The bet365 bonus code SHNEWS can activate one of two welcome promos in any bet365 location — $1K first bet insurance or Bet $5, Get $150.

You’ll need to be a first-time customer in the following legal sports betting states to qualify: Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.

Tap the module below of your preferred introductory offer to find the bet365 sign-up page where you can set up your new account.

After verifying your state and registering a new account with bonus code SHNEWS, you have the choice between the following offers:

First bet insurance offers are quite common among top sports betting apps such as bet365. They allow you to place a bet for a chance at cash or recover your miss if the bet doesn’t go your way.

You’ll need a new account, a minimum $10 deposit and a cash wager of any size to activate the safety net. Then, the promo plays out depending on the outcome of your first bet.

Win — You profit cash and keep your stake from the winning first bet

Miss — bet365 sends you bonus bets within an hour that equal your stake up to a maximum $1,000

If your first bet misses and you earn bonus bets, you can use them almost instantly. You’ll have seven days to use the funds and these bonus bets are treated as currency meaning they can be split among multiple wagers for a chance at cash.

The alternate offer has a few more requirements than the safety net but can be unlocked with lower upfront cost. You need a new account, a minimum $10 deposit and at least a $5 bet on -500 or greater odds.

What qualifies for the odds restriction?

You can bet on odds such as a -250 moneyline or +200 pitcher strikeout player prop. Generally, only heavily favored moneylines such as -600 fall outside of the odds requirement.

As long as you meet those rules, you earn the bonus bets whether your first bet wins or not. The bonus bets work the same as the other offer, hitting your account within an hour of bet settlement and lasting for seven days.

The Euro 2024 and Copa America tournaments resume Thursday with Argentina vs. Uruguay and Friday matchups from Spain vs. Germany to Portugal vs. France. In the meantime, you can find an extensive MLB slate on Wednesday throughout the day with multiple markets available on bet365.

One of the games I’ll be watching is the matchup between two division leaders in the Baltimore Orioles and Seattle Mariners. The Orioles will be especially desperate as they are holding off the New York Yankees for control of the AL East.

While baseball is the major sport available on Wednesday, you can bet any sport on bet365 to unlock one of the welcome promos.
