DraftKings and FanDuel Launch Week 1 NFL Acquisition Offers
New user promotions from two major sportsbooks feature differing bonus bet structures as the NFL season kicks off.
DraftKings and FanDuel have introduced competing promotional offers targeting new users ahead of the NFL Week 1 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants, according to reporting from CBS Sports.
DraftKings is offering new users $200 in bonus bets following an initial wager of $5 or more. Per CBS Sports, these bonus bets are paid out within a 21-day window.
FanDuel's current promotion offers a higher potential ceiling, providing up to $350 in bonus bets. This offer is triggered by making a $5+ bet for seven consecutive days, starting with the Sunday NFL slate, as detailed by CBS Sports.
Both operators are leveraging these incentives as the industry enters the 2026 NFL season. The promotions coincide with a high-profile Sunday Night Football game featuring the Giants, who CBS Sports notes are led by new head coach John Harbaugh and rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
