No code you sign up and deposit $5 then get $200 in "free play" in $25 increments. You place bets either the free play, if you win you keep the winnings as cash, if you lose you get nothing and spent $5.

I don't think that's what they're describing, but rather if you bet one side on one app and the other side on another with free money, you're guaranteed to win. For example, if I put $25 on the Celtics to cover the spread on Draft Kings and $25 on their opponent to cover on Fanduel, it's a guaranteed win with no risk because the bets are made with free bonuses (assuming the spread/odds are the same on each site)

i'm surprised the sites have a built-in system to be able to tell that you're not betting both sides even on the same app..

I assume it's against their terms and conditions but idk how they would enforce it. I also wasted my free money on stupid parlays so I'll never find out
