Use the BetMGM bonus code SIBONUS50 to claim a $1,500 First Bet offer ahead of a packed Tuesday night slate. From Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals to a full MLB schedule and continued WNBA action, there is no shortage of markets to explore. Find this and more at sportsbook promos before May 21.

How the BetMGM bonus code offer works for NBA Playoffs, MLB, and WNBA betting

New users who sign up with the BetMGM bonus code SIBONUS50 unlock a First Bet offer worth up to $1,500 in bonus bets. If your first wager loses, BetMGM returns your entire stake as bonus bets. You also earn $50 in MGM Rewards Points regardless of whether your bet wins or loses.

Here is how the bonus bets break down based on your wager amount:

  • If you wager $50 or more and lose, you receive five bonus bets, each worth 20% of your original stake. For example, a $1,500 losing wager returns five $300 bonus bets.
  • If you wager less than $50 and lose, you receive one bonus bet equal to your stake.
  • Bonus bets expire seven days after issuance and cannot be withdrawn directly — you must use them on a wager first.
  • A minimum deposit of $10 is required to qualify.

Say you place your first bet on Donovan Mitchell to lead the Cavaliers in scoring during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks. If that bet wins, you collect your winnings immediately. If it loses, you get your stake back in bonus bets, up to $1,500, to use on the rest of the NBA Playoffs, MLB, or WNBA action throughout the week.

Users in MI, NJ, PA, and WV have access to an alternate offer using the BetMGM Sportsbook promo code SIBONUS50. Place a $10 wager and if it wins, you receive $150 in bonus bets issued as three $50 bonus bets, plus $50 in MGM Rewards Points win or lose. Bonus bets from this offer also expire seven days after issuance.

MGM Rewards Points are part of the broader BetMGM Rewards program, which lets you redeem points in several ways, including bonus credits for digital play at BetMGM, MGM Rewards Points for use at MGM properties, Marriott Bonvoy Points, merchandise, and Gametime Vouchers for live events. You can learn more about the program at the BetMGM Rewards page.
