BetMGM Bonus Code NEWSWEEK1500: Kick-Off NFL Season with $1.5K Ravens-Chiefs Bet

At the start of the NFL season, legal online sportsbooks tend to roll out their most competitive new user promos of the year. The only other time that offers routinely get enhanced is just ahead of the Super Bowl, but that’s five months away.

In the case of BetMGM, its offer hasn’t changed. The reason is simple: it’s been the industry leader for quite some time as it pertains to first-bet offers.

Most other sportsbooks with a similar offer will back a player’s first bet with up to $1,000 in bonus bets. However, BetMGM will cover a new user’s first bet of up to $1,500.

One thing that makes this offer especially appealing is the freedom to pick a player or game prop. New players could opt to bet $100 on the Chiefs to win, the Ravens to cover or the teams to go over the total points line. A bettor could instead wager $500 on Lamar Jackson to rush for 50+ yards or Patrick Mahomes to throw for 350+ yards.

A win would earn the player’s stake back, along with cash winnings. A loss would net the player a refund in bonus bets and more chances to win this weekend.

In-App Promos for Ravens-Chiefs, NFL Week 1

BetMGM has two of the best in-app promos available for Thursday night’s showdown between the Ravens and Chiefs. Each of these offers are also expected to be available for Eagles-Packers on Friday and the rest of the Week 1 slate.

The most notable offer is a “Second Chance Touchdown Scorer” promo. With this offer, users must wager on a player to score the game’s first touchdown. If their selected player doesn’t score first, but ends up finding the end zone second, BetMGM will refund the wager in cash.

The cash return is especially notable since most in-app promos in the industry will return bonus bets.

To that end, BetMGM also has a “Pro Football No-Sweat Token” offer. This promo simply backs a qualifying bet on tonight’s matchup or another this week with bonus bets. If the wager loses, players will receive bonus bets for use on other games.

How to Sign up With BetMGM Bonus Code NEWSWEEK1500

Any prospective player who wants to activate the $1,500 First Bet Offer must meet two criteria.

First, players have to be at least 21 years of age to qualify. Second, they must be located in a state with legal online sports betting and the BetMGM app: Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia or Wyoming.

It’s worth noting that players don’t need to be residents of those states to qualify, so a player from California — a state without online sports betting — who might be in New Jersey this week could still sign up and wager while located in New Jersey.

Signing up through the unit at the top of this page and entering the BetMGM bonus code NEWSWEEK1500 during registration will earn the $1,500 First Bet Offer. There are required information fields to fill out with a player’s full legal name, residential address, date of birth, phone number and email address.

Once a player makes a deposit of $10 or more and wagers up to $1,500 on any qualifying betting market, the First Bet Offer will activate. A winning wager will earn players a cash profit and their stake back. A loss delivers players a bonus bet refund of up to $1,500.
