BONUS BETS

With Bonus Bets, your bets are on us and you keep the winnings!

Here's how bonus bets work

Check your account page to see whether you have active Bonus Bets!
Make your bet selections based on what your Bonus Bet will cover. Bonus Bets will either be all-purpose or for a specific sport, game, or bet type - like Same Game Parlay.
In your bet slip, look for “Add a Bonus Bet” and click the toggle. If you have more than one, you’ll get a pop-up with options to choose from (we recommend using the Bonus Bet that’s expiring soonest. This will be at the top of the list)
After the full Bonus Bet stake auto-populates, you can adjust the wager to add more cash from your wallet, or reduce the amount to only use a portion of the full Bonus Bet and place your bet.
*After your bet settles (and if it wins), you’ll get to pocket all of the winnings but the initial bonus bet portion of your wager will not be returned to your wallet

Answers To
Frequently Asked Questions

+
What is a Bonus Bet?

Bonus bets are bonuses that you’ll find in your account page or betslip. They will either be all-purpose or for a specific sport, game, or bet type. It will be specified in your bet slip or on your account page.

For example: you could use a $25 NFL Bonus Bet to place a $25 bet on the Patriots to cover the spread. If the bet wins, the $22.73 winnings will be added to your wallet, but the Bonus Bet stake would not be included in your winnings.

+
How do you get a Bonus Bet?

FanDuel will grant Bonus Bets that will appear in your account or you can receive Bonus Bets by opting into a promotion. Upon completing the activity that’s specified in the promotion, the Bonus Bet reward will appear in your account.

+
Where do you find your Bonus Bets?

You can see your available Bonus Bets within your account page. You will also see a Bonus Bet toggle in your betslip if you have a Bonus Bet available that is applicable to your bet selections. For example: if you have a Same Game Parlay Bonus Bet in your account, the Bonus Bet toggle will appear in your bet slip if you’ve selected a Same Game Parlay bet.

How do you use your Bonus Bet?

Check your account page to see whether you have active Bonus Bets. Make your bet selections based on what your Bonus Bet will cover. In your bet slip, look for “Add a Bonus Bet” and click the toggle. If you have more than one available, you’ll get a pop-up with options to choose from. Simply choose the Bonus Bet and the stake auto-populates. You can adjust the wager to add more cash from your wallet, or reduce the amount to only use a portion of the full bonus bet and place your bet.

When will a Bonus Bet expire?

Bonus Bets will expire in 7 days unless otherwise stated - you can find the expiration date in your account page. The order of your Bonus Bets in your betslip indicate the order in which they are expiring with the soonest expiration date at the top.

+
How do Bonus Bets differ from site credit?

With Bonus Bets, only the winnings are returned to you. You will not get the stake returned as cash in your wallet. If you’re using site credit, the stake will also be returned to you if your bet wins.

+
Can you combine more than one Bonus Bet?

No. You cannot combine more than one Bonus Bet per wager, but you can use multiple Bonus Bets on the same bet slip.

+
Can you combine your Bonus Bet with other funds?

Yes. You can combine cash and site credit with your Bonus Bets, but you’ll only get the cash or site credit portion of your stake back if your bet wins.

If you're trying to make a wager that's greater than the amount of your Bonus Bets, bonus and deposited funds/winnings can be applied.

For example: if you're making a $50 wager and you have a $25 Bonus Bet, you can use the $25 Bonus Bet and then apply any funds from your wallet to the remaining $25 of the wager you're placing.

+
Are there any restrictions?

Bonus Bets cannot be applied to Round Robin wagers.

+
Do you have to use the entire Bonus Bet amount?

No. You don’t have to use all of your Bonus Bet determined amount. You can update the amount you want to wager in your betslip, and the remaining Bonus Bet balance will still be available in your account until the expiration date.
