While the Belmont stakes may look a little different this year, you can still bet on the Triple Crown event. The Belmont Stakes will take place on Saturday, June 8 with a 6:41p.m. ET post time.
This year, the Belmont Stakes will take place at Saratoga while renovations are underway at Belmont Park. Furthermore, the Belmont will be one and a quarter miles instead of the normal one and a half miles of the Belmont, which could impact how the horses run.
TwinSpires, associated with Churchill Downs, is our preferred horse racing platform and is widely-available in 34 states. You’ll find a sign-up bonus that pays $100 for every $400 wagered on the platform.
Here’s our full list of horse racing betting platforms where you can find welcome promos for the Belmont Stakes or any other horse racing events you prefer.
1. TwinSpires
TwinSpires promo code: HANDLERACING – $100 bonus every $400 wagered
The TwinSpires promo code provides a bonus that pays out in increments based on how much you bet within 30 days. New customers can earn up to a potential $400 bonus if you maximize the deal with a total $1,600 wagered in the 30 day time frame.

Keep in mind that the TwinSpires promo provides the bonus in increments so you have to wager at least $400 to earn the first $100 and won’t earn the next $100 until you wager $800, earning $200 in bonus.
The wagering requirement is within 30 days so you have plenty of time to bet the Belmont and other horse racing events around the country.
2. FanDuel Racing
$500 No Sweat First Bet
FanDuel Racing is the specific horse racing platform from FanDuel, one of our favorite sports betting sites. However, you’ll find it in different locations depending on if you’re in a standalone horse racing state or a sports betting state.
If you’re in the following standalone horse racing states — AR, CA, DE, ID, FL, MN, MT, NH, NM, ND, OR, RI, SD, WA — you can click the module below or use this link to download the FanDuel racing app.
In the sports betting states — AZ, CO, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NY, OH, PA, VA, WV, WY — you’ll find the horse racing tab in the upper left of the FanDuel Sportsbook app on the home page. Users in the sports betting states can access the same promo but will need to be new users of any FanDuel product.
The $500 No Sweat Bet, unlike the TVG promo, doesn’t need to be on a single win bet but can be on any type of horse racing wager. You’ll need to create a new account and place a real-money wager on any race or any track.
If your bet wins, you profit cash and can withdraw the cash or use it on other races. Meanwhile, a miss is reimbursed with a Racing Credit from FanDuel within 72 hours that lasts for seven days.
3. DK Horse
100% deposit match up to $250
DK Horse, the horse racing platform from DraftKings, provides a deposit match that earns cash which is unlocked through a 2x play-through requirement.
For example, let’s say I maximize the offer with a $250 deposit, earning a potential $250 in cash. I don’t earn the cash immediately, but rather it releases in $25 increments for every $50 wagered.
This means if I lost every bet, I would earn $125 in withdrawable cash from wagering my $250 I deposited. Now, if I win bets along the way, I’ll have cash to keep wagering in order to eventually earn the full $250 bonus through the 2x play-through.
4. AmWager
Deposit and bet $150, get a $150 bonus
You’ll fill out a sign-up form to set up a new account with AmWager. Then, you need to deposit and bet $150 within 30 days of opening the account to earn a $150 wagering credit.
The bonus is received in a single deposit that you can use on any race or any type of bet you prefer such as a win bet, an exacta or a Pick Four.
5. DRF Bets
$200 deposit match bonus
DRF Bets is a betting platform from DRF, a major site for all horse racing news and handicapping. You can sign-up with DRF Bets and make at least a $200 deposit to earn a $200 matching bonus from DRF.
You’ll then be able to use the cash and the bonus on the Belmont Stakes or other races available.
6. TVG
$100 first bet insurance
TVG, now under FanDuel, provides its own promo in time for the Belmont Stakes. You can place a single win bet on any horse in the race and cover your first bet up to $100.
This means the win bet will either profit cash if your horse wins the Belmont Stakes or TVG provides a wagering credit to cover the loss.
