  "account": "In October 2026, beginners looking to maximize their sportsbook bonuses should consider various promotions offered by top U.S. betting apps. DraftKings and FanDuel stand out as top choices, each providing attractive sign-up bonuses tailored to different preferences.\n\nDraftKings offers a \"Bet/Get $150\" promotion, requiring a $5 deposit to receive a guaranteed $150 bonus. This bonus is distributed as three $50 tokens over two weeks, with each token having a seven-day expiration. The bet-and-get offer has a 1x playthrough requirement, allowing users to withdraw profits easily. DraftKings is available in most U.S. states, except certain regions like Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, and more.\n\nFanDuel's \"Bet/Get $250\" promotion is another excellent option for new bettors. It requires a $5 deposit and a $5 daily wager over five consecutive days to unlock up to $250 in bonus bets. Unlike DraftKings, FanDuel allows users to split the bonus into any amount they choose, provided the bonus funds are used within seven days of receiving them. FanDuel also has no rollover requirement for the bonus bets. The app is available in a majority of U.S. states, similar to DraftKings.",
