Bet365 and BetMGM are launching new promotions for sports bettors, offering enticing bonuses for MLB, WNBA, and U.S. Open events. Bet365 is providing a choice between $150 in bonus bets or a $1,000 first bet safety net for new users who create an account. To activate the $150 bonus, users need to place a $5 bet on any game. The $1,000 first bet safety net allows users to bet up to that amount, with a refund available if the bet loses.

This promotion comes at a time when the MLB schedule is packed with games, including matchups like the Yankees against the Rays and the Brewers facing the Cubs. Users can utilize their bonus bets on any market available on Bet365. For instance, a $5 wager on the Yankees' moneyline will unlock the $150 bonus, which can be used on other games.

Meanwhile, BetMGM is offering a similar promotion with a choice of a $150 bonus or a $1,500 first bet safety net, depending on the user's location. In states like Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, users can claim the $150 bonus by placing a winning $10 bet. In other eligible states, the $1,500 safety net is available.

Both promotions can be activated by signing up and providing basic personal information, including name and address. Users must also make an initial deposit using a secure payment method. Bonus bets from both promotions will expire after one week.

Tonight's MLB games, including the Yankees-Rays and Brewers-Cubs, are expected to attract significant betting interest. The Yankees are aiming to secure a wild card spot, while the Cubs are looking to stay competitive in the wild card race against the Brewers. Other notable games include the Astros facing the Tigers and the Mariners playing the Phillies.

As the sports betting landscape continues to grow, these promotions from Bet365 and BetMGM provide new users with opportunities to enhance their betting experience.
