bet365 welcome offer, explained

This welcome offer has a different structure than most, as opposed to other new customer offers that require a user’s first bet to settle as a loss, this bet365 offer only requires users to make a small qualifying wager.

To claim this promotion, users need to make a deposit after establishing their account and place a cash qualifying wager of at least $1 to initiate this offer.

After that first bet settles, either as a loss or a victory, users in four bet365 states will get $200 in bonus bets. As noted above, bettors in Iowa will get $365 in bonus bets.

New users need to sign up for a bet365 account using the promo code CTNEWS, make a $10 deposit and place a cash wager of at least $1 to trigger this offer. Critically, users first wager must be with odds of -500 or longer so -250 is permissible while -750 is not.

Any bonus bets earned from this promotion are only valid for one wager and cannot be withdrawn or cashed out. Additionally, bonus bets earned from this promotion are only valid for one wager and thus, will not be returned in the event of a successful wager.

Additionally, only cash wagers will trigger this offer as any wagers placed with bonus bets or bet credits will not initiate this promotion.

If a bettor put a real-money wager of $100 on the Rockies at +200 against the Braves and Colorado won, they’d collect their $200 in profit, keep their $100 stake and get $200 in bonus bets.

Similarly, if they placed the same wager with bonus bets and the Rockies won, they’d collect their profit but would not get any bonus bets nor would they keep their original stake.

How to use the bet365 promotion on Thursday

Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves

The Rockies travel to Atlanta for a matchup against one of baseball’s most impressive teams this season, the Braves for Game 1 of a three-game series.

Atlanta has been impressive on offense lately, led by Ronald Acuna Jr., and translated that to a series of wins. They’ve 8-2 over their last 10 games, have posted a 20-15 record at home and are leading the NL East.

Conversely, the Rockies are last in the NL West, have gone 3-7 over the past 10 games and are 13-22 on the road this season. They’ll have their work cut out for them as Acuna Jr has been on an absolute heater lately.

He’s top five in batting average and OPS and has three homers and 11 RBIs in his last three games. Adding insult to injury, Acuna Jr. is proficient against left-handed pitchers.

Kyle Freeland will be on the mound for Colorado. He’s performed well in many of his starts and has a decent ERA of 3.91 but has struggled to get wins as the Rockies’ bullpen has dropped the ball in a few games.

The youngster AJ Smith-Shawver will make his first start for the Braves which could present an offensive opportunity for the Rockies as they’ve fared well against right handers thus far this season.

Overall, the Braves are -250 favorites here with the O/U at 9.5. While the total is high, both these pitchers seem to be in for a long day, so bet the over here as this one will feature a lot of offense.
