With more professional sports teams than any other state in the country, California is considered the whale in the push for legalized sports betting. Add in the nearly 40 million people in the market, and California sports betting will be a major deal when the state finally legalizes it.

Though there have been several tries to pass legislation, as recently as November 2022 in fact, The Golden State has yet to pass anything significant. When it does go through, FanDuel Sportsbook will surely be one of the first to enter the market, as we dive into the details today regarding exactly what you can expect.

No, FanDuel Sportsbook is not yet legal in California, nor is any legal sports betting for that matter. Though there is nothing in stone in terms of timeline, the next potential vote could be in November 2024, making mid-2025 the soonest possible time we could expect to see California sports betting legalized.

Which promo will FanDuel offer in California?

Should sports betting become legal, it is expected that FanDuel may roll out promotions similar to those it offers in other states. 

One such promotion is the welcome offer, where new users signing up for a FanDuel account could receive $150 in Bonus Bets plus a 3-month trial of NBA League Pass, provided their first wager of $5 wins. This promotion is typically open to individuals in states where FanDuel operates and who meet the eligibility criteria, including age and physical presence in the specified states during the promotion period. 

Participants must sign up for a new FanDuel Account, make a minimum deposit of $10, and place a qualifying bet of $5. It's important for potential participants to carefully review the eligibility criteria, action required, and the process for claiming the offer as outlined in FanDuel's promotion terms.

Important terms and conditions for bonuses FanDuel could offer

When accepting bonus offers from FanDuel, or any CA gambling site for that matter, being aware of the terms and conditions is important. Here are the conditions FanDuel has in other states.

  • You must place an initial wager of at least $5 on any FanDuel Sportsbook market to be eligible for the $150 in bonus bets plus a 3-month trial of NBA League Pass, which you will only receive if your first bet is a win.
  • Your only chance to benefit from this promotion is by wagering real money for the first time; pre-existing bets from your account do not count toward this promotion.
  • Upon meeting the promotion's conditions, the bonus bets will be credited to your account within 72 hours, letting you wager on most markets except for Round Robin and YourWay bets.
  • To activate the promotion, you need to deposit a minimum of $10 into your new FanDuel account, noting that deposits made at physical locations or via PayNearMe don't satisfy this requirement.
  • Winnings from bets placed using bonus funds are withdrawable, but the stake itself is not returned, either as cash or site credit.

Possible fixes if the FanDuel CA promo doesn’t work

If you're experiencing issues with the FanDuel CA bonus not working once sports betting becomes legal in California and assuming FanDuel will extend a similar offer as described in other states, here are several troubleshooting steps you can take. 

Initially, try refreshing the web page to see if this resolves the issue. If not, clearing your browser's cache and cookies could help, as outdated data can sometimes cause problems with online promotions.

If these steps don't fix the problem, consider using a different web browser or ensure that your current browser is updated to the latest version. Sometimes, browser-specific issues can prevent promotions from working as intended.

If the problem persists, reach out to FanDuel's customer support for assistance. Provide them with any relevant details about the issue you're facing, including any error messages you're seeing. Customer support is there to help resolve such issues and guide you through making sure you can access the promotion as intended.

Why will FanDuel offer a welcome bonus?

FanDuel will offer a welcome bonus for California residents because it will be vying for business with the plethora of competitors likely to be entering the market at the same time. Make sure to check back to this page for the best FanDuel welcome bonus offers.

When will FanDuel have a promo in CA?

FanDuel will have a promo in CA as soon as the sportsbook goes live. While there is still no timeline for that, we’ll have all the best promos live on this page as soon as they become available.

Other bonuses that could come to FanDuel Sportsbook CA

Though it’s not yet clear which promos and bonuses are coming to FanDuel Sportsbook CA, we can draw some conclusions based on the bonuses currently available in other states. Let’s look at a few of the top California betting bonuses we could expect when FanDuel reaches California.

  • No-sweat same-game parlay: A same-game parlay is a bet where you must hit multiple different bets or legs combined into one wager, all within the same game. This promotion allows for a refund, if you lose, in the form of bonus bets.
  • Profit boost: Often centered around a specific event such as Thursday Night Football, you must opt into this bonus by selecting “Claim Now” on the promotions page. The idea is that your winnings will be “boosted” by as much as 50% if you win your bet. Bets made using bonus bets, site credit, or already boosted odds are ineligible.

Signing up for FanDuel in California

Many in the industry, including myself, believe it’s just a matter of when not if we see California sports betting. Let’s look at the few basic steps required to sign up for FanDuel Sportsbook California when it does go live.

  1. Navigate to Sportsbook.FanDuel.com through our link to lock in the welcome reward and click on the green “Join Now” button in the upper right-hand corner.
  2. From here, select your state (California), enter your email, and choose your username and password.
  3. Follow the screens to enter your basic information including your first and last name, address, phone number, and last four digits of your Social Security number.
  4. Once your account is verified, all that’s left is to deposit funds and begin your betting.

What kinds of wagers will there be on FanDuel Sportsbook?

There will be many types of bet types available on FanDuel Sportsbook California as soon as it goes live. If you are just starting out sports betting, or simply need a refresher, here are a few of the most common betting types.

  • Moneyline bet: The most common type of bet, the moneyline bet is simply choosing which team will win. The team with a negative (-) is the favorite, or expected team to win, while the team with a positive (+) is the underdog.
  • Over/under bet: Also known as a “total,” an over/under wager is a bet on the combined score between two teams in a game. An example of this would be if the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers total was set at 212, the two teams' combined scores would have to be over 212 for the “over” to win. Conversely, if they combine to score less than 212, the “under” would be a winner.
  • Parlay Bet: A parlay is a bet that involves two or more bets, all of which must be correct to win. The more bets or legs in your parlay, the higher the payout should they all be correct.
  • Future Bet: A future bet is a wager on a season-long outcome either before the season starts or during it. An example of this would be to bet on the Los Angeles Rams to win the Super Bowl in July before any games are played.
