Last Chance for $150 Bonus Bets as Deadline Approaches

PHILADELPHIA, PA — As of Wednesday, February 26, 2025, BetMGM is offering a $150 bonus bet for new users across 11 states. However, time is limited, as this exclusive offer will expire in five days following a weekend full of NBA and NHL matchups.

To redeem the BetMGM bonus, new users must place a qualifying bet of just $10. If that bet wins, they will receive $150 in bonus bets, which function as site credit usable on any BetMGM sports market. Notably, winnings from successful bonus bets can be withdrawn as cash.

Eligible states for this offer include Arizona, Colorado, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. BetMGM emphasizes that if users are not eligible for this promotion, they should explore other top offers on the site.

The bonus bets can be utilized across various sports, including exciting matchups this weekend—highlighted by the Thursday showdown between the Denver Nuggets and the Milwaukee Bucks, and the clash between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday.

In addition to the BetMGM offer, new users have an option to claim a $100 bonus with Bet365, which will expire after the Lakers vs. Timberwolves game on February 27, 2025. To unlock this Bet365 bonus, new bettors need to enter the promo code SYRACUSE and place a qualifying wager of at least $5.

Rick Pitino‘s St. John’s team is also set to face Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse tonight, with a game time of 9 p.m. EST. According to data analysts at Dimers, St. John’s is predicted to win with a 77% probability, and bettors might consider betting on St. John’s moneyline, currently set at -335. This prediction stems from 10,000 simulated outcomes comparing the two teams.

For those tracking lines, Dimers indicates that St. John’s has a 51% chance of covering a -7.5 point spread, while the over/under of 150.5 points is ranked at a near 50-50 chance of hitting. The projected final score of the match is 78-71 in favor of St. John’s.

Gambling experts highlight that while these predictions offer insights, success in betting requires responsible practices. Those with gambling-related questions are urged to seek help using the national gambling helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER.

As sports betting continues to gain traction, offers like those from BetMGM and Bet365 provide additional value for new bettors. However, participants must act quickly, as expiration dates draw near.
