Use the BetMGM bonus code SIBONUS50 to unlock a $1,500 First Bet offer, one of the top sportsbook promos available heading into Sunday, May 31. New users can place their first wager on NHL and NBA Playoffs, MLB, or French Open action and receive up to $1,500 in bonus bets if it loses, plus $50 in MGM Rewards Points win or lose.

How the BetMGM bonus code SIBONUS50 works for Sunday's playoff and Grand Slam action

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 available market, and if it loses, BetMGM returns your stake in bonus bets. With the NBA Finals picture coming into focus, the Stanley Cup Final field nearly set, and the French Open entering its second week, there is no shortage of compelling action to target.

Here is how the bonus bet structure breaks down based on your wager amount:

  • If your first bet is $50 or more and loses, you receive five bonus bets, each worth 20% of your qualifying wager. For example, a $1,500 losing wager returns five $300 bonus bets totaling $1,500.
  • If your first bet is less than $50 and loses, 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  • Bonus bets expire seven days after issuance and cannot be withdrawn directly.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 before accessing any potential payout.
  • A minimum deposit of $10 is required to qualify.
  • Win or lose, you also receive $50 in MGM Rewards Points just for placing your first bet.

Say you place $200 on Novak Djokovic to win the French Open and the bet loses. BetMGM would return five $40 bonus bets, giving you $200 in total bonus credit to use across any market. If your bet wins, you collect your winnings immediately and still pocket those $50 MGM Rewards Points.

New users in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia also have access to an alternate welcome offer. Use the BetMGM Sportsbook promo code SIBONUS50 to place a $10 first bet, and if it wins, you receive $150 in bonus bets issued as three $50 bonus bets, plus $50 MGM Rewards Points regardless of outcome.

MGM Rewards Points are a valuable part of the BetMGM ecosystem. Points can be redeemed for bonus credits for digital play at BetMGM, MGM Rewards Points for use at MGM properties, Marriott Bonvoy Points, merchandise, and Gametime Vouchers. You can learn more about the full rewards program at the BetMGM Rewards page.
