New sports betting promotions are available this weekend, featuring offers from FanDuel and Bet365. Both sportsbooks are providing bonuses for new users as Major League Baseball (MLB) games, NFL preseason matchups, and UFC 319 fights take center stage.

FanDuel is offering a $300 bonus for new users who create an account. To qualify, users must place a $5 bet on any MLB game, such as the Cubs versus the Blue Jays. If the bet wins, the user will receive $300 in bonus bets. This promotion coincides with a weekend filled with significant MLB matchups, including the Braves facing the Mets and the Mariners playing the Orioles.

While some MLB teams will not be playing on Thursday, there are still plenty of betting options available. The Cubs-Blue Jays series is a highlight, and other games like the Marlins against the Guardians and the Phillies versus the Nationals also present opportunities for bettors. It is important to note that the initial $5 bet must win for users to receive the bonus.

To claim the FanDuel offer, users need to follow a simple registration process. This includes providing personal information and making an initial deposit using a secure payment method. Once the $5 bet is placed and wins, the $300 in bonus bets will be credited to the user's account, which must be used within one week.

Meanwhile, Bet365 is also rolling out a welcome offer for new users. By using the bonus code WEEK365, users can claim a $150 bonus by placing a $5 bet on any market. This offer is particularly appealing as the NFL preseason kicks off, with games like the Titans against the Falcons and the Chiefs facing the Seahawks scheduled for Friday.

Bet365 also provides a $1,000 first bet safety net. If a user's initial bet loses, they will receive a bonus refund equal to the stake. For example, a $600 bet on the Phillies to win would allow the user to potentially win big, while also providing a $600 bonus refund if the bet does not succeed.

To take advantage of the Bet365 offer, users must enter the bonus code WEEK365 during the account setup. After providing necessary personal details and making a deposit, users can place their first bet to activate the bonus. Like FanDuel, any bonus bets received must be used within one week before they expire.

Both sportsbooks are also offering in-app promotions, including profit boosts and other rewards for various sports. Users are encouraged to check the apps daily for the latest offers and betting opportunities.
