    Are Fanduel bonuses a scam?

    Just heard a commercial on sports radio said new Fanduel accts. get up to $1000 bet refund but then it said bonus is issued as a non withdrawable site credit. So wth does that mean, you can never withdraw the money? How is that a welcome bonus or am I missing something? I've never used Fanduel before. Have no interest in using them but I'm curious what the deal is with these welcome bonuses they offer. They seem like scams to me if you can't withdraw the money ever.

    I'm way behind on these fanduel and Draftkings bonuses. Never used either site cause lines are juiced to hell and back. Didn't know about these bonuses. Casino near me has chiefs +100 first week nfl too. Wild promotions.

    Sounds like they might be describing a freeplay. The stake amount is not credited with winnings.

    It's site credit on fanduel which is basically like cash- so if you lose your first bet of $1,000 (and I would deposit and bet $1,000 on your first bet) they give you site credit which is like cash- you just have to bet through it 1x. check the rules on the timeframe to use the site credit.
