Use bet365 bonus code BARKER for $1K bet insurance or $150 bet/get on any game

bet365's international prowess is well-known, but now one of the world's leading sports betting brands is offering new players stateside two excellent welcome promotions.

You can use the bet365 bonus code BARKER to access the collective landing page and select either a $1,000 bet insurance offer or a $150 bet and get.

Unlike some other operators with a similar promotional set up, you'll get to select your preferred offer. You'll have 30 days from when you begin the sign up process, to pick your offer.

You can use the hyperlinks above, or the modules below to get started.

Offer details

With the bet insurance offer, you'll get the value of your cash stake credited to your account if you lose — up to $1K. Critically, your first cash bet of the day is what counts. If you put down $40 in cash to start the day, lose and then wager $220, you'll get $40 in bonus bets.

You're covered up to $1,000 with that promotion.

With the bet and get, you only need to place a cash bet of $5 to trigger this promotion. Win or lose, you'll get $150 in bonus bets when it settles.

Wagering with bet365

Both offers can be useful for new customers looking to tip their toe into sports betting, but each has a more ideal use.

For example, given the low wager threshold with the bet and get, you can wager the minimum and still collect some bonus bets. No need to push your luck here, keep it simple with a $5 cash bet and collect the bonus bets when it settles.

The bet insurance offer is a bit different. To maximize the potential value here, you can place a decent cash bet on an underdog. For example, if you put down $150 in cash on the Thunder moneyline at +148 you could earn $222 in profit. That's much better compared to the $84.75 you would win if you bet on the favored Mavericks.
