bet365 bonus code PINEWS: Choose guaranteed bonus bets or first bet offer

Before placing your first bet Thursday, type in as your bet365 bonus code when signing up and pick either a bet $5, get $150 in bonus bets or first bet safety net offer up to $1,000 welcome offer in CO, IA, KY, NJ, OH, or VA.

If you’re in Louisiana, the welcome bonus is bet $1, get $365 in bonus bets. Players outside North America will be able to claim their country’s respective offer with bonus code PI365.

Each welcome bonus will require your first bet to be odds of -500 or longer. If you bet on a market such as -550 or -750, you’ll forego the bonus bets attached to your offer.

There’s a reason bet365 instantly became one of the best sports betting sites in the U.S. after entering the country, and their bet and get offer was a big contributing factor.

Now they give new users the choice between that and a first bet offer that pays your first bet’s stake back in bonus bets if it loses. BetMGM is the only other sportsbook in the Inquirer’s top sports betting sites that gives players the choice from two welcome offers.

While bet365′s minimum odds requirement could somewhat limit what you bet on, -500 or longer odds isn’t too harsh an ask. After all, any eligible market priced shorter than that doesn’t yield much of a payout.

Their bonus bets being guaranteed unlike FanDuel (Who require you to exclusively and successfully wager on a moneyline market to get bonus bets) are a big plus as well.

Finally, bet365′s offers are among the best sportsbook promo codes because their bonus bets don’t expire unless your account goes through a period where 90 consecutive days pass with inactivity on your end (Meaning no deposit, withdrawal, or bet being placed).

Odds from bet365 Sportsbook are accurate as of time of publish and are subject to change.

The Steelers are unexpectedly six point favorites over the Patriots. Pittsburgh’s moneyline price is -270, while the Patriots are +220 underdogs. The totals market for this game is a historically low 30 points.

This game has all the makings of an incredibly low scoring defensive slugfest with little offense to be spoken of. Both offenses rank towards the bottom of the NFL in passing and scoring. With Rhamondre Stevenson out for the Patriots, their run game could struggle too.

I’m not comfortable picking either team to cover the spread due to how little faith I have in either team to put up points in any capacity. That said, I’m picking the Steelers to come out on top as they traditionally do well after a loss under Mike Tomlin.

2. Make sure you type in PINEWS as the bonus code that referred you and make a first deposit of $10 or more.

3. As long as your first bet is on a market of -500 or longer odds, you’ll be eligible for your first bet back in bonus bets if it loses or guaranteed bonus bets after your first bet settles.

4. 90 consecutive days of account inactivity is the only way your bonus bets expire.
