Sports fans interested in MLB betting and WNBA betting can use the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS to get bonus bets after wagering on Sunday's action. The BetMGM bonus code awards new users up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if their first bet loses. There are 15 games on the MLB slate ahead of the trade deadline, while the WNBA has five contests on the hardwood. Users are eligible for different amounts of bonus bets depending on which state they reside in. Click here to get the upgraded BetMGM bonus code for new users and take advantage of one of the top sportsbook promos:

Explaining the BetMGM Sportsbook promo

The "Bet $10, get $150 in bonus bets if your first bet wins" offer is available for new users located in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The offer is similar to those at competing sportsbooks.

First-time users of BetMGM outside of those states have a different offer. New users in other states can get up to $1,500 in bonus bets under the promotion available to them using the code "CBSSPORTS."

The promotion covers a user's first bet with up to $1,500 in bonus bets, which is the largest amount being given out across top sportsbook promos. However, a user would have to wager at least $1,500 to be eligible for the full amount. Compared to wagering $5 at FanDuel, DraftKings and bet365 to get $150 in bonus bets, this is a potentially sizable investment. However, BetMGM is offering more than Fanatics when it comes to bonus bets.

Bettors interested in the promotion must make a minimum deposit of $10 before placing the qualifying wager but there is no minimum odds requirement. If you lose your first wager, BetMGM will credit you with a bonus bet. If the wager is under $50, you will receive a single bonus bet in that amount. If the wager is $50 or more, you will receive five bonus bets slips of equal amounts. For example, if you wagered $100 and lost, you would receive five $20 bonus bet slips.

Bonus bets cannot be cashed out or withdrawn and they expire in seven days. If you win a wager using bonus bets, you will receive the winnings but not the stake.

How to claim the BetMGM bonus code

Here's how to sign up for the BetMGM offer. You must be a new user 21 or older in a state where BetMGM operates. 

  1. Click "Claim Bonus" on this page, which will take you to BetMGM.
  2. Create an account by entering all required information, such as name, email and payment details. Make sure to use the promo code "CBSSPORTS."
  3. Make a minimum deposit of $10.
  4. Make your first bet under the promotion. There is no minimum odds requirement.

What to bet on Sunday

The New York Mets and San Francisco Giants will meet on Sunday Night Baseball trending in opposite directions. The Mets have won six in a row as they look to create some separation in the NL East and are also making moves ahead of the trade deadline, while the Giants have floundered after acquiring Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox. New York is a -124 favorite to win (wager $124 to win $100), but the model is backing San Francisco as a +102 (wager $100 to win $102) underdog. The Giants win in 53% of model simulations, bringing value at these odds. 

On the hardwood, the Minnesota Lynx bring a four-game winning streak into Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Dream. The Lynx hold the WNBA's best record while the Dream try to find their footing after playing .500 basketball over the last six games. Minnesota is an 8.5-point favorite at BetMGM, and experts Calvin Wetzel and Aaron Barzilai have a pick on the game at SportsLine.

Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming is important at BetMGM and the platform offers users plenty of tools to game responsibly, such as taking timeouts, using self-exclusion measures and setting betting activity alerts. BetMGM also has a live chat feature where users can get in touch with the support team 24/7. Users who need additional assistance can get contact information for state and national helplines, such as 1-800-GAMBLER, on the BetMGM app and website.
