Bet365 is offering new Illinois customers a choice between two welcome bonuses to get started with March Madness betting.

First, users can bet $5 and receive $150 in bonus bets, win or lose, as long as the odds are -500 or greater. This promo gives users extra funds to place additional wagers throughout the tournament.

For those who had a larger bet in mind, bet365 is offering a first-bet safety net up to $1,000, which will provide a second chance if your first wager loses. If that happens, bet365 will issue you a refund in the form of bonus bets, up to $1,000.

A minimum deposit of $10 is required to unlock either offer, making it a fairly easy way for Illinois sports fans to participate in the NCAA Tournament.

Marquette -4 (-110)

The Golden Eagles of Marquette were a top-10 team at one point this season. They say guards win in March, and Marquette has some good ones. Kam Jones is a star and the Golden Eagles’ leading scorer (19.3 PPG), ranking in the top 40 in the country in scoring.

He has ended the season hot, scoring 21, 32, 28, and 24 points in his last four games. New Mexico, while a good defensive team, has played seven matchups with teams in the NCAA Tournament. The Lobos have allowed a player to score 20+ points five times, and that’s a bad trend for them as they must slow down Jones to beat Marquette.
