BetMGM Bonus Code: Seize a 20% Deposit Match or $1.5K First Bet on the House for NBA & NHL Playoff Games, Any Sunday Event

BetMGM Sportsbook has a choice between two welcome offers in 19 states for this weekend's playoff action and anything else listed on the site.

Once you sign up, you have the option to select either a 20% deposit match, capped at $1,600 in sports bonus, or a $1,500 first bet on the house.

To access the deposit match, utilize the BetMGM bonus code TOPTAN1600. Remember, the maximum bonus achievable is $1,600, requiring a deposit no greater than $8,000. There's a 10x rollover requirement to fulfill within 30 days.

If you're not interested in the deposit match, you can opt for the $1,500 first bet on the house, redeemable with the BetMGM bonus code TOPACTION. If your initial bet loses, BetMGM refunds you in bonus bets equal to what you lost.

You can sign up for either of these offers in any live BetMGM state this weekend except for New York, Nevada, or Washington D.C.

I'll peel back some more information on these offers if you're unsure about how to use them before signing up on Sunday.

What is the BetMGM Bonus Code this Weekend?

OK, so if you go with the deposit match, remember it's a 20% offer for $1.6K in max value. This would need an $8,000 deposit to unlock the full $1,600 in sports bonus. There's a 10x rollover requirement with this offer, meaning you must wager ten times your bonus amount within 30 days before withdrawing any winnings.

Alternatively, with BetMGM's first bet on the house, you can stake up to $1,500 on any event. If your initial bet loses, you'll receive the equivalent amount back in bonus bets. However, winning your first bet disqualifies you from this bonus.

So if I wanted to deposit $1K and place it on the 76ers to defeat the Knicks in Game 4 on Sunday, I would get my payout in real earnings if Philly wins, but $1K in bonus if it loses.

Sports bonus expires in seven days if you don't use it. To maximize your bonus, consider targeting longshot bets instead of the total or the spread.

Since you don't get the stake back with bonus bets, focusing on plus-money markets promises better long-term returns. Look specifically for markets with odds between +300 and +700, striking a balance between potential gains and realistic outcomes.

Golf is a great sport for bonus betting because of the longer markets available on players to win outright.

For the Zurich Classic, we suggested Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry to win at +850 before the tournament began.

We suggested this because given the unpredictability of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, one might expect me to delve deeper into the field for my pick. However, my model highlighted promising results for McIlroy and Lowry in both Best Ball and Alternate Shot formats.

The duo ranked second in Best Ball on key days, and their prospects soared further in Alternate Shot. McIlroy's strengths on even holes and Lowry's success on odd holes made them the most correlated pair in the tournament.

So if I wanted to place $100 in sports bonus on McIlroy and Lowry, I would get a profit of $850 in real cash if the pair emerges victorious on Sunday (if I had theoretically placed this bet before the tournament began).
