Explore reviews and ratings for leading online sports betting sites and bookmakers in Rhode Island. Despite the recent legalization of sports betting in the state, options and bonuses are limited due to the Rhode Island Lottery being the sole operator. Check out potential promotions and bonuses that may become available to sports bettors in Rhode Island in the future.

Rhode Island sports betting bonuses

Here are the current bonuses offered by other prominent sportsbooks that may enter the Rhode Island sports betting market in the future:

Caesars Rhode Island bonuses

In the event that your initial qualifying bet is unsuccessful, Caesars will provide you with a bet credit matching the value of your first wager, up to $1000. To take advantage of this offer, simply enter the promo code ‘SBRBONUS1000’ when signing up with Caesars, if they become available in Rhode Island. The bet credit must be used in its entirety within 14 days and cannot be split between multiple bets.

BetMGM Rhode Island bonuses

If you are a new customer signing up for an account with BetMGM, you can receive up to $1,500 in bonus bets. To claim this offer, use the BetMGM bonus code ‘SBRBONUS’ in states where BetMGM is licensed and operating.

If your first bet of $50 or more loses, you will receive five bonus bets equal to 20% of the total amount of your bet, up to $1,500. If your bet is less than $50 and loses, you will receive a single bonus bet equal to the total amount of your bet. For example, if you place a $1,000 bet and lose, you will receive five $200 bonus bets. If you place a $49 bet and lose, you will receive one $49 bonus bet.

FanDuel Rhode Island bonuses

Sign up as a new user on FanDuel and make your first deposit through the mobile app to be eligible for a welcome bonus. Simply place a moneyline bet of $5 or more and if you win, you’ll receive $150 in bonus bets. The bonus will be credited to your account within 72 hours and will expire on December 11, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET. No promo code is required to take advantage of this offer.

DraftKings Rhode Island bonuses

DraftKings is offering new customers the chance to receive $200 in bonus bets when they place a wager of $5 or more on any betting market, regardless of the odds or outcome of the bet.

The qualifying wager must be the first bet placed of $5 or more. The bonus will be awarded as eight $25 bonus bets, which cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred, or refunded, and will expire after seven days. No DraftKings promo code is needed.

A minimum deposit of $5 and a minimum bet of $5 are required. Offer limited to one per new customer.

PointsBet Rhode Island bonuses

PointsBet gives new players a $100 bonus bet for each of their first five days as a member. To maximize this offer, players must be highly engaged in their first week as a member. While PointsBet used to be known for their generous new player promotions, they have scaled back like many others in the industry.

Barstool Rhode Island bonuses

Barstool_G typically offers a sign-up bonus of $1,000 in the form of a bonus bet for new users in most areas. They may occasionally refer to it as a “2 for 1” deal, but it is essentially a standard welcome bonus. This bonus bet ensures that if your initial wager loses, you will receive a refund up to $1,000, as they match your first bet rather than your deposit.

Stay tuned for the rebranding and relaunch of Barstool as ESPN Bet in November 2023, as the partnership between ESPN and PENN Entertainment continues to evolve.

Sports to bet on with Rhode Island bonuses

Rhode Island bettors can expect a wide range of professional and amateur sports to choose from when placing their bets, with some of the most popular options being:

NFL

Despite being the smallest state in the union, Rhode Island has a strong interest in NFL betting. While the selection of sports betting sites may be limited, there is no shortage of NFL markets to choose from. Residents and visitors alike can wager on a wide variety of outcomes for each regular-season and playoff game, such as which team will score first and who will make the opening touchdown.

NCAA Football

College football bettors in Rhode Island have a mixed bag of news when it comes to their betting options. Although they can bet on most NCAA football games, they are not allowed to wager on teams from Rhode Island or games being played within the state’s borders.

NBA

Fortunately, bettors in Rhode Island do not have any restrictions when it comes to placing bets on NBA games. There are numerous markets available for Rhode Islanders to wager on, including NBA championship futures, in-season spreads, totals, player points, team fouls, and even the method of the game’s first points. To get started, check out our recommendations for the top NBA betting sites.

NCAA Basketball

In the NCAA basketball betting world, the regulations are similar to those in college football, prohibiting Rhode Island residents and visitors from wagering on in-state teams or games. However, there are still numerous teams and betting options available on a nightly basis throughout the season, leading up to the excitement of March Madness.

MLB ⚾

During July and August, the “Boys of Summer” take center stage for sports bettors, especially those in Rhode Island looking to increase their bankroll. Betting on MLB games offers a variety of options, including moneyline, runline, and totals bets, as well as team and player props and innings plays on Rhode Island’s sports betting site.

NHL

The winter can seem endless for many people, particularly sports bettors once the Super Bowl is over. Luckily, there are other sports to turn to during this time, with hockey being a top choice. Although Rhode Islanders may not have as many betting options for hockey as they do for the NFL or NBA, there is still plenty of exciting puck action to bet on and enjoy.

Golf ⛳

You don’t need clubs, gloves, or quirky pants to make a good profit on the golf course! Let the professionals handle it for you: whether you’re taking longshot outright bets, wagering on a top golfer to miss the cut, or focusing on head-to-head matchups, there are plenty of golf betting options that are simple to understand. And don’t worry, you can still wear those goofy pants if you so desire.

Soccer ⚽

Residents of Rhode Island have the opportunity to bet on professional football games from September to February, as well as international soccer leagues virtually year-round. They can wager on popular leagues such as the English Premier League, Italy’s Serie A, and the German Bundesliga, in addition to the local MLS.
