Bet365, BetMGM Offer $150-$1,500 Bonus Bets for MLB, WNBA Across Multiple States

Multiple sportsbooks are offering attractive bonus promotions to new customers for MLB, NFL, WNBA, and other sports betting in August 2025. BetMGM's 'Second Chance Promo' with the code BOOKIESBONUS offers up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the customer's first wager loses, applicable across various sports including the NFL preseason. Bet365 provides two main welcome offers under the bonus code BOOKIES: a $150 bonus after betting $5, win or lose, and a First Bet Safety Net that refunds up to $1,000 in bonus bets if the first wager loses, with additional state-specific offers like the 'SYRACUSE' code in Illinois granting a guaranteed $150 bonus. These bonuses are available for betting on marquee events such as the MLB games featuring the Houston Astros vs. Boston Red Sox, Cubs vs. Cardinals rivalry, and Mets vs. Brewers series, as well as WNBA and PGA playoff action. The promotions typically require a minimum deposit and have wagering requirements and expiration periods for the bonus bets, providing bettors with low-risk opportunities to engage in sports wagering this season.
