BetMGM bonus code unlocks $1,000 promo offer for MLB, any other Wednesday games

The BetMGM bonus code TRIBUNEMGM generates a robust first offer for new users. New players can get up to $1,000 in bonus bets if their first wager doesn’t win when they sign up with the bonus code above.

BetMGM also has an MLB special offer for baseball fans. New users can get up to $200 in bonus bets when they place a real-money wager of at least $10 on any team moneyline after signing up with the bonus code TRIBUNEMLB. These offers are available in all BetMGM states but New York and Washington D.C.

We’ve previewed Phillies-Yankees below, and also have coverage on Masters matchup bets, White Sox vs. Giants and Rangers vs. Lightning.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Yankees

The Phillies travel to the Big Apple for a matchup against the Yankees. They’ve split the first two meetings in this series, so the winner will have some early-season bragging rights.

Right-hander Aaron Nola got absolutely shelled against the Rangers on opening day, giving up five runs in just over three innings pitched. That showing is certainly not indicative of Nola’s talent and this game will likely be a chance for him to up those strikeouts and drop his ERA.

This matchup surprisingly favors Philadelphia. While the Yankees have one of the most impressive offenses in the league, they struggled at times last year against right-handed pitchers, with a strikeout percentage above 27% against righties.

While the Bronx Bombers can certainly hit for power, they are also susceptible to strikeouts.

The Yankees are -160 favorites with the total at 6.5. Despite the power in the Yankees lineup, this one will likely be more of a pitching battle so play the under if you’re into totals bets.

If player props are more your speed, look for Aaron Nola over 7.5 strikeouts. While it’s high, he did get four strikeouts in the brutal opening-day game against the Rangers and he’ll likely be a bit more dialed in during this game.

Currently, BetMGM has two valid offers for new users to claim. The first, the evergreen offer, serves as first bet insurance with new users will get their full stake back in bonus bets — limited at $1,000 — if their first wager doesn’t win. New users can claim this promotion with the bonus code TRIBUNEMGM.

The second, BetMGM’s MLB special offer, gives new users up to $200 in bonus bets when they bet $10 on any MLB team moneyline. New players can access this offer by signing up with the bonus code TRIBUNEMLB.

The bonus bets mentioned in both of these offers serve as credits for additional wagers. Users can deploy them for any wager on the BetMGM platform but cannot withdraw them or cash them out.

Critically, bonus bets are not distributed at a 1:1 ratio but proportionally based on the user’s qualifying stake. If a new user places a qualifying bet of $50 or more, they’ll get multiple bonus bets — up to five — of equal value. If a new user places a qualifying wager of $50 or less, they’ll get one bonus bet, equal to the amount they wagered.

Both of these promotions are limited to new customers, who are at least 21 years old.

With the evergreen promotion, bonus bets will usually be distributed to a new users account 24 hours after the qualifying wager settles and will remain valid for seven days after distribution.

The MLB promotion, meanwhile, functions a bit differently as users will get the $200 in bonus bets immediately after placing a real-money wager of at least $10 on any MLB team moneyline. Only real-money or cash wagers are eligible for this promotion and any wagers placed using credits or bonus bets will not qualify.

Prior to signing up with BetMGM, new users should review the conditions outlined below to get the most out of the promotions.

Critically, both the MLB special offer and the evergreen offer are limited to new customers who are at least 21 years old. As such, the first step for either offer is to sign up for a BetMGM account using the bonus codeTRIBUNEMGM or TRIBUNEMLB.

From there, users need to place a real-money wager of at least $10 to trigger these promotions. Only wagers placed with cash will qualify for either offer, as wagers placed with credits will not initiate either promotion.

Naturally, if their first wager is successful, they’ll keep their winnings and the initial stake.

However, with the evergreen promotion, if that first wager goes south new users will get their full stake back in bonus bets — limited at $1,000.

For that evergreen offer, bonus bets earned from that promotion will generally be distributed within 24 hours and will remain valid for seven days after distribution.

The list below provides users with step-by-step instructions on how to sign up using either BetMGM bonus code TRIBUNEMGM or TRIBUNEMLB.
