ESPN BET has ventured into North Carolina, and is now available in 18 states across the U.S.

For newcomers in North Carolina, use ESPN BET NC promo code NPNEWSNC to snag $225 bonus after a $10 deposit and any cash wager. You can bet on any game or any sport to unlock the bonus bets, and those bonus bets can be used on any wager you’d like.

North Carolina bettors will also get a 200% deposit match up to $500 in Eligible Cashback, no matter what.

Outside North Carolina, ESPN BET is offering a similar promotion. A minimum $10 deposit and a bet of any size will earn you $150 in bonus bets, applicable in all other ESPN BET states, with promo code NPNEWS.

So here are the options:

Excited to dive in? Here’s how to claim your rewards:

1. Download the ESPN BET app. You can also sign up online.
2. Sign up with ESPN BET using promo code NPNEWSNC for North Carolina residents or NPNEWS for other states.
3. Make a minimum $10 deposit. You can use credit card, debit card, bank transfer, PayPal, etc. Debit card is generally pretty reliable.
4. Place your bet on any market and at odds to qualify for the bonus bets, which should hit your account instantly.
5. Use the bonus bets within 72 hours

ESPN BET’s promo is easy to pick up. Just deposit $10, make a bet, and you’ll get $225 in bonus bets in North Carolina and $150 in bonus bets in most states.

Here’s an example. I deposit $50 and put it all on Ohio State +150 against Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament on Friday night.

You’ll have seven days to use your bonus bets. And they work like most other sportsbooks. You keep the profit, but not the stake.

Here’s a bonus bet example. I take $25 worth of bonus bets and put it on the Yankees to win the World Series at 10-1.

Here are the basics of the 200% deposit match up to $500.
