bet365 is offering new customers two choices for introductory offers.
The first option is to have a first bet safety net of $2,000 in bonus bets. Bettors who sign up and make a minimum $10 deposit can place a qualifying bet of up to $2,000 and become eligible for a matched refund in Bonus Bets if the qualifying wager loses. The offer applies to the first straight wager, parlay, same-game parlay, or Same Game Parlay+ after the offer is claimed and must be made with cash — not Bonus Bets.
The second option for new bettors who sign up with a $10 deposit is to receive $150 in Bonus Bets with a $5 wager. The qualifying bet must settle within 30 days in order to release the Bonus Bets. Additionally, one bet must have odds of -500 or greater and only the largest cumulative wager on an individual selection within a market will count toward the settled bets requirement.
