The 2025 NFL Draft begins Thursday night with Round 1, and several top sportsbooks offer great betting bonuses and promotions. New sportsbook players can use the promos and wager on 2025 NFL Draft prop bets and specials to unlock bonus bets.

In total, bettors can earn over $2,000 in bonus bets if they claim these NFL Draft betting offers and wager on their favorite 2025 NFL Draft picks today.

2. FanDuel 2025 NFL Draft Promo: Bet $5, Get $250 in Bonus Bets

The FanDuel welcome offer for new customers gives new users $250 in bonus bets if their first sportsbook wager wins. To unlock the FanDuel NFL Draft offer, players must first make a qualifying $5 wager. No promo code is required to unlock the bonus.

However, since you must win your first bet to activate the FanDuel promo, you should bet on an NFL Draft prop bet with friendly odds, such as Ashton Jeanty to be the first running back selected (-6000). Or, over 2.5 quarterbacks to be selected in the first round (-300). That way, you increase your likelihood of winning your first bet and receiving the bonus bets.

3. DraftKings 2025 NFL Draft Promo: Bet $5, Get $200 Instantly in Bonus Bets

New customers at the DraftKings Sportsbook can place a $5 bet on the NFL Draft and get $200 in bonus bets instantly. No DraftKings promo code is required to unlock the bonus.

The good news is that while it’s $50 less than the current FanDuel offer, it is a sure thing, as you do not have to win your bet to get the bonus bets. The only downside is that the bonus bets are paid in eight $25 Bonus Bet Tokens that cannot be broken down into smaller amounts like you can with bonus bets at FanDuel.

4. BetMGM 2025 NFL Draft Promo: $1,500 First Bet Insurance

New customers can use the BetMGM bonus code SFAPLAY to get up to $1,500 back if their first bet loses. This is ideal for experienced bettors who like to make larger wagers, especially on bets with close to 50/50 odds, like which safety will be drafted first (Malaki Starks at -115 or Nick Emmanwori at -105).

2025 NFL Draft Prop Bets Analysis and Betting Tips

Wondering which 2025 NFL Draft market to bet on to receive your bonus bets? Here are some tips on how to make the most of each NFL Draft sportbook promo.

Most Common NFL Draft Betting Markets

Here are the types of prop bets you can expect to find for the 2025 NFL Draft at BetMGM, Bet365, FanDuel, and DraftKings:

  • Props for a player’s draft position (exact pick number, over/under draft position number).
  • Whether the player will be a top 5, top 10, or first-round pick.
  • The first (or second) player drafted at their position.
  • Matching a player to their team in the draft.
  • Which position will a team use its first pick in the draft on.
  • Over/under how many players at a position will get drafted in the first round (over/under 2.5 quarterbacks, over/under 2.5 running backs, over/under 6.5 offensive linemen, over/under 1.5 safeties, etc.).
  • Over/under how many players from a specific conference (Big Ten, Big 12, etc.) will get drafted in the first round.
  • Exact position of Mr. Irrelevant (last pick in the draft).

Betting Tips to Maximize Sportsbook Offers for the 2025 NFL Draft

If you choose a first bet protection offer like those at Bet365 ($1,000) or BetMGM ($1,500), you’ll want to maximize the potential bonus amount by placing a large wager. You'll also be able to bet on something riskier, since your wager is refunded 100% if it loses.

If you opt for the FanDuel “bet and get” NFL Draft promo, make sure you choose something with easy odds to win, such as Tetairoa McMillan to be the first wide receiver drafted (-210). DraftKings and Bet365 don't require your first bet to win to be awarded the bonus bets, so there’s no pressure. Choose any NFL Draft bet you want.

Finally, don’t be afraid to take some chances. No one saw the Falcons using the No. 8 pick on quarterback Michael Penix Jr. last year. The NFL draft is unpredictable like that, so other than Cam Ward and Travis Hunter going in the first couple of picks, don’t be afraid to think outside the box on any 2025 NFL Draft betting prop.
