bet365 bonus code BARKER: $2k first bet safety net/insurance

Other sites call this something different -- like first bet insurance or a first bet on the house, or even a "no sweat first bet." bet365 calls it a first bet safety net. But they all work the same.

If your first bet loses, you'll be refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost.

Say you deposit $500 and put it all on Miami to beat Virginia in college basketball action on Monday night at +200.

• If Miami wins, you'll profit $1000 ($500 x 2.0) and keep your $500 wager. You now have $1,500 in your account you can withdraw or keep betting.
• If Miami loses, you'll get back $500 in bonus bets.

Bonus bets are like a credit in which you keep any profit, but not the bet itself. So a $10 bonus bet on the Chiefs +110 would pay $11, but you wouldn't keep the $10 like a normal bet.

bet365 bonus code BARKER: Bet $5, get $150

This offer is a little more straightforward. Just deposit $10, and make a bet of $5+ or more. Once that bet settles, you'll get $150 in bonus bets.

The only "catch" is that your first bet must be at odds of -500 or longer, meaning -300 is OK but -550 is not. You'll keep any profit from winning that first $5+ bet, too.

Promos for existing bet365 users

bet365 does a nice job offering promos and boosts for its existing users, too:

Regular odds boosts: bet365 offers Super Boosts near daily -- on Saturday, they had Jalen Brunson 25+ points and 7+ assists boosted from -150 to +120, with a $15 max bet.

30% profit boost on a 3-leg SGP: Make a 3-leg same game parlay and you'll get a 30% profit boost. So you can boost a +500 SGP to +650, for example.

Up 17 NFL promo: If your team leads by 17 at any point in the game, you win your bet. This helps if they blow the lead, and because you'll get your payout earlier if you want to make another bet.

bet365 has the same promos for NHL (up 3 goals), NCAAB (up 18 points) and NBA (up 20 points).
