 Explaining BetMGM Bonus Code 

Sportsbooks have started to use all different kinds of language to promote their new-user bonus offers. Check out our guide to each sportsbook promotion type. It should clear up most questions about how these different offers work.

Let’s dive into the BetMGM bonus code ACTIONBONUS50 offer using examples from Wednesday’s sports slate.

The First Wager: Kansas-Kentucky

Once you're squared away at BetMGM, it's time to select a bet to use the promotion with. Your first bet will be the promotion; you can't choose which one to use it on. The mathematically optimal strategy is to use your first bet and bonus bets at plus-money.

Kansas Jayhawks (-1.5) vs. Kentucky Wildcats (+1.5)

While Kansas holds a 1.5 point handicap, the Jayhawks are attempting to shake off a three-game funk in which it lost to Kansas State, TCU and Baylor. Kentucky has had other fortunes — winning four straight and posting a decisive 69-53 victory over Vanderbilt Monday.

Both programs are neck-and-neck in offensive output: the Jayhawks average 75.9 points and are shooting 46% from the field. The Wildcats are at 75.7 PPG and 45% from the field.

You can see how oddmakers are straddling the point-and-a-half spread on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Kansas is allowing opponents to score at a 67.5 point rate while Kentucky 66.3 points.

Oscar Tshiebwe presents the most polarizing problem for Kansas on the court. The senior forward is netting 16.6 points and 13.9 rebounds. As for defending Kansas, it will be Jalen Wilson (21.4 points, 8.6 rebounds) that Kentucky will have to draw up a solution for.

So let’s say you deposit and bet $250 for the 7 p.m. ET tipoff and place it all on Kentucky moneyline odds at around +105. The Jayhawks have never lost four straight with Bill Self at the helm.

• If the Wildcats win, you make back $262.20 in profit. You'd have 562.20 in total, which includes the guaranteed $50.
• If the Wildcats lose, you have $300 ($250 returned + $50 guaranteed extra).

Bonus Bets at BetMGM

Following the themes above, we'll turn to Sunday's NFL Championship games and roll on plus money. Oddsmakers have both matchups set under three points.

For the sake of looking at plus-money, let's say we bet $150 of the $300 pot on the Bengals to beat the Chiefs at even +100 odds. A Cincinnati win would secure $150 while a loss would net nothing. The $150 in bet credits is taken back by the book either way.
