bet365 currently provides a choice of two introductory offers for users in 10 sports betting states with the use of bet365 bonus code SHNEWS. Any new customer can get started by using one of the modules below, creating a new account with the bonus code and making at least a $10 deposit.

Here are the two current offers available in any bet365 location whether it’s North Carolina or Ohio.

You’ll find this first bet insurance typical among the top sports betting sites. It allows you to recover the stake from a first bet that doesn’t go your way while a winning bet profits cash and you keep the stake.

In this type of promo, the outcome of the bet determines whether you can earn the bonus bets or not. Therefore, I like to activate these offers when making a larger wager over $400 or on plus-money odds.

Alternatively, you can deposit $10 and place $5 on -500 or greater odds to win $150 in bonus bets no matter how the bet settles. This differs from the safety net in that you can win or lose your first bet and still earn the bonus.

Upon bet settlement, the bonus bets hit your account within an hour. These are funds to use throughout the bet365 platform within seven days to avoid expiration.

The NBA postseason is imminent and Tuesday night features two different Western Conference play-in games. In the earlier slot, the Los Angeles Lakers take on the New Orleans Pelicans followed by the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings.

The winner of the Lakers vs. Pelicans will secure the seven seed for a playoff series while the loser will take on the winner of the Warriors and Kings for the final eight seed in the playoffs.

$1K First Bet Safety Net

Let’s say I think the Warriors are overvalued on the road against the Sacramento Kings. I’m covered up to $1,000 and could place a larger wager such as $500 on the Kings +122 as home underdogs.

There are two potential outcomes of the safety net depending on the outcome of my bet.

Bet $5, Get $150

The big piece to navigate with the bet/get promo is the odds restriction of -500 or greater. You’ll notice it’s hard to find heavy favorites past -500 in professional sports, especially as we navigate tighter matchups in the postseason.

For example, the Warriors are favored -146 against the Kings which is well within our odds requirement. If you want to play the bet safe with a favorite, this could be a good option for you.

Since the bet/get pays out bonus bets either way, you can pick a favorite for a better chance at profiting cash and the bonus. Just like the safety net, bonus bets deposit within an hour and last for seven days.
