Caesars Sportsbook DC Promo Code Explained
So how does this Caesars Sportsbook offer work, anyway? If your first bet loses, you’ll be refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost. The max bonus available is $1,000 in bonus bets.
Let’s say you deposit $100 and put it all on the Washington Commanders to beat the Miami Dolphins in Saturday’s preseason game, priced at +110 at Caesars DC at time of publish.
- If the Commanders win, you profit $110 ($100 x 1.1) and keep your $100 stake. You now have a $210 cash balance in your account, and the sign-up promo is over. You can withdraw that money or continue betting.
- If the Commanders lose, you get a $100 bonus bet that expires in 14 days.
So how does the bonus bet work? You keep any profit from a bonus bet wager, but not the stake of the bet itself. You can take the $100 bonus bet from the Commanders lose scenario above and put it on the Panthers to beat the Saints in Week 1 of the NFL regular season, priced at +170.
- If the Panthers win, you profit $170 in cash and the Caesars Sportsbook DC promo code ACTION41000 offer is over. You can withdraw that money or continue betting it.
- If the Panthers lose, your bonus bet is gone and you’re left with $0.
That’s why this is called “first bet insurance.” There is some risk involved, as you can lose your entire deposit if your first two bets at Caesars Sportsbook DC lose.
Caesars is also unique in that it gives back your bonus bet as a single bet credit, so you only get one shot to earn cash back. Most other sportsbooks break your bonus bets up into pre-split increments (like DraftKings and BetMGM), or allow you to bet them in any increment you’d like (i.e. FanDuel and bet365).

Signing Up at Caesars Sportsbook DC
If you signed up at Caesars Sportsbook in another state, you can sign up again in DC and have a separate balance, also known as a multi-wallet. This is different than almost all other online sportsbooks now as your cash balance cannot be used in multiple states. However, you’re not eligible for the first bet insurance promo, though it may be initially awarded and then revoked from your new account.

- Make your first bet, up to $1,000.

Washington D.C. Sports Betting Timeline
Washington D.C. has had a bit of a weird sports betting journey, but it’s starting to make sense now, with most of the country’s biggest sportsbook operators now live in the district.

Here’s the timeline:
- May 2020: GambetDC launches as the district-exclusive operator. It’s run by the lottery, and is more or less a disaster.
- June 2021: BetMGM Sportsbook launches in Nationals Park — you can only bet if you’re within a two-block radius.
- August 2021: Caesars Sportsbook goes live in Capital One Arena, with a similar setup to BetMGM — you can use the Caesars Sportsbook online platform, but only in and around the stadium.
- March 2024: FanDuel replaces GambetDC as the district-wide mobile sports betting platform.
- July 2024: FanDuel’s exclusivity is lifted, and other online sportsbooks are allowed to offer their products district-wide, including BetMGM, DraftKings, and Caesars Sportsbook.
