Sign-ups for the Northwestern-Indiana game get a boost with Underdog’s new offer: a 50% deposit match up to $1,000 when using promo code YAHOOBONUS. The deal also includes free entry into Underdog’s Keep Your Million survival contest, adding extra incentive for fans placing picks ahead of the Big Ten clash.
Users who register with the promo code automatically receive the match bonus on their first deposit, provided it’s at least $10. To max out the $1,000 bonus, a $2,000 deposit is required. The bonus funds come with a one-time playthrough before withdrawal, and the Keep Your Million game itself is free-to-play, offering a virtual pot rather than cash prizes.
The promotion is available in 40 states plus Washington, D.C., for those 18 and older, though age limits vary by state—19 or 21 in some. Underdog Fantasy operates within these states and enforces verification processes to unlock the bonus and contest entries.
Indiana enters the game as the reigning national champion, coming off three dominant non-conference wins, while Northwestern is buoyed by a recent strong performance against Colorado. Underdog’s Friday pick’em slate provides guidance with three projections for the matchup: Indiana’s quarterback Josh Hoover is expected to eclipse 245.5 passing yards, a total the analysts support taking the over on. Northwestern’s Aidan Chiles is projected for 174.5 passing yards, with a recommendation to take the under, influenced by Indiana’s strong defense. Turbo Richard of Indiana is forecasted to rush for 89.5 yards or less, given Indiana’s deep running back options.
To claim the bonus, new users must sign up through the Underdog link with YAHOOBONUS applied, complete verification, and deposit the minimum amount. Once activated, players can build pick’em entries for the Northwestern-Indiana game and join the Keep Your Million contest without extra cost.
The terms and conditions specify that bonus funds are not withdrawable until used at least once and that the Keep Your Million prize pot is virtual. Responsible gaming resources are also highlighted for those concerned about their play, including helpline numbers and websites across various states.
