BetMGM Sportsbook is making waves in legal states with a trio of welcome offers. While each state enjoys its own unique perks, users from North Carolina are in for the lowest-risk promo. Unfortunately, residents of New York and Nevada will have to sit this one out as these offers aren’t available in their states.
Here are the three live offers:
- TRIBUNENEWS in North Carolina: Bet $5, get $150 bonus bets guaranteed
- TRIBUNENEWS in most other states: First bet insurance up to $1,500
- TRIB1600 in most states: 20% deposit match up to $1,600 in bonus bets
BetMGM bonus codes, explained
For North Carolina users, the BetMGM NC Bonus Code TRIBUNENEWS allows you to $5 and instantly receive $150 in bonus bets. This offer is designed to kickstart your betting journey with a bang and little investment up front. Upon placing your first wager of $5 on any market, you’ll promptly unlock six $25 bonus bets, allowing you to wager on at least six other games over the next seven days.
Meanwhile, users from other states can take their pick between two enticing sign-up bonuses. Opt for BetMGM Bonus Code TRIB1600 and receive a generous 20% deposit match, granting you up to $1,600 in bonus bets. However, unlocking the full potential of this offer means you’re depositing $8,000, and bear in mind the 10x rollover requirement, necessitating a total wager of ten times your bonus amount to qualify for withdrawal. If you don’t hit that amount in the first 30 days, you’ll forfeit your bonus bets and any profits you already made from them. The deposit match is not available in North Carolina, Washington D.C., Kentucky, New York or Nevada.
Lastly, the BetMGM Bonus Code TRIBUNENEWS presents another compelling option for users in all BetMGM states besides North Carolina, New York and Nevada: you’ll recoup up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses. This insurance policy ensures that even in the event of an initial loss, you won’t be left empty-handed. Simply place your first bet, and if it loses, you’ll receive bonus bets equivalent to your initial stake, capped at $1,500. You’ll then have seven days to use the bonus bets and turn them into cash. Not available in North Carolina, New York or Nevada.
It’s worth noting that all bonus bets at BetMGM expire in seven days, during which you’re free to explore and wager on any sporting event or market.
Using your BetMGM bonus Saturday
BetMGM offers every major sport, and plenty of international sports as well, but we’ll take a look at the Big Ten Tournament semifinals on Saturday between Wisconsin and Purdue. Purdue, having won both previous meetings with Wisconsin this season, enters the matchup as a big favorite. However, with odds that may not offer the best value for bonus bets, savvy bettors may want to explore alternative strategies.
Indeed, one such strategy involves leveraging bonus bets on plus-money markets, which is the mathematically optimal play — Wisconsin at +250 odds as the underdog fits that bill. A $25 bonus bet on the Badgers ML could yield a handsome $62.50 in winnings, exemplifying the potential value inherent in strategic bonus bet utilization.
