ESPN launched their sports betting platform, ESPN BET, earlier this month in conjunction with gaming giant Penn Entertainment. Qualified customers can find the ESPN BET promo code SHNEWS and bet anything on the mobile app to earn $250 in bonus bets. Without the code, you’ll $200.

This is perhaps the most straightforward offer among top sports betting sites. Once you set up your new account, you’ll need to apply promo code SHNEWS and make a bet of any size on any odds to qualify.

Click below to find the ESPN BET offer and make sure to use promo code SHNEWS, ESPN BET requires the use of a promo code as part of the promo requirements.

While it’s not March yet, bettors can still find exciting college basketball matchups such as the ACC/SEC Challenge. One of the most advantageous games to use for the first bet offer is the Duke Blue Devils vs. Arkansas Razorbacks.

If you aren’t interested in college basketball, don’t worry, ESPN BET offers a plethora of events such as NFL, college football, NBA, NHL or motorsports to appease any customer.

We’ll preview how to use promo code SHNEWS with any matchup such as Duke and Arkansas to earn bonus bets.

The pick: Duke Blue Devils -4.5 (-110)

This spread is a little surprising, even if Duke is on the road. Duke is a talented team this year and its only loss was to an Arizona team that is currently the second ranked team in the country.

The ACC has an exceptional top end of teams including Duke, Miami and North Carolina as always. I think Duke is too talented to not cover against an Arkansas squad near the bottom of the SEC.

As long as you use the promo code, you can bet anything on this line as an example and receive the $250 bonus whether Duke covers or not.

ESPN BET welcomes new users in 17 legal sports betting states to sign up with promo code SHNEWS and bet anything to win $250 in bonus bets. Your stake can be any size, on any market and you win the bonus whether the bet wins or not.

This is a similar Bet/Get promo to other sportsbooks without the minimum stake requirement. Additionally, ESPN BET deposits the bonus bets in a specific schedule. The first $200 of bonus (four payments of $50) deposit the same day as the wager along with the final $50 in bonus bets depositing within 48 hours.

These bonus bets work similarly to other books in that they are valid for seven days and cannot be withdrawn but can be used within the app as currency. If you fund a bet with bonus bets, the stake is lost regardless of bet outcome but you can still profit cash winnings.

Let’s say you place $100 of bonus bets on odds +250 and it hits.
