FanDuel is offering a $200 bonus for new users who place a $5 winning bet on any of the NBA or college basketball games happening on Wednesday, including Lakers vs. Cavaliers, Spurs vs. Rockets, and Texas vs. Auburn. The promo doesn't require a code, but users must meet the legal age requirement and deposit at least $5 to claim the bonus, which will be credited within 72 hours of the bet settling as a win.

Why it matters

This FanDuel promo provides sports bettors with a lucrative opportunity to boost their bankroll ahead of a busy night of basketball action. The $200 bonus can be used to place additional wagers, potentially leading to even bigger payouts for savvy bettors.

The details

The bonus bets expire after 7 days and can't be withdrawn, but any winnings from bets placed with the bonus funds will be credited to the user's account.
