BetMGM Bonus Code Nets $200 for World Cup Matches on Monday

BetMGM bonus code ACTIONCUP unlocks $200 in free bets when you bet any match at the 2022 World Cup.

The marketing language says there needs to be a goal scored, but you'll get the free bets no matter what.

OK, let's walk through how ACTIONCUP will work for Monday's three matches.

ACTIONCUP Break Down: Ecuador-Qatar Preview

Upon betting $20 on this match, you're going to see the $200 in free bets whether your bet wins or loses. However, we still want to maximize our profits where we can.

Sportsbooks use all kinds of different language to describe their promotional offers, which we broke down in-depth here.

Placing a Bet With ACTIONCUP 

Ecuador's battle-tested club will challenge the Group A underdog Qatar. Here's how our experts perceive both sides:

Michael Leboff on Ecuador:

Ecuador can draw on their experience in hostile environments during CONMEBOL as a reason to back themselves in that opener, but it’s not just the intangibles that make La Tri an interesting sleeper. There’s high-upside talent here, too.

Pervis Estupinan, Caicedo’s Brighton teammate, will also provide some attacking flair down the left flank, while Enner Valencia is a suitable target man. Valencia, like many of his teammates, wouldn’t make a lot of rosters at the top of this field, but he’s a mainstay on Ecuador, so he knows what he needs to do for this team to have success.

Had Ecuador been drawn in a tougher group, they’d be pretty easy to ignore. But things broke right for La Tri on the stage back in April, making them an intriguing punt as a team to make some noise. This roster has been tested plenty over the past 24 months, so bet against them at your own risk.

BJ Cunningham on Qatar:

The biggest concern for a team like Qatar that has spent so much time playing lesser competition and dominating possession is how they are going to fare when they have to sit in and defend for a majority of the match.

Qatar do have a major rest advantage over the rest of the countries in this competition, though. The Qatari Stars League went on pause on September 14th, so these players will have two months of rest and training together before they take on Ecuador on November 20th.

That first match against Ecuador is their best chance of getting three points and potentially sneaking into the Round of 16, but they are significant underdogs against Senegal and the Netherlands, so I have a hard time seeing how the host nation is going to get through Group A.

Bet: Ecuador ML at +140

Let's suppose you bet the $20 minimum on Ecuador. Here's how things would go:

• If Ecuador wins: You bucket $48, keep your $20 deposit and receive the $200 in free bets. You have $268 to move forward with.
• If Ecuador loses: You still will see the $200 in free bets as long as a goal occurs between either side at any point.

So how do the free bets work? Let's examine further.

Applying Free Bets at BetMGM

You must bet with free bets; you cannot withdraw them as hard cash. Should they win, you'll keep the profits, but not the bet stake.

The right way to use free bets is on plus-money wagers. Even though it seems like more risk, it's wise in terms of accruing profits over time.

Let's suppose you bet all $200 in free bets on USA to defeat Wales at +155 in Monday at 2 p.m. ET.

• If USA wins: You win $310, but don't keep the $100 in free bets.
• If USA loses: So do you. In the form of $200 in free bets.
