FanDuel, one of the most popular sports betting platforms in the US, has recently updated its bonus offer for new bettors in Massachusetts and Ohio. Previously, the promotion was their infamous “Bet $5, Get $300,” but it has now been adjusted to “Bet $5, Get $150.”
While the total bonus amount has been reduced, the new offer still presents a great opportunity for sports bettors to get started with FanDuel. On top of that, you can also take advantage of daily boosts and bonuses throughout the summer.

If you’ve taken advantage of a FanDuel promo before, then chances are you’re already a user, and this isn’t applicable. However, if you’re new to the platform, here’s the details—
Registration. New users need to sign up for a FanDuel account. There’s no way around this. As with any sportsbook, you have to be a first-time user and create an account.
First-time deposit. A first-time deposit of $10 or more is required. Sure, you only have to bet $5, but they do require $10 in your account to activate the bonus.
First bet. Place your first real-money bet of $5 on any live FanDuel Sportsbook market. There are no other restrictions.
Bonus bets. Within 72 hours of winning your bet, you will receive $150 in bonus bets in your account balance.
That’s still not a bad bonus offer, especially coming from a nationally-known sportsbook like FanDuel. There are other ones we like more, but we always encourage you to take advantage of all of the sportsbooks in your state.
The promotion is available exclusively through the FanDuel app. That shouldn’t be a big deal because the FanDuel sportsbook app is very well done. Here’s what you need to do to claim the latest MA and OH bonus offer.
Download the FanDuel app. Available on both iOS and Android, the app provides a smooth and easy-to-use interface for all sports betting. It’s one of the nicer apps we’ve tried.
Sign up and deposit. Register for a new account and make your first-time deposit of at least $10. This process takes around 2-3 minutes, which also includes the time it takes to verify your account.
Place your bet. Place a $5 bet on any live sports market. We’re constantly pushing out expert picks, so take a look around and see what you want to bet on. After all, we want you to win!
Receive your bonus. If your bet wins, you will receive $150 in bonus bets within 72 hours. If your bet doesn’t win, well, you’re only out $5.
For desktop users, a post-registration popup will appear, prompting you to download the app to claim the offer. Mobile web users will also be instructed to download the app to make their deposit and activate the promotion. The key here is that you must use the app to get the bonus.
In addition to the initial $150 bonus, FanDuel is offering daily boosts and bonuses to keep the sports betting excitement going all summer long. With MLB in full swing, that’s not a bad deal. We love taking advantage of odds boosts on player props!
These daily promotions provide a little bit more value, even if you’re a novice. The little boosts add up to a lot of money in the long run.
Sometimes, the boosts come in the form of enhanced odds (aka the odds boosts) or even their iconic parlay boosts. However, if you sign up for their newsletter and keep logging into the app, you’ll find that they also offer bonus bets from time to time.
FanDuel’s updated “Bet $5, Get $150” promotion for new users in MA and OH may seem like a downgrade from the previous offer, but it still gives you the potential for more cash in your pocket. And, in reality, they’re simply getting these two states on par with the national bonus offer.
Even if you lose your bet and don’t get the $150 bonus bets, there’s still a lot of value in playing at FanDuel. Between the daily boosts and bonuses throughout the summer, you’ll be inundated with bonus offers.
