New users can take advantage of promotional offers from DraftKings and FanDuel as the NFL season kicks off. Both sportsbooks are providing bonuses for those who place a $5 bet on the highly anticipated Chiefs-Chargers game.

DraftKings is offering $300 in bonus bets and a discount on the NFL Sunday Ticket for new accounts. To claim this offer, users need to sign up and place a $5 bet on the Chiefs-Chargers matchup. The bonus is awarded instantly, regardless of the outcome of the initial wager. This means that even if the $5 bet does not win, users will still receive the $300 in bonus bets and the NFL Sunday Ticket discount.

The Chiefs and Chargers are set to face off in São Paulo, Brazil, marking a unique setting for this AFC West rivalry. The Chiefs have dominated the division for years, but the Chargers are looking to make a strong challenge this season under head coach Jim Harbaugh.

In addition to the bonus, DraftKings is running several in-app promotions, including a parlay boost for NFL Week 1. Users can explore various betting options, including player props and pre-made parlays. For example, bettors can wager on players like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes to achieve specific performance milestones.

On the other hand, FanDuel is also enticing new players with a similar offer. By placing a $5 bet on the Chiefs-Chargers game or any other Week 1 matchup, users can receive a $300 bonus if their initial bet wins. FanDuel is providing a 60-1 odds boost, allowing players to turn any team into a significant underdog for betting purposes.

FanDuel's offer is available without a promo code. New users simply need to create an account, make a deposit, and place their $5 bet to unlock the bonus. This promotion is designed to enhance the betting experience during the opening week of the NFL season.

Both sportsbooks emphasize the importance of responsible gambling. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the terms and conditions of these offers and to gamble responsibly.
