How to claim the BetMGM bonus code
BetMGM currently has two promotions going on for new users, and which one you're eligible for depends on where you're located. Both promos use the bonus code CBSSPORTS. If you are in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or West Virginia, you can get $150 in bonus bets if you win a first bet of $10 or more. If you're in another state where BetMGM operates, you can get up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses. Once you sign up and place your first bet, BetMGM will return your stake in bonus bets if it loses. For instance, if you bet on the New York Yankees to beat the Minnesota Twins and the Twins win instead, you'd get your stake back in bonus bet form shortly after that wager settles as a loss. There's no minimum odds requirement for either BetMGM promotion.
BetMGM bonus code terms and conditions
The BetMGM bonus code is only available to new users who are 21 or older in a state where the sportsbook operates. When you sign up, you need to deposit at least $10 into your account. This offer can be used on any MLB or WNBA game on Monday.
If you use the bonus code to get up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses, the amount you wager will determine how you receive your bonus bets. If you bet less than $50 and lose, you'd get one single bonus bet slip equal to your initial wager. If you bet $50 or more and lose, you'd get five bonus bets, each worth 20% of your first bet. For instance, if you bet $500 and lost, you'd get five $100 bonus bets.
Bonus bets hold no cash value and can't be withdrawn, and they expire after seven days. If you win a wager using bonus bets, you receive the winnings but not the stake. Sign up for BetMGM here:
