New sports bettors can take advantage of promotional offers from FanDuel and DraftKings this weekend, featuring UFC 318 and Major League Baseball (MLB) games. Both platforms are providing new users with the opportunity to earn $150 in bonus bets by placing a $5 wager.

FanDuel's promotion allows new users to receive $150 in bonus bets after placing a $5 bet on any UFC 318 fight or MLB game. UFC 318, which takes place this Saturday, features a highly anticipated match between Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier. This fight marks the final bout of Poirier's career and will be held in his hometown of New Orleans. To claim the bonus, users must win their initial $5 bet.

In addition to the signup bonus, FanDuel is offering in-app promotions, including a 30% profit boost token for any fight and a 50% profit boost token specifically for the Holloway vs. Poirier match. New users can activate this offer by creating an account and making a deposit to cover their initial bet.

Similarly, DraftKings is offering a $150 bonus for new players who sign up and place a $5 bet. This bonus comes in the form of six $25 bets that can be used across various sports, including MLB, UFC 318, and more. DraftKings also features additional in-app promotions, such as profit boosts for specific events.

To participate in either promotion, new users must complete a straightforward registration process. This includes providing personal information and making a deposit. Once the initial bet is placed, users will receive their bonus bets if their wager is successful.

Both platforms are expected to attract significant interest this weekend, with MLB games resuming after the All-Star break and the excitement surrounding UFC 318. Bettors are encouraged to explore various betting options, including player prop bets and moneyline wagers, to maximize their chances of winning.
