The NBA Finals are underway and it’s been an explosive start for the Denver Nuggets, who breezed to an 11-point win in game 1. Whether you’re looking to double down on the Joker in game 2, or instead back a Jimmy Buckets comeback, we’ve got you covered with the best betting offers out there!
Sportsbooks across the PA region are offering new bettors risk-free bets and matched deposits just for signing up for an account with them, giving you a huge opportunity to maximize the returns on your selections. We’ve found the best 5 for the NBA Finals.
Anytime you can get a promo from one of the biggest sportsbooks in the game, you grab it with both hands. The great thing with this is that there are no real requirements.
Let’s say you are betting $5 on the Heat to beat the Nuggets. You would get a $5 free bet to place on anything of your choosing. This works all the way up to the value of $1,000. So, if you’re a higher-stakes player, you can bag a risk-free shot at some big money!
So what if you want more bang for your buck? BetMGM is offering new users something a little different. If you bet any amount up to $1,000 on a single bet, they’ll refund your stake as a free bet if it loses. So if you wanted to bet $1,000 on Jimmy Butler to score more than 28 points in a game, there’s no risk if he doesn’t, as you get your money back if it loses as a free bet. Talk about value. If the bet wins, you have double your initial stake to bet on whatever you choose, or pull that money out and just play around with house money!
DraftKings is taking a similar approach to FanDuel only they’re 1-upping the competition. Instead of a free $150, you get a $100 free bet INSTANTLY. So you could bet $5 on any game of your choosing, and be given a $100 free bet just for doing so. Beats a $10 return if you ask me…
A matched deposit is a little different than a free bet and actually gives you more freedom. A free bet can typically only be used on one wager, so you have to get creative to maximize the returns. A matched deposit will see a cash balance added to your account that can be spent on anything. If it’s a $50 matched deposit, you may want to spend $10 on the Miami Heat to win the NBA Championship, bet $20 on the game this weekend, or even try your luck at the roulette wheel. The choice is yours.
Pennsylvania: $500
Arizona: $250
New Jersey: $250
Indiana: $100
Iowa: $100
Virginia: $100
Unibet is offering users a risk-free bet up to $500 depending on your location. They’ll refund any losing bets up to that amount, so it’s not as fancy as the DraftKings and FanDuel offers, but they do give you another avenue to get a free shot at some big money.
On top of that, they run live boosts during events such as NBA and MLB games, where odds will be given a 10/20% boost. This frequently sees Unibet offering the very best prices on a lot of the betting markets they offer.
