BetMGM Rams-Lions promo: First-bet insurance up to $1,500
New users are eligible for a special welcome offer courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Detroit Lions made huge strides last season, winning their first playoff game in 32 years along the way to an appearance in the NFC title game.
What will they do for an encore?
The NFL kicks off in full this weekend, with Detroit hosting the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football (8:20 p.m. ET). Bettors looking to get in on the action can redeem a special welcome offer from BetMGM by using promo code CBSSPORTS.
Here’s a closer look at the promo, including the steps needed for redemption.
Explaining the BetMGM promo
New customers at BetMGM sportsbook are eligible to receive first-bet insurance up to $1,500, provided they deposit at least $10 and fulfill all other requirements. It makes no difference whether their qualifying bet wins or loses. Just use our exclusive promo code (CBSSPORTS).
Wagers of $50 or more will be matched with five bonus bets in equal denominations of 20% of the total amount. All other wagers will be matched with one bet of equal value.
All sports are eligible for this welcome promo (minimum -10000 odds). Bonus bets will arrive within 24 hours of the qualifying wager settlement. These are non-transferable, non-withdrawable and cannot be combined with another promo. They essentially hold no cash value, so the initial stake won’t be included in any winnings. Bonus bets that go unused expire within seven days.
Bettors must be at least 21 years old and located in a state where BetMGM operates.
How to claim the BetMGM promo
Only a few steps are required to redeem this welcome promo from BetMGM.
- Sign up for BetMGM, verifying both your identity and location. Users may download the BetMGM app on iOS or Android or visit betmgm.com
- When prompted, enter promo code CBSSPORTS
- Make first deposit of $10 or more
- Apply “First Bet Offer” token to your bet slip. All sports are eligible for qualifying offer (minimum -10000 odds)
- Place first bet
If your first bet loses, BetMGM will match it in bonus bets, up to $1,500. Bonus bets are limited to no more than five per person and expire seven days after they are issued.
What can you bet on?
Detroit renews its chase for a Super Bowl against Los Angeles in primetime. These teams met in last year’s NFC wild card round, with the Lions winning 24-23.
The Lions, +130 favorites at BetMGM to win the NFC North, return mostly the same core. Led by quarterback Jared Goff, they’re on the short list of contenders to reach the Big Game in New Orleans.
The Rams are in the mix as well but must replace All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who retired in March. Fortunately, they have one of the league’s brightest head coaches in Sean McVay.
Oddsmakers at BetMGM have tabbed Detroit as a 4.5-point favorite and -225 on the moneyline for Sunday.
| TEAM | MONEYLINE | SPREAD | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rams | +185 | +4.5 (-110) | O 52.5 (-110) |
| Lions | -225 | -4.5 (-110) | U 52.5 (-110) |
