Saturday's a good day to be a sports fan, with eight NFL preseason games spanning from 1 p.m. ET starts to an 8:30 p.m ET kickoff, as well as a loaded 15-game MLB slate and two WNBA contests, and bettors can use the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS to get either $150 in bonus bets or up to $1,500 in bonus bets, depending on where you're located. The top games today include No. 1 pick Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 7:30 p.m., the Los Angeles Dodgers hosting the Toronto Blue Jays at 9:10 p.m., and the Chicago Sky visiting the Indiana Fever at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Want to use the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS for Saturday sports betting? Get started by clicking "CLAIM BONUS" below or get your bonus bets here.

How to claim the BetMGM bonus code

BetMGM is offering two different promotions for new users depending on the state you live in, both of which use the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS. If you're in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or West Virginia, you can get $150 in bonus bets if you win your first bet of $10 or more. If you're in another state where BetMGM is available, you can get up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses. After you sign up and place a first bet, BetMGM will return your stake in bonus bets if that first wager loses. For example, if you bet $1,000 on the Jacksonville Jaguars to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday and the Steelers won, you'd get that $1,000 back in bonus bets. 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 BetMGM users who are in a state where BetMGM operates and who are at least 21 years old. You need to deposit $10 or more into your account to get started. This offer can be used on any of the NFL, MLB or WNBA games on Saturday.

If you sign up with the promotion for up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses, the amount you wager dictates how your bonus bets are paid out. If your first bet is for less than $50 and loses, you'll get one single bonus bet token equal to your stake. If you bet $50 or more and it loses, you get five bonus bet tokens, each worth 20% of your stake. So if you bet $1,000 and lose, you'd get five $200 bonus bet tokens.

Bonus bets can't be withdrawn and hold no cash value. Bonus bets also 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:
