The NBA second round continues on this Tuesday, with some crucial matchups such as Mavericks-Thunder. This game will feature two superstar-level players going against one another with both Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander having something to prove. The first game will be between the Cavaliers and the Celtics. Cleveland will be coming in as double-digit underdogs in Game 1.
A lot of major sportsbooks such as bet365, DraftKings, and FanDuel have entry offers that are available to be claimed for the NBA slate tonight, and later this week. I have outlined the welcome offers applicable to the NBA games going on down below.
bet365
Bonus code: LABSNEWS
States available: AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, VA
If you use the bet365 bonus code LABSNEWS when registering with bet365 Sportsbook, you will have access to one of two new user promotions. The bonus code is the same for both promotions.
Your first choice would be a “bet/get” deal worth $150 in bonus bets. To claim this promotion, make a $5 wager on anything with odds of -500 or longer. For example, the Mavericks are listed at +160 to win against the Thunder. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City are listed at -165 to emerge victorious in the matchup. Betting $5 on either team’s money line would work to trigger the promotion.
The second option is a “first bet safety net”, that can get you a maximum of $1,000 in bonus bets. You can make a bet of $1,000 on anything, and then get back the amount you wagered as bonus bets if you lose. Let’s assume you bet $1,000 on the Mavericks to win tonight and then they lose. In that scenario, you get back $1,000 in bonus bets.
BetMGM
Bonus code: LABSNEWS1600 and LABSTOP
States Available: AZ, CO, IL, IN, IA, LA, KS, KY, MA, MD, MI, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV, and WY
BetMGM Sportsbook is an option for you when it comes to registering with a new sportsbook. They have two new user promotions active as of the time of writing.
Using the BetMGM bonus code LABSNEWS1600 will get you a 20% deposit match that can net up to $1,600 in sports bonus. You would need to deposit $8,000 or more to get maximum value from this deal. The main restriction with this promotion is the 10x rollover requirement. This means you have to wager 10x what you get in sports bonus within 30 days to take out your money.
Alternatively, if you utilize the BetMGM bonus code LABSTOP, you will receive “bet insurance” on any initial wager of $1,500 or less. If you lose your bet, you get your stake refunded as bonus bets.
FanDuel
Promo code: No physical code (use this link instead)
States Available: AZ, CO, CT, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MD, MI, NJ, NY, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, and WY.
With the FanDuel promo, you can get an offer that has the potential to net you $150 in bonus bets.
To get the $150 in bonus bets, you have to make a winning wager of $5 or more. If you lose your initial wager, you get no bonus bets.
One strategy to get the bonus bets from this promotion is betting on a heavy favorite. Doing so lessens the chance of an upset. Thus in theory, you will have a higher chance of getting the bonus bets from the promotion. A potential option for getting the promotion is the Cavaliers-Celtics game. Boston is listed at -700 to win against Cleveland, and they are the sort of heavy favorite you want to wager on.
DraftKings
Promo code: No physical code (use this link instead)
States Available: AZ, CO, CT, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WY, and WV
DraftKings Sportsbook is arguably the most recognizable sportsbook in the nation, and they have a competitive entry offer for new users who sign up for an account.
To claim the DraftKings promo, use the link provided above. It is a “bet/get” deal, that gets you $150 in bonus bets after a $5 wager on anything. There are no odds or market restrictions on your initial wager. As long as you place a $5 wager, you will get $150 in bonus bets. These bonus bets are split up into six increments of $25 which cannot be split down any further.
You can bet on any game from tonight’s NBA slate to trigger the DraftKings promo.
Fanatics Sportsbook
Promo code: No physical code (use this link instead)
States available: AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, MI, NC, OH, TN, VA, WV, CT, MA, NY, PA, and VT.
Fanatics Sportsbook has two main offers available to you after registration.
The first offer is a wager match deal that nets up to $1,000 in bonus bets. To claim it, you must make a bet of $100 on each of your first 10 days with Fanatics. For each $100 bet you make, you get $100 in bonus bets. There is an odds restriction on this offer, as your wagers have to be placed on odds of -200 or longer to qualify for the promotion.
In CT, MA, NY, PA, and VT, you have access to a separate promotion. This promo nets you $50 in guaranteed bonus bets just for registration. You will also get 10 profit boost tokens as part of the promotion.
Caesars Sportsbook
Promo code: LABSNEWS1000
States available: AZ, CO, MA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, ME, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV, and WY
With Caesars Sportsbook, there is one main new user promotion. If you use the Caesars Sportsbook promo code LABSNEWS1000, you will get a first bet promo worth up to $1,000. This promotion works like any other first bet promo. You can bet $1,000 or less, and then get your stake returned as bonus bets if you lose.
The main difference with the Caesars’ first bet promotion is that your bonus bets will be credited in one large bonus bet, rather than a sum of bonus bets that you can divide down further to make smaller wagers. For example, a losing bet of $500 would get you one $500 bonus bet in return.
ESPN BET
Promo code: LABSNEWS
States available: AZ, CO, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, and WV
The ESPN BET promo code LABSNEWS will get you a “first bet reset” for your first wager of $1,000 or less. It is another “first bet promo” option that will give you “bet insurance” on your first wager.
New users only, 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. Must be physically present in AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, or WV in order to wager.
