Specifically designed for first-time customers, the latest FanDuel promo code offer unlocks a $150 bonus on May 17, a day headlined by MLB, the final round of the PGA Championship and Cavs-Pistons Game 7.



Whether you want to apply this directly to today’s Cavaliers-Pistons game or use it strategically on any other NBA matchup taking place this week, this is a high-value opportunity to build your starting sports betting bankroll.

FanDuel Promo Code for NBA Games

This exclusive promotion is tailored for new FanDuel customers ready to dive into the NBA slate. To claim the offer, newly registered users must make a minimum deposit and place a $5 wager on the Cavaliers, the Pistons, or any other NBA team. If that first bet settles as a win, FanDuel will credit your account with $150 in bonus bets for future wagers.

The most significant strategic advantage of this offer is the complete absence of an odds limit on your first real-money wager. Bettors have the flexibility to back a heavy moneyline favorite to increase their probability of securing the bonus bets, or take a calculated risk on an underdog to maximize their initial cash payout. The choice is entirely yours.

How to Use Your FanDuel NBA Promo Tonight

Before placing your wagers for Game 7 at Little Caesars Arena, reviewing the latest odds can help you maximize your promotional bet.

When identifying the best bets, the Total (206.5) presents a compelling analytical angle. The over has hit in three of the Cavaliers’ last four games against top-10 scoring defenses, and Cleveland enters tonight averaging 109.2 points per game compared to Detroit’s 105.8.

Conversely, the Pistons hold a superior Net Rate (4.6 to Cleveland’s 0.6) and control a slight rebounding edge (52.6% team rebound percentage versus 50.6%). However, bettors should note a negative trend: Detroit is just 1-3 against the spread versus opponents with a winning record over their last four contests.

If you are utilizing your $5 qualifying bet on this matchup, here is exactly what a winning ticket returns in pure cash profit (excluding the potential $150 in bonus bets):

  • Moneyline: Backing the heavily favored Pistons (-186) yields approximately $2.69. Taking the underdog Cavaliers (+156) returns a $7.80 profit.
  • Spread: A bet on Detroit to cover -4.5 (-106) nets roughly $4.72, while Cleveland to cover +4.5 (-114) returns about $4.39.

How to Activate Your FanDuel Promo Offer

Claiming your welcome bonus is a straightforward, hassle-free process. Because there is no manual promo code required, you simply need to follow these steps to secure your eligibility before the Cavaliers and Pistons tip off tonight at 8:00 PM EDT at Little Caesars Arena.

  1. Register Your Account: Navigate to the FanDuel Sportsbook and sign up as a new user. You will need to provide standard verification details to confirm your identity.
  2. Make a Deposit: Fund your new account with a first-time cash deposit of $5 or more.
  3. Place Your First Bet: Head to the NBA betting markets and place a real-money wager of at least $5 on the Cavaliers, Pistons, or any other eligible matchup. Remember, there is no odds limit for this initial bet.
  4. Await Settlement: Enjoy the game. If your qualifying bet wins, you will be awarded $150 in Bonus Bets.

FanDuel issues all bonus funds within 72 hours of your initial bet’s settlement. You can then immediately use these bonus bets to wager on additional NBA postseason games or any other sports market available on the platform.

NYPD says dozens rescued from human trafficking during World Cup

▶ Watch Video: Inside look at security preparations for World Cup Forty-three people, including seven minors, were rescued from human traffickers during the World Cup matches in the New York City area, according to the New York City Police Department's Special Victims Unit.The rescue operations were carried out between June 11 and July 19 by specialized NYPD detectives who arrested 89 individuals."The surprise was really the outpouring of support behind the mission and the collaboration with all our partners," said Inspector Gary Marcus, commanding officer of the Special Victims Unit.Those rescued, largely the victims of sex trafficking, are now being supported with an array of social services for the victims, including food, housing and counseling.The 87 operations carried out during the World Cup have generated new leads, officials said, and law enforcement agencies are building more cases based on the investigations already underway."We have ongoing investigations now as a result of these operations," an NYPD official told CBS News.Major sporting events are known to law enforcement as hotbeds of human trafficking.Years in advance, the NYPD devoted significant resources to preparing for the World Cup. Eight matches were played at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, including the final on Sunday."When we talk about the outreach and the prep we do, a large part of that involved visiting the known sex offenders, particularly the known human traffickers, in our registry," Marcus said. "Whether they're on parole or probation for human trafficking, we visited them to make sure they're compliant with the terms of their release, and secondly, to let them know that the NYPD is watching."The matches were held in multiple cities around the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Preparations to secure those games and prepare for crimes like human trafficking were coordinated between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.Police departments in many locations that hosted World Cup matches have made arrests and rescues connected to human trafficking, including in Georgia, New England and Missouri. Nationally, there were more than 673 arrests on human-trafficking charges made during the World Cup, and 61 adults and 13 minors rescued, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
