Online sports betting in Kentucky went live yesterday, giving sports fans the chance to claim up to $1,865 in welcome bonuses on Friday’s Louisville vs. N.C. State bout via BetMGM bonus code PLAYNJSPORTS and Bet365 bonus code NJCOMKY.

Louisville enters Friday’s contest with a 4-0 record, facing a 3-1 N.C. State. It’s the second day those in the Bluegrass state can back their team, or any team, by locking in wagers at BetMGM.

Using BetMGM bonus code PLAYNJSPORTS, you can sign up and claim the $1,500 first-bet welcome bonus, which provides a 100% refund via bonus credit on an unsuccessful opening bet.

Here’s how to claim your $1,500 first-bet bonus:

• Click on our Kentucky BetMGM bonus code link and then click Register.
• Fill in the required fields, including code PLAYNJSPORTS. The code will automatically apply if you use our link.
• Deposit at least $10 into your account.
• Bet a minimum of $10 on any game or market, including Week 4 of the NFL.

The welcome bonus only triggers if your opening wager is unsuccessful. If you win your opening bet, you’ll receive the winnings associated with the odds.

If the bet misses, you’ll receive one or five bonus bets equaling your stake. A losing opening bet of $49 or less facilitates a single bonus bet matching the stake. If you bet $50 or more and it misses, you’ll receive five equal bonus bets matching the stake.

The credit is awarded within 24 hours of the initial bet’s settlement, and bettors have seven days to use the credit. Click one of our BetMGM bonus code links to read the full terms and conditions.

Bet365 has one of the best welcome bonuses around thanks to its win-or-lose guarantee. For the purposes of the welcome bonus, it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose your opening bet, which can be made on the Louisville vs. N.C. State contest.

Either way, the $365 bonus is yours. And all it takes is a minimum $1 wager on the game.

Here’s how to redeem the signup offer.

• Click one of our Bet365 Kentucky bonus code links, or hit “Claim Promo” in our offer boxes, then select your state and click “Join Now”.
• Fill out the required information, along with bonus code NJCOMKY if it hasn’t been added automatically when you use our links.
• Deposit $10 or more, then bet $1 or more as your first bet.
• Win or lose, you’ll receive $365 in bonus bets to use anywhere on the site.

The $365 in bonuses will be given to you after your first bet settles, and you’ll have 30 days to use them on the site. Whatever you win from using these bonus bets will be withdrawable cash, but you cannot withdraw the bet credits themselves.

Louisville visits N.C. State as slight favorites. The 4-0 Cardinals have their dynamic, explosive offense to thank for its unblemished record.

Louisville will feel shortchanged by not being ranked after such an impressive start to the season. N.C. State has also enjoyed a solid start to the campaign, with their only loss coming to Notre Dame, one of the country’s best teams.

You can use your Bet365 or BetMGM welcome bonus on this game or any other contest. In addition, you can make the most of the sportsbook’s ongoing offers.
