20% Deposit Match — up to $1.6K
$1.5K First Bet Insurance
With the deposit match offer, you’ll get 20 percent of whatever you deposit in cash credited to your account as sports bonuses. From there, you’ll have to meet a 10x wager requirement to maintain your eligibility. So if you deposit $200 in cash, you’ll get $40 in sports bonuses credited to your account. Moving forward, you’d have 30 days to wager $400 in cash.
On the other hand, the bet insurance offer has a $1,500 cap and thus you’ll get the value of your first wager back as bonus bets if you lose. A losing wager of $320 in cash will get you $320 in bonus bets.

How to use the BetMGM bonus code offers
Given that each of these offers has distinct formats, each of the promotions has an ideal market. We’ll go over some of the best potential wagers for each offer in the subsections below.
20% Deposit Match
With this promotion, you’ll need to meet a 10x wager requirement. Thus, you can make a hefty wager up front to meet that threshold or chip away at it over the 30 days.
If you deposit $320 in cash, you’ll get $64 in sports bonuses credited to your account. From there, you’ll need to wager $640 in cash over the following 30 days. Say you bet $100 on the hypothetical Blue Jays moneyline of +120.
With a win, you’d get $120 in profit, plus you’d keep the $100 cash stake. Moving forward, you’d have to wager $540 to meet the 10x requirement.
$1.5K First Bet Insurance
The structure of this offer lends itself to a cash wager on an underdog market. With a win, you’ll get a nice profit and if your bet loses, you’ll get the value of your first cash wager back as bonus bets.
Say, for example, that you placed a $220 cash wager on the Rockies moneyline (+101) against the Giants (-105). With a win, you’d get $222.20 in profit and keep your original cash stake. If that wager settled as a loss, you’d initially forfeit the cash stake but would get $220 as bonus bets credited to your account.
