We’ve reached the final match of the Copa America tournament between Argentina and Colombia at 8 p.m. ET on FOX. This is the culmination of the best teams across North and South America, of which Argentina was the favorite from the beginning.
Just like any other sporting event you prefer, you can activate welcome promos from top sports betting apps on the Copa America final. Here is the complete list of those welcome offers from major sportsbooks that can be activated via a first bet on Copa America or any other sports you prefer.
FanDuel promo code: no code necessary
FanDuel is widely available in 22 legal sports betting states. The following national promo can be unlocked by new customers in any of those locations by clicking this link or the module below.
You’ll need at least a $10 deposit and $5 bet on any type of bet you prefer within FanDuel. Next, the promo plays out depending on how your bet settles.
Let’s say I grab Argentina -184 to win the tournament. While this doesn’t provide the biggest payout, it has a statistically-high chance of winning which is required to earn the bonus.
The FanDuel bonus bets are treated like currency that can be used within the app but cannot be withdrawn since they aren’t cash. You can use them to fund wagers for potential cash if the bet hits.

DraftKings promo code: no code necessary
DraftKings provides one of the easiest first bet offers around that only requires a new account, accessible by clicking here, a $5 deposit and wager to get started. After submitting your $5 wager, you instantly earn $150 in bonus bets.
Next, depending on the bet outcome, you can also profit cash if your bet hits. Since there is no market or odds requirement, you can pick a favorite for a better chance at winning and therefore lowering the upfront cost of the promo.
Using the same bet from the FanDuel example, this means a $5 deposit and wager on Argentina -184 earns $150 in bonus bets right after submitting the bet. Then, if Argentina does win, you would also profit $2.72 and keep your $5 stake meaning your account would show $150 in bonus bets and $7.72 in cash.
You’ll have seven days to use the bonus funds within the DraftKings mobile app for a chance to convert the bonus bets to cash through a winning bet.
DraftKings recently split its welcome promos among locations and this promo works the exact same as the one mentioned above. The only difference is the states listed above earn $300 in instant bonus bets from the $5 deposit and wager.
Just like the other offer, you’ll have seven days to use the bonus funds throughout the platform to potentially earn cash. You can click this link to find the $300 offer or use the module below.
BetMGM bonus code: SHNEWS1600 or HANDLETOP
BetMGM is the first sportsbook on our list that provides the choice between two offers upon sign-up as a new customer. However, while most states qualify, New York is excluded from both promos.
This is one of the only deposit match offers currently available among top sports betting sites. You’ll need at least a $10 deposit to start triggering the sports bonus; however, it’s entirely up to you on how much to deposit as long as you meet the minimum threshold of $10.
After depositing and earning the bonus, you’ll need to meet a wagering requirement that’s 10x the bonus earned within 30 days. For example, a $500 deposit that earns $100 in bonus would require $1,000 in total cash bets in the time frame in order to access any cash winnings in your account.
You’ll find many first bet insurance offers on this page. However, BetMGM has the highest value coverage at $1,500 and only requires a $10 deposit and cash bet to get started.
Imagine I placed $500 on Colombia +330 to win in regulation vs. Argentina. Here’s how the first bet insurance would work:
BetMGM deposits the bonus bets based on the size of your missed stake:
$50 or less — BetMGM deposits the bonus bets in a single chunk to use
$51 or more — BetMGM sends five payments of bonus bets to equal whatever your stake was up to $1,500
bet365 bonus code: SHNEWS (valid for either offer)
bet365 offers another first bet insurance up to $1,000 in bonus bets. While it isn’t the highest value first bet insurance, bet365 is a fan favorite with user interface, competitive odds and the speed of bonus bet deposits.
First, if your bet misses, bonus bets hit your account within an hour of bet settlement. This is the fastest bonus bet turnaround you’ll find among the books on this page.
Just like FanDuel, these bonus bets are not deposited in chunks but rather like currency. That means they can be split however you prefer across multiple wagers at a chance for cash.
Meanwhile, this bet/get promo can be extremely high value but comes with a few requirements. You’ll need a new account with the bonus code SHNEWS, a minimum $10 deposit and at least $5 on -500 or greater odds.
This means a large favorite such as a -750 moneyline wouldn’t be eligible while Argentina -184 over Colombia is fine. However, you aren’t limited to moneylines so you can find another market with odds that qualify.
No matter how the bet settles, the $150 in bonus bets hits your account within an hour. The bonus funds work the same as the safety net and are valid to use within bet365 for up to seven days.
ESPN BET promo code: SHNEWS
ESPN BET, from media giant ESPN, is a slick betting app that has quickly expanded its platform to 18 states. Just like many on this list, ESPN BET provides a $1,000 first bet insurance for new customers in any location.
You’ll need a new account, manually apply the promo code SHNEWS (required by ESPN BET), a minimum $10 deposit and a cash bet of any size. A win profits cash while a loss is reimbursed via bonus bets to use within seven days.
Why choose ESPN BET over some other $1K insurances on this list?
It is offered in more states than bet365 and provides some exceptional pricing, markets and live betting which stand out over some other platforms on this page.
Fanatics Sportsbook promo code: no code necessary
The Fanatics Sportsbook promos are unique and you’ll find the national offer across 20 states while Ohio users will find a different promo.
You’ll need to opt-in in your account settings each day and place a bet of any size on -200 or greater odds, such as a +135 anytime goal scorer or +185 draw between soccer teams. No matter how the bet settles, you earn a bonus bet match up to a maximum $200 on that particular day.
Each day works the same, starting with the account opt-in and the first bet following the odds restriction. It’s entirely up to you on how much to wager and you can profit some cash along the way if your bets hit.
It’s OK to skip a day of betting with no penalty or forfeiting any bonus bets earned. If you skip a day, it just means you can’t earn bonus bets on that particular day.
The Ohio offer is similar in that it is a daily bet match but the structure is different. Here is the day-by-day structure of the Ohio alternate offer:
The other requirements are the same since you must opt-in each day you wish to bet and the bets must be on -200 or greater odds. No matter how the bet plays out, you earn the bonus bet match from the wager alone.
Caesars Sportsbook promo code: HANDLENEWS1000
We round out the list with one more first bet insurance. Caesars requires a new account along with a minimum $10 deposit and wager.
The mechanics of this promo works the same as the other first bet insurances on this list. However, the bonus bet payout differs from books such as bet365.
You can earn a single bonus bet chunk that equals your stake loss; however, this bonus bet chunk cannot be split across multiple wagers. So, if I wager $100 and lose, earning a $100 bonus bet, I must use the bonus bet on a $100 wager.
The good news is you’ll have 14 days to decide on how to use the bonus bet chunk, should your first bet miss. Otherwise, if you won the first bet, you have cash in your account that can be withdrawn or used across other wagers on the Caesars platform.
