If you sign up for an account using the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS you’ll get to select one of two available promotions from the landing page: either a $2K bet insurance offer or a $150 bet and get.
With the bet insurance offer, you’ll get your full stake back in bonus bets if your first bet loses, not exceeding $2,000. The bet and get is a bit more flexible as you’ll get $150 in bonus bets with any cash wager of at least $5, regardless of how it settles.
Both offers are available in Colorado, Ohio, New Jersey, Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia and Iowa.
We’ll get into the critical conditions for each promotion in ensuing paragraphs. Critically, bet365 has some unique age restrictions. In six of the seven states where the international betting giant operates, the legal betting age is 21 or older. However, in Kentucky the legal betting age is 18 or older so anyone in the Bluegrass State (even if you’re just visiting) who is at least 18 can claim this offer.
As noted above, even if you’re just visiting one of the legal sports betting states and your home state doesn’t allow online sports betting, you’ll still be able to sign up and play. Use your legal address and age to sign up and, as long as you’re within state boundaries and of legal age, you’re good to go.
Since both offers can be accessed from the same landing page, you can get started easily by clicking the module below and selecting your preferred promotion.
If you’ve already signed up with bet365 and are looking to try another sportsbook, check out the ESPN BET promo code.
Beyond just the different legal betting age in one state, which is unique to bet365, we’ll go over some of the other relevant conditions in the paragraphs below.
Since both these offers are limited to new customers, you’ll only be able to claim either offer if you’ve never signed up for an account with bet365.
Both the bet insurance offer and the bet and get require a cash deposit of at least $10 to register your account. Additionally, you’ll need to claim one of the offers within 30 days of signing up for an account or you’ll be ineligible.
As is the case with all bonus bets, they function like credits not direct cash. Thus, they won’t be included as part of any winning stake and cannot be cashed out or withdrawn without being wagered first.
Promotions of this nature are common among American sportsbooks. Essentially, your first bet is covered by the sportsbook. In this case you’ll get your complete stake back in bonus bets — not exceeding $2,000 — if your first bet loses.
You can review this example from the NFL’s conference championship weekend to clarify how this promotion works.
If you bet $1700 on the Lions at +260 against the Niners…
DET wins: you’ll get $4,420 in profit, keep your initial stake but will NOT earn any bonus bets.
DET loses: you’ll recoup your $1,700 stake in bonus bets which will be credited to your account shortly after your qualifying wager settles.
This is another common offer structure at American sportsbooks. You’ll get bonus bets back regardless of how your qualifying wager settles. As long as you place a cash wager of at least $5, you’ll get $150 in bonus bets.
Notably, this offer has an odds requirement of -500 or longer so the moneyline example highlight above would work but a hypothetical moneyline on the Niners at -660 would not.
Even if you’re just visiting a legal sports betting state, you’ll still be able to sign up and play with bet365.
As long as your of legal betting age (18+ in KY, 21+ everywhere else), have your geolocation services turned on and are present in a legal sports betting state, you’re good to go. You’ll still be able to sign up for an account and wager while you’re traveling and, once you return home, you’ll be able to withdraw any potential winnings.
Be sure to sign up as you would normally, with your legal home address, email and birth date.
- Use the bet365 app or go to bet365.com. You will not be able to access the website or app if your geolocation services are not active or if you’re using a VPN.
- Enter the relevant personal details including birth date and legal address.
- Deploy the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS while checking out. You’ll be able to select one of the two offers from the bet365 landing page.
- Deposit at least $10 in cash using a debit card, bank card or electronic transfer (review this page for more details about acceptable payment methods).
- You’ll need to place a cash wager of at least $5 to trigger the bet and get, or go big and place a $2K bet to claim the First Bet Safety Net offer.
