Note: Some states require you to complete your sign up in-person before you’re allowed to bet online.

Even if you don’t live in a state that allows sports betting, you can still take advantage of this incredible promotion if you’re within state lines where it’s live at sign-up.

Step 3: Make Your First Deposit

It’s easy to fund your FanDuel Sportsbook betting account! You can deposit into your account using a credit card, bank account, PayPal, wire transfer, or in person at a FanDuel Sportsbook retail location.

Win big? You can easily withdraw cash from your FanDuel Sportsbook account by linking your bank account. Payouts typically process within 24 hours.

Step 4: Place Your Bet

You can place your risk-free bet up to $1,000 by clicking your preferred betting line in the FanDuel Sportsbook.

Once selected, the box will turn blue, and your selection will show in your “bet slip.”

From there, you simply enter the amount you want to wager and click the green “Place Bets” icon to lock in your bet.

That leads us to our final step…
