How the BetMGM bonus code works for Week 1 NFL

The BetMGM bonus code SI1500 unlocks a straightforward welcome offer for first-time bettors. After you register and make a minimum $10 deposit, place your first real money wager on any Week 1 NFL matchup. If your bet loses, BetMGM returns your entire stake as bonus bets, up to $1,500.

Here's how the bonus bets break down:

  • If you wager $50 or less and lose, you receive one bonus bet equal to your stake.
  • If you wager more than $50 and lose, you receive five bonus bets, each worth 20 percent of your qualifying wager.
  • For example, if you wagered $1,500 on Seattle versus New England and lost, you would receive five $300 bonus bets.
  • Bonus bets expire seven days after issuance.
  • You also earn $50 in MGM Rewards Points regardless of whether you win or lose.

MGM Rewards Points can be redeemed for bonus credits for digital play at BetMGM, additional MGM Rewards Points, Marriott Bonvoy Points, merchandise, or Gametime Vouchers. Learn more about the program at the BetMGM Rewards page.
