Ahead of the six Game 2s taking place in the NBA playoffs Tuesday and Wednesday, new users can take advantage of bet365's promo code before the action tips off. Let's check out how bet365's welcome offer compares to other top sportsbooks as well as previewing the upcoming NBA action. 

How to get the bet365 promo code

Do you want $150 in bonus bets from bet365? Follow these steps below. 

  1. Click "Claim Bonus" on this page, which directs you to bet365
  2. Enter the requested information to make a new account, including the promo code CBSBET365 
  3. Deposit at least $10 to start
  4. Claim the offer within 30 days of registration and place a first bet of at least $5 

New users will receive the $150 in bonus bets whether the first bet wins or loses. Once you receive the $150, you can wager the bonus bets in whatever fashion you'd like—whether it's one $150 bet, 10 $15 bets or maybe even 150 $1 bets. But keep in mind, all bonus bets must be used within seven days or they will expire. When you make a wager using bonus bets, your total payout will only be the winnings and not the initial stake.

New users must be 21+ to sign up for bet365, except for Kentucky (18+).

Besides bet365, FanDuel and DraftKings are also running "bet and get" promotions. While bet365's offer has the lowest amount in bonus bets compared to FanDuel ($250) and DraftKings ($200), bet365 still has one advantage over each. At FanDuel, you have to win your first wager to get the bonus bets, while at bet365 you get the bonus bets regardless. At DraftKings, you get your $200 bonus bets in the form of eight $25 bonus bets, compared to bet365 providing users with flexibility for how they can use their bonus bets.

BetMGM, Fanatics and Caesars are running different promos from the popular "bet and get" offer. BetMGM and Fanatics are both providing new users with bet insurance. BetMGM will match a user's first bet if it loses with up to $1,500 in bonus bets. Fanatics will match up to $1,000 in bonus bets, but it's up to $100 on your first bet in your first 10 days with the sportsbook. Caesars is allowing new users the chance to potentially double their winnings by giving out 10 100% profit boost tokens after a first bet of $1. 

What to bet on for NBA playoffs

Six of the eight NBA first-round series saw the home team win Game 1, but the two that lost will have a chance to bounce back. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers are 5.5-point favorites over the Minnesota Timberwolves. On Wednesday, the Rockets are laying 3.5 points against the Golden State Warriors.  

The other two games Tuesday are the Milwaukee Bucks taking on the Indiana Pacers (-4.5) and the Memphis Grizzlies battling the Oklahoma City Thunder (-14.5). The Thunder are coming off a historic win, as the 51-point margin was the largest in NBA history for any Game 1. On Wednesday, the Boston Celtics (-12.5 vs. the Orlando Magic) and Cleveland Cavaliers (-12.5 vs. the Miami Heat) hope to continue to roll after both Eastern Conference contenders won by double digits in Game 1.
