bet365, now one of the biggest sports betting apps in the country, has a dual offer structure for new players in 10 states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, VA). Sign up with the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS and select either a $1K First Bet Safety Net or a bet $5 get $150 in bonus bets.
With that first offer, you’ll get the value of your cash stake back as bonus bets if you lose. The second offer has a $5 minimum cash wager requirement, so you’ll earn $150 in bonus bets.
Once you initiated the sign up process, you’ll have 30 days to select one of the two available offers.
You can sign up easily with the hyperlinks above or the modules below but, before you do, review the list below to ensure you get the most out of the offer.
Eligibility
- New customers only
- 21+ only in 9 states, 18+ in KY
- $10 cash deposit required for either offer
- -500 odds requirement for bet and get
- Bonus bets earned valid for seven days from distribution
It’s important to note that you can still sign up and wager with bet365 if you’re visiting a legal state but live in a state that doesn’t yet allow sports betting. Say you live in Hawaii and are visiting Arizona for the weekend. You can sign up using the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS while in AZ and place wagers while in state. Once you get home, you’ll be able to withdraw any potential winnings but will not be able to wager.

Wagering with bet365
Each of these offers has an ideal use-case. With the bet insurance promotion, you can get the most out of the offer with a wager on an underdog market. If your bet hits, you’ll collect an outsized profit. If your bet loses, you’ll recover the value of your first cash wager of the day as bonus bets — not exceeding $1K.
The bet and get, on the other hand, has a low minimum cash wager requirement of just $5, so you can play it safe and still collect the bonus bets.
Say you claim the bet insurance offer and are eyeing the Fever (+260) vs. the Mercury (-325) for a moneyline wager. If you put down $165 in cash on the Fever moneyline you’d either:
- Collect $429 in profit plus keep your original cash stake, but wouldn’t earn any bonus bets
OR - Forfeit the original cash stake ($165) and get $165 in bonus bets credited to your account within an hour of bet settlement.
With the bet and get, you can wager on either a favorite or underdog market since you’ll earn bonus bets regardless of how it settles. A $5 cash bet on the same moneyline would earn you $13 in profit. Whether you won or lost the wager, you’d earn $150 — 30 times your cash stake — in bonus bets.
