Even though Week 1 of college football is technically a week away, the 2024 college football season kicks off Saturday with four games taking place in Week 0. If you’re looking for college football betting promos and sign-up offers, there are seven choices available for you to consider in this article below.

Best college football betting promos and sign-up bonuses

DraftKings promo code

Offer & link: Bet $5, get $200 in instant bonus bets + one month of NFL+ Premium when you click this link in AZ, CO, DC, IA, IL, IN, LA, KS, KY, MA, MI, MD, NC, NJ, OH, PA, VT, TN, VA, WV, WY

Sign up for the DraftKings promo code and place your first bet of $5 or more. After your bet slip is submitted, DraftKings will issue you $200 in bonus bets. You’ll only be able to wager these bonus bets as eight $25 wagers over seven days.

But you’ll also get the perk of one month of NFL+ Premium on the house. Check your email address and see how to claim this perk. With the NFL season right around the corner, this is a great time to take advantage of this service.

FanDuel promo code

Offer & link: Bet $5, get $200 in instant bonus bets + three weeks of NFL Sunday Ticket when you click this link in AZ, CO, CT, IL, TN, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, VA, VT, WV, WY

Along with DraftKings, the FanDuel promo code is one of the most popular and easy to redeem promos in the business. $200 in instant bonus bets will be issued when you submit a $5 minimum first bet. These bonus bets expire in seven days but can be used freely however you want on the platform.

The other perk that comes with this promo is three weeks of NFL Sunday Ticket. Similarly to the NFL+ Premium offered by DraftKings, you can see how to make NFL Sunday Ticket yours by checking your email before the season begins on Sept. 5.

Fanatics Sportsbook promo

Offer & link: Bet and get up to $1,000 in bonus bets when you click this link in AZ, CO, CT, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, WY

The Fanatics Sportsbook promo is unique in that your first bet each of the first ten days your account is active will be matched as a bonus bet. You can bet as much as $100 on each of your first ten days to get your matched bonus bet that expires in seven days. This means $1,000 is the maximum bonus you can grab.

In order for this promo to work each day, two things must happen. Firstly, your bet needs to have -200 or longer odds, regardless if it’s a straight bet or a parlay. Secondly, you must apply this promo to your bet slip before clicking submit each day.

Also, be sure to log in each day to be opted into Fanatics’ current promotion, which gives out FanCash each day to select players that can be used to purchase a jersey of your choosing by clicking this link.

bet365 bonus code RGNEWS

Offers: $1,000 first bet safety net or bet $5, get $150 in guaranteed bonus bets in AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NH, OH, VA

Offer: Bet $5, get $150 in guaranteed bonus bets + 50 casino spins in PA

The first sportsbook promo code to offer multiple sign-up promos you can choose between is the bet365 bonus code RGNEWS. Use this code and select $1,000 in first bet insurance (which pays you bonus bets equal to your stake if your first bet loses) or $150 in bonus bets after you settle your first bet that’s at least $5.

In Pennsylvania, 50 casino spins for bet365 Casino are included in your promo with $150 in bonus bets. Code RGNEWS remains what you need to use in the Keystone State, just like everywhere else.

The only requirement of note with bet365 is they have a -500 or longer minimum odds requirement. This is more flexible than Fanatics’, and bet365 will also allow you to spend your bonus bets however you want like you can on FanDuel over the next week.

BetMGM bonus codes RGTOP & RGNEWS1600

Offers & code: $1,500 first bet insurance with code RGTOP or 20 percent deposit match up to $1,600 in sports bonus with code RGNEWS1600 in AZ, CO, DC, IL, IN, IA, LA, KS, KY, MA, MD, MI, NJ, NC,, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY

Offer & code: $1,500 first bet insurance with code RGTOP in OH

BetMGM follows in bet365’s footsteps by having two different promos available for you to pick from using two BetMGM bonus codes (with the exception of those in Ohio).

The simpler choice of the two is code RGTOP, which gives you one bonus bet back equal to your stake if your first loses and is then $50. If your first bet is $50 or more, you’ll get five bonus bets equal to 20 percent of your stake.

On the other hand, code RGNEWS1600 lets you get a sports bonus equal to 20 percent of your first cash deposit up to $8,000. A 10x wagering requirement will need to be met after you get your sports bonus within 30 days, so keep that in mind if you’re considering this option.

Caesars Sportsbook promo code RGTOP1000

Offer & link: $1,000 first bet insurance with code RGTOP1000 after you click this link in AZ, CO, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, ME, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY

Another form of first bet insurance being offered Saturday comes from the Caesars Sportsbook promo code RGTOP1000. This lets you wager as much as $1,000 and get one bonus bet back equal to your stake if you lose.

While only getting back one bonus bet is a bit limiting, Caesars Sportsbook makes up for it with the perk of you having 14 days to use it before it expires rather than seven like every other sportsbook I’ve covered.

ESPN BET promo code RGNEWS

Offer: $1,000 first bet insurance in AZ, CO, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV

Don’t let the fact that the ESPN BET promo code RGNEWS being last on this list deter you. This promo code is worth redeeming as your first bet up to $1,000 will be covered, meaning you’ll get one bonus bet back if you lose just like on Caesars Sportsbook.

The only difference between ESPN BET and Caesars is you only have seven days before your bonus bet expires if you sign up for ESPN BET.
