BetMGM Bonus Code Offers $200 for USA vs. Wales, Any Other Match

BetMGM bonus code ACTIONCUP will unlock $200 in free bets for all new users, as long as there's a single goal scored in the World Cup. After England-Iran, we're all set there.

Just sign up using that code at checkout, then bet $10 on any pre-game moneyline (like USA vs. Wales) for the World Cup, and you'll get $200 no matter what. BetMGM will return those free bets in four, $50 increments.

Even if you're not a soccer fan, it makes sense to claim this offer because there's less risk in it than the $1,000 risk-free BetMGM normally offers.

This offer is available in all BetMGM states but New York and Pennsylvania. If you're in Ohio or Maryland, you can use one of these two offers ahead of their launches:

Maryland:Use this link to get $200 in free bets ahead of launch later this month. Same offer as Ohio, but you must use that link to sign up instead of a code.

Ohio users:ACTIONOHIO gets you $200 in free bets with no deposit required.

Part 1: Getting the Free Bets

First, you'll need to activate the free bets. That requires a $10, pre-game moneyline wager on the World Cup.

So let's say you bet $10 on Iran against England at +1000. If Iran wins, you keep the $10, profit $100, and also get $200 in free bets.

If Iran loses, you'll lose $10 but still get $200 in free bets.

It's a better offer than the risk-free bet because you really don't have to risk much — you can just deposit $10 and then have plenty of upside. For the risk-free bet, you need to actually risk a lot and can potentially lose it all if you're not careful.

Part 2: Using the Free Bets

Once you have the free bets, you'll want to use them, of course. And how do you use them? The optimal way is on plus-money wagers. There's a nice sweet spot between +300 and +500 in tight markets that will allow you to turn those free bets into cash at a nice rate.

Let's say you take your first first bet of $50 and put it on the United States to beat Wales 1-0 as an exact score prop, priced at +575.

• If the US wins 1-0, you'll profit $287.50 ($50 x 5.75) but you don't keep the initial $50 free bets. So you'll now have $287.50 in your account, plus $150 in free bets remaining.
• If the US loses, the free bet goes away, and you'll have $150 in free bets left.

Our BJ Cunningham likes the U.S. to pick up all three points:

The United States’ midfield should be able to dominate this match, control possession and stop any type of Welsh counterattack. I also expect Wales to play very conservatively with their eyes on the second group stage match against Iran as their best possibility to get all three points.

For the US, the question is can they break down Wales’ low block? Given the attacking talent that the United States have on the wings, plus looking at the amount of xG that Wales have conceded against good competition, I say yes, and I believe it’ll translate to a victory.

I like the United States to grab all three points at +150.

You don't have to use all your free bets at once, which will allow you to spread them out across a few different bets. But again, plus-money is optimal.
