How to claim the BetMGM bonus code
New BetMGM users have different welcome promotions based on where they live. Those in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia can use the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS to get $150 in bonus bets when they place and win a first bet of $10 or more. If you're in another state where BetMGM is available, instead of that "bet and get" promotion, you can get up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses. BetMGM covers your first bet with the sportsbook, returning your stake up to $1,500 if it loses. Say you bet on the Blue Jays to beat the Cubs on Wednesday. If Toronto wins, you get your winnings and stake back like normal. If Chicago wins, you'd get your stake back in bonus bets after your first bet settles as a loss. There's no minimum odds requirement for either offer.
BetMGM bonus code terms and conditions
It's important to note the BetMGM bonus code is only available to those who are in a state where BetMGM operates, and who are 21 or older. Additionally, you have to be a brand-new BetMGM user, meaning you can't have signed up with the platform before, even if you're in a new state. This offer is available on Wednesday for any of the top MLB or WNBA games on the schedule.
If you sign up with BetMGM and use the welcome offer for up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses, just know that the amount you wager determines how you receive the bonus bets. If your first bet is for less than $50, you would get one single bonus bet token equal to your stake if your first bet loses. If you bet $50 or more and your first bet loses, you'd get five bonus bets each worth 20% of your stake. For example, if you bet $500 on the Blue Jays money line on Wednesday and the Cubs win, you'd get five $100 bonus bet slips.
Bonus bets can't be withdrawn and hold no cash value. They also expire after seven days. If you win a bet with bonus bets, you get the winnings but not the stake back. Sign up with BetMGM to get bonus bets here:

The Phillies hold a five-game lead over the New York Mets in the NL East standings, while their opponent, the Reds, are only two games back of New York for the third and final National League Wild Card spot.

This is a great pitching matchup with lefty Cristopher Sanchez (11-3, 2.36 ERA) starting for the Phillies, while Hunter Greene (4-3, 2.72 ERA) makes his first start since June 3 for the Reds. Sanchez has been one of the game's best pitchers this year and has pitched at least six innings in each of his starts since the beginning of June.
