- NBA begins the 2026-27 season on Tuesday, with Opening Night concluding at 9:30 p.m. ET in Spurs vs. Thunder and Thunder listed as a 1.5-point road favorite.
- FanDuel offers new users $50 in bonus bets per day for seven days after a daily $5-or-more wager, regardless of its outcome, for $350 total; each bonus bet expires seven days after receipt.
- DraftKings offers new users $200 in bonus bets and three months of NBA League Pass after a qualifying $5 wager, with bonus distributions collected through click-to-claim over 21 days.
- Fanatics awards $350 in FanCash after a first-time wager of at least $20 at minimum odds of -500 within seven days, paid as $50 daily with later credits requiring opt-ins; the FanCash cannot be withdrawn or redeemed for cash.
- BetMGM offers new users up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the first qualifying bet loses; in New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Michigan, a separate promotion provides $150 in bonus bets for a winning first bet of at least $10.
- bet365 gives new users $200 in bonus bets after a first $10 wager whether it wins or loses, but unused bonus bets expire within seven days and the offer must be claimed within 30 days.
- Hard Rock Bet offers 10 No Sweat Bet Tokens worth $500 after a first $5 wager at minimum odds of -500, with one token arriving daily and expiring at 11:59 p.m. that day; the promotion is listed for nine states.
Why it matters: New bettors gain access to sharply different welcome packages: BetMGM offers up to $1,500 after a losing first bet, while Fanatics pays $350 in non-withdrawable FanCash. Because many rewards expire quickly or require daily opt-ins, the advertised package value is not the same as cash returned.
