The Massachusetts sports betting launch is today at 10 a.m. ET and anyone located in the state can use BetMGM Massachusetts bonus code NPBONUS for a $1,000 first bet on the house. That means if your first bet loses, you’ll be refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost.

If you visited another state and already made a BetMGM Sportsbook account, you’ll have to make a new one (but you can claim a new bonus, too). BetMGM uses separate wallets and accounts by state.

If you’re in any other BetMGM state, you can still get the same offer that lets you make your initial wager up to $1,000, and if the bet loses, you would still get that same amount back in bet credits. This offer also uses bonus code NPBONUS.

Click the buttons below to learn more about both BetMGM offers before the Philadelphia 76ers host the Portland Trail Blazers tonight. These offers are good for any sports market on BetMGM.

This is the standard BetMGM offer and the highest value, but to extract the maximum value, you must actually bet the full $1,000.

Here’s how the offer will work:

Let’s say you take $200 and put it on the 76ers -8, which I’ll detail below.

If the Sixers cover that spread, you’ll win about $182 (assuming the spread was -110), and you keep the original $200. That’s now $382 of cash in your account you can withdraw or continue betting. If the Sixers don’t cover, you get back $200 in bonus bets.

To turn those bonus bets into cash you can withdraw, you must bet them successfully. So say you take $50 worth of bonus bets and put it on the Bruins -1.5 against the Red Wings on Saturday at +110. If the Bruins win, you profit $55 — because $50 bet at +110 nets you $55 — but you don’t keep the bonus itself. So in this scenario, you’d have $150 in bonus bets in your account and $50 in cash.

Two of the NBA’s biggest stars take the floor tonight in Philadelphia when Joel Embiid and the 76ers host Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers.

Philadelphia is listed as an eight-point home favorite on BetMGM and I like that bet. The 76ers are simply a much better team than the Trail Blazers and winning by nine points or more shouldn’t be that much of an ask.

As good as Lillard is, Embiid is having a better and more complete season. The big man is leading the NBA in scoring at 33.3 points per game while averaging a double-double. He’s not winning solo, either, since James Harden and Tyrese Maxey are each playing well in the backcourt.

Lillard can still get as hot as any player in the league, though. He’s a little under two weeks removed from dropping 71 points in a game and is averaging a career-high 32.5 points per contest.

Ultimately, Philadelphia’s size and defense will make things too difficult for Portland, so back the 76ers with BetMGM Massachusetts pre-reg bonus code NPBONUS.
