pennstate10 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Apparently FanDuel is running a promo. https://account.nj.sportsbook.fanduel.com/promotions/Spread-the-Love-dec-28 Seems like a free $45. Or maybe there is some catch I'm missing. Edited December 27, 2020 by pennstate10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The last time they did one of these was the Clippers opening NBA playoff game. Something absurd like "you win if the Clippers win, or lose by 50 or fewer points." I read the fine print -- given the max bet and how the line was structured, their maximum exposure was something like a buck per account. I'll be checking out this one, though ... I'm not one to turn my nose up at $45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I bet one of these earlier this year (I think it was maybe a SF / Rams game? and it was easy money.

QCity Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 They do this from time to time, Draftkings had a special where you could bet the Chiefs +101 on opening day. Same business principle of a crack dealer giving you your first hit for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? It's parent company's US arm (which includes Fanduel) saw revenues up 80% in Q3 2020 and saw subscribers go up by 450,000. They are looking to make 1.1 billion next year. They are the market leader for online betting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a short time where it wasn't and was then remedied within a couple months I believe. You just have to stay in tax compliance with net winnings.
