The welcome promotion BetMGM offers doesn’t have a whole lot of strings attached, but here’s what you should know about it:
- You must deposit a minimum of $10.
- When you make your first bet, a winning bet doesn’t result in anything happening: you just win your bet. The bet is refunded in promotional bets if your initial bet loses.
- If you lose your first bet, promotional bets will add up to the amount you wagered. So if you bet $1,000, you will get $1,000 in prromotional bets.
- If you bet more than $50, you will get promotional bets in smaller increments. The five promotional bets will each equal 20% of the initial wager. For instance, a $1,000 bet that loses will result in five $200 promotional bets being credited to your account.
- You don’t receive the value of the bet you made with the promotional bet, just the winnings. So, for a $200 promotional bet, you don’t get the $200, just any winnings from said bet, if your wager is successful.
- Promotional bets must be used within seven days.
