bet365, one of the biggest sports betting brands in the world, currently has a unique dual offer structure for players in 10 states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, VA). Unlike many other operators, you can use the singular bet365 bonus code CTNEWS to access both offers: either a $1K bet insurance promo or a $150 bet and get.
Once you begin the sign up process at bet365, you’ll have 30 days to select one of the two available offers.
With the bet insurance offer, you’ll only earn bonus bets if you lose. As opposed to the bet and get where you’ll get bonus bets regardless of how you’re qualifying wager settles.
You can use the hyperlinked offers above to get started, or click on the relevant module below to set up your account.

About the bet365 bonus code offers
Since you can’t claim both offers, it’s best to review the nuances of each before making your selection. We’ve outlined some potential uses for both the bet insurance offer or the bet and get below. Both are solid options for new players, but each has a more effective use.
$1K First Bet Safety Net
With this offer, you’ll only earn bonus bets if you lose. Naturally, if you win you’ll collect profit. Thus, the best use of this offer would be to place a cash bet on an underdog and either collect the profit with a win or collect the bonus bets with a loss.
Say you put down $410 in cash on the Mavericks moneyline at +150:
- If you won, you’d get $615 in profit, plus you’d keep the cash stake
- If you lost, you’d forfeit the cash but would get $410 as bonus bets credited back to your account
Bet $5 Get $150
Entirely different offer structure here. You place a cash bet of at least $5 and you’ll get $150 in bonus bets within an hour of the bet settling — regardless of whether you win or lose.
So if you put down just $5 in cash on the Timberwolves to cover the -4 point spread (-110), you’d potentially get $4.55 in profit if you won. Regardless, you’d get $150 in bonus bets.
