Indiana Sportsbooks Release New NFL Promotions For Week 1

Football season is just around the corner.

The NFL’s opening game, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans, is set to return on Sept. 10. This marks the return of the most popular betting sport in the US.

Given the significant challenges college football has faced this year, NFL betting is likely to see an unprecedented surge in popularity.

Indiana’s online sportsbooks are vying for all the betting volume. In order to do so, they are launching promotions tailored specifically for the commencement of the football season.

Get a $101 bet for free with DraftKings

The most popular sportsbook in IN is aiming to attract new customers.

DraftKings has introduced a new promotion where gamblers will receive a free bet worth $101.

Only new users are eligible for the promotion.

To qualify, you must register with DraftKings. Once registered, your initial wager must be a minimum bet of $10 on the Chiefs-Texans game.

Be sure to place your bet before the game starts, as live bets and parlays won’t qualify you for the promotion.

The promo is being run by DraftKings from now until Aug. 31, so hurry to participate.

Should you decide to avail of the promotion, your bonus bet will be credited on September 1. As for utilizing your bonus bet, you will have numerous choices on what to use it for.

A great option for starters would be the season opener for the Indianapolis Colts. Their first game against the Jacksonville Jaguars will take place on Sept. 13.

However, using the bonus bet on football is not mandatory.

Don’t hesitate to explore and compare options. With the MLB, NFL, NBA postseason, and NHL playoffs, your betting choices are vast and varied.

DraftKings sportsbook will surely cover all bases for NFL promos, between offering bonus bets and running the Golden Ticket Promotion.

FanDuel is also prepared for the NFL with promotions.

The main competitor of DraftKings is also intensively preparing for the NFL season.

Despite FanDuel lacking features comparable to the bonus bet giveaway or the Golden Ticket promotion, the sportsbook will remain keen to attract additional football bettors.

Promotions of such magnitude may likely occur as the season approaches.

However, NFL betting will not be unavailable for FanDuel users.

Currently, the sportsbook is offering its Road to 55 Bonus in Indiana.

Place a wager of $50 or more on any NFL team to win the Super Bowl this season and earn an additional $5 in site credit for each regular season game that team wins.

FanDuel will be making vigorous efforts to control its portion of the NFL betting market.

This could imply that Hoosiers might have another Spread the Love promotion coming up.

The final football version of FanDuel’s Spread the Love elevated the Colts to +51 for their match against the Saints in December. The Colts effortlessly covered the absurd spread, essentially providing free money to all.

FanDuel may choose to counter the numerous attractive deals offered by DraftKings by using Spread the Love promotions.

PointsBet Colts booster

PointsBet enjoys conducting its Crowd Booster promotions, which are the same as the Spread the Love bets.

Currently, the sportsbook is featuring a Crowd Booster for the Colts’ inaugural game in Indiana.

For every 200 people who bet on the game, the spread moves in favor of the gamblers.

Currently, the Colts are favored by -4 for the game, down from an initial -7.

That could be a fantastic value, depending on how many people end up betting on the matchup.

No matter which among IN’s eight online betting apps you favor, numerous NFL betting options will still be available.

Everyone will be competing to take those football bets, resulting in more choices and better values for gamblers in Indiana.
