FanDuel offers $200 in bonus bets for new users

FanDuel is launching a promotional offer that gives new users up to $200 in bonus bets. To receive the maximum payout, customers must place a wager of at least $5 on four consecutive days. The promotion coincides with the start of NFL Week 9, featuring a matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens.

The Jaguars host the Ravens on Thursday night. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Bookmakers have set the Jaguars as 9.5-point favorites. The total points line for the contest stands at 39.5. Sports analysts point to this specific game as a suitable target for the new betting offer.

One recommended play involves betting on the over for the 39.5-point total. The odds for this wager are -110. The low scoring projection is largely due to the Ravens using a third-string quarterback. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, a former UConn player, started last week after injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley during a loss to the Buffalo Bills.

In that recent start, Fagnano completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and threw one interception. Despite the uncertainty at the quarterback position, the Jaguars have scored more than 30 points in three of their last five games. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, predicts the over will hit in 64% of simulations for this matchup.

Another suggested bet focuses on running back Derrick Henry. A prop bet offers odds of -113 on Henry exceeding 68.5 rushing yards. Although the Jaguars possess the league's best rushing defense, analysts expect Baltimore to rely heavily on Henry. The SportsLine props model projects Henry will accumulate 86.8 rushing yards in the game, indicating value on the over 68.5 line.

The promotion is part of a wider strategy for bettors across various leagues. The SportsLine team provides picks for MLB, college football, and other sports based on their simulation data. FanDuel offers tools to help users manage their activity, including deposit limits, betting spend limits, and self-exclusion measures. The company encourages bettors to use these features to maintain healthy habits.

For individuals who may have a problem with gambling, FanDuel provides a resource line at 1-800-RESET. New users are advised to review the full terms and conditions of the offer to ensure they understand the requirements for claiming the bonus bets.
