Get $200 in Bonus Bets with DraftKings for Arsenal vs. PSG Semi-Final

The 2024-25 Champions League action continues with the first leg of the semi-final ties on Tuesday, April 29, and Wednesday, April 30. Premier League heavyweight Arsenal, having eliminated defending champions Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, is set to host Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday to kick off this crucial stage of the competition.

Football fans interested in placing a bet on Tuesday`s match can take advantage of the current DraftKings promotional offer for new users.

Here is how eligible new users can claim this offer, which provides $200 in bonus bets when they make their initial wager of $5 or greater:

Claiming Your DraftKings Welcome Bonus

1. This offer is exclusively for new DraftKings customers. If you previously held an account, you are not eligible.
2. Register for a new DraftKings account by providing your personal details like name, address, email, and payment information.
3. Make a minimum deposit of $5 and place your first wager of at least $5 on any sports market. There is no minimum odds requirement for this initial bet.
4. Regardless of the outcome of your qualifying first bet, you will receive $200 in bonus bets. These are typically issued as eight $25 bet credits.
5. Bonus bets are usually issued shortly after your first bet settles and expire within seven days (168 hours). They cannot be withdrawn as cash.
6. Note that if you win a wager using bonus funds, only the winnings will be returned to your account, not the value of the bonus stake itself. For instance, a winning $25 bonus bet at +100 odds would return $25 in cash winnings.

Comparing DraftKings` Offer with Other Sportsbooks

Here`s a look at how the latest DraftKings offer compares to promotions available at other sports betting platforms:

DraftKings, FanDuel, and bet365 offer `bet and get` style promotions, where placing a small initial wager earns you bonus funds. FanDuel`s offer requires your first bet to win to receive the bonus, while DraftKings and bet365 award the bonus regardless of the outcome. Bet365 provides slightly less in bonus bets ($150) compared to DraftKings ($200), but it often allows more flexibility in how those bonus funds are wagered. These `bet and get` deals are appealing for users looking to start with a small investment.

In contrast, BetMGM and Fanatics feature `bet insurance` promotions, designed for users willing to make a larger initial wager. BetMGM offers up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if your first bet loses, requiring a significant initial stake to be eligible for the full amount. Fanatics` offer involves a commitment over multiple days, requiring users to opt-in and place bets daily to maximize the potential bonus.

Analysis and Betting Insights for Arsenal vs. PSG

Arsenal has been in strong form, remaining undefeated in their last two months, though they have seen a number of draws in the Premier League recently. PSG, despite a strong run prior, is coming off a loss to Nice and also lost the second leg of their quarter-final tie against Aston Villa (though they advanced on aggregate). Arsenal enters this match with a rest advantage, having last played several days before PSG`s Friday fixture.

Both clubs have historically faced challenges in the deeper stages of the Champions League knockout rounds, but one is now guaranteed a spot in the final. Each team has reached the final once before (Arsenal in 2006, PSG in 2020), but neither has lifted the trophy. Looking at the odds, PSG is considered the slight favorite to advance to the final at -130 on DraftKings, with Arsenal as +105 underdogs. For the first leg specifically, Arsenal holds the edge as the home favorite at +115 on the money line, with a draw and a PSG win both priced at +245.
