I was in New Jersey in January and got to try it out first hand. My account of that appears here. Actually, it\u2019s not just DraftKings that\u2019s offering this type of incentive, so the information here should apply (in most part) to similar bonus offers you encounter. Here\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n<p>The key is your first wager after opening a sports betting account. The amount of that first bet determines the size of the free bet, which you\u2019ll use by itself on a future wager. From what I could ascertain, the free bet is accepted on all propositions offered\u2014including wagers with big favorite and underdog lines, parlays, teasers, etc. I bet the $500 maximum at -136 on my first wager after signing up, then used the free bet on a $500 2-team parlay at +229. I won both bets for a total profit of $1,516, with $1,146 of it coming on the free bet. Only the winnings (not the free-bet amount)\u00a0are returned on a winning free-bet wager, but you also lose nothing if it loses.<\/p>\n<p>While there may be restrictions on some wagers or a cut-off point at extreme take and lay numbers, all in all the DK sports betting bonus is exactly what it\u2019s promoted to be.\u00a0Note that you don\u2019t have to live in New Jersey to <em>fund<\/em> an account. You just have to be there to <em>bet<\/em>. So this is really something that anyone who goes to Atlantic City or lives in a nearby state can do.<\/p>\n<p>If you live in New Jersey or go there to bet sports, you can get in on this DraftKings bonus, plus get your choice of several incentive packages made up of our books, software, strategy cards, or <em>LVA<\/em> membership by going to our home page and clicking on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/gambling-with-an-edge\/exclusive-sportsbook-offer\/\">LVA Sign-Up Incentives<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lasvegasadvisor\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:48px;height:48px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px;\"><img alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" style=\"display: inline; width:48px;height:48px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/gambling-with-an-edge\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/96x96\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LVA_Tweet\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:48px;height:48px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px;\"><img alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" style=\"display: inline; width:48px;height:48px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/gambling-with-an-edge\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/96x96\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-youtube nolightbox\" data-provider=\"youtube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Find us on YouTube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/LasVegasAdvisorSHOW\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:48px;height:48px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px;\"><img alt=\"youtube\" title=\"Find us on YouTube\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" style=\"display: inline; width:48px;height:48px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/gambling-with-an-edge\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/96x96\/youtube.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-48 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-instagram nolightbox\" data-provider=\"instagram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Check out our instagram feed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lasvegasadvisor\" style=\"font-size: 0px; width:48px;height:48px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;\"><img alt=\"instagram\" title=\"Check out our instagram feed\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" style=\"display: inline; width:48px;height:48px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; box-shadow: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/gambling-with-an-edge\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/96x96\/instagram.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re getting a lot of questions about how the DraftKings free bet works.
