The NBA Finals continue on Thursday when the Indiana Pacers host the Oklahoma City Thunder, and bettors looking for action can use the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS to get up to $1,500 in bonus bets back if their first wager loses.

Game 6 of Pacers vs. Thunder is set to tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. According to the latest Thunder vs. Pacers odds from BetMGM, Oklahoma City is favored by 5.5 points. We'll detail the BetMGM bonus code offer further and share a Game 6 Thunder vs. Pacers preview below.

How to secure the BetMGM bonus code

If you are at least 21 years of age and haven't signed up for BetMGM before, here are the steps to get the BetMGM promo.

  1. Click "Claim Bonus" on this page, which will take you to BetMGM 
  2. Register for a BetMGM sportsbook account and make sure to enter the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS when signing up
  3. Make a first deposit of $10 or more 
  4. Put down a first bet for any amount

If your first bet wins at BetMGM, you get your winnings and the original stake back. If it loses, though, BetMGM will match up to $1,500 in bonus bets. If your first bet is under $50 and loses, you'll receive a bonus bet token for the same amount. If your first bet is at least $50 and loses, you'll get five bonus bet tokens that are each worth the same amount. So if you place a first bet of $1,000 and it loses, you'd get back five $200 bonus bet tokens.  

Bonus bets expire after seven days. If you win a wager that is funded by bonus bets, you receive the winnings only but not the original stake back.

Like BetMGM, the Fanatics sportsbook promo code is also giving out bonus bets to match losing wagers. But with Fanatics, it's your first bet each day up to $100 for 10 straight days—meaning you can get up to $1,000 in bonus bets over your first 10 days with the sportsbook. Meanwhile, the Caesars sportsbook promo code is awarding new users with 10 100% profit boosts after a first bet of at least $1—which allows new users to potentially double their winnings.

FanDuel, DraftKings and bet365 are all rolling out "bet and get" promos. While bet365 is offering the least amount in bonus bets at $150, it's the only one where you get the bonus bets if your first bet of $5+ wins or loses. At DraftKings ($300) and FanDuel ($200), you only get the bonus bets if your first wager of $5+ wins. 

Thunder vs. Pacers Game 6 betting preview

The Indiana Pacers have five 15-point comebacks this postseason, and nearly all of them are highlighted by an unbelievable shot or moment created by Tyrese Haliburton late in the contest. That may not be possible in Game 6 on Thursday with Haliburton a game-time decision as he deals with both a calf and ankle injury. The Pacers return to Indiana trailing 3-2 and behind for the first time this series, and Haliburton has been at his best at home this series.

Meanwhile, the Thunder enter Game 6 off back-to-back victories, most recently winning 120-109 on Monday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was his typical MVP-caliber self with 31 points and 10 assists, but he had help around him with Jalen Williams breaking out with 40 points. Aaron Wiggins added 14 points off the bench as Oklahoma City's depth could be too much for Indiana, especially as the series continues.

Game 6 has been a common series closeout number in recent years, with four of the last six NBA Finals ending in six games. The last NBA Finals to go seven games was when the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors following a 3-1 series deficit. Only four NBA Finals since 1995 have gone the full seven games.

The Thunder are 5.5-point favorites in the latest Pacers vs. Thunder odds on BetMGM Sportsbook, with the over/under set to 222.5 points. Oklahoma City is listed as -225 favorites (bet $225 to win $100) on the money line, while Indiana is a +185 underdog. SGA is +450 to record another double-double.
