Kentucky Sports Betting Pre-Launch Offers

1. bet365

• Bonus code:NYPNEWS

The prominent sportsbook, bet365, known as the largest globally, has approached its U.S. expansion strategically. Presently, its accessibility is limited to merely five states, with the Ohio launch marking its inaugural entry into the American market. This occurred coincidently with Ohio’s initiation of sports betting.

An outstanding $365 bonus bet offer currently positions bet365 as a leader in the industry, surpassing the $200 in bonus bets offered in other states.

Kentucky emerges as the second state poised to embrace bet365’s presence, with ambitious aspirations to carve a significant niche. The sportsbook’s advanced product line aims to facilitate a rapid ascent within the market. Notably, bet365 boasts a compelling Same Game Parlay feature that stands out as a favorite among consumers.

An interesting facet of bet365’s bonus offer lies in its flexibility — the bonus bets are not restricted to predetermined increments. Instead, you have the liberty to utilize them in any desired amount.

This means you could opt for a series of 40 bets, each valued at $5, or alternatively, place a singular wager worth $200.

Terms and conditions to note about the offer:

• A deposit (minimum $10) is required to participate in this offer. The deposit must be made in the 7 days prior to you claiming the offer.
• Place qualifying bets of $1 or more to get $365 in Bonus Bets. Your qualifying bets must settle within 30 days of claiming the offer. Only qualifying bets placed and settled after claiming the offer will count towards releasing your Bonus Bets.
• Bets placed must meet certain conditions to count:
• Must contain at least one selection at odds of -500 or greater.

• Where a bet has been edited using our Edit Bet feature, only the new wager on the new bet will count.
• Fully Cashed Out, event-specific Bonus Bets placed by selecting ‘Use Bonus Bet’ from the bet slip, Live In Game bets which are settled as a push and bets deemed no action do not count.
• Your Bonus Bets are non-withdrawable and the Bonus Bets wager is excluded from any returns. Any returns from Bonus Bets placed will be added to your Withdrawable Balance. Bonus Bets cannot be used on certain products, offers/promotions and bet types. See full Terms and Conditions for details.

2. FanDuel

• Bonus code: No code; use this link

FanDuel holds a prominent status as the predominant market leader throughout the United States, and this precedent extends seamlessly to FanDuel Kentucky. The platform offers an expansive array of markets, featuring an outstanding same game parlay option.

Both same-game and tadeonal parlay betting is a big part of the market, and has played a pivotal role in making prop bets mainstream. This encompasses widely embraced options such as anytime touchdowns and NBA first basket wagers.

Similar to bet365, FanDuel extends a generous lump sum of $200 in bonus bets, granting you with the flexibility to spend them as you please.

How to use your bonus bets

Amidst this array of sportsbook promotions, It’s important to note that they are not giving you free cash. Rather, you’re being granted bonus bets, presenting an avenue to transform them into tangible cash winnings.

Bonus bets essentially function as credits, allowing you to retain any profits generated from your bonus bet wagers, but unlike regular cash wagers, you do not get back what wagered.
