Sportsbooks Push Promos Ahead of World Series Game 5

The World Series heads to a winner-take-all Game 5 on Oct. 29 with the Toronto Blue Jays sending rookie Trey Yesavage against two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell as the series is tied 2–2. A raft of sportsbook promotions is aimed at new users for the matchup: Fanatics is offering up to $2,000 in FanCash through a 10-day challenge with no code, BetMGM is advertising first-bet protection up to $1,500 (promo codes include CVRBONUS1500 and regional variants), and FanDuel and DraftKings are running Bet $5, Get $300 offers. Other promotions include bet365’s $200-style welcome and Betr Picks’ deposit-match packages, and offers differ by state, minimums, expiration rules and how bonus funds are issued. Typical promo mechanics include minimum deposits or qualifying wagers, bonus-bet issuance (sometimes split into multiple bets), expirations commonly around seven days, and nonwithdrawable bonus funds so only net winnings (not returned stakes) are usually withdrawable. Betting interest appears heavy — outlets reported at least one $225,000 wager on the Dodgers — and local promotions include sweepstakes for Game 5 tickets; users should verify eligibility, read terms, and gamble responsibly.
