The $10 to $1,500 window
Your first wager has to fall between $10 and $1,500. Lose it and you get that full amount reimbursed. Win it and there is nothing to refund.
“Place an initial bet between $10 and $1,500 and receive a full reimbursement of that initial wager amount if your bet is unsuccessful.”
Bonus bets, not cash
The refund lands as a non-withdrawable bonus balance. You can play it on college football, the NFL, MLB or Premier League, but you cannot cash it out.
“Please note that the bonus balance is non-withdrawable.”
Fifteen states only
The offer runs in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington DC and Wyoming.
Last year's warning sign
Ohio State beat Texas in this same fixture a year ago, the first hint that Arch Manning's Longhorns were a step behind the sport's best.
“We'll see if things are different 365 days later.”
The key point
The offer refunds a losing first bet of $10 to $1,500 as bonus bets, not cash, and only in 15 listed states.
