North Carolina online sports betting is now live, and BetMGM is one of eight operators that’s currently offering an exclusive in the Tar Heel State. Sign up with the ESPN BET North Carolina promo code CTNEWSNC, in conjunction with this link, and you’ll be eligible to get $225 in bonus bets with an initial cash bet of any size.
That’s right, you put down just $1 in cash and still get the $225 in bonus bets.
Beyond just that North Carolina exclusive, ESPN BET now has two other offers that are widely available. There’s a $150 bet and get, now available in 17 states, or a 200 percent deposit match available in the same number of states, plus North Carolina.
With that deposit match, the cashback rate is 10 percent thus you can get $1 back in cash for every $10 you wager. The max with the deposit match is $500, so you only need to deposit $250 in cash to reach the max cap.
To claim this offer, use the ESPN BET promo code CTNEWS and this link to sign up for an account.
ESPN BET in North Carolina
Online sports betting landed in North Carolina on March 11 and ESPN BET was one of a lucky eight operators that’s now live in the state. To coincide with the sports betting launch, ESPN BET is offering a generous bet and get.
Sign up with the ESPN BET NC promo code CTNEWSNC and this link to get $225 in bonus bets. This is a unique bet and get so you can place a cash wager of any size to collect the bonus bets. Yes, even a simple cash bet of just $1 earns you the bonus bets.
As noted above, the 200 percent deposit match is also available in the Tar Heel State. You can get 200 percent of whatever cash deposit you make credited to your account. There’s a max cap of $500 which means that you don’t need to deposit more than $250 to reach the highest value.
How to Use the ESPN BET NC Promotion
There’s a full slate of NBA action on Wednesday night, plus a few NHL games to pick from. This offer is unique in that you don’t need to bet much, literally any cash wager will do, to qualify for the bonus bets.
With that in mind, we’ll walk through a couple examples of potential wagers below.
Say you put down just $1 on the Warriors moneyline (-610) against the Grizzlies on the NBA ESPN matchup. If Golden State wins, you’d win a meager $0.16. However, you’d collect the $225 in bonus bets shortly after that wager settles.
On the other hand, even if that wager loses and you forfeit the cash, you’ll get $225 in bonus bets.
To use another example, say you put down a cash bet of $15 on the Minnesota Wild moneyline (+130) against the Kings. If the Wild win, you’ll pull in just under $20 in profit and keep your cash stake PLUS you’ll earn the bonus bets.
Even if the Wild don’t win and you lose your cash stake, you’ll get 15 times that stake in bonus bets.
