Ahead of Thursday’s Kentucky sports betting, sportsbooks are doling out tons of promos — some with no deposit required, and some with a small bet and deposit.
Another key note for Kentucky bettors is that if you’ve already signed up for any of these sportsbooks in a neighboring state like Ohio, Indiana or Tennessee, you won’t be able to double dip and get the same sign-up bonuses again. It’s possible they send you another offer to re-engage you on their platform — DraftKings did this for Massachusetts bettors who had signed up in New Hampshire, which had been live for several years before Mass. — but it may not be the full amount.

All 6 Kentucky Pre-Reg Offers
1. FanDuel
- Bonus code: Use this link
- Offer: Get $100 with no deposit
- Age: 18+
FanDuel is giving all new Kentucky users $100 in bonus bets with no deposit required. As we mentioned above, if you’ve already signed up at FanDuel or DraftKings in another state, you likely won’t be able to claim these full bonuses, but the sportsbooks may have another offer available to you.
2. BetMGM
- Bonus code: TOPACTION
- Offer: $100 with no deposit
- Age: 21+
BetMGM is offering $100 with no deposit in Kentucky this week. The bonus bets will be split up into four, $25 bonus bets, which can’t be split down any further than that, and you’ll have a week to use them once they hit your account.
3. bet365
- Bonus code: TOPACTION
- Offer: Bet $1, get $365 in bonus bets (and $10 for each TD scored in Packers-Lions, up to $50)
- Age: 18+
bet365 has kind of a two-part offer — if you sign up on Wednesday, you’ll get $10 per touchdown scored in Packers-Lions on Thursday Night Football, up to $50. That portion of the offer will no longer be relevant after launch on Thursday.
Then once you bet $1 to activate your account after betting goes live, you’ll get $365 in bonus bets — by far the highest “bet/get” offer available in U.S. sports betting right now.

4. Caesars
- Bonus code: ACTION4KY
- Offer: Deposit $20, get $100 in bonus bets
- Age: 21+
Caesars is giving out $100 but requires a $20 deposit, unlike some of the other sportsbooks like FanDuel and BetMGM that are giving out bonus bets with no deposit required ahead of launch.
5. Fanatics Sportsbook
- Promo code: Use this link
- Offer: Bet $50, Get a $150 official jersey
- Age: 21+
Fanatics has gone in a different direction with its pre-launch offer, requiring users to bet $50 in exchange for an official jersey of their choice from Fanatics, up to $150 in total value.
You can’t make your $50 bet until Thursday, of course, and then you’ll have about a week to claim your jersey after they send you an email.

6. DraftKings
- Bonus code: No code needed
- Offer: Get $200
- Age: 18+
DraftKings is doling out $200 in bonus bets ahead of launch, and will also have some “no-brainer” boosts like it’s done in the past for all new users. Things like “Titans to score a single point” on Sunday boosted to +100.
