New users don't need to type in a BetRivers bonus code to unlock a 2nd Chance Bet. Sign up through the Action Network-verified links on this page to activate the offer in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or West Virginia.
NFL Week 8 gives users in three of those states a local game to target on Sunday, Nov. 1. Michigan bettors have Vikings vs. Lions, New Jersey bettors can use Raiders vs. Jets, and Pennsylvania has two options with Browns vs. Steelers in the early window and Eagles vs. Commanders on Sunday Night Football.
If your first qualifying wager loses, BetRivers returns the stake as a single Bonus Bet up to the state maximum: $500 in Michigan and Pennsylvania, $250 in New Jersey and $100 in West Virginia.
BetRivers Bonus Code by State
Every eligible state gets a version of the 2nd Chance Bet, but the maximum refund depends on location.
| State | BetRivers Promo Code | Maximum 2nd Chance Bet |
|---|---|---|
| Michigan | Tap here | $500 |
| Pennsylvania | Tap here | $500 |
| New Jersey | Tap here | $250 |
| West Virginia | Tap here | $100 |
Michigan and Pennsylvania carry the largest ceiling at $500, while New Jersey's maximum is $250. West Virginia users can receive up to $100 back as a Bonus Bet if the qualifying first wager loses.
How to Claim the BetRivers Sign-Up Bonus
Four steps are all that stand between new users and one of the available NFL betting promos:
- Click the qualifying BetRivers link for your state.
- Complete registration and leave the optional affiliate-code field blank because no physical code is required.
- Deposit at least $10.
- Place your first qualifying real-money wager on an eligible market from the latest NFL odds.
If that first wager wins, it pays normally and no Bonus Bet is issued. If it loses, BetRivers returns the qualifying stake as one Bonus Bet up to your state's maximum.
BetRivers also remains one of the sportsbooks that accepts eligible credit card deposits.
BetRivers Bonus Code Terms to Know
The BetRivers bonus code offer is straightforward, but there are several details to understand before placing the qualifying wager.
- New users must be 21 or older and deposit at least $10.
- A winning first wager pays normally and does not trigger the 2nd Chance Bet.

- Bonus Bet stakes are excluded from winning returns.

- The offer applies only when physically located in an eligible BetRivers state.

Who Fits This Offer?

- Best fit: A bettor with a strong read on one Week 8 spread or moneyline.
- Weaker fit: Someone who wants a guaranteed bonus regardless of the first wager's result.
- Michigan: Up to $500 on a first wager, with Vikings-Lions on Sunday's slate.
- New Jersey: Up to $250, with Raiders-Jets at MetLife Stadium.

NFL Week 8 Predictions
The Week 8 games below line up directly with the three states we're prioritizing. Odds can move before kickoff, so check the live board before placing the qualifying wager.
Vikings vs. Lions (Michigan)
Vikings vs. Lions kicks off at 1 p.m. ET from Ford Field on FOX.
- Detroit is favored by around 3.5 points at home.
- Minnesota enters undefeated at 6-0, while Detroit is 4-2.
- The Lions are coming off a 20-17 win over Green Bay.
- Detroit has already scored at least 31 points four times this season.
- Pick: Lions -3.5.
This is an aggressive spot against an unbeaten Minnesota team, but Detroit at home remains the preferred side if the spread stays around a field goal.
Raiders vs. Jets (New Jersey)
Raiders vs. Jets kicks off at 1 p.m. ET from MetLife Stadium on FOX.
- New York is a slight home favorite around -1.5.
- The Jets enter 2-5 after a narrow 28-25 loss to Miami.
- Las Vegas is 3-4.
- With the spread sitting below a field goal, backing New York essentially asks the Jets to win at home.
- Pick: Jets -1.5.
The number is the appeal here. If the Jets move through -3 before kickoff, the value changes.
Browns vs. Steelers (Pennsylvania)
Browns vs. Steelers kicks off at 1 p.m. ET from Acrisure Stadium on CBS.
- Pittsburgh is favored by around 3.5 points.
- Both teams enter 5-2.
- Cleveland beat Pittsburgh 27-24 in the first meeting.
- The Steelers have won four of their last five and have been much stronger against the spread recently.
- Pick: Steelers -3.5.
Pittsburgh gets the rematch at home and enters in better recent form, making the Steelers our preferred Pennsylvania early-window play.
Eagles vs. Commanders (Pennsylvania)
Eagles vs. Commanders closes Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
- Washington is favored by around 5.5 points after Philadelphia originally opened as a short favorite.
- Jalen Hurts is listed out, while Saquon Barkley is doubtful.
- DeVonta Smith is also questionable.
- The Eagles enter 2-5 and have covered only once this season.
- Pick: Commanders -5.5.
Philadelphia's injury situation has completely reshaped this market. For Pennsylvania users who prefer waiting for Sunday Night Football, Washington is the side we're targeting.
If you like these Week 8 angles, choose the game that fits your state and risk tolerance before activating the first-wager offer.
