GET BONUS!The Sunflower State will have a number of prominent sports betting apps in the mix when the state flips the switch, but only two apps offer early sign up specials.

Below, we will detail why the two rival sportsbook operators are doing this and cover some key information, including how to sign up for the best current KS sports betting promos.
Kansas Sports Betting Date Is Coming, How to Pre-Register Now
As of right now, a bettor cannot place a legal online sportsbook wager. That’s because Kansas sports betting isn’t live. That will soon change, as industry estimates place a go-live date any time between early September and late November.
Regardless of when apps go live, players can begin accumulating bonuses now. That’s because both DraftKings and FanDuel offer a $100 pre-registration bonus. Such early sign up incentives don’t replace new user offers when things go live. Rather, these special can be paired with typical sportsbook bonuses, thus making the current window the time to optimize a potential return.
In terms of why DraftKings Kansas and FanDuel Kansas are offering such deal, the answer is rather direct. These are the two biggest United States online sports betting brands and each will look to come out of gates with strong market share. As such, by offering an additional $100 to sign up ahead of time, the apps get a head start on building a customer database — while also gaining an advantage over other competitors in the Kansas sports betting market.
Now, let’s take a look at each offer and what we currently know regarding a potential launch.
DraftKings Kansas $100 Pre-Registration Bonus

As noted above, DraftKings Kansas will supply bettors with a $100 pre-registration offer. This special can be paired with the whatever new player special the app offers when the state comes live. Again, we don’t yet know the launch date, but if it were to arrive on the front end of current projections, bettors would be able to score the bet $5, get $200 NFL Week 1 bonus currently available. This stands as one of the best welcome offers for the forthcoming season, presenting a significant bonus upside to prospective bettors.

Similarly, FanDuel Kansas will also bring new players a $100 pre-registration bonus. This, too, can be paired with a separate new user special at launch. That said, we do not know what that offer will be at this time — although we can use past football offers to take an educated guess.
Last season, the app offered a series of bet $5, get $150 offers on marquee NFL matchups. The terms could be different this year, but it’s reasonable to expect a similar offer during the first few weeks of action.
