Refer-a-Friend Bonuses Ohio 2025

How Referral Bonuses Work

Every major Ohio sportsbook offers referral programs. When you invite a friend and they sign up + place a bet, you both get bonus bets. It's free money for spreading the word.

4 Simple Steps

Find your unique referral link in the sportsbook app (usually under "Invite Friends" or "Refer a Friend")

Share the link with a friend who hasn't signed up yet

Friend signs up through your link and places a qualifying bet

Both of you receive bonus bets credited to your accounts

💡 Maximize Referral Value

The best time to refer friends is during major betting events — Super Bowl, March Madness, NFL season start. Sportsbooks often boost referral amounts during these periods. A $50 referral might become $100 during the Super Bowl.

Important Rules

New users only. Friends must be first-time users of that sportsbook. If they've had an account before (even closed), they won't qualify.

Qualifying bet required. The friend typically needs to place a real-money bet (usually $10-$50 minimum) for both bonuses to unlock.

Referral limits exist. Most books cap referrals at 10-20 friends. After that, the program closes for your account.

Bonus bets have terms. Referral bonuses come as bonus bets, not cash. They must be wagered before withdrawal. Winnings from bonus bets are usually withdrawable.

Strategy: Stack Referral Bonuses

If you have friends who want to start betting, you can both benefit:

→ Refer them to FanDuel: You get $50, they get $50 + welcome bonus
→ Refer them to DraftKings: You get $50+, they get $50+ + welcome bonus
→ Refer them to BetMGM: You get $50, they get $50 + welcome bonus

One friend can net you $150+ in bonus bets across three apps. They get $150+ plus all the welcome bonuses.
