bet365 bonus code SHNEWS provides the choice between two introductory promos in seven states after you create a new account. You’ll need a new account, a minimum $10 deposit and a cash bet or at least a $5 bet, depending on which offer you select.

bet365 is currently available in New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Iowa and Colorado. Later in 2024, North Carolina sports betting is expected to launch and would be bet365’s eighth sports betting state as it’s expected to launch around a similar time.

Here are the two current offers from bet365, the bonus code SHNEWS is valid for either but you can only activate one.

Offer 1: $1K First Bet Safety Net

The first promo allows you to recover a first bet miss up to a maximum $1,000 in bonus bets. Conversely, a winning first bet is profitable in that you keep the cash winnings and your stake just like any other bet.

You can place your first bet on any market or odds with this promo and the stake can be any size. The only requirement is the minimum $10 deposit before placing your wager.

Offer 2: Bet $5, Get $150

Alternatively, you can select this Bet/Get promo, which is a common welcome offer among top sports betting sites. This promo differs slightly in that you’ll need to place the wager on odds -500 or longer, meaning odds such as -250 or +110 but not -550.

As long as you meet the odds requirement, the $10 deposit and at least $5 bet earns $150 in bonus bets no matter how your first bet shakes out. This means a win or loss still earns the bonus within an hour of bet settlement.

Yes, the matchup between the Washington Huskies and Michigan Wolverines will be available on bet365 with a plethora of markets including extensive props. The game takes place on Monday night at 7:30p.m. ET on ESPN.

The big storyline surrounding the game will be Michigan’s talented secondary attempting to slow down Washington’s lethal passing attack. Read below to see how to unlock bonus bets from the National Championship, or any other game you want.

Let’s use a same game parlay as an example of how to activate the $1K offer. For example, you place $100 on the Huskies +176 to upset the Wolverines combined with the over 56 total points for a +427 two-leg parlay.

It’s safe to say if Washington wins this matchup, it will likely hit the over and means their offense schemed well against Michigan’s stout defense. If you placed $100 on the above parlay, here are the two potential outcomes from this promo.

This promo is easy to navigate and can be maximized by finding favored lines that fall into the -500 or greater requirement. For example, if you like Michigan to win the national championship, the moneyline at -215 qualifies.

Now, you’ll need at least a $10 deposit and $5 cash bet on the moneyline, for example. No matter what happens in the game, the wager alone earns bonus bets within an hour of the bet settlement.

For both offers, the bonus bets are valid for 90 days and can be used across the bet365 platform with some odds restrictions. You can only play the bonus bets once, meaning the stake is forfeit when you place a bet using bonus bets but they can still profit cash from a win.
