US MLB betting & daily‑fantasy bonus promos

Entities: Cincinnati Reds · Chicago White Sox · Cleveland Guardians · DraftKings · New York Yankees

Overview

The promotional wave that began in early July 2024 has continued into the summer of 2026. DraftKings keeps expanding its welcome offers, now crediting new users a $150 bonus bet after a $5 wager on any MLB game, with the bonus posted within 14 days (July 23). A later iteration (July 28) refines the deal: six instant $25 bonus units are awarded for a $5 stake on selected match‑ups such as the Yankees‑White Sox and Guardians‑Reds, and must be used within seven days.

theScore Bet adds a $1,000 bet‑reset promotion, converting a losing first wager into five $200 bonus bets within 72 hours, again limited to states where online sports betting is legal.

Splash maintains a 50 % deposit match up to $500 for deposits of $50 or more, usable on MLB entries and available to eligible adult players in participating states.

Daily‑fantasy operators remain active: Underdog and Chalkboard continue to run MLB‑focused entry‑credit bonuses, while Boom offers free lineup codes for the same contests. Across all platforms, the promotions stress low‑risk entry thresholds, state‑by‑state eligibility, and prominent player or matchup references such as Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and the Yankees vs. Phillies series.
