If you are new to bet365, you can use the bet365 bonus code NYPNEWS for the choice between two introductory promos. These welcome offers are for first-time bet365 customers and are now available in nine sports betting states with slightly varied offers in North Carolina.
Offer 1: $1,000 First Bet Safety Net
This is a first bet insurance which is a typical offer among the best sports betting sites. It essentially acts as a second chance to bet if your first bet doesn’t go your way.
A winning first bet profits cash and keeps the stake. Meanwhile, if your first bet misses, bet365 recoups your stake loss up to a maximum $1,000 in bonus bets.
Offer 2: Bet $5, Get $150
As bet365’s alternative offer, this promo allows you to earn the $150 bonus regardless of how the bet settles. You’ll need to make a $10 deposit and $5 bet on -500 or greater odds to earn the bonus bets within an hour of bet settlement.
Sunday features the second half of the Elite Eight as we get closer to crowning a champion. If you were to activate one of the offers and earn bonus bets on Sunday, the bonus bets would be valid up until the start of the Final Four.
However, there are plenty of other events going on this week from the NBA and NHL approaching the end of their regular seasons to the MLB season finally underway. Any sport is fine for the promos as long as you navigate the odds requirement of the bet/get offer.
- First, decide between the $1K First Bet Safety Net or Bet $5, Get $150 promos.
- Set up your new account with verified info, location and the bonus code NYPNEWS (valid for any offer mentioned on this page).
- Make at least a $10 deposit for either offer.
- Place a cash bet of any size for the safety net or a minimum $5 for the bet/get.
$1K First Bet Safety Net
This offer makes more sense if you’re looking for a larger wager on plus money such as a parlay or underdog. Typically, these kinds of offers work best when staking $400 or more in order to either earn a payout sufficient for the stake risk or you earn the bonus bets to cover the miss.
Let’s say I placed $500 on a +300 parlay on Sunday. Here’s how this promotion works.
Bet $5, Get $150
The bet/get promo is exceptional for smaller wagers and to win the bonus bets no matter what happens with your first bet. The odds restriction of -500 or greater still allows you to pick a favorite in order to minimize the upfront cost of the offer.
I could place $10 on a -200 line and profit $5, keep my $10 stake and earn $150 in bonus. Even if I lost that bet, I don’t earn cash but still win the $150 bonus within an hour of bet settlement.
$1K First Bet Safety Net — This is the same offer whether it’s North Carolina or any other bet365 state
Bet $5, Get $200 — The bet/get works the same but North Carolina bettors will find an elevated $200 bonus
