The BetMGM bonus code TOPACTION is live for tonight's Phillies vs. Cardinals opener at Busch Stadium on FS1, and new customers who sign up before the 7:45 p.m. ET first pitch get up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if their opening wager loses.
The relevant detail for anyone signing up today: this is a first-bet safety net, not a deposit match. You are not being handed $1,500. You are being covered on one wager, up to $1,500, and the refund arrives as non-withdrawable bonus bets rather than cash.

Tonight's Game: Phillies vs. Cardinals, 7:45 p.m. ET on FS1
The Phillies (63-56) open a three-game set in St. Louis against the Cardinals (59-59) after dropping two of three to Toronto over the weekend and needing extra innings to avoid the sweep on Sunday. The Cardinals took two of three from Colorado and are still in the NL Wild Card conversation.
Philadelphia hands the ball to right-hander Andrew Painter (1-8, 6.48 ERA), who has been sharper since his recall. Hunter Dobbins (2-2, 3.60 ERA) goes for St. Louis on the back of two straight quality starts, having allowed two runs over 12.1 innings against the Angels and Yankees.
The market has these MLB odds close to a coin flip. The board has the Phillies moneyline hovering around -110, Cardinals -106, with the total at 9.5 and run lines at -1.5 (+146) / +1.5 (-178). Forecast at Busch is roughly 94°F with a live pregame rain chance — worth a look at the total before you commit, because a delay or a wind shift moves that number faster than the moneyline.
Because a qualifying first bet only needs to be $1, the offer is not a reason to bet bigger than you planned. It is a reason to size the bet you were already going to place at the number you actually want.
How the Refund Actually Behaves
This is where most new accounts get surprised with the BetMGM bonus code TOPACTION:
It arrives in pieces. A losing $200 first bet comes back as five $40 bonus bets, not one $200 token. Anything under $50 refunds as a single bet.
The stake does not return. Win a bonus bet and only the profit lands in your cash balance after the 1x playthrough. A $40 token at -300 returns about $13 in usable money. The same $40 on a +250 price returns $100. That asymmetry is the whole reason five small tokens are better deployed across a slate than stacked on one short favorite.
Seven days, then gone. Unused tokens expire and are not reinstated. With a three-game series in St. Louis running through Wednesday and a full MLB week behind it, there is no shortage of places to put them — but the clock starts when they land, not when you remember them.
