bet365 Offers New Users Up to $365 in Bonus Bets
Sportsbook bet365 is running a new-user promotion in several U.S. states offering up to $365 in bonus bets for a $10 wager regardless of outcome, though the amount is lower in some states.
What the offer entails
Sportsbook operator bet365 has launched a new sign-up promotion in the U.S. market timed to the closing weeks of the MLB baseball season and Week 2 of the NFL. According to both RotoWire and Crossing Broad, new users who register and place a first bet of at least $10 receive $365 in bonus bets regardless of whether the qualifying wager wins or loses.
Terms and discrepancies
Both sources note there is no actual promo code required — the bonus is activated by signing up through a designated link and selecting the offer. Crossing Broad adds further conditions: the qualifying bet must settle within 30 days of claiming the promotion and must carry minimum odds of -500 (for example, a -450 bet qualifies, but a -800 bet does not). Both sources agree the resulting bonus bets expire after seven days.
The sources diverge on the offer's size in certain states: Crossing Broad reports that bettors in Illinois and Tennessee receive a smaller offer — $150 in bonus bets for a $10 wager, rather than $365. RotoWire's own introduction also mentions a figure of "up to $150," even though the rest of its article consistently cites $365, suggesting the promotion's value indeed varies by state. As reported by Crossing Broad, bettors in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan additionally receive 50 free spins for the bet365 online casino. RotoWire separately mentions an alternative option — a $1,000 "First Bet Safety Net," which refunds the stake in bonus bets if a first bet of up to $1,000 loses.
Availability and context
Per RotoWire, bet365 operates regulated sportsbooks in 16 U.S. states: Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia; the company also runs online casino operations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Crossing Broad ties the promotion to a specific MLB matchup — the Philadelphia Phillies visiting the Washington Nationals — as well as to NFL Week 2 games. RotoWire reports that bet365 was founded in 2000, serves more than 80 million customers worldwide, and generates over $3 billion in annual revenue.
