Sportsbooks Launch New Welcome Offers For Upcoming UFC And College Football Events

Bet365’s $365 offer requires the qualifying wager to include odds of -500 or longer and to settle within 30 days of claiming the promotion; the resulting bonus bets are non-withdrawable and expire after seven days.
Bet365 customers in Pennsylvania may also receive 50 online-casino spins, while New Jersey customers may receive 10 Golden Chips as additional benefits tied to the promotion.
Fanatics requires a minimum $10 deposit, and each daily qualifying wager must be at least $1 at odds of -500 or longer; returned FanCash expires after seven days. The promotion is available only in specified jurisdictions and excludes existing account holders.
BetMGM’s $1,500 version is available in a listed group of states and can be issued as up to five $300 bonus bets, while the alternative $150 version is delivered as three $50 bonus bets; both versions’ bonus bets expire after seven days.
The BetMGM promotion must be claimed by Sept. 1, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, ahead of the Sept. 19 UFC event.
Major sportsbooks are rolling out aggressive welcome offers for September 19 events, headlined by UFC 331 and college football matchups. Bet365 is giving new users $365 in bonus bets after a $10 qualifying wager, while BetMGM offers up to $1,500 in returned bonus bets for losing first wagers. Fanatics and FanDuel are also competing for new customers with daily bonuses and parlay boosts tied to the weekend's marquee events.
All promotions come with strict terms: bonus bets expire within seven days, require minimum odds of -500 or longer, and are subject to state restrictions and eligibility rules. Sportsbooks remind customers to review full terms and gamble responsibly before claiming any offer.
Bet365 is offering $365 in bonus bets to anyone who deposits at least $10 and places a single qualifying $10 wager, regardless of whether the bet wins or loses. The qualifying wager must carry odds of -500 or longer and must settle within 30 days. Bonus bets themselves are non-withdrawable and expire after seven days.
Pennsylvania customers can stack an additional 50 online-casino spins, while New Jersey customers get 10 Golden Chips as added perks. The promotion applies to both UFC 331 and college football games on September 19, giving new users multiple betting options to earn rewards.
BetMGM's welcome offer mirrors bet365's structure but rewards losses instead of flat bonuses. Eligible new users get up to $1,500 in returned bonus bets after their first wager loses. In select states, an alternative $150 offer delivers $50 bonus bets on a qualifying $10 winning wager. All bonus bets expire within seven days.
The $1,500 version gets issued as up to five $300 bonus bets, while the $150 version comes as three $50 bets. New users must claim the promotion by September 1, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time to qualify for UFC 331 and college football wagering on September 19. Availability varies by state.
Fanatics takes a different approach with its daily-wager promotion. New users can earn up to $1,000 in FanCash by wagering at least $1 daily for 10 consecutive days. If any daily bet loses, Fanatics returns up to $100 in FanCash per day. A $10 minimum deposit is required, and each qualifying wager must hit odds of -500 or longer.
FanDuel focuses on parlay and game-specific boosts instead of flat bonuses. The sportsbook offers a 30% boost on three-leg UFC parlays and a 50% boost on the Florida-Auburn college football game. All promotions exclude existing account holders and carry seven-day expiration periods on earned credits. Availability is limited to specified jurisdictions.
