- DraftKings, FanDuel and Fanatics all run "bet and get" promos for motor sports: DraftKings returns $150 in bonus bets after a $5 wager, FanDuel returns up to $250 across five $5 bets, and Fanatics gives $350 in FanCash after a $20 wager.
- BetMGM covers a user's first bet up to $1,500 in bonus bets if it loses, while Caesars Sportsbook offers up to $250 in bet reset tokens for new users.
- Kalshi and Polymarket — federally regulated prediction markets — offer motor sports trading, with Kalshi giving $55 in credits for a $25+ initial trade and Polymarket giving $25 in credits for a $10 deposit.
- DraftKings Sportsbook odds for the October 11, 2026 Singapore Grand Prix (as of October 5, 2026) list Max Verstappen at +250, Andrea Kimi Antonelli at +450, Lando Norris at +550, and both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton at +700.
- NASCAR Crown Jewel events highlighted are the Daytona 500, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte and the Brickyard 400, with Talladega Speedway noted as culturally famous via the film "Talladega Nights" though not a Crown Jewel event.
- F1 marquee races named include Monaco, the British GP at Silverstone, the Italian GP at Monza, the Singapore GP and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, plus recently added special stops in Miami and Las Vegas; IndyCar's marquee event is the Indianapolis 500 on Memorial Day weekend.
- Dead-heat payouts are graded differently by sportsbooks: the guide specifies that FanDuel applies half the stake at original odds and forfeits the other half, with stakes proportioned further when more than two drivers tie.
Why it matters: The promo economics for new motor sports bettors have compressed to a near-universal $5 entry point — DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics and BetMGM all structure around small initial wagers — but the ceilings vary sharply, from $150 at DraftKings to $1,500 in first-bet coverage at BetMGM. Meanwhile, Kalshi and Polymarket offer federally regulated trading alternatives to traditional sportsbooks, expanding how fans can take positions on F1, NASCAR and IndyCar outcomes.
