BetMGM Bonus Code TOPACTION1100 Nets $1,100 Value for March Madness

New users at BetMGM Sportsbook can bet up to $1,100 with BetMGM bonus code TOPACTION1100 on any game on Thursday, or any game this weekend. And if it loses, you'll get refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost, up to $1k. It applies to the NCAA Tournament and all other sports as well.

There are several live bonus codes at BetMGM on Thursday. Here's a quick synopsis of each one:

• TOPACTION1100: This is a first bet on the house of up to $1,100. Any amount up to that limit can be bet and if it loses, the money will be returned in bonus bets. Available in all states but NY, MA, and Washington D.C.
• TOPACTION: Same as above, except it's a $1,000 bet ceiling. This offer is available in Massachusetts.
• TOPACTIONDANCE: Place a $10 moneyline bet on any March Madness matchup and get $200 back instantly. Available in all states but NY, MA and D.C. It's a lower-stakes offer if you're not looking to put a lot of money upfront.
• ACTIONPOINT: Get $200 in bonus bets if the NBA team you bet on scores a single point. Available in only Ohio, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Kansas.

You can use these offers on any game or day throughout the tournament.

Speaking of which, we'll break down a bet or two from Thursday's night games to highlight how to use bonus bets at BetMGM.

The nature of this promotion is simple: If the bet fails, players will get their losses back in BetMGM bonus bets.

So if I were to place a $100 bet on Oral Roberts to defeat Duke at +230, I'd receive $100 back in the case of a Duke victory. An Oral Roberts victory would net a payout of $330.

Once we've accessed the bonus bets through the first bet, it's time to use them for tangible returns.

Think plus. Let's use the 9:40 p.m. ET tipoff between No. 4 Tennessee and No. 13 Louisiana in the East region as example.

Tanner McGrath wrote about taking the 11-point spread on Tennessee in our staff's Thursday night slate best bets:

It’ll be tough for Louisiana to establish its offense against Tennessee’s stout interior defense. The Vols finished second in the SEC in 2-point shooting and block rate, rotating Jonas Aidoo and Uros Plavsic’s rim protection.

The better way to beat Tennessee is by forcing the negative regression the Vols are owed on the perimeter. Sadly, I don’t think Louisiana’s backcourt is built to do that.

I have my worries about Tennessee’s offense, especially moving forward in the tournament. But while it won’t score at will, Tennessee’s defense should hold Louisiana’s head under water on the way to a relatively easy Vols double-digit victory. Give me Tennessee at -11 or better.

Let's combine Tennessee -11 and the over of 135.5 for an SGP of +264 odds — this is right in the sweet spot we're looking for. Imagine we place $100 worth of bonus bets on this play:

• We'll score $264 in cash if it hits. We can withdraw this or continue betting, but the bonus bets we used are gone.
• We'll get nothing back if it misses and won't keep the $100 in bonus bets.

We've broken down the numbers in our promo bonus betting guideto explain why longer odds are the move when it comes to wagering with bonus bets.
