Washington DC Sports Betting Promos & Bonuses: Best Offers for Jan. 2026

Other DC promo codes

DC sports betting may only have six sportsbook promos to choose from, but they cover a wide range of bonus types.

FanDuel and DraftKings have straightforward bet & get offers, though DraftKings has an additional deposit bonus to help you start funding your account. FanDuel also has the extra condition of having to win your first bet to collect the bonus.

Fanatics is a little more beginner-friendly, offering up to $2,000 in No Sweat Bets FanCash. Additionally, users can claim a bet $50, get $250 in FanCash welcome bonus. 

Currently, Caesars and BetMGM are the only sports betting apps requiring a promo code.

Bet responsibly with DC promos

Like most U.S. states, DC has put safeguards in place to ensure that bettors have a way out of any potential trouble spots. 

The DC chapter of the National Council on Problem Gambling (where the organization is based) is the district’s main resource for players who seek help. It provides access to treatment programs, screening tools and a host of self-help resources.

Sports to bet on with DC bonuses

It will come as no surprise to see a rather extensive list of major professional and amateur sports available to DC bettors; here are the marquee sports on which they can wager:

NFL 🏈

The U.S. capital is full of NFL fans – and they're blessed with two industry heavy hitters in Caesars and BetMGM who boast countless football betting markets. Whether you're looking to lay a futures wager on a Super Bowl hopeful, loading up on a player's rushing prop or making a few fun bets on the season-ending Big Game, DC sports betting sites have you covered.

NCAA Football 🏈

College football is, for most states, the No. 2 sport in terms of overall handle over the course of the sports calendar – and while that might surprise those who don't follow the sport, it is no shock to NCAA die-hards. From the Week 0 slate to the final batch of year-end bowl games, DC sports betting sites are here to serve with hundreds of markets for most games.

NBA 🏀

Capital One Arena – home to the NBA's Washington Wizards – made history on May 26, 2021, becoming the first North American sports venue in history to open a sportsbook on site. Fans can not only wager on the hometown team, they can also partake in any number of betting opportunities involving the rest of the league's 29 franchises. Check out some of the best NBA betting sites on the market, many of which are available in D.C.

NCAA Basketball 🏀

Are you looking for other basketball betting opportunities outside of the pros? Give NCAA hoops wagering a try! While DC bettors aren't permitted to wager on teams from within the district, they're welcome to bet on any other matchup – and there are a lot of markets available, especially as sportsbooks gear up leading into (and including) March Madness.

MLB ⚾

Nationals Park made history by hosting the first retail sportsbook inside of an MLB stadium when MGM Sportsbook opened its doors in 2022. However, the location closed in late 2025, citing a lack of foot traffic. The Nationals haven't been very good lately, which definitely drives down attendance. However, it's also easier for Nats fans to simply place bets on any available online sportsbook, eliminating the need for a retail location. 

NHL 🏒

Capital One Arena isn't just home to the Wizards – DC's NHL representative plays there, too. And that means up-close-and-personal betting opportunities for fans of the Washington Capitals. A 1,500-square-foot LED screen greets patrons outside the sportsbook – and once inside, they have access to several big-screen TVs along with 17 betting windows and 12 self-serve kiosks.

Golf ⛳

When it comes to individual sports, few compare with golf in terms of depth and breadth of betting markets – and those numbers should continue to grow over time. Bet on one player to win the tournament, another to finish in the top-10, and a third to miss the cut entirely – the number of betting opportunities is immense, particularly come major tournament time.

Soccer ⚽

It might be last on this list, but it is far from the lowest priority for sports bettors around the globe. Soccer has been part of the international betting scene for decades, and there are more than enough footy fanatics on this side of the pond to support the markets provided by the U.S. regulated heavy hitters. Many marquee matchups feature hundreds of wagering opportunities.
