New bettors in 10 sports betting states have the choice between two bet365 introductory promos with a slight variation for NC customers. In the nine states outside of NC, you can use the bet365 bonus code NYPNEWS for the choice between the following offers:
$1,000 First Bet Safety Net
This is a first bet insurance offer that covers your stake up to $1,000 in bonus bets if your first bet doesn’t go your way. Meanwhile, if you win, it profits cash winnings like any other bet.
You’ll find this offer among many of the top sports betting sites and the $1,000 coverage is standard with some other books. I think this offer can be advantageous when used for wagers larger than $400 or on plus money odds.
Bet $5, Get $150 ($200 in NC)
The bet365 alternate promo works better for smaller wagers or new bettors who want to earn the bonus no matter how the bet shakes out. You’ll need a $10 deposit and $5 cash wager on -500 or longer odds in order to earn the bonus. In North Carolina, you’ll get $200 instead of $150, but the offer is the same.
bet365 deposits the bonus bets within an hour of bet settlement and bonus funds from either offer are valid for seven days in your account.
Steps to register with bet365
- First, decide between the $1K safety net or the Bet $5, Get $150 promo.
- Set up a new account with bonus code NYPNEWS.
- Make at least a $10 deposit for either offer, required by bet365.
- Place a cash bet for the safety net or at least $5 for the bet/get.
How do I navigate the bet365 odds requirement?
Moneyline markets will generally be the only odds you’ll have to pay attention to in order to avoid picking something more favored than -500. Occasionally, you’ll find favored player props but those will still fall around -200 at the most favored.
I like to pick a spread bet if the spread is narrow because those usually pay close to -110. However, you can also snag a favored moneyline for a safer chance of profiting some cash with the bonus bets for the bet/get promo.

$1,000 First Bet Safety Net
The safety net can be a good choice for a plus money wager such as a parlay. Imagine I maximized the offer with a $1,000 bet on a +450 parlay on Wednesday.
A win profits $4,500 and returns the $1,000 stake but doesn’t earn any bonus bets. If a leg of the parlay misses, bet365 will deposit $1,000 of bonus bets into my account within an hour of bet settlement.
These bonus bets can be split up and used within seven days. You’ll have to use them within the platform and they can fund a wager to potentially profit cash.
Bet $5, Get $150
Meanwhile, the main requirement of the bet/get is the $5 wager on -500 or greater odds. An example would be Purdue -450 over NC State qualifies while UConn -750 over Alabama in the Final Four wouldn’t be eligible.
No matter what, the bonus bets are guaranteed from the wager alone within an hour of bet settlement.
