8 North Carolina sports betting promos & sign-up bonuses to claim Thursday

We’re four days into North Carolina sports betting, but the action is just heating up with college basketball conference tournaments hitting their strides into the weekend.

Right now in NC, you can claim welcome offers from eight sportsbooks — everything from $250 in bonus bets from FanDuel NC to a $1,000 first bet safety net from bet365 North Carolina. Most of the offers must be used within seven days, so if you’re hoping to bet the NCAA Tournament next week, make sure to save some signups for Monday.

1. Fanatics Sportsbook Promo: Bet $20, get $200

Fanatics Sportsbook haꦿs two possible offers for new users in NC and all other Fanatics sta♒tes:

  • Bet $20, get $200 FanCash (which converts 1-1 to bonus bets): Easy enough!
  • $100 per day bet match for 10 days: For your first 10 days on the platform, your first bet of the day will be matched in FanCash, up to $100. So if you place a $50 bet as your first bet on Day 1, you’ll get $50, if you place a $100 bet, you’ll get $100.

If you plan on sticking with the promo for 10 days, it makes sense to take the bet match. Even if you make a $100 wager and go 5-5, you’ll be out $50 in cash but you’ll have $1,000 in FanCash. But if you don’t plan on maximizing it, or don’t want to bet everyday for 10 days, take the $200 in FanCash.

2. BetMGM Promo Code: $150 bonus bets

BetMGM bonus code  will earn you $150 in bonus bets after a $5 wager. Those bonus bets come back in six increments of $25, and you’ll have seven days to use them.

3. FanDuel Promo: Bet $5, get $250

FanDuel has a straightforward offer for North Carolina bettors — just bet $5, and you’ll get $250 no matter what.

The bonus bets can be used in any increment — meaning you can place a $1 bet 250 times or one $250 bet, and anything in between — and they expire in seven days.

Similar to Fanatics, FanDuel’s offer doesn’t require a specific promo code. Click the  or module to start at FanDuel.

4. DraftKings: Bet $5, get $250

For new users, DraftKings offers the same deal as FanDuel: bet $5 and gget $250 in bonus be🌃ts! This is one of the highest bonus bet offers in the market, tied 🌳with FD and Caesars.

5. bet365 Promo Code: $200 or $1,000 first bet safety net

North Carolina marks bet365’s 10th state, and they’ve got a slightly elevated offer for users in NC.

bet365 offers a choice between two sign-up bonuses. Register with bet365 bonus code NYPNEWS and sele🌱ct either a $1,000 first bet safety net or take advantage of the🐻 bet $5 and receive $200 in bonus bets offer.

  • With the $1,000 first bet safety net, you’ll get insurance of sorts: if your first bet loses, you’ll receive the same amount you bet in bonus bets, up to $1,000.
  • The bet/get offer allows users to wager $5 on any spread with odds of -500 or longer (-350 is acceptable, -550 is not) to receive $200 in bonus bets, regardless of the outcome.

If you’re going to maximize the safety net, take that, but if you only planning to deposit $500 or less, take the $200 in bonus bets.

6. ESPN BET Promo Code: Get $225 and $500 deposit match

𝕴ESPN BET, a newcomer to the sports betting scene since its launch in November 2023, has quickly gained momentum and is poised for the North Carolina online s🗹ports betting debut.

  • With ESPN BET promo code , you’ll get $225 in bonus bets after your first wager of any amount.
  • You’ll also get up to with your first deposit. Whatever you put in, you’ll get 200% extra in what ESPNBET calls “Eligible Cashback.”

The cashback unlocks very slowly, 5% at a time, and you only have 30 days to unlock it all. Here’s an example — say you deposited the max of $250 and placed a $100 bet on UNC. No matter what happens, you’ll get $5 added to your account, and you’ll have $495 available to unlock.

7. Underdog Promo: $1,000 mulligan on your first bet

Underdog, originating as a daily fantasy sports platform, has ventured into the online sp𝓰orts betting realm. North Carolina serves as its inaugural launch state, granting Tar Heel State bettors exclusive access.

Underdog Sports is giving you a first bet mulligan up to $1,000. It works like any “no sweat first bet” or “first bet insurance” — if your first wager on the platform loses, you’ll be refunded in bonus bets equal to what you lost.

8. Caesars Sportsbook Promo Code: Bet $10, get $250

With promo code , new customers can wager $10 and receive $250 in bonus bets, no matter what happens on your first b🗹💞et.

You’ll have 14 days to use the bonus bets, which are split up into five, $50 increments.
