DraftKings Sportsbook Offers $50 Bonus Bet This Christmas

Rich Migliorisi, Last Updated: September 3rd, 2024 - NJ Sports Betting - Free $3,250 For Sports Bets In New Jersey

We already thought DraftKings Sportsbook delivered our Christmas gift early when they upped their $200 deposit bonus to $500 free for new signups. That was a mega 150% increase on DraftKings’ original offer of $200 free to new signups. But apparently we were wrong. DraftKings is delivering to you a very special holiday offer. Starting Dec. 24 until January 1, DraftKings Sportsbook will be giving new signups a $50 Bonus Bet. This is on top of the $500 free deposit bonus! NJ sports betting has been receiving big gifts in revenue numbers, so why not give back to the player this holday season?

DraftKings $50 Bonus Bet Just In Time For NBA Christmas Games

To let you in on a little secret, we at BonusSeeker are big basketball fans. I, for one, am a Knicks fan. And, I for one, will be spending part of my Christmas watching the Knicks get owned by the Alphabet. Mario Hezonja better hope he gets a DNP because Giannis Antetokounmpo is looking for revenge. For those of you who may not remember, Super Mario thought it was a good idea to walk over the Alphabet after slamming home a dunk. This alone gives the game plenty of intrigue. But Giannis, who will be arguably the best player in the NBA some day (I do not mean ever,) is always one to watch. And I very much expect him to put up 40+, so putting money on the over against a Knicks defense that continues to struggle wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

Here is the full slate of games:

Game	Time	Channel
Bucks vs. Knicks	Noon	ESPN
Thunder vs. Rockets	3 p.m.	ABC
76ers vs. Celtics	5:30 p.m.	ABC
Lakers vs. Warriors	8 p.m.	ABC/ESPN
Trail Blazers vs. Jazz	10:30 p.m.	ESPN

Maybe I’m just being a basketball fan, but all of these game look great. The Thunder are playing great ball right now, but the Rockets just set the record for most three-pointers made in a game. The Rockets haven’t played as well as last season, but James Harden has been going off of late, so I expect a good one between he and Russell “triple-double at all costs” Westbrook. Personally, I am taking the Rockets at home. In fact, I would considering using that DraftKings $50 Bonus Bet.

The Sixers at Celtics should have a postseason atmosphere. The Sixers are another team playing extremely well, while the Celtics have dealt with some inconsistency. I’m not sure the Celtics can keep up with the trip of Embiid, Simmons and Butler.

So, how about that Lakers at Warriors matchup? Who wouldn’t want to watch LeBron James, who may be the greatest of all-time face Steph Curry, who may be the best shooter of all-time. Oh, and some guy named Kevin Durant. Do I need to mention the likes of Klay Thompson and Lonzo Ball, as well? Maybe Draymond Green and Lincoln High School’s own Lance Stephenson will stir the pot on Christmas. Depending on the spread, it might be worth to bet the Lakers.

The Jazz have been a bit of a disappointment and some of that is due to the play of Donovan Mitchell and Ricky Rubio. Both are shooting the ball worse this season than last and even Joe Ingles falls into the category. If you want to take a chance that Mitchell lights it up on Christmas, then maybe you can talk yourself into placing your DraftKings $50 Bonus Bet, but I am going to roll with Damian Lillard and the Blazers.

College Football Bowl Time Is Here

If those NBA games don’t interest you, well, there are plenty of college football bowl games from which to choose. The Cotton Bowl Classic and Orange Bowl are the headliners this year, as Notre Dame (3) takes on Clemsen (2) in the Cotton Bowl and Oklahoma (4) looks to shock Alabama (1) in the Orange Bowl.

And if you are a last minute sort of person, DraftKings $50 Bonus Bet last until January 1, giving you the opportunity to play all of those New Year’s Day bowl games, including the Rose Bowl.

DraftKings Sportsbook Keeps Rolling

November was another big month for DraftKings Sportsbook, as we saw NJ sports betting revenue numbers trickle in, DK managed to eclipse the $7 million mark in revenue, leading all competitors.

Even better for DraftKings, 72 percent of all sports bets made in New Jersey during November occurred either through a mobile device or online platform.

And now with this $50 Bonus Bet and a 150% increase in deposit bonus to $500, DraftKings Sportsbook will be looking forward to those December revenue numbers.

Happy Holidays from BonusSeeker!
