How the BetMGM bonus code works for NBA Opening Night
The BetMGM bonus code SI1500 unlocks a welcome offer that returns your first wager in bonus bets if it loses. Here's how it breaks down:
- Make a minimum $10 deposit to qualify for the offer.
- Place your first real money bet on any market, including NBA Opening Night games like Minnesota at Miami, Dallas at Houston, or Golden State at Los Angeles.
- If your bet loses, you'll receive your entire stake back in bonus bets, up to $1,500.
- Bonus bets are issued as five separate $300 credits if you wagered more than $50, or as one bonus bet if you wagered less than $50.
- All bonus bets expire seven days after issuance.
- You'll also earn $50 in MGM Rewards Points, which are bonus credits for digital play at BetMGM that can be redeemed for various perks.
For example, if you place a $1,500 wager on an NBA Opening Night game and it loses, you'll receive five $300 bonus bets to use on future wagers. If you place a $40 bet and it loses, you'll get one $40 bonus bet instead. Bonus bets cannot be withdrawn as cash and must be used on additional wagers before you can cash out any winnings.

Ryan Hagen’s foray into sports betting started early. At just 14 years old, he sought out a lottery kiosk clerk with relaxed gambling mores and convinced the fella to sell him ‘Sport Select’ tickets, which were part of the original government sports betting program in his native Alberta. Now a sports betting specialist at Sports Illustrated, Ryan prefers to place his bets legally and has established himself as an authority in the sports betting industry. His roles have included lead writer, content editor, managing editor, and more. Ryan has written and edited hundreds of sportsbook reviews and countless news, analysis, and promotional pieces for some of the most prominent companies in the sports betting world. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes sports and sports betting, Ryan’s goal is to impart his unbiased betting knowledge to prospective bettors, allowing them to make informed decisions, whether that’s signing up for a sportsbook, mulling over a moneyline, or placing a prop bet. A prolific bettor himself, Ryan lives for the NFL season and believes that every Saturday night from September to February is akin to Christmas Eve. Ryan has a B.A. in Communications from Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia. His work is widely published in the sports betting industry and in publications such as the Calgary Herald and Vancouver Magazine. Off the clock, he can be found traveling, searching for noodles, working on his golf swing, and managing his degenerate number of fantasy football teams.
