Indiana sportsbooks offer various sign-up promotions to attract new users, most commonly bet-and-get promos, deposit matches, and profit boosts. A bet-and-get deal allows you to place a qualifying wager and receive bonus funds regardless of whether your bet wins or loses. Deposit matches boost your bankroll up front by matching your initial deposit 100% or by a set fraction. A profit boost enhances your potential payout on a specific bet, effectively doubling or increasing your odds. Because these promotions are awarded in site credits rather than cash, be sure to review playthrough requirements, minimum odds, and expiration windows before claiming.
Indiana sports betting was first introduced in January 2018 when House Bill 1015 was brought to life. It was signed into law on May 8, 2019, by Governor Eric Holcomb. Retail books launched on Sept. 1, 2019, followed by mobile apps on Oct. 3.
