Readers can use the bet365 bonus code NYPNEWS for a choice between two introductory offers in all bet365 sports betting states . For nine of the bet365 states, not including North Carolina, here are the two welcome promos available: The safety net is a first bet insurance up to a maximum $1,000 in bonus bets. You can choose to wager more; however, if the bet loses, it will still only earn a maximum $1,000 of bonus bets. This is a great promo if you’re looking to make a larger wager or looking for plus-money underdogs. Otherwise, I’d suggest the bet/get offer mentioned below. This promo requires a $10 deposit and a cash bet of any size on anything. If your bet hits, it doesn’t earn the bonus, but you profit cash and keep the stake. The alternative offer requires at least a $10 deposit and $5 bet on -500 or greater odds. This means a heavy favorite moneyline at -750 wouldn’t be eligible but a spread bet at -110 is fine. No matter how the bet settles, you earn the bonus from the wager alone. The $150 of bonus bets deposit within an hour of bet settlement and these funds last for seven days in your account. If you select the safety net, it’s entirely up to you on which games to bet. Sunday night features the women’s
basketball national championship,
NBA, NHL and MLB matchups. The bet/get promo doesn’t limit your game selection, but you will still have to navigate the -500 or greater odds restriction. Generally, professional sports aren’t lopsided enough to have moneylines outside of that range, but you will see odds that don’t qualify in college matchups. The safety net makes sense if making a larger wager of around $400 or more. Additionally, since you’re covered in a loss, you can make a plus-money wager for the chance at a better payout if it hits. Here’s how the safety net works: Let’s say I make a $500 wager on a +500 parlay across multiple games Sunday. A winning parlay pays $2,500 and returns my $500 stake. My account balance is now $3,000 in cash that can be withdrawn or used on another bet. Conversely, if one of the legs doesn’t go the distance, bet365 deposits $500 of bonus bets within an hour of bet settlement. These bonus bets can be split up across wagers and must be used within seven days. The main requirements of the bet/get promo are: $10 deposit, $5 bet and the bet must be on -500 or greater odds. Outside of that, it’s entirely up to you on how to wager. Let’s say I find a -200
baseball moneyline and place $10 on it. This qualifies for the promo and can play out two different ways. The bet365 bonus code NYPNEWS is also valid in North Carolina and provides the choice between the following: $1K First Bet Safety Net — This is the same offer as all other locations Bet $5, Get $200 — The offer works the same but NC bettors earn $200 vs. $150 in other states 21+.
