Sports fans across the country have a fresh incentive to tune in to the final full week of Major League Baseball before the postseason begins. FanDuel, one of the nation’s leading online sports‑betting platforms, is rolling out a promotion that gives new users a total of $250 in bonus bets. To qualify, participants must place a minimum wager of $5 each day for five straight days.
How the promotion works
Each day a qualifying bet is made, FanDuel credits the bettor’s account with a $50 bonus‑bet token. After five days of consistent wagering, the bettor will have accumulated five tokens, amounting to $250 in bonus bets that can be used on any eligible sporting event.
Key games to watch
The promotion coincides with a packed Tuesday schedule that includes 16 MLB games. Among the most compelling contests is the National League showdown between the Miami Marlins and the Chicago Cubs, slated to begin at 7:40 p.m. Eastern Time. The Cubs are fighting to secure the No. 1 Wild Card spot, while the Marlins are aiming to finish the season above .500.
Chicago’s lineup will be without Alex Bregman, who suffered a facial injury after being struck by a foul ball. Despite the loss, the Cubs remain a strong contender for the postseason. The Marlins, on the other hand, need a victory to improve their record and keep their playoff hopes alive.
Spotlight on Pete Crow‑Armstrong
Fans should also keep an eye on Cubs outfielder Pete Crow‑Armstrong, who is on pace to lead the National League with 45 home runs and sits third in the league with 107 RBIs. In addition to his power numbers, Crow‑Armstrong is just two stolen bases shy of joining the exclusive 40‑40 club—a milestone that requires at least 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a single season. He recorded a stolen base against the Marlins earlier this month and will be looking for another attempt tonight.
If Crow‑Armstrong adds a stolen base in the upcoming game, it could serve as the first successful wager in a bettor’s five‑day journey toward the $250 bonus. The promotion encourages bettors to spread their action across multiple games, offering flexibility to target favorable odds and matchups.
Why the promotion matters for bettors
Bonus‑bet offers like this one are designed to attract new participants to the regulated sports‑betting market, providing a low‑risk way to experience wagering. By requiring only a modest $5 daily stake, FanDuel makes the entry point accessible to a broad audience, including families who enjoy following sports together and want to add a little excitement to their game‑day routine.
All bonus bets are subject to the platform’s standard terms and conditions, including wagering requirements and expiration dates. Bettors should review the fine print on FanDuel’s website to ensure they understand how and when the tokens can be redeemed.
How to get started
Interested fans can sign up for a FanDuel account through the company’s website or mobile app. After completing the registration process and meeting the daily wagering threshold, the $50 bonus‑bet token will be automatically deposited into the user’s account each day. Once five tokens have been earned, the total $250 in bonus bets can be applied to any future eligible wagers.
This promotion runs only during the final full week of the regular MLB season, so bettors should act quickly to take advantage of the offer before the postseason begins.
