The sports calendar is really starting to fill up, with NFL and college football hitting their strides, the baseball playoffs in full swing, plus the NHL and NBA starting up over the next few weeks.
Both BetMGM and bet365 can help jumpstart your bankroll with different offers:
- BetMGM bonus code LABSNEWS1500: Get a 20% deposit match, up to a max of $1,500 in bonus bets. That means if you deposit $7,500, you’ll get $1,500. If you deposit $1,500, you’ll get $300 in bonus bets.
- BetMGM bonus code FLNEWSGET: Bet $10, get $200 in bonus bets no matter what. This is an easier offer if you’re not going to make a bigger deposit and max out the deposit match.
- bet365 bonus code LABSNEWS: Get $150 in bonus bets, or get a $1,000 first bet safety net (meaning you’ll be refunded in bonus bets if your first wager loses, equal to whatever you lost). It’s the same bonus code, and you’ll have a choice of offer to activate after completing your sign-up.
We’ll explain all four offers in more detail below.
bet365 Bonus Code: Unlocking Bonus Bets
- States available: NJ, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky
bet365 uses the same bonus code for both offers. Once you enter the code and the sign-up flow is done, you’ll get to choose which offer you want to activate.
- Bet $5, Get $150 in bonus bets. This offer is pretty straightforwad — just make a $10 deposit and $5 bet, and once that bet settles, you’ll get $150 in bonus bets. In Kentucky, you just need to bet $1 and you’ll get $365.
- $1,000 first bet safety net. This is a similar offer to many other sportsbooks. You’ll get refunded in bonus bets if your first bet loses, equal to what you lost. So if you put $200 on the Broncos moneyline at +300 against the Chiefs on Thursday Night Football, you’ll profit $600 if they win, but get $200 in bonus bets back if they lose.
Bonus bets work like they do at most other sportsbooks, where you keep the cash from winning bets but not the bonus bet itself.
BetMGM Bonus Code: Get Your Deposit Match
- States available: AZ CO IN IA IL LA MA MD MI NJ NV OH PA TN VA WV WY
Similar to bet365, BetMGM has a pair of offers available right now. The deposit match has more finer details we’ll cover below.
BetMGM bonus code LABSNEWS1500 gets you a 20% deposit match — so anything you deposit, you’ll get 20% of that in bonus bets.
The tricky part is that it comes with a 10x rollover, meaning you must wager 10x your bonus amount in the first 30 days on the platform to cash it out.
So say I deposit $2,000 and get $400 in bonus bets. I’ll need to wager $4,000 in my first month to hit the rollover, aka play-through, requirement. If you’re going to be betting regularly, it’s not too difficult to hit. But if you’re just using BetMGM to claim the bonuses, it may be difficult.
The bonus bets work like they do at bet365 and other sportsbooks. You’ll keep any profits from bonus bet wagers, but not the stake itself. So if I bet on something with a $20 bonus bet at +200, I’ll profit $40 in cash if it wins, and lose the bonus bet if it doesn’t.
BetMGM bonus code FLNEWSGET is similar to the bet365 offer. Just bet $10, and you’ll get $200 in bonus bets.
