BetMGM Bonus Code TOPACTION: Earn $150 in Bonus Bets in Most States, $200 in North Carolina

It's officially March, and that means College Basketball is taking center stage. It's a great time for sports bettors to claim welcome bonuses, and BetMGM Sportsbook gives you a choice between two offers.

The first offer available at BetMGM is a bet $5/get $150 in bonus bets. The BetMGM bonus code TOPACTION only requires a $5 wager on any market, and you'll instantly have $150 in bonus bets. Grab this offer from all legal BetMGM states, except New York and Nevada. In North Carolina, you can use the same code for $200 in bonus bets with no deposit.

The BetMGM bonus code TOPTAN1500 provides up to $1,500 in sports bonus. The offer is a 20% deposit match, so it'll take a $7,500 deposit to earn the full bonus. It's a much higher limit than the $150 bonus offer, but the deposit match comes with a 10x rollover requirement.

Again, BetMGM North Carolina is closing in on the launch of online sports betting on March 11, and you can pre-register today for $200 in bonus bets on launch day.

Betting on Saturday CBB at BetMGM

Today's slate of CBB features four games involving two ranked teams. The early marquee matchup features No. 7 Kansas vs. No. 15 Baylor. The Big 12 foes have fallen behind Houston and Iowa State in the Conference standings but can put themselves in a good spot with a victory on Saturday.

Both teams are in the top 15 in the AP Poll, but we've seen inconsistent play. Kansas is only 8-6 following a 13-1 start and is coming off a home loss to BYU. Kansas blew a 12-point halftime lead, ending their 19-game home winning streak.

Baylor started 14-2 and reached No. 9 in the AP Poll. Since then, they're 6-6 with a pair of home losses.

These teams played in Allen Fieldhouse on February 10, with the Jayhawks scoring a three-point victory. BetMGM Sportsbook believes we'll see a different story today, as Baylor is a 4.5-point favorite.

We're assuming we'll have a bonus bet for this matchup. Typically, you want to bet on the underdog for a bonus bet because it provides more value. Kansas' recent play has been shaky, but they present value as the underdog despite being higher in the AP Poll.

BetMGM provides their bonus bets in $25 increments. If we use one of the Kansas ML, we'll have $37.50 in winnings but don't keep the $25 stake.

• BetMGM Bonus Bet: Kansas ML (+150)
