I'm a sports fiend - you name it, I love it. Recently, I've been most interested in the UFC. It all started with watching Conor McGregor a couple years back and now I can't miss a fight. Whether it be Diaz, Usman, Adesanya, or even Nunez I can't miss an event.

My buddy, Dave, just told me about his go-to fantasy app, FanDuel, and their awesome offer for new users around UFC 264...

FanDuel is offering new users a free entry, with no deposit required, into their $200K Octagon contest. This contest has a first place prize of $40,000 and prizes will be awarded to the top 6,851 place finishers, which is 25% of the entire entry pool!

If you don't already know, the main event at UFC 264 is the trilogy and tie-breaker fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. The winner of this fight will get a Lightweight title shot in their next fight but, maybe even more important, many are saying McGregor is fighting for his legacy. The fight is happening in Vegas on July 10th and is a can't miss to any sports fan.

Lastly about the app, making deposits and cashing out winnings is super easy. All you have to do is link up your debit card or bank account. I love that you can cash out your winnings any time you want - and it's in your account sometimes the next day.

How FanDuel Revived My Love of Sports

Say hello to your favorite pastime

There's nothing like being at a game to see the action in person. But, since my buddies and I haven't been able to get to many games this year, we were debating how we could improve the viewing experience from home.

My buddy told us he'd recently started using FanDuel Sportsbook. I've seen FanDuel ads on TV but never thought about using them outside of daily fantasy. FanDuel does have an insane offer for first-time users right now though that we couldn't miss out on.

I've never bet online before, so I was a little worried it would be some overcomplicated process but signing up for a FanDuel Sportsbook account was actually easy and can be done online or through their app, which is free to download and available for iOS and Android.

To register, all you have to do is provide some basic info like your name and SSN, and you're good to go. I was hesitant to input my social, but found out they ask this to stop coaches and players from betting.

After we all downloaded and registered, we didn't really know where to start but FanDuel's site is filled with lots of useful tips for newbies. Making deposits and cashing out your winnings is easy too: just link your bank account or debit card.

Back to the offer I mentioned above, FanDuel Sportsbook's off to new users is a $1000 risk-free bet! All you have to do is place a wager up from $10 to $1000 and if you win, you get the amount returned and as well as the winning amount to use as site credit. And if you lose, you will receive the amount back to try again. It's a real win-win situation.

FanDuel Sportsbook has betting for almost everything you can think of NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL, Soccer, golf and more. If you decide to get started, good luck!
