Use the BetMGM bonus code SIBONUS50 to claim a $1,500 First Bet offer as of May 25. New users can also explore other sportsbook promos available right now. With the NBA and NHL Western Conference Finals, WNBA, and MLB all in action, there is no shortage of markets to target this Sunday.

How the BetMGM bonus code offer works for NBA and NHL playoffs betting

The BetMGM bonus code SIBONUS50 unlocks a First Bet offer worth up to $1,500 for new users. Place your first real money wager on any market, including Game 4 of the Spurs vs. Thunder Western Conference Finals or the Golden Knights vs. Avalanche series, and if it loses, BetMGM will return your stake in bonus bets.

Here is how the bonus bet structure breaks down depending on your wager size:

  • If your first bet is $50 or more and loses, you receive five bonus bets, each worth 20% of your original stake. For example, a $1,500 losing wager on Victor Wembanyama to lead the Spurs in scoring would return five $300 bonus bets, totaling $1,500.
  • If your first bet is under $50 and loses, you receive one bonus bet equal to your full stake.
  • If your first bet wins, you collect your winnings as normal. For instance, a winning $100 bet on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder to cover the spread pays out immediately.
  • Bonus bets expire seven days after issuance.
  • BetMGM does not return your stake when you use bonus bets.
  • A minimum deposit of $10 is required to qualify.

Win or lose, every new user who uses the BetMGM promo code SIBONUS50 also receives $50 in MGM Rewards Points. Those points are part of the broader BetMGM Rewards program, which lets you redeem points for bonus credits for digital play at BetMGM, MGM Rewards Points, Marriott Bonvoy Points, merchandise, and Gametime Vouchers. You can learn more about the full rewards program at the BetMGM Rewards page.

Users in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia also have access to an alternate offer using the bonus code for BetMGM SIBONUS50. Place a $10 first bet, and if it wins, you receive $150 in bonus bets issued as three $50 bonus bets, plus $50 in MGM Rewards Points regardless of outcome. This is a strong option for new bettors looking to get in on the WNBA or MLB action with a smaller initial wager.

This BetMGM promotion is available to first-time users in the following states: AZ, CO, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MS, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY. It is not available in NV, NY, or Ontario, Canada.

BetMGM has two separate welcome offers, each restricted to specific states. The $1,500 First Bet promotion is available to new customers in AZ, CO, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MD, MA, MI, MO, MS, NC, NV, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY, as well as DC and PR. By using bonus code COVERS and depositing at least $10, players can place their first wager and receive bonus bets back—up to $1,500—if it loses. In contrast, the Bet $10, Get $150 offer is limited to MI, NJ, PA, and WV. With bonus code COVERSBONUS, new users who deposit $10 and place a $10 bet will earn $150 in bonus bets if that wager wins.
