For sports betting, FanDuel‘s Bet $5, Get $350 is the standout — the bonus is guaranteed (not win-dependent) for just $5 a day across a week, with a low entry and a 7-day expiry on each drop. BetRivers’ 2nd Chance Bet up to $500 is the better fit if you’d rather make one larger first wager with a loss-refund safety net.

Best for a new customer in Vermont: FanDuel, for the guaranteed $350 value and the low $5 entry.
