DraftKings Promo Offers $150 in Bonus Bets
DraftKings is rolling out a promotional offer for new customers: $150 in bonus bets after placing a qualifying first wager of at least $5. The offer is available for Sunday’s slate, which includes the Atlanta Braves–Milwaukee Brewers baseball game and the Tennessee Titans–Seattle Seahawks NFL preseason matchup.
According to CBS Sports, the first pitch for the Braves–Brewers game is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, while the Titans–Seahawks game is the lone NFL preseason contest of the day, kicking off at 8 p.m. ET. No promo code is required to claim the offer, but users must be of legal age in a state where DraftKings operates and must be new to the sportsbook.
How to Claim the Bonus
The steps to claim the bonus are straightforward, as outlined by both CBS Sports and WTOP. New users need to select “Claim Bonus” on the DraftKings page, create an account by providing personal information including the last four digits of their Social Security number, agree to the terms and conditions, deposit at least $5, and place a first bet of at least $5.
The reporting outlets differ slightly on how the bonus is disbursed. CBS Sports says users receive two $25 bonus bets every seven days via click-to-claim. WTOP, on the other hand, describes the bonus as six $25 bonus bets, with two issued instantly, two on Day 7, and the final two on Day 14. Both agree that each batch of bonus bets is valid for seven days after receipt. Bonus bets hold no cash value, and payouts do not include the stake, as CBS Sports notes.
Braves vs. Brewers: Pitching and Odds
The Braves and Brewers, both division leaders, are set to wrap up a three-game series. CBS Sports states the game takes place in Milwaukee, while WTOP mentions Williamsport as the venue, with the Brewers designated as the home team. The pitching matchup, according to CBS Sports, features Logan Henderson for the Brewers against Martin Perez for the Braves.
Henderson, per CBS Sports, has a 2.70 ERA with 75 strikeouts over 63 1/3 innings and is coming off his best start against the Dodgers. Perez gave up four earned runs over five innings in his last start but had 16 scoreless innings in his previous three appearances, holding a 3.15 ERA.
The over/under for the game is set at 7.5 runs, as reported by both outlets. CBS Sports lists Milwaukee as a -132 favorite and Atlanta as a +114 underdog. WTOP provides additional context: the Brewers are 62-33 when favored this season and 45-23 as the home team, while the Braves are 33-32 away and 14-18 as underdogs. Offensively, the Brewers have scored 644 runs with a .733 team OPS, and the Braves have scored 610 runs with 383 extra-base hits and a .411 slugging percentage. WTOP also notes that when Milwaukee is favored, the Under has hit 56.8% of the time, and when Atlanta is the underdog, the Under hits 65.6%.
Titans vs. Seahawks: Preseason Preview
CBS Sports reports that the Titans are coming off a second consecutive 3-14 season, with Brian Callahan fired mid-year. Robert Saleh has taken over as coach, and Cam Ward, a former No. 1 pick, is expected to play a handful of series against the Seahawks. The Seahawks are the defending Super Bowl champions, per CBS Sports. The two teams held joint practices, and key players are likely to play sparingly. The Titans are 4.5-point favorites at home, with the over/under set at 38.5.
