Fanatics Sportsbook Offers $1 Bet for $100 FanCash in Bills–Dolphins TNF Promo Tied to Josh Allen’s 5-Yard Milestone

Fanatics Sportsbook has launched a limited-time promotional offer tied to Thursday Night Football's Week 3 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. The promotion guarantees new users a bet of $1 that returns $100 in FanCash if Josh Allen throws for at least five passing yards in the game. The first 10,000 bettors who qualify can claim the deal, and it expires at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, just before kickoff. The offer is available to bettors in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.

To claim the bonus, bettors must sign up for a Fanatics Sportsbook account, select the bonus offer, choose their state, enter their login details, apply the promo code, and make a qualifying deposit. The promotion is limited to new users and is subject to Fanatics Sportsbook terms, including FanCash terms. The offer’s restrictions emphasize the time window and geographic eligibility, and bettors should confirm the terms within the app before proceeding.

The Thursday game features the AFC East showdown where the Bills host the Dolphins. Buffalo opened as 12.5-point favorites, but the line moved slightly to 11.5 at Fanatics Sportsbook. Josh Allen is 13-2 outright against Miami across regular-season and playoff meetings and has not lost to the Dolphins at home in Buffalo. He has won six consecutive meetings against Miami dating back to September 2022.

Fanatics Sportsbook has Allen’s passing yards prop listed at 230.5 yards for the Thursday night game. The Bills’ quarterback has thrown for at least five yards in every NFL game in which he has attempted a pass, a statistic fans and bettors may weigh as they consider the promo’s potential value in a primetime affair that carries implications for the AFC East standings.

The Dolphins enter the primetime matchup in a different frame, having started the season 0-2. The team’s head coach, Mike McDaniel, has faced discussions about job security amid a divisional clash on short rest, and the Dolphins face one of the league’s strongest teams on a short week. The Bills, aiming to extend their win streak in the series, would benefit from maintaining momentum at home in a game that could shape early-season narratives.

Beyond the on-field dynamics, the promotion reflects a broader trend in sports betting markets: operators increasingly tie sign-up incentives to high-profile games and player milestones. For regulators and consumers alike, the promotion’s time sensitivity, regional availability, and deposit requirements are factors bettors are advised to review carefully before participating. The article notes that bettors must be 21 years or older where required and should consult the relevant gambling helpline if needed. The New York Post Betting team anchors the coverage with analysis and notes on the promotional terms, the historical matchups, and the latest line movements.

As the game approaches, analysts will watch how the Bills’ offense encompasses passing efficiency against a defensively capable Dolphins unit, and whether Fanatics’ TNF promotion translates into meaningful early-season wagering activity. Bettors considering the offer should monitor if the first-come, first-served cap of 10,000 players is reached before kickoff and confirm the state-specific eligibility during signup. The promotion’s relevance extends beyond a single game, illustrating how sportsbook promos can influence betting behavior during a high-visibility primetime contest.
