International betting giant bet365 has two welcome offers for new customers in 10 states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, VA). When you sign up with the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS you’ll be able to select one of the two offers: either a $1K bet insurance promotion or a $150 bet and get.
With the first offer, you can get up to $1,000 in bonus bets — based on the value of your initial cash wager — if your first bet of the day settles as a loss. If you claim the second offer, you can get $150 in bonus bets with a cash wager of $5 on any market with -500 odds or longer.
Both promotions are solid entry points into sports betting for new customers, but we’ll go over some distinct uses in the subsections below.
You can use the hyperlinks to access the bet365 landing page, or the modules below. Once you’ve initiated the sign up process, you’ll have 30 days to select one of the two available promotions.

bet365 bonus code offer details
Both the bet insurance promotion and the bet and get serve as solid starters for new customers. Unfortunately, you can only claim one thus it’s best to familiarize yourself with the best potential uses of each offer before claiming either one.
Any bonus bets earned from either offer are valid for seven days from the point of distribution.
We’ve outlined some potential bets in the paragraphs below.
First Bet Safety Net — up to $1K
Since this is a bet insurance offer, you’ll only earn bonus bets if your wager loses. Thus, you can potentially maximize your value with a cash wager on an underdog. If you win, your payout will be substantial and if you lose you’ll get the value of your cash wager as bonus bets.
So, if you put down $210 in cash on Pascal Siakam as the First FG Scorer of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals at +700:
- With a win, you’d earn $1,470 in profit plus you’d keep the cash stake
- If the wager lost, you’d forfeit the cash but would get $210 in bonus bets credited to your account within an hour of bet settlement
Bet $5 Get $150 in bonus bets
This alternate offer is more direct. While it still requires a $10 cash deposit, the structure is a bit different. You can get $150 in bonus bets with a cash wager of at least $5 on any market with -500 odds or longer — regardless of whether you win or lose.
Say you put down $12 in cash on the Pacers to cover the +10.5 point spread (-111), you’d get $10.81 with a win, plus you’d keep the cash stake. Even if you lost and had to forfeit the cash, you’d still get $150 in bonus bets within an hour of bet settlement.
