One of the biggest sports betting brands in the world, bet365, offers new players in 10 states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, VA) a dual offer structure. Unlike many other operators, you can use the singular bet365 bonus code CTNEWS to claim either a $1K bet insurance or a $150 bet and get.
If you claim the bet insurance offer, you’ll get up to $1,000 back in bonus bets if your first cash wager of the day loses. Say you start the day with a $100 cash wager and lose, you’ll get $100 in bonus bets within an hour of the bet settling.
On the other hand, the bet and get has a minimum wager requirement of just $5 and — as long as your bet is made in cash — you’ll get $150 in bonus bets when it settles.
Once you initiate the sign up process and access the bet365 landing page, you’ll have 30 days to select your preferred promotion.

Wagering with bet365
Both offers are useful for new players but each has a distinct use case. The bet insurance offer is ideal for players looking at an underdog market. If your wager hits, you’ll collect a substantial profit and if you lose, you’ll get the value of your first cash wager back as bonus bets.
Say for example, you put down $120 on the Oilers moneyline at +111:
If they win, you’d collect $133.20 and keep your cash stake but wouldn’t earn any bonus bets
If that wager lost, you’d get $120 in bonus bets credited to your account within an hour of the bet settling
On the other hand, if you claimed the bet and get promotion you could put down the minimum cash wager of just $5 on any market with -500 or longer. The NHL market above would apply, either the Stars (-132) or the Oilers (+111) moneyline would work.
Regardless of how either of those wagers settle, you’ll get $150 in bonus bets.
