BetMGM is one of the most popular sports betting sites in the country, and with two unique promos in 20 states (AZ, CO, DC, IL, IN, IA, LA, KS, KY, MA, MD, MI, NJ, NC, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY) it’s easy to see why.
You can sign up with either BetMGM bonus code — TRIB1600 or TRIBUNENEWS — and unlock either a 20 percent deposit match capped at $1.6K or a $1.5K bet insurance offer, respectively.
With that first bonus code and promo, you’ll get 20 percent of whatever initial cash deposit you make. Additionally, there’s a 10x wager requirement over the first 30 days. So, if you put down $100 in cash, you’ll get $20 in sports bonuses. From that point, you’ll have 30 days to wager $200 in cash or you’ll forfeit your eligibility.
You can click this link to activate the deposit match and use the BetMGM bonus code TRIB1600, or use the module below.

20% deposit match, up to $1.6K
The second promo will be familliar to any casual bettor. You’ll get the value of your first cash bet back as bonus bets if you don’t win — up to $1.5K.
Activate this promo with the link and the BetMGM bonus code TRIBUNENEWS or the module below.

Wagering with a BetMGM bonus code
Both the deposit match and the bet insurance offer have ideal markets, given that both promos have distinct structures. We’ll review some key points to keep in mind when claiming either offer in the subsections below.
20 percent deposit match, capped at $1.6K
With this offer, you don’t actually need to wager to get any bonus bets. That is, once you make your cash deposit, you’ll collect sports bonuses (in practice basically the same as bonus bets, valid for the same amount of time). That said, you will need to wager to keep the bonus bets.
So, if you deposit $200 in cash, you’ll get $40 in sports bonuses credited to your account. From that point, you’ll have 30 days to wager $400 in cash total, otherwise your eligibility will expire. Thus, you can either chip away at that total over the 30 days or wager the full $400 up front to remain covered.
With the numbers above in mind, you could place a $100 cash bet on the Dodgers to cover the -1.5 spread (+162) against the Phillies. If LA won by two or more, you’d get $162 in profit. Either way it settles, you’re just $300 away from meeting your wager requirement.
$1.5K bet insurance
With this promo, you’ll only earn bonus bets if you don’t win on the wager. Therefore, you can maximize your potential earnings with a cash bet on an underdog market. If it hits, you’ll collect a nice profit and if it doesn’t, you’ll get the value of your first cash bet back as bonus bets.
For example, with a $175 cash wager on the Phillies moneyline at +111, you’d either:
- Win the bet, get $194.25 in profit and keep the original cash stake
OR - Lose the bet, forfeit the $175 in cash but get $175 in bonus bets credited to your account shortly after settlement
