Sportsbooks in the United States of America offer bonuses and promotions to new and existing customers.
Dimers uses only the most trusted sportsbooks across the US to ensure you enjoy safe, secure online betting.
You'll find the likes of Bet365, FanDuel Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, BetMGM and other books available in your state on our site, all of whom have special offers and promotions available as you join. When you reach this point be sure to use the exclusive promo codes available to you through Dimers.
Many of the promotions you'll see do involve first bet insurances, so let's get into what they mean right now.
First bet offers are often given to a bettor once they've registered with a particular book. The dollar amount can vary, though there are some sportsbooks offering $5,000 first bet insurance upon sign up.
If your first bet loses, you'll be refunded the same amount in the form of bonuses.
If your first up bet wins, the payout is all yours. That's it, no need to think any further. Although if it doesn't, well that's where things get a little more complex. Care to learn why? Please read on, we're getting to it, promise!
You place a $1,000 first time bet on the LA Lakers moneyline (+100) vs. the Nuggets. If the Lakers win, you receive a payout as normal – and have $2,000 sitting in your account.
But, if the Lakers lose, you receive $1,000 in bonus bets. Just remember that no stress bets aren’t always completely risk free. So make sure that you check out our responsible gambling page to see how you can bet safely on sport while using deals like these.
Not usually.
Almost every sportsbook bonuses and promotions you come across won't give back your stake on a bonus bet – they keep that, and probably rightly so, it was their money after all.
Of course if you win your first up bet you'll take home your winnings (profit), just not the stake they gave you to win it in the first place.
With a bonus bet, the goalposts shift and you usually only receive the winnings – no stake returned.
Example:Â You decide to place a $200 bonus bet on the Cowboys (+200) to cover the spread (+3) at Kansas City.
If the Cowboys lost 28-26, you would win the bet and receive a payout of $400. This of course, doesn't include the initial stake, that $200 bonus bet.
To clarify, if this were a standard bet – rather than bonus – you would have received a total payout of $600 in this case ($400 profit + your $200 stake).
This depends on the sportsbook. The sports betting in my state is quite different from others I've come across. This is why we recommend you read the terms and conditions regarding each sportsbook.
If your first-time bet fails, some sportsbooks will give you bonus bets or site credit, which often enables you to wager the bonus however you like. How do no stress bets work in this context? With no stress bets, you’re typically refunded your stake if the bet loses, mostly in the form of site credit or a bonus bet, which you can then use on future wagers.
Ideally, you can break this up into smaller chunks to decrease risk and increase flexibility. Others will offer you a bonus bet strictly usable for just one wager. Not the most ideal situation, so keep this in mind when conducting your betting research.
Sadly, bonus bets cannot be converted into cash. It is simply for use with the sportsbook app or website.
You can withdraw winnings from a bonus bet, although some books make you turn over those winnings a number of times first.
