The NFL season gets underway Thursday with the long-awaited AFC Championship rematch between the Ravens and Chiefs. 

Mahomes and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs will face off against Lamar Jackson and the high-octane Ravens offense to set the tone for the season. 

If you're looking to get in on Thursday Night Football action, you can sign up for the best NFL betting promos in the industry from bet365, Fanatics Sportsbook DraftKings and other sportsbooks. 

The list below houses the modules for the main offer from each sportsbook. We'll provide more context and highlight any additional offers in the subsections below. 

Best NFL betting promos

Best NFL betting promos, explained

We've hyperlinked each of the offers below and provided a bit more information about the promotional structure of each and where its available. 

1. bet365 bonus code BARKER

There are two offers live from the international betting giant and both can be accessed with the bet365 bonus code BARKER. 

Both offers are available in 10 states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, VA). 

In addition to these two offers, players in Pennsylvania can sign up with the bet365 bonus code BARKER to get up to $200 in bonus bets plus 50 casino spins. 

$1K First Bet Safety Net

Like most bet insurance offers, you'll only get bonus bets if you don't win on your first wager. In that event, you can get up to $1K in bonus bets. 

You can claim this offer here and input the bet365 bonus code BARKER when prompted. 

You'll need to place a wager of at least $10 to trigger this promotion. 

Bet $5 get $200 in bonus bets

As opposed to the offer above, this is more direct. 

Use the bet365 bonus code BARKER to sign up, in conjunction with this link, place a $5 cash bet and boom, you'll get $200 in bonus bets once it settles. 

2. Fanatics Sportsbook promo code

Again, there are two widely available offers here as Fanatics Sportsbook is currently operational in 22 states (AZ, CO, CT, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, WY). 

Unlike the previous operator though, the second offer does not dole out bonus bets but rather merchandise. 

Bet and Get up to $1,000 in Bonus Bets

Similar to other bet insurance offers, there is no promo code needed and you can get up to $1,000 in bonus bets if your first wager loses.

You can sign up using this link.

In order to fully comply, you'll need to opt-in for 10 days and place a cash bet of $100 to start each day. At the end of each day, you'll get $100 in bonus bets, reflecting the value of your cash wager. 

If you complete those steps, you'll have $1K in bonus bets. Your bonus bet value reflects the value of your first cash wager. 

$5M Jersey Drop

If you log in daily, you'll be eligible for $150 in FanCash that can be spent on any jersey of your choice. Use this link to get started (again no actual promo code needed).

In total, Fanatics Sportsbook will give away 15,000 jerseys amounting to $5 million in total. 

3. BetMGM bonus code

BetMGM also has two offers available. Each has distinct BetMGM bonus codes, both are available in 20 states (AZ, CO, DC, IL, IN, IA, LA, KS, KY, MA, MD, MI, NJ, NC, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY) total. 

BetMGM bonus code YBNEWS1600: 20 percent deposit match up to $1.6K

Sign up with this link and the BetMGM bonus code YBNEWS1600 to claim a 20 percent deposit match with a $1,600 cap. 

Given the structure of this offer, you'll need to deposit $8K in cash to get the maximum $1,600 value here. 

Additionally, there's a 10x wager requirement within the first 30 days. So, if you deposit $100 in cash, you'd get $20 in sports bonuses (functionally the same as bonus bets). From that point, you'd have 30 days to wager $200 in total. 

BetMGM bonus code YARDNEWS: $1.5K bet insurance

Place a cash bet to start the day and — if you don't win — you'll get the value of that wager back as bonus bets, up to $1.5K. 

Notably, this is one of the highest bonus bet values for a bet insurance offer on the market. 

Activate this offer with this link and the BetMGM bonus code YARDNEWS.  

4. DraftKings promo code

Just one offer available from DK though you can claim this promotion in 20 states (AZ, CO, DC, IA, IL, IN, LA, KS, KY, MA, MI, MD, NC, NJ, OH, PA, VT, VA, WV, WY).

You'll get the value of your first cash bet back if you lose — up to $1,000.

The worldwide leader in sports slid into the sports betting market with the new operators ESPN BET, now operational in 18 states (AZ, CO, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV).
