FanDuel

Mobile Betting
Bet $5, Get $300 Guaranteed

Win or lose — bonus bets credited

How to claim: Download the FanDuel app, register with your name, address, date of birth, and last four of your SSN, confirm you are 21+ and physically inside Arkansas, then make a qualifying deposit and place the qualifying first bet.

New users in Arkansas get the standard FanDuel "Bet $5, Get $300 in Bonus Bets" welcome offer. Place any qualifying $5+ first bet and the bonus credits regardless of outcome. Bonus bets must be wagered within 7 days and can be split across multiple wagers. There is no rollover requirement on winnings — once a bonus bet wins, the profit is withdrawable cash.

How Arkansas Welcome Bonuses Work

Most Arkansas sportsbook welcome offers fall into one of three structures:

  • First-bet bonus bets. Place a qualifying first bet and receive matching bonus bets regardless of outcome (FanDuel, DraftKings).
  • First-bet refund. If your first bet loses, you get a refund up to a stated cap, typically as bonus bets.
  • Deposit match. The book matches a percentage of your first deposit as bonus credit, usually with rollover requirements before withdrawal (BetSaracen).

Bonus bets are not the same as cash. When a bonus bet wins, only the profit is credited as withdrawable cash — the original stake does not return. Always read the specific terms in the operator app before opting in, since promotional structures change frequently.

Eligibility

To claim any Arkansas welcome offer you must be 21 or older, physically located inside Arkansas state lines (verified by app geolocation), and a new user at that operator. You do not need to be an Arkansas resident — visitors from other states can claim offers while inside Arkansas.

Responsible Gambling

Promotions can encourage betting beyond your normal bankroll. Set a deposit limit before claiming any welcome offer, and never chase a bonus with money you cannot afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, contact the Arkansas Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700 or call 1-800-GAMBLER.
