Caesars Sportsbook has shocked the sports betting industry as it replaces the William Hill brand in the US. Its new welcome offer will certainly be making the competition sit up and do a double take. Caesars are gambling big on customer acquisition by offering an unprecedented $5,000 risk free first bet to new users.

The offer means any losing first bet up to $5,000 will be refunded in the form of free bet credit to the new customer. It’s quite the statement from the gaming industry giant. It gives new players the chance to bet big with a safety net in place.

What makes this welcome offer stand out from the crowd is the sheer scale of it. This bonus offer dwarfs all others currently on offer across the legal betting states.

Currently, sports bettors looking to set up a new account in NJ, MI, VA, TN, CO, IN, IA and WV can avail of this offer. We wait and see what the response will be from competing sportsbooks.
