Online sports betting is officially live in North Carolina, following the March 11 launch. As expected, the international sports betting giant bet365 is one of eight operators that’s now live in the Tar Heel State.
You can use the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS to unlock a unique dual offer structure in that state and elsewhere. Claim either a $1,000 bet insurance offer or a $200 bet and get in North Carolina.
Activate that offer with that bonus code above and this link. You’ll be directed to a collective landing page for the betting powerhouse. From that point, you’ll have 30 days to select your desired promotion.
As noted in the headline, this dual offer structure is available in nine other states with the same CTNEWS bonus code and same basic offer structure, a bet and get or a bet insurance offer. However, in those nine other states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NJ, OH, VA), the bet and get value is $150 rather than $200.
How to wager with bet365 North Carolina
There are a couple key components to keep in mind with both of these NC offers.
You cannot claim both offers, you’ll have 30 days to pick one from the initial sign up point
If you’ve signed up with bet365 at any point before, you won’t be eligible
Only players who are 21 or older (18 or older in KY) are eligible
You’ll need to make a cash deposit of at least $10 to register your account
Any bonus bets earned will be distributed within an hour of bet settlement and remain valid for seven days from distribution
$200 Bet and Get
The bet and get promotional structure will be common to most readers. But for those who are unfamiliar, these type of offers require a small cash wager to get started. Once that wager settles, regardless of whether you win or lose, you’ll collect some bonus bets.
In this case, you’re required to wager at least $5 in cash and you’ll get $200 in bonus bets when it settles, no matter what. Thus, this offer lends itself to a small cash wager initially. If you win you’ll collect a modest profit but regardless you’re getting the bonus bets.
Say you put down the minimum required $5 on the UCONN moneyline (-292). If the Huskies win you’d get a small profit but either way you’d collect the $200 in bonus bets.
You can deploy those bonus bets for any additional wager on the platform but cannot withdraw them or cash them out until they’ve been wagered. Similarly, any bonus bets you earn are only valid for one wager a piece and thus will not be included in any winning stake.
$1K Bet Insurance
This is another common offer structure but is quite different from the bet and get type. With this offer, you’ll only earn bonus bets if your initial cash wager loses, and you’re capped out at $1,000.
So say you put down $950 in cash on the Purdue moneyline (+237). If they win, you’d collect a substantial profit of $2,251.50 but obviously would not earn any bonus bets. On the other hand, if the Boilermakers lost, you’d get that full $950 back as bonus bets.
With this offer, it behooves you to put up a hefty cash stake on an underdog. If they win, you’ll collect big time and even if they lose, you’ll recover your stake as bonus bets.
