Sign Up at BetMGM →Promo code
No code is needed for most offers — the welcome bonus applies automatically when you sign up through our link.
Step-by-step sign-up
- Confirm BetMGM is live in your state and that you are 21 or older (18+ only where the state permits). Betting must be legal where you are physically located.
- Open BetMGM through the OddsGrab link on this page — it carries the current welcome offer automatically, so there is usually no promo code to type.
- Tap “Sign Up” and enter your details: legal name, date of birth, email, and the last four digits of your SSN, which the book uses to verify your identity.
- Create a username and password, accept the terms, and confirm your account. Most sign-ups verify instantly using the details you provide.
- Make a qualifying deposit with any supported payment method (see the list below). Deposits are typically instant and fee-free.
- Opt into the welcome offer — First bet offer up to $1,500 — before you place your first wager, so the qualifying bet counts toward the bonus.
- Place your first bet, then line-shop every future wager on OddsGrab to keep taking the best available price.
How to claim the bonus
- Opt into “First bet offer up to $1,500” during registration or from the BetMGM promotions hub before betting.
- Deposit at least the qualifying amount using a supported payment method.
- Place your first wager — pick a market and stake you genuinely like, since a loss is covered up to the cap.
- If the bet wins, you keep the cash profit. If it loses, BetMGM refunds the stake in bonus bets up to the cap.
- Stake any bonus bets within the expiry window; only the winnings from them are withdrawable.
First-bet strategy
BetMGM prices basketball and baseball competitively, so an NBA or MLB moneyline or spread is a natural first bet. Because the welcome offer refunds a losing first wager in bonus bets, you can take a number you genuinely like rather than playing it safe.
A slightly larger first stake is reasonable under a no-sweat structure — just stay within the cap, since the refund only covers losses up to the stated maximum.
