The Super Bowl is always the most bet-on event of the year across sportsbooks in the U.S. Betting sites have begun cutting back on how much they’re willing to give to players who sign up for new accounts during the Super Bowl betting frenzy. They know you’ll want to bet on what color the Gatorade will be, and they don’t have to do anything to get you to do it. But this year, we are presented with a unique opportunity and strategy that makes the NFL Conference Championship games the most appealing matchups to bet on if you want to claim bonus funds to play with.
If you want to bet on the Super Bowl this year, sign up for new accounts now, and place your first bets on the Conference Championship games. Why? Because a few sites are offering promos now that will expire before the Super Bowl and are better than the promos you might find for the big game.
Some leading sportsbooks have already informed us they won’t have any Super Bowl-specific sign-up promos this year, so take advantage of these offers before they’re gone.
Best AFC/NFC Championship Betting Promos
*21+. Gambling problem? Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER.
Place your first wager at BetMGM up to $1,000 on the NFL Conference Championship, and if it loses, you’ll get paid back the same amount as your first wager in bet credits. The bet credits expire in 7 days if they’re not used, so this gives you the perfect opportunity to place early wagers on the Super Bowl if your Conference Championship bets didn’t hit.
The added perk with this promo is that you will also get two free months of Stokastic+ Platinum, win or lose. This will give you a massive edge over the competition if you build DFS lineups for the Super Bowl. You can use premium tools like Stokastic’s lineup builder, expert-crafted projections, and premium Discord access featuring Stokastic’s DFS pros and other top players to prepare before the big game adequately.

FanDuel: Bet $5 on the AFC/NFC Championship and Get $150 Guaranteed
*21+. Gambling problem? Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER.
FanDuel is running a promo tailored explicitly for the NFL Playoffs that expires on January 29th. All you have to do is sign up for a FanDuel Sportsbook account and deposit at least $10. Then, place a simple $5 bet on the Conference Championships, and whether that bet wins or loses, you’ll get $150 ($200 if you’re in Ohio) in bonus bets guaranteed that you can use towards Super Bowl wagers. The bonus bets at FanDuel expire 14 days after receipt, giving you a little more time to let the betting menus build compared to the BetMGM promo mentioned above.

DraftKings: Bet $5 on the AFC/NFC Championship and Get $200 in Bonus Bets Instantly
*21+. Gambling problem? Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER.
DraftKings offers essentially the same promo as FanDuel but with minor differences worth knowing. This promo expires on Super Bowl Sunday. All you have to do is sign up for a new DraftKings Sportsbook account, deposit at least $5, and place a wager of at least $5 on the NFL Conference Championship games, and you’ll get $200 in bonus bets instantly, win or lose, that you can use to wager on the Super Bowl.
The catch is that your bonus bets are given to you as eight (8) $25 bet credits instead of a flat sum to wager freely. Depending on your Super Bowl betting strategy, this could be seen as a positive or negative perk having to use so many smaller wagers. You also must use those bet credits within 7 days of receipt instead of the 14-day cushion you get from a similar promo at FanDuel. Either way, this is still a great deal.
