bet365 is one of eight operators that is now live in North Carolina following the March 11 launch. Unique to the international betting giant though, is the generous dual offer structure that’s available in the state.
When you sign up with the bet365 North Carolina bonus code NYPNEWS you can select either a $1K bet insurance offer or a $200 bet from the landing page. You’ll have 30 days to select a promotion from sign-up.
If you’re in any of the other nine bet365 states, you’ll pick between $150 bonus bets and $1,000 first bet insurance.
With the First Bet Safety Net promotion, you’ll get up to $1,000 in bonus bets credited to your account if your initial cash wager loses. As long as you’re a new customer (meaning if you’ve signed up at all, even in another state you won’t qualify) and you place an initial cash bet of $1K or under, you’re covered.
If that bet wins, you’ll collect the profit but won’t earn any bonus bets. However, if your cash wager loses, you’re covered and will get your complete cash stake back in bonus bets, credited to your account within an hour or two of bet settlement.
Any bonus bets earned from this offer are valid for seven days from the point of distribution.
This is an excellent offer for new customers as it gives you a chance to take a shot on your first wager and recoup any losses as bonus bets.
The other offer that’s available in North Carolina is the $200 bet and get. If you place a cash bet of at least $5, you’ll get $200 once it settles, regardless of whether you win. That’s right, win or lose, you collect.
It’s the same basic structure as the national offer (see below for more details) but with a higher bonus bet threshold.
This is another solid option for bettors just starting out in the sports betting market as the low wager threshold allows you to play it safe with your stake and still collect a plethora of bonus bets.
Notably, this offer does have an odds requirement of -500 or longer. So the moneyline at -330 will work while the spread at -650 will not.
There’s a variety of different betting options in North Carolina with two of the most storied college basketball franchises, a premier NHL team and an NBA team.
Say you put claim the First Bet Insurance offer and put down $320 in cash on the Hurricanes moneyline (-122) against the Panthers. The ‘Canes have the advantage at home so it’s likely a solid bet.
If they win, you’d rake in $262.30 in profit and keep your cash stake but notably, would not earn any bonus bets. By contrast, if they lost, you’d forfeit your cash but would get the same amount of bonus bets credited to your account shortly after your bet settles.
On the other hand, if you claimed the bet and get you’d only need to put down $5 in cash to trigger this promotion. Take the same wager as an example, if you put down just $5 on the ‘Canes moneyline (same odds) you’d collect just $4.10 in profit if they win.
Regardless of that wager pans out, you’d earn $200 in bonus bets that will be valid for seven days from the point of distribution.
bet365 currently operates in nine states outside of North Carolina with a very similar dual offer structure. The first bet insurance offer is the same, with the same cap, while the bet and get is the same structure with a $150 cap instead of $200.
Notably, the bet and get promotion has an odds requirement of -500 or longer.
You can use one of the modules above and the bet365 bonus code NYPNEWS to sign up for an account.
If you’re outside of the states entirely, you can use the bet365 international bonus code NYPINT to sign up for an account. The specific offers vary from one country to the next.
Notably, bet365 is unique in that it has a different age requirement in one specific state. In Kentucky, anyone who is 18 or older can sign up for an account and wager. In all other states, including North Carolina, the legal betting age is 21 or older.
