Arizona Sports Betting Promos

 

With legal sports betting now live in Arizona, the sheer number of online sportsbooks can be overwhelming. That's before you even get into who's offering what kind of sign-up bonus, who's got the best weekly sportsbook promotions, and how you can make the most out of the bonuses. There's a dizzying array of flashy ads and competing offers out there. Can you really get bonus bets from sportsbooks, and are they really free? (In both cases, often yes.)

This page will introduce the differences among some of these, and what you can expect from online sportsbooks in the way of bonus bets, promotions, and bonuses. With online betting, you can sign up with various sportsbooks and take advantage of whichever offer works for you. These offers can help ease your way into online sports betting, too, by minimizing your risk.

Here's what you need to know to claim the best bonuses and promotions at online sportsbooks in Arizona.

Arizona sportsbook bonus and promo codes

Sports bettors in Arizona have several different options to explore, but some sportsbooks just offer up more bang for the buck than others for new players. Here's a look at what's available for PlayInAZ readers followed by a closer look at what you need to know about each offer.

 

 

DraftKings Sportsbook Bonus

A slick platform with lots of great features has made DraftKings a go-to spot for scores of bettors in legal states. The two-part bonus offer is among the most generous that you'll find.

• $50 Bonus Bet On Deposit
• 20% Deposit Match Up To $1,000
• Use this link to qualify
• No promo code needed

Once you sign up off of our links and make a deposit (minimum of $5), DraftKings will credit you with a $50 bonus bet. You can use it to bet on anything you'd like, and any winnings obtained will be yours to keep.

The second part of the offer is a 20% deposit match up to $1,000. If you deposit $1,000, you'll get a $200 match, a $100 match for a $500 deposit, and so on. As you wager on site, the bonus will be released at a rate of $1 for every $25 you bet.

The $50 bonus bet must be used within 30 days of signing up, so use it or lose it. To clear the maximum amount you're eligible for with the deposit match, you'll have 90 days to complete the playthrough requirement.

Caesars Sportsbook Bonus

Caesars has been making its presence felt in a big way in recent times. They manage to back up the hype with a great product. The bonus offer is incredibly generous to boot.

• First Bet Is On Caesars Up to $1,250 
• Create a new account here
• Enter the promo code LEGALFULL

While this offer is good for up to $1,250 + 1000 Tier Credits + 1000 Reward Credits®, it is based on your first initial bet. After signing up with our links, you'll have three days to make your first deposit of at least $50 and qualify.

To get the ball rolling with the bonus bet, you have to make your first deposit on site. The minimum to qualify for the offer is $20, but it's good up to the max of $1,000. After your account is loaded, you can place your first bet with a little insurance.

BetRivers Sportsbook Bonus

BetRivers might not be as well-known as some other Arizona online sportsbooks, but it's still a solid choice if you want to bet on sports using your computer or mobile device.

• 2nd Chance Bet Up to $500
• Visit BetRivers Sportsbook
• Use the promo code PLAYRIV

With its 2nd Chance Bet offer, BetRivers Arizona gives first-time depositors a chance to try again should they fail to win their first wager on the site. If your first wager loses, you receive a Bet Credit equal to your stake up to a maximum of $500. Note that to qualify for the offer, your first bet can be on any sports offering with odds -200 or greater (e.g., -150, +150, etc.). 

If your bet does lose, you'll receive the Bet Credit within 24 hours. The Bet Credit will expire 30 days after it is issued, so be sure to place it. If you win your bet, you'll receive the winnings, but not the amount wagered (unlike traditional bets).

FanDuel Sportsbook Bonus

One of the most user-friendly online sportsbooks available, FanDuel has also become a preferred option for tons of bettors. You even get to try it out in a bonus fashion.

• No Sweat First Bet Up To $1,000
• Use this link to create an account
• No promo code needed

After you sign up with our links and make a deposit, you're eligible to place your first bet in bonus fashion up to a max of $1,000. The deposit can be a smaller amount if you want, but the offer only applies to your first placed bet.

If you deposit $250, place a bet for that amount and lose, you get $250 back in site credit which can then be used to place more bets. It can take up to three days for the credit to hit your account, but it'll typically happen much quicker than that.

Sports betting promotions & bonus bets guide

The specifics of how to claim a bonus or bonus bet offer vary from site to site. This is often a case where you need to read the rules for each sportsbook to make sure you can claim your promotion. You also can consult the specific terms and conditions associated with any promotion for precise details. There are two basic styles: Either you have to deposit or you don't. The second kind, you can probably guess, is not as common. They do happen, however, especially during big events like the Super Bowl.

No matter which style it is, many sportsbook promos will require a code to unlock. And once you've made an account at the sportsbook, you can redeem the code. Commonly, the field to redeem the code will be on your account page, deposit page, or registration page if you're signing up for a new account.

There also are some promotions that you don't use a code for. Instead, the sportsbook automatically adds them to your account when something specific happens, like you make a deposit of a certain amount, you lose a certain amount, or you open a new account.

Bonus bets are one of the most popular and sought-after bonuses in online betting. It's just more fun to gamble when it's not your money. They also may let you make a different or bigger bet than you usually might because there's less risk involved. Read the promotion carefully, however, as some of these require a minimum deposit, or might want you to enter a code somewhere or check a box to opt into the offer. Also, note that bonus bet offers always require you to register for an account with the sportsbook and enter a valid payment method.

Some of the promotions you come across will be no deposit bonuses (you don't have to make a deposit to claim the bonus bet). You also will see deposit matching bonuses. These increase based on how much you deposit. No deposit bonuses are usually smaller, limited amounts, like $5 or $10, while deposit matches often simply match 100% of your deposit, effectively doubling it, up to a set amount.

The different types of sportsbook bonuses in Arizona

You're going to discover that there is no real "set" style of bonus or promo at online sportsbooks. Some are similar, of course, but there is a lot of variety out there. Here are some of the more common bonus bets and bonuses you'll find at the top  sportsbooks like DraftKings in Arizona.

• bonus bets: This starts with you making a wager. If you win, you get your payout just like normal. If you lose, however, you receive a refund, usually in the form of a bonus bet. There are often requirements for this kind of bonus, so make sure to read the terms and conditions before making your first wager.
• Bonus bets: These are by far some of the most popular sportsbook bonuses. Look at these like you're making bets with money that the sportsbook has provided. There are usually rules associated with these bonuses. You might have restrictions on the type of bet you can place or the sport you can bet on. Keep in mind that, in most cases, if you win your bet, you'll get the winnings but not the bonus bet amount you wagered itself.
• Match bet: This is mostly just a bonus bet. You use your own money that you've deposited in your account to make a bet. If you win, then great. If you lose, however, you will get a credit in your account for the same amount you bet with. A typical match bet offer is 100% up to $500.
• No deposit bonus bet: This is a free wager you get to make at the sportsbook that offers it. You have to register for an account, of course, but you don't need to risk any of your own money at all. Instead, you get an amount  (usually $5 or $10) that you can bet with. If you win, you'll have to meet a "requirement" to cash out the winnings. That is typically playing through the amount 10 to 15 times. Once you've met that requirement, you can withdraw the money if you wish.
• Deposit match: With this bonus, the sportsbook will match the amount you deposit. The match is typically for 100%, but sometimes less. There will also be a cap on the amount that the sportsbook will match. You'll need to reach a required number of playthroughs before the matched amount actually becomes available to withdraw. Make sure to read all the terms and conditions before depositing your funds.

Sportsbook promos after the initial bonus

Many of the more popular Arizona sportsbooks like Fanduel or BetMGM AZ also offer promotions to existing account holders.

These bonuses range from profit boosts to odds boosts and sometimes even free sports bets. Do a little research on the various sportsbooks to see which promotions you like.

Sportsbook bonus terms and conditions

We cannot stress this enough: Always read the terms and conditions. Within those, which you must agree to in order to open an account, are all the rules the sportsbook uses.

When will the sportsbook cancel a bet? It's in the terms and conditions. What constitutes a completed NFL game? That's also in the terms and conditions. What kind of deposit and withdrawal methods can I use? That info will be in the same place.

Don't worry if you clicked "accept" without reading the terms and conditions. You can always find them on the sportsbook website.

There also are more terms and conditions you should read whenever possible, and those are the rules governing bonuses and promotions. Some will have requirements that you need to meet in order to withdraw winnings. Others will have rules for what kind of bets you can make using the bonus.

Downloading a sports betting app

When it comes to getting yourself set up with a sportsbook app, the process is easy. Most sportsbooks have links on their homepage for you to click to head right to the download page.

After you've downloaded the app you can make your account active if you haven't already. To do that, you will need to input personal details such as the last four digits of your Social Security number (all legal and regulated sportsbooks require these details), your address, and your contact information.

With a sportsbook on your mobile device, you'll be able to place wagers from anywhere within Arizona state lines. You also can usually access your account from anywhere, not just Arizona. You cannot, however, place a bet from anywhere other than the Grand Canyon State.

Sportsbook Bonus FAQ

What is the typical no deposit bonus amount?

It really depends on the sportsbook, but the usual amount you'll come across will be either $5 or $10.

Do I have to bet a certain amount before I can cash out?

Most bonuses are going to have a requirement you need to meet before you can cash out your winnings, and a large amount of those will be "playthroughs" or a set amount you need to wager before you're able to withdraw the funds. The actual requirement will vary, but you can find out what each one is by reading the terms and conditions prior to accepting the bonus.

Will I need a bonus code?

Sometimes. Some sportsbooks don't require one at all and you can claim a bonus by signing up or meeting some other requirement. For the sites that do require one, you'll be able to find many codes on this site.
