Unlock $150 in bonus bets with ESPN BET promo code SHNEWS. Deposit $10, place any bet on any game, and instantly receive five $20 bonus bets (that you can also use on any game). You’ll get the other $50 bonus bet within 24-48 hours. ESPN BET’s standard offer on site is just $100 in bonus bets, so you won’t get that extra $50.

This exclusive offer is not applicable for those transferring old PENN accounts to ESPN BET. And remember to utilize your bonus bets within the first seven days before they expire.

To claim, download the ESPN BET app or visit ESPNBET.com on your desktop. Provide accurate information during sign-up to ensure seamless identity verification. Enter promo code SHNEWS, deposit $10 or more (preferably using a debit card since it’s slightly more reliable than credit card, depending on your provider), and make your initial bet. Receive $100 in bonus bets promptly, with an extra $50 arriving in a day or two.

If you’re visiting an ESPN BET state but don’t live there, you can still sign up. Just use your real address, and not the address of your hotel, AirBNB, or perosn you’re visiting. If you use any inaccurate information, ESPN BET won’t be able to verify you identity, and you won’t be able to bet.

The ESPN BET verification process has taken several days for many users. For the best chance to be verified right away, make sure the address you input matches the address that’s on your driver’s license.

For optimal use, employ bonus bets on plus-money wagers, maximizing value without retaining the stake. Bonus bet mechanics resemble those on other platforms like FanDuel and DraftKings.

Consider two approaches:

Here’s conversion example. You put a $20 bonus bet on the Commanders at +600 at ESPN BET and $106.67 on the Cowboys at -800 at FanDuel. No matter the result, you’ll profit almost $14, which means you’ve converted your bonus bet at about a 70% rate.

If you’re going for maximum expected value, you’ll want to take a longshot in the +300 to +500 range. Chicago State in college basketball against UTEP is a good option — ESPN BET has by far the best price in the market at +450, with DraftKings the closest at +410.

ESPN BET is also giving out plenty of promotions to existing users with no opt-in required. They’re mostly insurance-based — meaning if something unusual happens, you’ll get refunded in bonus bets.
