Use bet365 bonus code BARKER for sign-up bonus offer: $1K First Bet Safety Net or $150 bet and get, applicable to Euro '24 or any game, in 10 states

When it comes to international sports betting, there's no bigger name than bet365. That said, in recent months the global powerhouse has become one of the best sports betting apps in the U.S.

You can sign up with the bet365 bonus code BARKER and claim either a $1K First Bet Safety Net or a $150 bet and get. Once you initiate the sign-up process — either with the hyperlinks or the modules — you'll need to make a first-time deposit to activate the welcome offer.

With the First Bet Safety Net offer, you'll get the value of your first cash bet back as bonus bets if it settles as a loss. The bet and get, on the other hand, requires a cash bet of at least $5 to trigger the offer. When it settles, you'll get $150 in bonus bets, win or lose.

To qualify for the bet and get, you'll need to put down at least $5 in cash on a market with -500 odds or longer.

Both these offers are available in all 10 states (AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, VA) where bet365 operates.

Wagering examples with bet365 bonus code offers

You won't be able to claim both offers, but we'll provide an overview of the best potential wagers below to demonstrate ideal uses for either sign-up bonus.

With the First Bet Safety Net promotion, you can maximize your potential profit with a cash wager on an underdog. A win will garner substantial profit, and even if you lose, you'll collect bonus bets equivalent to your first cash stake.

The bet and get is a bit different as you can wager the minimum and still collect $150 in bonus bets. In fact, if you place a $5 cash bet, you'll earn 30 times that in bonus bets, no matter the outcome of the wager.

We'll use a Euro 2024 matchup as an example for the First Bet Safety Net. If you wager $250 in cash on the Turkey moneyline at +320, you'd get $800 in profit with a win. If that wager settles as a loss, you'll get $250 in bonus bets back.

On the other hand, if you claim the bet-and-get bet365 promo, you could put bet $5 on any available sports betting market and $150 in bonus bets is all yours. So a $5 cash bet on Turkey to cover the +0.5 spread (-120) doesn't earn much profit, but you'll get $150 in bonus bets once the bet settles.
