bet365 is one of our favorite sports betting sites and offers an exceptional user interface and prop selection. Just in time for the busy playoff calendar, you can use the bet365 bonus code SHNEWS to activate one of two welcome promos.

bet365 is currently available in the following sports betting states: Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia.

Check out the following bet365 welcome offers and click the corresponding module followed by the bonus code SHNEWS to qualify for one of the promos.

bet365 will reimburse your stake with bonus bets if your first bet doesn’t go your way. Your first bet is covered up to $1,000 which allows you to make high-value first bets knowing you’ll either profit the cash from the win or earn bonus bets that can profit cash.

This promo has virtually no restrictions and only requires the new account followed by a $10 deposit and cash bet of any size.

First, make sure to set up a new account, deposit $10+ and place at least $5 on -500 or greater odds such as -300 or +110. You’ll notice the odds restriction because this promo is best used on favored odds to potentially profit cash along with the bonus bets.

No matter how your bet settles, the bet alone earns the $150 in bonus bets within an hour of bet settlement. These bonus bets are funds to use within the platform for up to seven days.

Tuesday is an exceptional playoff hockey night with two crucial matchups, one in the East and one in the West.

First, the Florida Panthers have the chance to close out the series against the Boston Bruins and move on to the Eastern Conference Finals. Next, if Vancouver can win on the road against the Edmonton Oilers, they’ll take a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Additionally, you’ll find an NBA playoff slate with two series tied 2-2 and both games could go either way. You can bet any sport on the bet365 platform for the offers as long as you mind the -500 or greater odds for the bet/get promo.

You’ll find the safety net is extremely easy to use if you select this promo. Your cash bet can be on any market or odds so it’s entirely up to you on what to bet.

Let’s say I placed $200 on the Vancouver Canucks +180 to win Game 4 and go up 3-1 in the series against the Edmonton Oilers. Here’s how the safety net would work:

The $200 of bonus bets can be spread across multiple wagers for a chance to profit cash. You’ll have seven days to use them within the bet365 mobile app before they expire.

As mentioned earlier, you’ll want to find favored odds that fall within the -500 or greater restriction. This is to keep the upfront cost of earning the bonus bets as low as possible since you earn the bonus no matter how the bet plays out.

Imagine I place $5 on the Florida Panthers -205 vs. the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night to close out the series at home.

A win profits $2.44, returns the $5 stake and earns $150 in bonus bets. While this didn’t earn a lot of cash, I earned the bonus bets and some cash along the way and didn’t lose any cash to earn the bonus.

Meanwhile, if the bet loses, I still earn the bonus bets within an hour of the end of the game. Just like the safety net, these bonus funds are valid for seven days.
