For Boston sports enthusiasts, it is a contradictory mix of joy and disappointment. Despite the Massachusetts legislature’s unsuccessful attempt to legalize sports betting, there is still ample potential for victory through participating in daily fantasy sports competitions and placing bets at legally authorized sportsbooks in neighboring states on the bustling Boston sports calendar.
Simultaneously, MLB regular season games, NBA seeding games, and NHL playoff bouts are all taking place. Yet, this coexistence might not last for a prolonged period of time.
DFS promos built just for Bruins, Celtics, Red Sox fans
FanDuel’s DFS contests are designed to specifically appeal to avid Boston sports fans. A prime example of this is the site’s attention to Wednesday night’s Celtics versus Brooklyn Nets game, highlighted through their exclusive “Single Game $25K Bonus Matchup.”
The game operates similarly to FanDuel’s regular NBA fantasy contests, with the only difference being that you can only select players from the Celtics and the Nets. Additionally, there is a special bonus tied to 3-point shots made throughout the game.
In case your roster players manage to score a minimum of 10 3-pointers during Wednesday night’s competition, you will have the opportunity to split a portion of an additional $25,000 bonus prize with all other qualifying players, on top of your regular winnings.
In addition to offering fantasy baseball and fantasy hockey specials, FanDuel Sportsbook Massachusetts also presents exciting opportunities like the “Home Run Challenge.” In this challenge, you select three MLB players, and your point total is solely determined by the number of home runs they hit.
During ice activities, there exists a coveted “Hat Trick Bonus” that grants participants the opportunity to secure a portion of an additional $2,000 in cash rewards.
Currently, DraftKings is offering ongoing promotions for DFS.
There are a couple of exciting promotions offered by DraftKings. One of them is the “NBA 25-Point Hunt,” where you can receive a special bonus if you select an NBA player who manages to score a minimum of 25 points in a game. Additionally, they have the “Weekly Rivalry Series” for MLB/NBA/NHL, sponsored by Miller Lite, with an impressive $100,000 in prizes up for grabs.
Currently, the sportsbook side of DraftKings offers some of the most enticing promotions.
MA residents can wager on Boston sports in neighboring states
You do have to take a trip, but there are options available to legally place bets on Bruins, Celtics, or Red Sox games at present.
You have the choice to venture across the Massachusetts border into either New Hampshire or Rhode Island, where online sportsbooks are operating within the legal framework.
Rhode Island has recently removed the in-person registration requirement, making it more convenient for Massachusetts residents to participate. Within a few weeks, you will have the ability to conduct all your Rhode Island Lottery business online through their internet-based betting platform.
In the state of New Hampshire, this has never been a problem. The New Hampshire Lottery’s sports betting platform is operated by DraftKings there. Furthermore, the minimum age for placing bets in New Hampshire is only 18, whereas in all other jurisdictions where sports betting is legal, the minimum age is 21.
DraftKings MLB, NBA and NHL sports betting promos
DraftKings is offering an enticing deal for sports enthusiasts. When it comes to MLB, they provide a 10% profit boost for in-game bets on a daily basis. Additionally, for NBA contests, DraftKings offers pre-game protection. Under this special promotion, if you place a pregame moneyline wager (up to $25) and the team you support loses but manages to score at least 110 points, DraftKings will refund the value of your bet.
In addition, the sportsbook section offers a range of daily odds boosts. As an illustration, DraftKings has enhanced the odds to +655 for Celtics forward Jayson Tatum to score the first field goal in the game against the Nets on Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, the app offers an enhanced odds of +560 for a three-leg NHL parlay. If the Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, and Pittsburgh Penguins all win their respective contests, the bettor will receive that payout.
Boston sports fans, seize this rare opportunity amidst the uncertain length of the Bruins and Celtics’ possible playoff elimination and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Make your claims now and show your support.
