How New Caesars Customers Can Score the Promotion

New York customers will need to enter the promotional code “EMPIREMAR2” upon registering to access the promotion.

After that, all it takes for a new Caesars Sportsbook New York customer to win is for their chosen team to score at least one point in a qualifying game.

EmpireStakes.com can help you along the way, with its March Madness betting guide.

Odds boosts and round robin wagers do not qualify for this promotion and any profit boost tokens applied to a qualifying wager aren’t eligible for the “Bet $20, Get $200” March Madness promotion.

All free bets will be applied to a user’s Caesars Sportsbook account within two days of the promotional period’s end date, while all free bets must be used within 14 calendar days from when they are awarded.

Which College Games Qualify

The qualifying games for the Caesars Sportsbook New York sports betting app promotion include Thursday and Friday’s Sweet 16 contests, as well as the Elite Eight games over the weekend.

Thursday’s games between Gonzaga and Arkansas, Villanova and Michigan, Arizona and Houston, and Duke and Texas Tech are the first batch that qualify for the offer.

Friday’s games are between UCLA and UNC, Purdue and St. Peter’s, Kansas and Providence, and Miami and Iowa State.

St. Peter’s, located in Jersey City, has become the story of the tournament, upsetting Kentucky and Murray State on the way to the Sweet 16. But you can’t bet on the Peacocks in New Jersey, so you’ll have to head to New York if you want to wager on the local underdog.

St. Peter’s is +12.5 against Purdue and +3000 to make the Final Four.
