Maine sports betting has finally arrived, about 1.5 years after the bill passed. While up to four licenses were available through partnerships with the state’s tribes, only DraftKings and Caesars Sportsbook moved forward due to the high tax rate.
That gives bettors in the state a pair of options to bet (hey, it’s better than neighboring New Hampshire with only one) and $300 in total bonus value for opening weekend.
Caesars has a bet $50, get $100 in bonus bet⛎s offer ava🐽ilable in Maine. In other states, you get a $1,000 first bet on the house. DraftKings is offering $200 in bonus bets after a $5 wager in Maine.
Importantly, you cannot claim these offers if you’ve already signed up for DraftKings and Caesars in other states, like New Hampshire or Massachusetts. If you’ve only played DFS at DK, you can still claim the sportsbook offer.
Caesars Sportsbook Promo Code Maine
In Maine, you’ll get $100 from Caesars Sportsbook after you make a $50 wager as your first wager on the platform. Here are the important details to know:
- Use Caesars Sportsbook promo code BTOPME at checkout
- The $50 wager must be your first bet on the platform. You can’t make a $5 bet, then decide to make a $50 bet to activate the offer. You won’t be eligible unless it’s your first bet at Caesars.
- The $100 in bonus bets come back as two, $50 bonus bets. They can’t be split down any further than that.
- You’ll have 14 days to use the bonus bets
- Caesars bonus bets work like most other sportsbooks in which you keep any profit, but not the bonus bet itself. So a $50 bonus bet wager on the Patriots +120 pays $60 in cash.
DraftKings Sportsbook Promo Code Maine
DraftKings has a straightforward offer — just bet $5 on any moneyline and you’ll get $200 in bonus bets. There’s no playthrough requirement like on the deposit match from DK, as you only need to wager bonus bets once to turn them into cash, like Caesars.

How Bonus Bets Work
Let’s dive a little deeper into how bonus bets work. It’s the same at most sportsbooks, but they distribute the bonus bets a little differently. At Caesars, you’ll get two, $50 bonus bets in Maine as part of this promo. Other sites, like FanDuel or bet365, allow you to split up the bonus bets in any increments you’d like.
So say I take one o🐽f my $50𓆏 bonus bets and put it on Indiana moneyline and Wisconsin in Saturday college football action, priced at +300.
- If Indiana wins, I profit $150 in cash ($50 x 3.0) but don’t keep the $50 bonus bet itself. That $150 can be bet or withdrawn.
- If Indiana loses, the bonus bet just goes away.
