fan base, Belmont is where champions are crowned and history is made.

Whether you’re trying to bet on Belmont for the first time or you’re a seasoned track bettor, we have the best sign-up offers and promotions for readers to review.

We’ve listed the three dependable betting sites for horse racing fans, all of which are available to bettors in the Land of Lincoln.

1. Twinspires Belmont promo

Twinspires has become synonymous with horse racing as they’ve consistently offered bettors excellent promotional options.

Their Belmont Stakes offer is a little convoluted but still presents users with an excellent opportunity for some bonus cash.

New players to Twinspires can get up to $400 in bonus cash when they bet a total of $1,600 over their first 30 days when they use the Twinspires promo code CTRACING. For a user to get that complete amount in bonus cash, they’d need to bet $1,600 within the first month of establishing their account.

Once users have reached that betting threshold, they’ll get $400 in bonus cash credited to their account. Failure to meet that threshold in the allotted time will void the promotion entirely.

As expected, any bonus bets earned from this promotion can be used for any additional wager on the Twinspires platform but cannot be withdrawn or cashed out.

Critically, the bet must be finalized to qualify for the promotion and only official results will qualify for this promotion.

2. FanDuel Sportsbook and FanDuel Racing Belmont promo

FanDuel’s racing promotion situation is a bit different because users in some states will bet using the traditional FanDuel Sportsbook app while others will be directed to the FanDuel Racing app.

Basically, if online sports betting is legal in your state, you can use the FanDuel Sportsbook app for horse racing wagers. In states where online sports betting isn’t legal, users need to register with FanDuel Racing and place their bets there.

New Jersey is one exception, as there is an app dedicated exclusively to horse racing in the Garden State, 4NJBets.

Despite these discrepancies, the promotion is the same on both platforms: up to $20 back in bonus bets if your first wager on the Belmont doesn’t win. It must be on a horse to win the race, not any exotics.

The first module displayed below is for bettors in legal online sports betting states and will take players to the regular FanDuel Sportsbook app where users can then place any wager they like.

The second module below is for bettors in nonlegal sports betting states and will take users to the FanDuel Racing app which is exclusively for horse racing.

FanDuel Sportsbook

Users can get up to $20 back in bonus bets if their first wager doesn’t hit. Notably, this promotion is only applicable to users who place a straight win wager on one horse and exotic bets will not trigger this offer.

As is the case with other sign-up offers, any wagers placed with bonus cash or other credits will not qualify for this offer, as only real-money wagers will initiate this promotion.

FanDuel Racing

As noted above, the FanDuel Racing promotion is exclusively for players who are in states in which online sports betting is not legal.

Despite that difference, the value and structure of this promotion is the same as the FanDuel Sportsbook offer: new users can get up to $20 in bonus bets if their first wager doesn’t win.

Similar to the FanDuel Sportsbook promotion, this offer is limited to new customers who are at least 21 years old.

As is the case with all new customer offers, bonus bets earned from this promotion can be used for any wager on the FanDuel Racing platform but cannot be withdrawn or cashed out.

3. DRF Belmont promo

DRF is another racing giant, as they’ve become one of the biggest names in race betting over the past few years. Their new customer offer is one of the most robust among the three listed here as users can get a $250 deposit match and $10 in bonus bets.

Notably though, there is a $200 rollover with this offer so bettors need to wager a total of $200 before they can withdraw anything.

In addition to the high value, this offer is the most straightforward of any of the three. As opposed to Twinspires that has a bet threshold or FanDuel which has two different apps, everything is on one app and users don’t have to hit a wager threshold to get their bonus bets.

Users can easily claim this offer by signing up for a DRF Sportsbook account using the module above and inputting some relevant personal information. After that, users will get $10 in bonus bets. As expected, any bonus bets earned from this promotion cannot be withdrawn or cashed out.

To claim the deposit match, users need to make their first deposit within two weeks of establishing their account and it will be matched by DRF — up to $250.

So, if a user makes a deposit of $200 within the first 14 days of registering their DRF account, they’ll get $200 in bonus bets. After that point, they’ll have another two weeks to wager those bonus bets otherwise they will be voided.

Notably, only users’ first deposits will count towards this promotion and only real-money deposits will trigger this offer.
