Top 5 Best Sportsbooks to bet on NFL Week 15

Somehow, we’ve already reached Week 15 of the NFL season. The week got underway on Thursday and continued into Saturday. At this point, we have four games in the books. On Sunday, there’s a typical loaded 11 game slate before the week wraps up in Seattle on Monday night. Divisional races, wild-card mayhem, draft positioning, starting jobs and contracts for next season are all in play as we enter the final month of the regular season.

Even though it’s getting late in the NFL regular season, it’s certainly not too late to explore the sportsbooks across Michigan to take advantage of a new and useful sign-up offer. These sportsbooks are competing year-round for your business, and the holiday season is an especially important one for the books. We’ve done the work and ranked the current top five sportsbooks for Michigan bettors.

DraftKings Sportsbook has three different sign-up offers for new users. By fully utilizing these offers, new users can unlock up to $1,200 in bonus funds. Here’s a breakdown of the three offers:

• Sign up and deposit at least $5 to get $50 in bonus funds. You need to wager the bonus funds once before being able to withdraw them.
• Bet $5 and receive $150 in bonus bets. Simply register for a new account, deposit $5, place a wager using your real-money balance, and get $150 in bonus bets, regardless of whether your original wager wins or loses. The bonus bets expire within seven days.
• Get a 20% deposit match on your first deposit, with a maximum bonus of $1,000. To maximize this offer, you would need to deposit $5,000. The bonus is released incrementally, giving you $1 in bonus funds for every $25 wagered until the entire bonus is released.

DraftKings is recognized as a leading player in the industry due to its diverse range of promotions and multiple payment options. Their desktop and app interfaces are user-friendly, earning them a high 9.7 overall grade in the latest MLive review.

BetMGM established its presence in Michigan shortly after the legalization of sports betting in January 2021 and remains a top choice for sports bettors nearly three years later. Offering a comprehensive array of features, including diverse betting and banking options, along with numerous promotions, BetMGM continues to stand out in the market. In a recent review by the MLive staff, BetMGM Sportsbook’s offerings left a positive impression.

New users signing up for a BetMGM Sportsbook account can benefit from a stress-free initial bet valued at up to $1,500. By using the promo code MLIVEMGM during sign-up, users receive their first wager refunded in bonus bets if it doesn’t result in a win. Notably, this promotion boasts the industry’s highest cap of $1,500 for this type of offer.

The introductory offer for new users at Caesars Sportsbook closely mirrors the one previously mentioned by BetMGM. New users have the opportunity to receive a second chance bet valued at up to $1,000 in case their initial wager doesn’t result in a win. In simple terms, if your first bet with Caesars Sportsbook is unsuccessful, they will provide a refund in the form of a bonus bet, with the maximum promotional value set at $1,000. To unlock this promotion, be sure to use the promo code SLMLIVE1000 during the registration process.

Caesars Sportsbook is renowned for its exceptional user experience and rewards program. The rewards program is seamlessly integrated with the physical locations of Caesars, allowing bets made on your phone in Michigan to contribute towards earning complimentary meals or rooms during your future visits to the Las Vegas strip. In their latest review on MLive, Caesars achieved a flawless 10.0 score for user experience.

For a considerable period, FanDuel held a clear lead as the top choice for online sports betting. Despite increasing competition, FanDuel Sportsbook remains an essential option for serious sports bettors. Their excellent mobile app, featuring favorable odds and an extensive range of betting markets, contributes to their continued appeal. Although the absence of a loyalty program is a drawback, FanDuel still earned a commendable 9.6 overall score in the latest MLive review.

New users signing up for FanDuel Sportsbook can enjoy $150 in bonus bets if their initial $5 moneyline wager is successful. Irrespective of the game’s odds, FanDuel offers an enticing 30-to-1 odds on the first moneyline bet. It’s important to note that winning the original bet is necessary to claim this FanDuel welcome offer, and bonus bets expire within seven days of being credited to your account.

While BetRivers may fall short in terms of aesthetics, sporting an outdated design and a less-than-ideal mobile app, they compensate for this with their distinctive qualities. Despite the visual shortcomings, BetRivers shines with its impressive daily promotions, a rewarding rewards program, and competitive odds. For a more comprehensive overview of what BetRivers Sportsbook brings to the table for bettors, you can delve into the detailed BetRivers review available here.

For those considering adding another sportsbook to their repertoire, BetRivers presents a compelling sign-up offer for new customers. In the event that your initial wager results in a loss, they offer to refund your first bet as a bonus bet, with a cap set at $500. This serves as an effective means to alleviate the stress associated with your initial bet. Remember to use promo code SPORTS.
