Either way, just be sure to hit the “bet now” button or links to take advantage of these deals, as some of them are exclusive to our audience.

For those of you in Pennsylvania, PA online sports betting is coming soon.

BetStars NJ

We like BetStars NJ because of its straightforward interface and variety of fun and useful promos. They’ve also recently approved the signup experience, so for those of you who had trouble early on, we suggest giving them another shot as the whole process is easier now.

If you haven’t already done so, there’s never been a better time to open account with BetStars NJ. It’s the season of giving and to get in the spirit, BetStars is offering users that sign up between now and Monday a $50 free bet with no deposit and up to $500 in free bets thereafter (with some caveats). They’ve been running this offer occasionally throughout the football season, so while it’s not entirely time sensitive, there’s no guarantee as to how much longer they will use it.

BetStars also offers boosts on winning parlays with three or more legs, StarsStacks that provide bigger odds, payouts on players to score touchdowns in featured NFL games, and unique event promotions like the NFL 2 Minute Drill.

Players should also check out BetStars’ Free $50 NBA In-Game Bet.

Just wager $50 pre-game on Friday’s 76ers-Pacers game and get a $50 in-game free bet to use on it as well. All you have to do is visit the “challenges window” to see the designated game and bet $50 or more pre-game to get your free credit.

Also be sure to take advantage of BetStars’ NBA Free Bet Refund. Place a moneyline bet on any NBA game, and get up to a $20 free bet if your team loses in overtime.

DraftKings Sportsbook

DraftKings Sportsbook is spreading the holiday cheer between now and the end of the month by increasing their $200 free bet offer, which they’ve been running pretty much open-ended since their launch back in August. To match some of the offers put forth by competitors, DraftKings Sportsbook is now offering a $500 free bet.

Here’s how it works—just use our link to sign up and DraftKings will match your first wager with a free bet up to $500. It works the same way as the previous $200 bet, only, you know, more. Use your matched free bet within 30 days of making your first wager, and you’re good to go. It’s that simple.

Once you’re signed up, there are plenty of fun and unique promos to take advantage of this weekend with DraftKings Sportsbook.

The college football bowl season gets underway and DraftKings is celebrating with a special odds boost on the best games of the day. These games tend to be wild every year, so it’s a good idea to take advantage of DraftKings’ College Bowls Insurance Late Loss Insurance.

Place a money line bet on any college bowl game until 12/22, and if your team enters the final quarter with a lead and loses, you’ll get back up to a $25 free bet per game.

And don’t forget, NFL Week 15 action continues on Saturday with Texans-Jets and Browns-Broncos, and DraftKings will have special boosts for those games as well.

On Sunday, DraftKings is offering a host of Sunday specials, including eight NFL odds boosts featuring Saquon Barkley, Tom Brady, Todd Gurley, and more.

And while NFL’s push for the playoffs is in full gear, the action on the hardwood and the ice is also heating up, and DraftKings Sportsbook is giving its members a new way to wager on all of the games. Similar to its football pools, DraftKings is now offering NBA and NHL Sportsbook Pools. Users can bet small to win big in a pool-style pick’em format nearly every night. This week’s contests include multiple pick’em and ATS pools across different sports with payouts ranging between $200 and $40,000.

Both FanDuel and DraftKings are offering outstanding promos and specials this weekend, so if you want to see more, read our DraftKings vs. FanDuel comparison on which sportsbook is better.

FanDuel Sportsbook

FanDuel is absolutely bringing the heat this season with generous holiday promotions. As always, new users get a $500 risk-free first bet.

Here’s how it works: new users will get a site credit worth up to $500 if they lose their first bet. Losses are refunded into accounts within 72 hours. Quite literally, FanDuel is giving users a no-risk, can’t-lose opportunity just for signing up.

With college football’s bowl season kicking off, FanDuel is giving users a free bet match up to $100 in site credit when they place a pre-live spread bet on all six Saturday games. One caveat: Amount equal to site credit must be wagered before winnings can be withdrawn.

As football fans know, NFL games are often a tale of two much different halves. It’s always a tough pill to swallow when a bet that looks good early goes bad late. Take some of the sting out of the heartbreak with NFL Halftime Insurance. Just place a moneyline wager on any NFL team this weekend, and if your bet is winning at halftime but goes on to lose late, you will receive a refund in site credit of up to $25.

Similarly, pro basketball bettors can take advantage of FanDuel’s NBA OT Insurance. Don’t fall victim to excruciating overtime losses. Bet the moneyline on any NBA game, and if your bet loses, get up to $25 of your wager back in site credit.

If you’re looking to hit a bigger payout and want to try your hand at a parlay, then FanDuel’s December Football Parlay Insurance and December Basketball Parlay Insurance are for you. Place a four-leg football or basketball parlay. If three legs of your wager hit, but one is a dud, FanDuel will refund your parlay in site credit up to $25.

SugarHouse Sportsbook

SugarHouse doesn’t have any special weekend promos running, but its sign up bonus remains excellent. New users will receive a 100% match on initial deposits up to $250. It’s basically free money, so if you haven’t signed up yet, I suggest doing so. Free money is good.

888sport NJ

888sport will give you $10 just for signing up with no deposit required, but if you sign up, they, too, offer an enticing bonus.

Those looking to bet on college basketball will want to check out 888sport’s NCAA Challenge. Place a parlay bet of at least three legs at odds of -200 or higher on college basketball games and double your winnings up to $100 daily.
