How do the Barstool promo code and free bets work?
Sportsbooks all use slightly different language for their promotions, and we have already covered them in-depth.
Here’s how the promo offer works:
- Click one of our promotional links or download the Barstool Sportsbook app
- Make sure you sign up with Barstool Sportsbook promo code ACTNEWS1000 to qualify for the risk-free bet
- Deposit at least $10
- Place your first bet
Possible promo outcomes on your first bet:
- If your first bet wins: you keep the winnings and your deposit
- If your first bet loses: you’ll get refunded in bonus cash (aka free bets) equal to that first wager.
Let’s dive into an example from one of Sunday’s games. Let’s say you sign up, deposit $500 and bet it all on the Giants -2.5 against the Eagles.
- If the Giants win: you win $454, and keep the original $500.
- If the Giants lose: you’ll get $500 in bonus cash (aka free bets).
- If your bonus cash bets win: You keep the profit, not the bonus cash.
- If your bonus cash bets lose: you end up with nothing.
Now pretend the Giants somehow lose your risk-free bet — you’ve got $500 in bonus cash to wager.
You decide to bet everything on the Raiders moneyline this upcoming Monday Night Football against the Chiefs at +240.
- If the Raiders win: you profit $1200 ($500 x 2.4) but don’t keep the $500 free bet.
- If the Raiders lose: you end up with nothing.
So if they win, you’ve now profited $800 ($1200 – $500 you put in) on your initial deposit.
Other things to know: You must use your bonus cash within 30 days, or it will be revoked. And you cannot wager on anything longer than -200 odds, or else your bonus cash won’t convert to real cash (but you want to use your free bets on longshots, anyway). That means a -150 bet is OK, but -300 isn’t.
How to Use Your Risk-Free Bets
The optimal way to use your risk-free bets, mathematically anyway, is on plus-money wagers. That’s because you’re getting much more expected value from +250 or +500 wagers — the higher the line, the more value.
But not everyone wants to squander their big free bets on longshots, even if it’s mathematically optimal.
