The BetMGM bonus code TRIBUNEMATCH offers new bettors a 20 percent deposit match, for a total of up to $1,100.

Since this is a 20 percent deposit match, users need to deposit a total of $5,500 to get the full deposit match amount. There is an additional 10x rollover bonus so users would have to bet 10 times their bonus to get the complete amount. This is different from the usual BetMGM “first bet on the house” offer, which will return Friday.

For example, if a user wagers $3,000 they’ll get $600 back in bonus bets. Similarly, if a user puts in $4,000, they’ll get $800 in bonus bets back into their account.

In addition to the deposit match offer, BetMGM currently offers new users two sport-specific promotions based on where they’re wagering from, what sports they intend to wager on and how much they bet. In total, there are three available promotions for new BetMGM users:

  • BetMGM bonus code TRIBUNEMLB: This exclusive promotion offers new users up to $200 in bonus bets in Massachusetts and Ohio when they place a $10 MLB moneyline wager. Other states will get $100 in bonus bets instead of $200.
  • BetMGM bonus code TRIBUNENBA: This NBA promotion is similarly structured, as it gives new users up to $100 in bonus bets when they place a $10 moneyline bet on any NBA playoff game in most states. Mass. and Ohio will get $200.
  • BetMGM bonus code TRIBUNEMATCH: This exclusive deposit match, which is legal in every BetMGM state except New York and Washington D.C., gives new users a deposit match up to $1,100.

How to bet with the BetMGM bonus code on Wednesday

Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics

The No. 8 seed Heat square off with one of the conference’s best teams for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday night.

These two are obviously very familiar with each other, even with some roster tweaks throughout this season. This will be the third time in four seasons they’ve faced each other in the conference finals.

Miami comes into this one as a significant underdog, having lost in the play-in tournament before besting the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the early rounds and the Knicks after that.

The Celtics, on the other hand, have looked dominant throughout. While they’ve had tough games, both against the Hawks and the 76ers, their defense has looked solid and Jayson Tatum has been playing like a superstar.

Marcus Smart will be key for the Celtics on Wednesday. Smart’s assists have been down slightly from his regular season numbers but he’s still playing upwards of 30 minutes a game. He’s a critical defensive asset for Boston. During the regular season matchups with the Heat, he was able to rack up the assists and he’s likely to notch a few again on Wednesday.

Most books have him at 5.5 assists. Back the over on that one as Smart will be doing more on offense than in previous series.

For the Heat, Bam’s rebounding is a key to success. The Celtics don’t have as much support down low and have shown some vulnerabilities on the glass. With that in mind, look for Bam to go over on the 8.5 rebounds most books have projected for him.

Overall, the Celtics are eight-point favorites at home here with the total at 211. While they’re a solid bet on the moneyline, the spread is generous given that Boston is coming off a seven-game series. With more rest, the Heat will be able to cover the spread.

BetMGM promos, explained

BetMGM’s current promotional situation is a bit different from other sportsbooks. Most notably, BetMGM has three offers for new customers to choose from based on where they’re betting from, what they’re betting on and how much they’re betting.

The deposit match bonus — which is currently available in 17 states — gives users 20 percent of their initial deposit back in bonus bets, with an $1,100 cap. The NBA and MLB promotions gives users $100 in bonus bets when they place either a team moneyline wager on an MLB squad or any moneyline bet on an NBA playoff game.

Additionally, users in Ohio and Massachusetts will get $200 in bonus bets with the NBA offer.

New players can claim the deposit match offer, which is legal in every BetMGM state except New York and Washington D.C., by using the module below and deploying the bonus code TRIBUNEMATCH while signing up.

From there, they can get 20 percent of their deposit matched by the sportsbook.

The MLB exclusive is a bit different, with new users getting $100 in bonus bets when they place a team moneyline wager of at least $10. This offer is available in every BetMGM state except Massachusetts, Ohio, New York and Massachusetts. New bettors can easily claim this offer by clicking the module below and deploying the bonus code TRIBUNEMLB.

The NBA exclusive is structured similarly. New users can get $100 in bonus bets when they put a real-money wager of at least $10 on any NBA playoff game. Like the deposit match promotion, this offer is legal in every BetMGM state except New York and Washington D.C. New users can easily claim this offer by using the bonus code TRIBUNENBA at sign up.

Notably, all of these promotions mention bonus bets in some capacity. In all three offers, bonus bets serve as credits for additional wagers but are cannot be withdrawn or cashed out. Similarly, bonus bets are only valid for one wager each and thus will not be returned in the event of a successful wager.

Another critical note, bonus bets are not distributed at a 1:1 ratio but rather proportionally based on how much the user bets.

For example, if a new users wagers $50 or more in cash, they’ll get up to five bonus bets of equivalent value. So, if the player is getting $500 back in bonus bets, they’ll get five bonus bets each equal to $100. If the user is getting $1,000 back they’ll get five bonus bets equal to $200 a piece.

However, if the users places a wager of less than $50, they’ll get one bonus bet equal to the value of their stake.
