FanDuel is the market leader in sports betting and is using its might to push into the horse racing space, as well.
FanDuel Racing is offering new users a $20 no sweat first bet for the 2023 Kentucky Derby. That means if your wager loses, you’ll be refunded in bonus bets equal to what they lost, up to $20. There’s no promo code required. The best must be your first “to win” wager on the Kentucky Derby, and can’t be an exotic like an exacta. It has to be a straight-up winner on the race.

So here’s an example. Say you place $20 on Tapit Trice to win and he goes off at 5/1. If he wins, you’ll pocket $100 in winnings, plus the $20 you bet. If he loses, you’ll get back $20 in bonus bets.
If FanDuel Racing isn’t offered in your state, you can try TwinSpires, which is offering a mammoth $400 bonus for Kentucky Derby weekend. It’s available in 39 states and has the biggest sign-up bonus of any horse racing site this weekend.
