Joaquin Niemann insists he is “going to learn” from being handed a two-shot penalty at the US Open, although was surprised by the severity of the punishment for throwing a golf club.

The Chilean was level-par for his round with four holes to play on Thursday evening when he sent two tee shots out of bounds at the par-four sixth, moments before play was suspended due to darkness at Shinnecock Hills.

Niemann found more thick grass with his next effort before hacking the following shot – his sixth – onto the fairway, then threw a sand wedge in frustration before returning the following morning to hit his approach onto the green and two-putt for a quintuple-bogey nine.

The 27-year-old was punished for “serious misconduct” under rule 1.2b, seeing his nine become a septuple-bogey 11 in an opening-round 78, with Niemann only informed of the penalty shortly before his second round.

“I finished my round this morning, signed my scorecard, and then a referee came up to me and said, ‘I need to talk to you’,” Niemann told reporters after his second round.

“I knew I had a misbehaviour but I feel like everybody had some, and it’s never going to be anything major like two-shot penalty.

“They considered with the whole committee that it was a right decision to give me a two-shot penalty. Obviously I was trying to argue back, to try to not get the two-shot penalty, but it’s their decision.

“I feel like I wouldn’t be happy seeing players throwing clubs and behaving that way so, yeah, I agree. I’m the first one to judge myself when I don’t behave on the golf course – that was a misbehave from my part.

“I felt like a little bit extra penalised with a two-shot penalty, but it is what it is. I’m going to learn from it.”

Niemann is 10 strokes behind halfway leader Wyndham Clark, who extended his advantage with a monster final-hole birdie on Friday

Niemann later added: “They blew the horn [to suspend play for bad light] but after I hit that shot, all the frustration came inside me. Had my club in my hand and I couldn’t resist to throw it away. There was no-one there but I’m not proud of it.”

He responded brilliantly to post five birdies in the first six holes of his second round, where he joined Collin Morikawa in equalling the lowest score of the morning wave with a five-under 65.

It [penalty] definitely helped me a little bit to have a better round today,” Niemann added. “Everything was on. I hit great tee shots. I went out with a pretty aggressive mindset, so it worked out.

“Sometimes, especially in these tournaments, it could go the other way, and this time it worked.”

Rule 1.2a – the expected standards of player conduct

It declares that players are expected to play in the spirit of the game by acting with integrity, showing consideration to others and taking good care of the course.

It unequivocally states the Committee’s authority to disqualify a player for any serious misconduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game.

In place of the unclear previous concept of “breach of etiquette”, it uses the more direct and stronger phrases “misconduct” and “serious misconduct.”

Rule 1.2b also gives the Committee authority to adopt its own Code of Conduct and to set penalties for its breach.

What is the rule and who has been punished before?

Incidents that are considered a breach of conduct include unacceptable language and abuse of clubs or the course, with Niemann’s punishment the latest attempt by golf’s governing bodies to clamp down on bad behaviour.

The Masters used it for the first time on Sergio Garcia earlier this year, after the Spaniard slammed his club into the turf twice and broke his driver by swinging it at a water cooler during the final round.

Sergio Garcia was spoken to by a tournament official after the former Masters champion lashed out at the tee box during his final round at Augusta National

The policy used at The Masters sees players start with getting a warning, with a second violation then resulting in a two-shot penalty before a third leads to disqualification.

The USGA policy for serious misconduct says if a player’s behaviour – or that of his caddie – is “so far removed from what is expected in the spirit of the game of golf”, officials can assess a two-shot penalty or disqualify the player.

A statement from the USGA said: “Joaquin Niemann was assessed two penalty strokes for throwing a club on the sixth hole during Round 1. This act was determined to be serious misconduct under Rule 1.2b.”

Players to Watch in USA vs. Australia

Folarin Balogun (United States) starred in the U.S.’s 4-1 win over Paraguay, scoring the country’s first World Cup brace since 1930. With Christian Pulisic unavailable, Balogun will be counted on to lead the American attack once again.

Weston McKennie (United States) will be a key presence in midfield as the U.S. looks to build on its dominant opening performance. His work rate, physicality, and ability to drive play forward will be especially important without Pulisic.

Nestory Irankunda (Australia) made an immediate impact in Australia’s shocking 2-0 upset of Türkiye, scoring one of the goals that put the Socceroos level with the U.S. atop Group D. The dynamic attacker has the pace and creativity to trouble any defense.

Connor Metcalfe (Australia) also found the net against Türkiye and was instrumental in one of the biggest upsets of the opening round. The midfielder’s energy and ability to arrive in dangerous areas make him a player the U.S. will need to track closely.

Corentin Moutet has been fined almost all of his prize money at Queen’s Club following his foul-mouthed post-match interview.

The controversial Frenchman said the ‘F-word’ seven times live on BBC television after his first-round victory over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.

Having initially sworn unintentionally while answering the first question, a grinning Moutet then responded by saying the profanity three times more, before interviewer Jenny Drummond pulled the plug.

The ATP announced on Friday that Moutet, who earned £33,000 for reaching the second round of the HSBC Championships, has been fined a whopping $40,000 (£30,248).

That equates to more than 90 per cent of his prize money, or £4,321 per swear word.

Corentin Moutet courted controversy on the Andy Murray Arena at Queen’s Club.

The ATP said the fine was imposed for “unsportsmanlike conduct”, namely “the use of profane language during his post-match interview”.

Moutet has confirmed he will appeal against the fine, in accordance with ATP rules.

Nakashima knocks out De Minaur

On the court, American Brandon Nakashima caused a shock when he knocked out top seed and world No 6 Alex De Minaur.

The 24-year-old, ranked 32, pulled off one of the biggest wins of his career with a 7-5 6-3 victory.

“Very happy with my performance, it definitely wasn’t easy,” he said. “I was under a lot of pressure but I’m happy with myself getting through the critical points and closing it out at the end.

“It’s never easy serving out a match, especially against a top player like Alex, so I was happy to win the last point.”

Defeat was doubly disappointing for Australian De Minaur, with his fiancée Katie Boulter watching from the stands at the Andy Murray Arena.

The 27-year-old had wanted to match British No 2 Boulter’s run to the semi-finals in last week’s WTA event, but fell one match short.

Fitness worry clouds Rybakina’s Wimbledon prep

Elena Rybakina’s preparations for Wimbledon suffered a setback as she was forced to withdraw from the Bad Homburg Open.

The world No 2 and former Wimbledon champion pulled out with a hip issue a day after a surprise round-of-16 defeat ‌to 35th-ranked Alexandra Eala at the Berlin Open.

“Unfortunately, I have ​to withdraw from Bad Homburg due to some discomfort in my right hip,” Rybakina, 27, said ​in a story shared by the ⁠tournament’s official Instagram page.

“I need ⁠to consult with my medical team and undergo further assessment before making ‌any decisions about the next steps. Thank you for your understanding and support.”

Aryna Sabalenka was victorious in the quarter-finals of the German Open.

Aryna Sabalenka has progressed at the German Open, although she dropped a set down before coming back to beat Nikola Bartunkova.

Sabalenka is through to the semi-finals after defeating Bartunkova 2-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-4.

French Open champion Alexander Zverev of Germany defeated Belgium’s Raphael Collignon in straight sets, 7-6 (12-10) 7-6 (7-2) in two hours and one minute to reach the semi-finals of the Terra Wortmann Open on Friday.

Zverev will face USA’s Taylor Fritz for a place in the final. Fifth seed Fritz beat countryman and third seed Ben Shelton in a three-set thriller, 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (10-8) 7-6 (7-3).

The biggest sporting event North America has ever hosted is in full swing, and we already have a ton of movement atop the 2026 FIFA World Cup oddsboard. 

On Thursday, Mexico recorded a massive 1-0 win over South Korea to win Group A and officially seal its spot in the knockout round. 

Prior to the tournament, Mexico was +6500 to win the World Cup. Now, El Tri sits at +5000. 

After a lackluster first half that resulted in only one shot on goal, France had its 2026 World Cup breakout in the second half of Tuesday’s match against Senegal. 

Les Bleus stormed to a 3-1 win behind Kylian Mbappé’s two goals, while Bradley Barcola added another just minutes after he came onto the pitch. 

With his brace on Tuesday, Mbappé became France’s all-time leader in goals with 58, passing Olivier Giroud. He now has 14 World Cup goals, tied with Gerd Müller for the fourth-most of any man in World Cup history.

With its huge opening win, combined with Spain’s shocking opening draw against Cape Verde, France is now the sole favorite to win the World Cup this summer at +420, the lowest it’s been since the tournament odds came out back in December. 

Let’s dive into the full odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, as of June 18.

Here’s what to know about this oddsboard: 

The Favorites: France is now the solo favorite atop the oddsboard. It opened its pursuit for a third World Cup title with a 3-1 win against Senegal on Tuesday. Les Bleus will face Norway and Iraq in its next two group stage matches, as they eye a deep tournament run once again. After that, while its opening draw against Cape Verde was a nightmare start to the tournament, Spain remains the second choice. Spain has appeared in 16 previous World Cups and won the tournament once, lifting the trophy in 2010. It also won the 2024 Euros. It will look to bounce back and follow Argentina’s route to the title in 2022, after its disappointing first result of the tournament. 

Biggest Risers: Could the USA and Mexico have gotten off to better starts? The U.S. took a 3-0 lead over Paraguay in the first half before cruising to a 4-1 win. Leading the way for the United States was Folarin Balogun, who scored twice. However, Mauricio Pochettino took USA star Christian Pulisic out at halftime due to calf tightness, and he is listed as day to day. Meanwhile, after winning its first two group games, Mexico has officially won Group A and have clinched a spot in the knockout round. In its opening match, Mexico was dominant in a 2-0 win over South Africa. On Thursday, El Tri edged out a 1-0 win over South Korea. After a major mistake by South Korea’s goalkeeper, Luis Romo’s 50th minute goal put Mexico ahead, and it was able to hold off a late surge from the Taegeuk Warriors. While Mexico could not have dreamt of a better start to the tournament, it now has major expectations placed on it to get past the Round of 16 for the first time since 1986.

London City Lionesses have announced the signing of former England goalkeeper Mary Earps. 

The 33-year-old will officially join on a two-year contract on July 1 when her contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires.

Earps is returning to the WSL two years after leaving Manchester United. Across her five seasons at United, she made 102 appearances and kept 45 clean sheets.

She retired from a glittering international career last summer in a shock announcement just five weeks out from the Euros after losing her place as starting goalkeeper to Hannah Hampton.

Earps played a crucial role in England’s Euro 2022 success and in their route to the World Cup final a year later.

“I’m over the moon to join this club and I’m really looking forward to it,” Earps said.

“I feel the club aligns with what I stand for. I can’t wait to get started and to get down to business.”

London City appear determined to make a number of statement signings this summer, and have a strong interest in Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas.

We take a look at Mary Earps’ best saves from the Women’s Super League.

Earps: I have so much more to give – that’s why I chose London City

Speaking in a statement confirming her arrival, Earps explained her reasoning behind joining London City, who were promoted to the WSL for the first time last season and finished sixth.

Earps continued: “The club’s values represent what I want to represent and they are passionate about what I want to achieve and change the game in a positive way. All the conversations have been really positive and every time I spoke with the club I wanted to hear more.

“The vision and ambition, including the new training facility, is incredible and I’m looking forward to seeing that develop. It shows what our owner, Michele (Kang), and everyone at the club want to do in terms of really going for it.

“It’s about putting a marker down and saying we want to be competitive in a short space of time.

“I’m looking forward to working alongside Elene (Lete) and the goalkeeping unit. Elene made some great saves and interventions last season. Hopefully, we can bounce off each other and work hard and enjoy it.

“My message to the fans is that I’m really excited to get started and make some memories together. I can’t wait to play in front of you all.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know the players, the style of play and club culture, and trying to give everything I can to help the club achieve its collective goals and be as successful as possible.

“I feel I still have so much left to give to the game, and that’s exactly why I chose London City.

“It won’t be easy, the WSL is extremely competitive. The team had a brilliant 2025/26 season, finishing mid-table in their first season, now it’s about climbing the table and working towards finishing as high as possible.”

Mary Earps is the latest high-profile signing for London City

Big names continue to mount for London City…

Sky Sports’ Laura Hunter:

Another coup for London City. The big-name signings continue to mount – and likely won’t stop at Mary Earps either. Ambition even extends as far as trying to land former Barcelona captain Alexia Putellas on a free this summer. That really would be the GOAT of signings.

It’s a star-studded cast for a team that has only been in the English top-flight for one season, propped up by the riches of free-spending owner Michele Kang.

One might question how all these superstars are going to gel under one roof. There is plenty of modern-day examples of that formula flopping, albeit most obviously in the men’s game. I’m thinking Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at PSG – the vibe was completely off.

Nonetheless, there is no doubt Earps is a huge signing for London City and one that significantly improves them.

Eder Maestre’s side shipped 35 goals last season, above the league’s average (32). They have got to address that if the plan is to try to break up the division’s traditional top four.

DraftKings’ app is among the most polished in the industry, with a clean, intuitive interface that makes it easy to toggle between sports, promotions, and account settings. Its dark background with green highlights creates a professional, sportsbook-centric aesthetic, and the layout is logically organized with clear tabs and shortcuts.

Performance is consistently excellent — pages load quickly, odds refresh seamlessly, and navigation rarely stalls. The bet slip is simple to edit, allowing users to add, remove, and switch formats with ease. 

Live betting is a standout, offering real-time odds updates and smooth transitions between markets. Integrated extras include quick-access stats, in-game scoreboards, and occasional streaming for select events. 

One minor drawback is that the homepage can feel crowded with promos during major events, but overall DraftKings sets a high bar for usability.

BetMGM Highlights & Top Features

Parlay and SGP builders, routine odds boosts, and integration with MGM Rewards on eligible wagers. Seasonal promos like “Swing for the Fences” add extra tokens and boosts during MLB season.

BetMGM Mobile App User Experience

BetMGM offers solid navigation with clearly labeled sections for sports, promos, and account settings, but the overall layout can feel a bit busy compared to its top competitors. The black-and-gold color scheme is distinctive, though some screens have dense menus that require extra scrolling. 

Performance is generally smooth, though bettors may notice minor delays when exploring deep prop markets or toggling between live events. The bet slip is easy to use, but less visually refined than DraftKings’ or FanDuel’s. 

Live betting functionality is comprehensive, with a wide range of markets, but odds updates can lag slightly during peak action. Integrated features include basic scoreboards and some stat overlays, though streaming is limited. 

The main drawback is occasional sluggishness and a slightly less streamlined user flow.

FanDuel’s live betting interface is among the best, with rapid odds updates and fluid market switching. Extras like live scoreboards, in-game stat trackers, and selective streaming elevate the experience. The only notable limitation is occasional clutter in the promo carousel, which can push betting markets lower on the screen.

Sports, promos, and account settings are simple to find through a bottom tab layout, and the visual design is crisp with prominent red and white branding. Performance is strong, with fast load times and smooth transitions between pages.

 The bet slip is clean and easy to edit, with clear toggles between bet types. Live betting is responsive, though not as expansive as bet365 or FanDuel. Extras like live scoreboards and in-game stats are present, but full streaming is still limited. The standout feature is the FanCash integration, which displays earned rewards alongside the betting balance, offering a unique cross-platform value proposition. The main drawback is that the app’s live market depth isn’t quite as extensive as more established operators.

Fanatics Banking: Deposits, Withdrawals, and Payout Speed

Fanatics offers a straightforward set of deposit methods, including debit/credit cards, PayPal, Play+, online banking/ACH, and PayNearMe.

Users also benefit from integrated live streaming on select events, allowing bettors to watch games directly inside the app while placing wagers.

Other standout features include Cash Out and Auto Cash Out tools, which let bettors secure profits or limit losses before an event ends. bet365 also runs frequent promotions such as early-payout offers, odds boosts, and bet builder specials, giving users additional value across major leagues and events throughout the year.

bet365 Mobile App User Experience

bet365’s navigation leans functional over flashy. Sports and markets are organized in a vertical list, which experienced bettors will find efficient, though newcomers may find it dense at first. Its green and yellow design is instantly recognizable, if somewhat utilitarian. 

Performance is excellent — bet365 remains one of the fastest apps in the business, especially in live betting, where odds update almost instantaneously and market depth is unmatched. The bet slip is straightforward, supporting quick edits and multiple formats. Integrated extras are strong: bet365 offers extensive live scoreboards, in-game stats, and some of the best streaming coverage in the industry, often including lower-profile events. The biggest limitation is that its interface can feel overwhelming to casual users due to the sheer volume of markets and compact layout.

bet365 Banking: Deposits, Withdrawals, and Payout Speed

bet365 provides standard deposit options such as debit/credit cards, PayPal, online banking/ACH, PayNearMe, and Play+. Withdrawals can be made via PayPal, online banking, Play+, or checks.

Caesars Highlights & Top Features

Caesars Mobile App User Experience

Caesars Sportsbook blends its signature green-and-gold branding with a clean, well-spaced interface that’s easy to navigate. Sports, promos, and account settings are clearly accessible via the bottom menu, and featured markets are well organized. Performance is generally reliable, though load times can be slightly slower than FanDuel or DraftKings during major events.

The bet slip is functional and easy to manage, supporting quick add/remove actions. Live betting is well-integrated with responsive odds updates, though it lacks some of the polish and speed of bet365. Integrated extras include scoreboards and basic stats, but streaming options are limited. A minor drawback is occasional sluggishness on older devices, especially when scrolling through long futures menus.

Caesars Banking: Deposits, Withdrawals, and Payout Speed

Caesars Sportsbook supports deposits through debit/credit cards, PayPal, Play+, online banking/ACH, PayNearMe, and wire transfers. Withdrawal methods include PayPal, Play+, online banking, checks by mail, and cash at Caesars retail sportsbooks. PayPal and Play+ usually process within 24–48 hours, while online banking and checks can take 3–5 business days. Caesars offers instant PayPal payouts for qualified users, making it easy to receive winnings quickly without extended delays.

Popular Types of Sportsbook Offers for New Users

Sportsbooks have a handful of different offers to try and keep users on their apps. Bonus bets, deposit match bonuses, second-chance bets, no-sweat bets and first-best insurance are among those offers. Here’s a little more on each. 

Bonus Bets (“Bet and Get” Offers)

Bonus bets are site credits awarded after you place a qualifying wager.

With DraftKings and bet365, you receive the bonus win or lose. With FanDuel, you receive the bonus only if your qualifying bet wins. Only the winnings from a bonus bet are withdrawable; the bonus stake is not.

These are best for new users with low risk tolerance or smaller bankrolls who want quick value from a small first wager. Sportsbooks offer them because they lower the entry barrier, get new bettors comfortable in the app, and create reasons to explore more markets with minimal upfront risk.

Below are some examples of this offer that have appeared throughout this guide:

DraftKings: Bet $5, Get $200 in bonus bets instantly. 

bet365: Bet $10, Get $365 in bonus bets (win or lose).

Deposit Match Bonus

A deposit match bonus is a common type of sportsbook welcome offer that rewards new users by matching their first deposit with bonus funds. 

Typically, this is a one-time promotion, often structured as a 100% match up to a set amount — for example, “100% match up to $500.” So, if you deposit $500, the sportsbook will give you an additional $500 in bonus bets, effectively doubling your starting bankroll. 

This type of offer is especially appealing to new users who plan to make a larger initial deposit, as the more you deposit (up to the limit), the more bonus funds you unlock. For sportsbooks, deposit match bonuses are a strategic way to incentivize bigger upfront deposits, encouraging users to commit more funds from the start.

Second-Chance Bets, No-Sweat Bets, and First-Bet Insurance

In this promotion, sportsbooks will refund your first wager if it loses in bonus bets, acting as a safety net for an opening bet. This is best for new users who want to make a big higher-risk first wager. Let’s take a look at each. 

Second-chance bets: your first wager is “insured” up to a stated cap (for example, $150, $500, or $1,000). If the bet loses, the refund is issued as bonus bets, not cash, typically within 24–72 hours and often split into tokens that expire in about 7 days. If the bet wins, no refund is given.

No-sweat bets: works the same way but usually tied to a specific event or day with a smaller cap (for example, $10–$100). A losing eligible wager is refunded as bonus bets, not cash, subject to expiry and other terms. A winning bet receives normal cash winnings and no refund.

First bet insurance: another name for the same “loss-refund” structure on your very first wager. The refund is capped and paid as bonus bets, not cash, and only if the first bet loses. Bonus-bet stakes are not returned on winning bonus-bet wagers, and minimum-odds and expiry rules apply.

Sportsbook No Deposit Bonuses

A no deposit bonus is a rare type of sportsbook promotion that gives new users bonus bets or site credit without requiring any deposit. These offers are typically tied to special occasions, such as a new state launch or a major event, and are designed to let bettors try the platform risk-free. However, no deposit bonuses are very uncommon in today’s regulated U.S. market and usually come in low amounts, often just a few dollars in site credit.

Importantly, none of the reputable traditional sportsbooks featured on this page currently offer a no deposit bonus, making this type of promotion more of a special exception than a standard welcome offer. We do, however, occasionally see no deposit welcome bonuses for DFS apps.

Common Sportsbook Promotions for Existing Users

If you’re a longtime user of legal sportsbooks, there are also promotions for you, too. Let’s take a look at each of them. 

Odds Boosts & Profit Boosts

Odds boosts and profit boosts are exactly what they sound. For odds boosts, the odds are raised on select bets, increasing the potential payout. On profit boosts, your winnings get multiplied by a set percentage on eligible bets.

• Odds Boost: Raises the odds on select bets, increasing potential payout.
• Profit Boost: Multiplies your winnings by a set percentage on eligible bets.
• Who is known for these: DK, FD, BetMGM, bet365

Reload Bonus

For reload bonuses, existing users can get a certain percentage of their deposit matched up to a certain amount. This is for returning or dormant bettors, and also encourages re-engagment and repeat deposits for the sportsbook. 

Refer-a-Friend Bonus

It pays to get your friends involved in gambling. If a friend signs up for an account on a sportsbook through a referral link, your account can get rewarded with bonus bets or site credit. Let’s take a look at what each sportsbook offers with its refer-a-friend bonus.

Loyalty and Rewards Programs

Loyalty and rewards programs give bettors ongoing value by allowing them to earn points for every wager they place, which can then be redeemed for bonus bets, perks, or merchandise. 

These programs often feature multiple tiers, and as users climb to higher levels, they unlock extra benefits like faster withdrawal processing, exclusive VIP promos, personalized offers, and priority support. 

Some sportsbooks focus purely on bonus bet redemptions, while others integrate unique perks — for example, Fanatics Sportsbook lets users exchange rewards (FanCash) for merchandise on the Fanatics store, blending retail and betting benefits in a way no other operator currently does.

These programs are ideal for regular bettors who want to maximize long-term value from their action.

• DraftKings Dynasty Rewards– earn Crowns for every bet; redeem for bonus bets, DFS entries, or merchandise. Higher tiers offer enhanced perks.
• FanDuel Rewards Program– points earned through betting can be redeemed for bonus bets; higher tiers unlock special promos and priority service.
• BetMGM Rewards– integrated with MGM Resorts; points can be redeemed for bonus bets or hotel, dining, and entertainment perks at MGM properties.
• bet365 Loyalty Program– rewards frequent bettors with points redeemable for bonus bets; program is straightforward but lower on flashy perks.
• Caesars Rewards– tied to Caesars Entertainment’s broader program; points can be redeemed for bonus bets or used at hotels, restaurants, and casinos.
• Fanatics FanCash– earn 2–5% back on wagers; can be redeemed for bonus bets or merchandise on Fanatics.com, making it the most retail-integrated rewards program.

Sports Betting Contests and Tournaments

Sports betting contests and tournaments are competitive betting events where users place picks or wagers to climb leaderboards and compete for prizes such as bonus bets, cash, or merchandise. These contests can be free-to-play (often used as promotional tools) or paid entry, offering larger prize pools and more competitive formats.

Sportsbooks frequently tie these events to major sports seasons or marquee events — for example, NFL playoff pick’em challenges, March Madness bracket contests, or special promotions during the Super Bowl. 

FanDuel and DraftKings are particularly well-known for their extensive contest offerings, drawing on their Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) roots to run large-scale tournaments with tiered leaderboards and substantial payouts. 

These contests are a fun way for bettors to engage with the sportsbook beyond standard wagering, adding a social and competitive layer to the betting experience.

Common Sports Betting Promotion Terms & Conditions

Every sportsbook promotion comes with specific terms and conditions that govern who’s eligible, how payouts work, and how any bonus funds can be used. Understanding these rules is essential to avoid surprises and make the most of any offer. Here are some of the most common conditions you’ll see across sportsbooks:

• Eligibility: most welcome offers are limited to new customers who are physically located in a legal sports betting state.
• Minimum Deposit: the smallest amount required to qualify, usually $5–$20.
• Minimum Bet: the minimum wager needed to trigger the promo, often matching the deposit threshold.
• Odds Restrictions: many offers require the qualifying bet to be placed on odds of -150 or longer (e.g., +100, +150).
• Wagering Requirements: you may need to play through bonus funds multiple times before you can withdraw winnings.
• Win/Loss Requirement: some promos apply whether your bet wins or loses, while others (like “second-chance bets”) only activate if your qualifying wager loses.
• Bonus Expiration: bonus funds typically expire within 7 days if not used.
• Market Restrictions: certain promos are valid only for specific sports, markets, or bet types.
• Payout Format: bonus bets themselves aren’t withdrawable — only winnings from bonus bets can be cashed out.

Before claiming any promotion, always read the full terms and conditions carefully so you understand exactly how the offer works and what’s required to unlock its value.

Responsible Sports Gambling Resources

• Sports betting should be fun, not stressful. If you feel like gambling is impacting your finances, relationships, or mental health, there are free and confidential resources that can help.
• The American Gaming Association (AGA) offers research, education, and resources to promote responsible gaming—learn more at www.americangaming.org/responsible-gaming.
• National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) – Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER or visit www.ncpgambling.org/chat for 24/7 support.

FAQs about Sportsbook Promos & Bonus Bets

Can I sign up for multiple welcome offers?

• Yes, you can claim one welcome offer per sportsbook, and many bettors sign up with multiple sportsbooks to take advantage of different promotions. However, you can’t claim multiple new-user offers from the same sportsbook using the same personal information.

What are bonus bets?

• Bonus bets are promotional credits sportsbooks give you to wager with — not actual cash. If you win a bet placed with bonus bets, you typically receive only the winnings, not the original stake.

Can I withdraw bonus bets?

• No. Bonus bets themselves cannot be withdrawn. You can only cash out the winnings generated from those bonus bets, once any wagering requirements are met.

What are the most common sportsbook bonuses?

• Bet & Get Offers– bet a set amount, receive bonus bets.
• Deposit Match Bonuses– sportsbook matches your first deposit up to a limit.
• First Bet Insurance– get your stake back (as bonus bets) if your first bet loses.
• Odds Boosts & Profit Boosts– enhanced payouts on specific wagers.
• Seasonal or Event Promos– tied to big games, tournaments, or launches.

What is first bet insurance?

• First bet insurance protects your first wager. If it loses, the sportsbook refunds your stake in bonus bets (sometimes up to $1,000 or more). If your first bet wins, you’re paid out normally.

What are “bet and get” offers?

• A bet and get offer gives you bonus bets after placing a qualifying wager. For example, “Bet $5, Get $200” means you place a $5 bet, and regardless of the outcome, the sportsbook awards $200 in bonus bets.

Do you need a promo code for a sportsbook promo?

Joe Joyce insists a rematch with Daniel Dubois is “an attractive option”.

Joyce handed Dubois a first professional defeat when he beat him in 2020.

Dubois was counted out after sustaining serious damage in that bout with Joyce, but he has subsequently gone on to become a two-time heavyweight world champion, with wins over Anthony Joshua and Fabio Wardley to his name.

Joyce himself won a WBO Interim heavyweight title, excelling when he dominated Joseph Parker too.

But back to back losses to Zhilei Zhang derailed him and the now 40 year old Joyce has also been beaten by Filip Hrgovic and Derek Chisora in his two most recent bouts.

The Briton is now looking to get his career back on track when he fights unbeaten opponent Artem Suslenkov on the Murat Gassiev vs Tony Yoka undercard in Moscow on July 11 and wants eventually to return to world level. He would like a rematch with Dubois, who now holds the WBO heavyweight world title.

Former Olympic heavyweight gold medallist Audley Harrison has urged exciting prospect Moses Itauma not to rush into a World title fight with Daniel Dubois.

“It’s always an attractive option,” Joyce told Sky Sports. “Before I took Zhang, which was obviously a bad decision, I was WBO Interim [champion] off the back of beating Dubois and Parker. So it’s just like a bit of a mistake that I’m going to rectify now.”

Those hopes would be snuffed out if he lost to Suslenkov. “I’ve got to deal with what’s in front of me first before looking too far ahead,” Joyce said.

“The motivation is getting the win and getting back in there and putting in a dominant performance.

“I’ve made some changes and I’m training hard and getting ready for that fight.”

He is adamant he can shrug off the year of inactivity.

“It’s just boxing,” Joyce said. “I’ve been training, I’ve been learning this year, I’ve been putting in the work so I’m ready to show you what I’ve learned.”

With Mexico a few minutes away from securing a spot in the knockout stage of the World Cup it’s hosting with the U.S. and Canada, goalkeeper Raúl “Tala” Rangel extended his right arm and positioned his hand perfectly to keep the ball from crossing the line, denying South Korea an equalizer.

The 87th-minute save by the goalkeeper, who is from the Guadalajara region and plays for local club Chivas, sealed a 1-0 win and a first-place finish for Mexico in Group A. El Tri became the first team to advance from the group stage.

“It was very quick, it was pure reaction,” Rangel said. “I couldn’t really tell you what I saw, because I remember the moment of impact with my teammate and me having the ball. But I think I was really focused, I came through when team needed me, and I’m happy about that.”

The 26-year-old Rangel came up big twice in the decisive play.

He stopped Yang Hyun-jun’s attempt with his extended arm immediately after he saved a close-range header by Cho Gue-sung. The ball ricocheted up as Rangel collided with a teammate going to the ground, but he was able to block Yang’s strike on the rebound.

Rangel was called up for the World Cup after an injury earlier this year to Luis Ángel Malagón, Mexico’s expected starter in goal.

Coach Javier Aguirre said he felt confident about having Rangel in goal at the World Cup.

“He showed me a lot of determination ever since we called him up for the first time,” Aguirre said. “He played very well for his team this season.”

Rangel’s Chivas plays at Estadio Akron, Guadalajara’s World Cup host venue. Luis Romo, who scored Mexico’s goal on Thursday, also plays for the club that traditionally only fields players from Mexico.
