    Of course you should not.

    But I do not believe Fanduel has any rule restricting family members from taking bonuses if they join separately. (double check before taking that as gospel as things change)

    wish fanduel would do some similar offers to current customers.

    Honestly, compared to the rest of the regulated world, I'm surprised these big offers have lasted this long for any customer type.

    In general mainstream regulators don't want to see offers that either encourage people to start gambling if they otherwise would not, or encourage us to bet more than we normally would.

    That's the mantra that they all try to dance around anyway.


    Bottom line, don't miss the gravy train whilst it's still running.

    One Australian state even outlawed bet boost offers as breaching that ideology from Jan 1st.

    Seems like these legal books do not care. I know a lot of people who have done it with no problems. As long as you can provide the ID and use a different email, you should be fine. Just win your first bet and you’ll have no worries

    And the thing about this is most people wanna just bet like 5 or 10 bucks on something. This is asking you to bet 3k. Anyone who wants to bet 3k already has a Fanduel account.

    Do you have to live in one of the 18 states fanduel operates in to take advantage of this? I'd happily drive out of state for a free $3k bet, but I'd like to know I can place it before I leave.

    Thanks in advance.

    Post ITT? I saw that you were going to do it, or at least try to, but how do you know they'll accept your action on the free bet? Is it listed somewhere?

    Also, I have a fanduel fantasy account that I have never deposited or withdrawn from. Does anyone know if this would prevent me from getting the promo with a new sportsbetting account?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think you can. But email them and ask to make sure for yourself?

    You can join from your home state BTW. Just can't bet outside the book's state borders.

    Yes

    The game is being played at STATE FARM STADIUM ................no way MAHOMES will be allowed to lose a SB at that venue.

    There is no better angle in playing this game.

    I live in CA. Does it work if I drive to AZ and sign up for Fanduel with my CA ID?

    i would like to add that out of all the illinois accounts i have, fanduel was by far the worst... they totally froze my account for security purposes (like they have with countless others)... for months they held my money hostage for no reason

    just go on reddit under suspended fanduel accounts, not worth the hassle imho

    Whoa! I'm assuming that was because you're out-of-state?
    Otherwise, I've never heard of anyone having an issue.

    If it’s the same as other promos? you have to wait up to 72 hours. If ya lose. then it’s a basic “free play”, get only the winnings back

    The first 3k wager is a regular wager. If you win, you win. Cash. You can play, withdraw, whatever. It's only if you lose, then you wait up to 72 hours for the freeplay. You can then use that as a usual freeplay and can split into whatever denominations you want -- but typically FD freeplays must be used within 7 days. So keep that in mind.
