ESPN BET, one of the best sports betting apps in the country, has a robust welcome for new customers in 18 states (AZ, CO, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV). You can sign up with the ESPN BET promo code CTNEWS to unlock a $1K First Bet Reset promotion.
Get started at ESPN BET with this link. When prompted, input the ESPN BET promo code CTNEWS. A cash deposit and initial cash wager is also required.
In practice, this offer functions as a bet insurance promo so you’ll get the value of your first cash wager back as bonus bets, in the event your initial cash wager loses. With this structure, you can maximize your value with a cash wager on an underdog market. A win will garner a substantial profit and — even though you’ll forfeit the cash stake with a loss — you’ll get that value back as bonus bets.

How to use the ESPN BET promo code
There’s no shortage of WNBA or MLB action to choose from for this promotion. The MLB All Star game is Tuesday and there’s a few marquee WNBA matchups as well.
As noted, this offer is well-suited to an underdog market because you’ll either collect a profit with a win or collect the value of your first stake as bonus bets.
For example, if you’re eyeing a WNBA market like the game between the LA Sparks (+350) and the Seattle Storm (-452), you’d maximize the promotional value with a moneyline wager on the Sparks. If you put down $100 in cash, you’d either
- Win the bet and get $350 in profit, plus you’d keep the original cash stake
OR - Lose the bet, forfeit the cash stake but get $100 in bonus bets credited back to your account
Any bonus bets credited to your account are valid for seven days.
