    FD made me an offer I cant refuse

    Place a SGP on the NFL divisional round and get up to 5 dollars back if it loses.

    Nothing at all would be far less insulting

    They've been sending these $5 promotions for awhile. Mickey mouse book.

    It's popular with the squares and rubes though so good for them.

    comical. and the best part too is the odds have to always be +400 or greater. heaven forbid you play one for $5 that is +300.

    But then last weekend they had a bet 200 get 100 win or lose promo. That was a really good one. It varies.

    that is with the SGP's for NFL for the weekend & is pretty good. i like that idea more as a reward for betting then just getting a random $5.

    Oh for sure. Nice part is you get 100 for betting 200 (SGP +400 or higher), win or lose. I won my +400 and then was a Mike Evans fingertips TD away from winning $26k on a $100 freeplay. That's why I've grown to hate those. Too much pain.

    Annnnnddd that’s why offshore/PPH will never go away. The bonuses are SO much better than these crap offers they’ll make onshore.

    2 days to hit bank account 5+ figures easy. Many times.

    2 days is pretty long. DraftKings if you withdraw at night its in the bank many times before you wakeup. ( 15k +)

    I think it's faster if it's a smaller amount with a debit card. I don't know. 2 days and never an issue doesn't bother me in the slightest. I've just accumulated DK for awhile, so I'm not sure these days -- awhile back I actually did paper checks.

    correct

    no domestic book tries to match at least somewhat with a good continuous deposit bonus plan. not 1.

    I still get upset when I didn't jump on the $5,000 Risk Free Promotion from Caesars. I thought for sure they'd run it again... NOPE.

    ^^Well when I cash out on my offshore books I get funded within a few hours via bitcoin.

    Bovada, BOL, BetDSI, Bookmaker, etc..

    I'm glad to hear Fan Druel pays out.

    I cash out back to my debit cards, which obviously is linked right to my bank account. During the week, I get it in my bank account within a few hours, if I request on the weekend, usually the next business day.

    DK and Caesar's usually within an hour on both weekdays and weekends.

    They are all pretty quick at paying out. Shouldn’t these dumb 5 dollar promos be sent to only accounts that are at zero and have a history of small bets at least?

    Ya'll sound like such big timers who do not actually value money. "Insulting"? lol

    If you would bend down to pick up a $5 note you dropped, then you care enough about money to take the same amount of time to bet every single free money promo like this.

    It's not even a gamble. It's a free shot.

    $5 on the ground is a gift. it comes out of nowhere. the expectation is no money on the ground so $5 is a nice little treat.

    $5 when you play cumulative thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even higher for some, is insulting.

    I think it’s more that FD are the biggest US book and they have had the weakest promos for some time. Clearly they think with their market position they don’t need to offer much in the way of promos.

    Promos and boosts can be OK, but weird that they have no loyalty rewards program. Pretty much everyone else does.
