International betting monolith bet365 has rapidly become one of the best sports betting apps in the states partly because of the unique dual offer structure. Use the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS to get your selection of either a $1K First Bet Safety Net promotion or a bet $5 get $150 in bonus bets offer.
Unlike most other operators with dual offers, you’ll just need the one bonus code. Additionally, both offers are available in all 10 states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, VA) where bet365 operates. Thus, you’ll get 30 days to pick your preferred promotion once you initiate the sign up process.
With that first offer, you’ll get the value of your first cash wager back as bonus bets if you lose, not exceeding $1,000. The second offer only requires a $5 cash wager to get started and you’ll earn $150 in bonus bets regardless of how it settles. So each offer has an ideal market to wager on, which we’ll go into below.
Before signing up with the hyperlinks above or the modules below, review some of the points listed here to ensure you’re eligible and get the most out of either offer.

Wagering with bet365
Euro 2024 is fully underway with teams grappling to make it out of the Group Stage. Denmark and Germany square off on Saturday in what will be an exciting but potentially one-sided matchup.
Given the different structure of each of these offers, each one has an ideal use. With the bet insurance offer, you can maximize your potential value with a wager on an underdog market. If it wins, your profit will be substantial and if you lose, you’ll collect the value of your initial cash wager as bonus bets.
The bet and get is a bit different. Since there’s a $5 minimum wager requirement and you’ll earn bonus bets regardless of how it settles, you can play it safe and collect.
$1K First Bet Safety Net
If you put down $120 in cash on Denmark to cover the +0.5 goal spread (+135), you’ll either:
- Get $162 in profit and keep the $120 cash stake, but would not earn any bonus bets with a winning wager
OR - Forfeit the $120 in cash with a losing wager but earn $120 in bonus bets within an hour of bet settlement.
As noted above, with this offer your best bet is an underdog market so you can try your hand on the Denmark moneyline (+500) or bet the over on the expected 2.5 goals (+102). All three would offer the most value based on the promotion’s structure.
Bet $5 Get $150 in bonus bets — instantly!
With a $5 cash wager on any market, you’ll earn $150 in bonus bets regardless of how it settles. You can wager as much as you like with this offer, but since you’ll earn bonus bets either way you can get the most value by placing a small cash bet ($5 to $10) and collecting the bonus bets.
A $5 cash bet on the Denmark moneyline at +500 would payout $25 in profit with a win. If you lost, you’d forfeit the cash stake and earn 30 times that as bonus bets.
