bet365 Bonus Code BARKER: Your choice of offer awaits for CFP, any game 


John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

bet365 bonus code BARKER unlocks a choice of two offers in seven states where bet365 operates. Both use the same code; you'll enter promo code BARKER and be prompted to pick your offer on a landing screen after registration.

  • The first offer is a $1,000 first bet safety net. So if your first bet loses, you'll be refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost.
  • The second option is $150 in bonus bets after a $5 wager on anything. You'll get the bonus bets no matter what. 

bet365 is available in seven states -- Kentucky, Ohio, Louisiana, New Jersey, Virginia, Colorado and Iowa.

How bet365's bonus codes work

Let's run through some examples of how bet365's bonus offers will work on Monday if you use them on the College Football Playoff.

If you max out the safety net, it's a higher-value offer than the $150. But if you're just looking for some bonus bets to mess around with, the $150 offer may make more sense.

First Bet Safety Net

With the safety net, you'll be refunded in bonus bets equal to what you lost, should your first bet loses.

So say you deposit $500 and put it all on Alabama +110 against Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinal.

  • If Alabama wins, you profit $550 in cash, and you keep your $500 wager. You'll now have $1,050 in your account you can withdraw or continue betting, and the promo is over.
  • If Alabama loses, you get $500 back in bonus bets.

If you do get the bonus bets back, you'll have to wager them to turn them into cash, and hopefully make back your $500 and more.

So how do the bonus bets work? Like they do at most other sportsbooks. You keep any profit from those wagers, but not the stake of the bet itself. They also don't expire unless your account is inactive for 90 days, and they can be split into any increments you'd like.

So let's say you take $100 in bonus bets and put it on Washington moneyline against Texas in the second CFP semifinal on Monday night, priced at +160.

  • If Washington wins, you'll profit $160 ($100 x 1.6) but you don't keep the $100 bonus bet. So you'd now have $160 cash in your account and $400 in bonus bets remaining.
  • If Washington loses, the $100 bonus bet just goes away.

$150 Bonus Bets

This offer is a bit more straightforward. Just deposit $10 and make a $5 bet on any game that's -500 or longer (meaning -400 is OK but -600) is not and you'll get the $150 in bonus bets.

Again, the bonus bets don't expire and you can split them into any increments you'd like. So if you want to make one, $150 bet you can. If you want to make 150, $1 bets, that works too.

How to Sign Up at bet365

  1. Download the bet365 app from the App Store, or head to bet365.com if you're on your computer.
  2. Enter accurate sign-up info -- if you don't, you won't be able to verify your identity, and you can't deposit.
  3. Enter bet365 bonus code BARKER. After finishing the registration, you'll be prompted to pick your offer.
  4. Deposit $10 using any method you'd like. Debit card is usually reliable, as is bank transfer.
  5. Make a $5+ bet if you take the $150 deal, or make a max $1,000 bet if you take the safety net.
