TwinSpires Promo Code “SBD” Gets Up to $410 Signup Bonus

If you’re new to TwinSpires, you can
claim up to $410 in bonuses

for using promo code SBD when signing up ahead of the Kentucky Derby. The full value is broken down into two different bonuses: (1) a $400 signup bonus and (2) a $10 money back offer. The former is only available to new users, since it is a signup bonus, and requires the code SBD, while the latter is available to all players and does not require any code.

The $400 signup bonus comes with some important terms and conditions to know:

  • The bonus will be credited to your account in increments of $100
  • Each $100 increment will be released after $400 is wagered

This means the bonus can be worth either $100, $200, $300, or $400 depending on how much you wish to wager. In order to claim the full $400 bonus, you would have to wager $1,600. The good news is you have 30 days from creating your account to claim the full bonus, meaning you could bet $400 on Derby Day and have $100 in bonus cash released, then bet another $400 prior to your 30-day window closing (maybe on the Preakness Stakes on May 18) and receive another $100 in bonus cash.

Here’s what you’ll need when signing up for a new account at TwinSpires:

  1. Provide your preferred email address and create a username & password
  2. Have a piece of government-issued ID ready (driver’s license, SSN etc) to verify your identity and address
  3. Have your preferred deposit method available

TwinSpires' money back offer for Kentucky Derby

The $10 money back offer is much simpler. All you need to do is opt in and you will receive up to $10 back on your first single horse “to win” bet as long as your horse runs 2nd or 3rd in the race. Again, this offer can be claimed by all users. So, if you find it a little too difficult to satisfy the requirements for the $400 signup bonus, you can always just fall back on TwinSpires’ money back offer.

FanDuel Racing Promo Offers a $500 No Sweat First Bet

FanDuel Racing is offering new players a great . This means you can wager up to $500 on your first bet, and if it loses, you will win your full wager back (up to $500) in bonus credits. FanDuel Racing’s promo is available right now and through to the start of the Kentucky Derby on May 4th.

In order to claim the $500 no sweat first bet, you must

  1. Reside in one of the following states: AR, CA, DE, FL, ID, MN, MT, NH, NM, ND, OR, RI, SD, or WA
  2. You must be a new user to FanDuel. (So, if you have been using their sportsbook in a state with legal online sports betting, you unfortunately will not be able to claim the $500 no sweat first bet. If this is you, scroll down a little further)
  3. Make a minimum first deposit of $10

Your refund will be issued in non-withdrawable Racing site credit, in the amount that you wagered (up to $500), that will expire seven days after receipt. So, be sure to use it within those seven days. (Sadly, the Preakness Stakes is two weeks after the Kentucky Derby.)
