The group stage of Euro 2024 is over and you can now wager on the Round of 16 as each game is an elimination match. Leading sports betting apps not only provide many ways to wager on each match but also welcome promos if you are new to each platform.

We’ll walk through each sportsbook and how to qualify for the welcome promo. While we will focus on how to activate the promos with Euro 2024, you can activate these promos across most sports offered on each sportsbook.

Here are the top seven welcome promos you can find for Euro 2024 or other major events:

This FanDuel welcome promo is the main national offer available across 20 sports betting states. Here’s what you need to get started:

If your bet wins, you profit cash and earn the $150 in bonus bets. Meanwhile, a loss is treated like a normal losing wager and earns nothing.

A win means the bonus bets hit your account within 72 hours and last for seven days as funds for wagers within the platform.

New Massachusetts and Ohio customers can follow the same steps mentioned above with one key difference. A winning $5 wager earns an elevated $300 in bonus bets instead of $150 in all other locations.

DraftKings is currently splitting its welcome promos among the locations mentioned in this section. A new account, $5 deposit and wager earns $150 in instant bonus bets once you submit the betslip.

Next, depending on the outcome, you can also profit cash from a winning wager. No matter what, the bonus bets are earned from the deposit and wager alone.

You’ll have seven days to use the $150 in bonus bets and these bonus funds can be split across multiple wagers within DraftKings.

In the 10 states mentioned, the welcome promo works the exact same but you earn $300 instead of $150. Everything else about the offer is the same and the $300 in instant bonus lasts for seven days in your DraftKings account.

Each BetMGM welcome promo has a unique BetMGM bonus code and you’ll have the choice between offers in most locations, besides New York. New York is excluded from either promotion.

If you’re new to BetMGM, you can earn the sports bonus from your first deposit of $10 or more. There isn’t a first bet required but you earn the bonus from the deposit alone.

Next, BetMGM requires you to cash bet 10x the bonus earned in the first 30 days to withdraw cash winnings in your account. For example, if I deposit $1,000 and earn $200 in bonus, I would need to wager a total $2,000 across cash bets in the time frame or else my cash may be forfeit in my account.

The sports bonus must be used within seven days to potentially earn cash. However, any cash earned cannot be accessed until meeting the cash betting requirement.

Alternatively, this is the largest first bet insurance on this list. This offer can be valuable on large wagers for plus money such as a parlay or underdog.

Let’s say I place $1,000 on a +290 parlay for Italy and Germany to win their Saturday matches and move to the next round.

Since my wager is over $50, BetMGM would reimburse the $1,000 across five payments of $200 bonus bet chunks that last for seven days upon receipt in my account.

bet365 bonus code: SHNEWS

bet365 provides a choice between two welcome promos in any bet365 location. You’ll find bet365 in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia.

This is another first bet insurance offer but is up to $1,000 in value. You’ll need a new account with bonus code SHNEWS, a minimum $10 deposit and a cash bet of any size.

Everything else about the promo is standard compared to other first bet insurances in that a win profits cash while a miss is covered by bonus bets. However, bet365 deposits bonus bets within an hour of bet settlement, the fastest of any book on this list.

You’ll have seven days to utilize the bonus bets which can be spread across multiple wagers for potential cash.

The bet365 bet/get promo is similar to the DraftKings offer with a few differences.

First, the bet must be on -500 or greater odds. For example, either moneyline from the Saturday Euro 2024 matches qualify since Italy is +140 and Germany is -160.

The deposit requirement is slightly larger at $10 vs. $5 with DraftKings. No matter how the bet settles, the bonus bets hit your account within an hour of bet settlement.

Similar to other books, these bonus bets are valid for seven days to use on wagers within bet365.

ESPN BET promo code: SHNEWS

$1,000 First Bet Reset

ESPN BET, a newer platform, also provides a first bet insurance. The mechanics of this offer are nearly identical to the bet365 first bet insurance with a new account, minimum $10 deposit and cash bet of any size.

Note that ESPN BET is the only book on this list that requires you to manually apply the promo code SHNEWS. If you don’t manually apply the code, you won’t be eligible for the offer.

The Fanatics Sportsbook promo code deals are uniquely-structured and require daily bets to earn bonus bet matches from Fanatics.

You’ll need to opt-in each day in your account followed by a first bet on -200 or greater odds such as a +150 player prop or Germany -160. The bet can be any size and is matched up to a maximum $200 in bonus bets for a $200 bet on that particular day.

The promo runs for five continuous days for a total potential value of $1,000 in bonus bets if you place a $200 bet each day over five days. No matter how the bet settles, the bonus bets are earned.

This promo is very similar but runs for 10 days with a maximum match of $100 each day. You’ll still need to opt-in each day followed by a first bet on -200 or greater odds.

You’ll notice this means the maximum value of the promo is also $1,000 just with 10 days of $100 matches possible instead of five days of $200 potential matches. The bonus bets last for seven days and can be used to fund wagers within Fanatics Sportsbook.

Caesars Sportsbook promo code: HANDLENEWS1000

$1,000 first bet on the house

Lastly, we finish up with one last first bet insurance with a maximum value of $1,000. Caesars requires a $10 deposit and wager which is slightly different from the other insurance promos on our list.

Next, should you miss your first wager, the bonus bets pay out slightly differently.

For example, let’s say I make the same +290 Euro 2024 parlay and stake $500 but the parlay misses. Caesars Sportsbook deposits a single $500 bonus bet to cover the miss which means it can’t be split across multiple wagers.

So whenever I decide to use the bonus bet, I’ll need to use the $500 bonus bet on one single wager as the stake. I’ll have 14 days to utilize this bonus bet chunk on any wager within Caesars Sportsbook.
