Available BetMGM Bonus Codes by State

First thing's first – we have to talk about which bonus code you are eligible to utilize based on where you're located. Most new users are able to claim the $1,000 first bet insurance, but there are a few states with different promos. Here's a breakdown of BetMGM promo code availability by state:

1. TOPACTION: A $1,000 first bet on the house.
2. ACTIONYARD: For users in Maryland, Kansas, Illinois and Louisiana only. Get $200 in bet credits if the NFL team you bet throws for 1+ yard. It's a lower-risk offer than the $1,000 first bet on the house.
3. ACTIONOHIO: Get $200 in bet credits with no deposit required. BetMGM is expected to launch in Ohio on Jan. 1.

How to Maximize the TOPACTION $1,000 Bet Insurance Bonus Offering

Bet insurance is a fairly common offer among sportsbooks. With that in mind, Action Network created this sportsbook bonus guide to help new bettors get the most from these offers. We'll share some of the highlights here with an example.

Let's say that you've successfully signed up for BetMGM and deposited $2,000 into your account. Knowing that BetMGM will credit you back $1,000 if your first bet loses, you'll want to find a plus-money wager (think +200 through +500 odds) to go after.

Take the Gator Bowl as an example. Hypothetically, you bet $1,000 on Notre Dame RB Chris Tyree to score the game's first touchdown at +425 odds. Here are the possible outcomes of that wager:

• Chris Tyree scores the first touchdown of the game. You win back your original stake and you net $4,250 in profits. Because your bet won, BetMGM will not offer any bet credits, and the promotion has concluded.
• Anybody else other than Chris Tyree scores the first touchdown of the game. You lose your wager, but BetMGM credits your account back with $1,000 in bet credits to fulfill the new user promo. You do not earn any profit, but also do not lose the original stake.

In the hypothetical example above, BetMGM will credit your account back with 10 separate $100 credits. This gives you some flexibility in how you can wager the $1,000 to maximum your potential earnings. As with any bet credit, though, BetMGM will keep the $100 credit should your wagers placed with them win. You'll walk away with the profits only.

The best way to use bet credits is on plus-money wagers, similar to the original example bet we discussed. While these types of bets may be a little more risky terms of their potential to win, they offer the highest potential value.

In this case, say you decide to use one of your $100 bet credits to wager on the Orange Bowl featuring Tennessee vs. Clemson. BetMGM currently lists Tennessee moneyline at +190 odds, which would make a solid option for a bet credit since it is plus-money and has a feasible chance of hitting. Here are the possible outcomes:

• Tennessee wins. BetMGM keeps the $100 credit, but you earn $190 in profits. That credit has been used up and you have $900 in bet credits remaining.
• Tennessee loses. BetMGM keeps the $100 bet credit, and you do not earn any profits. You'll still have $900 in bets remaining.

Continue to seek out the plus-money bets until you've played through all of your bet credits.

BetMGM Bonus Code ACTIONYARD Details

For those would-be sports bettors located in either Maryland, Kansas, Illinois, or Louisiana, your new user offer is slightly different. BetMGM is giving you a low-risk, NFL-centric offer instead. Here's a detailed look:

• Bet $10 on any NFL game
• Receive $200 in bet credits if the team you bet on records 1+ passing yard in that game

Ask you can see, you are essentially get $200 in bets from BetMGM with promo code ACTIONYARD in the form of 4 $50 credits.

Follow the same bet credit strategy that we laid out before to maximize your $200. Happy betting!
