New players can sign up with the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS to get their pick of one of two available promotions: a $1,000 bet insurance promotion or a $150 bet and get.
Both offers are available for new users in Colorado, Ohio, New Jersey, Iowa, Kentucky and Virginia. With the exception of Kentucky, where the legal betting age is 18, all of these offers are limited to new users who are at least 21 or older.
New players can get started at bet365 with the module below.
That module will direct users to the bet365 landing page and from there they can choose their preferred promotion and begin wagering.

We’ve highlighted the key sign up conditions in the paragraphs below.
What are the bet365 offers?
As noted above, there are two bet365 promotions available: a $1,000 bet insurance offer or a $150 bet and get.
Both promotions are available in all legal bet365 states — Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia — and are accessible using the same bet365 bonus code CTNEWS.
Critically, in Kentucky the legal betting age is 18 so any new user who is 18 or older can claim either promotion. In every bet365 state, the legal betting age is 21.
Once players click the module and deploy the bonus code, they’ll be ready to choose their preferred promotion.
The First Bet Safety Net promotion does not have a specific wager requirement but new users will need to place their first wager in cash to trigger this promotion. As long as their initial wager is $1,000 or under, they’ll be covered.
If their first wager wins, they’ll collect the profit but will not earn any bonus bets. However, if that initial wager loses, they’ll get their complete stake back in bonus bets, up to $1,000.
Conversely, the other promotion requires new users to place an initial cash wager of at least $5 to trigger that offer. Regardless of how that promotion settles, new users will get $150 in bonus bets.
Wagering with bet365 over the weekend
Alabama Crimson Tide (-450) vs. Kentucky Wildcats (+340)
The Tide will roll into Lexington for a matchup against the Wildcats on midday Saturday. The stakes of this game are wildly different for each team. It’s very possible that ‘Bama comes out a little slow after back to back wins against Tennessee and LSU in back to back weeks.
Kentucky, on the other hand, will be eager and ready for a battle as this is by far their biggest game of the year.
While the Tide looked solid on offense against the Tigers last week, that’s not especially impressive considering how injured LSU has been on defense. Jalen Milroe and the Alabama offense has sloppy and somewhat inconsistent most of this season and they’ll need to solidify their play against a solid Kentucky defense.
For their part, the Wildcats have punched above their weight this season. Offensively, they’ve been mostly mediocre with some impressive flashes but QB Devin Leary is back to full strength which will help the passing attack out a ton.
Additionally, that’ll open up some more holes for RB Ray Davis to operate as ‘Bama won’t be able to stack up defensive backs and linebackers on the line.
Despite some offensive explosiveness on both sides, this one has the makings of grueling, defensive matchup.
Overall, Alabama is a 10.5 point favorite with the O/U at 47. That spread is WIDE considering Kentucky’s home field advantage. Bet on the Wildcats to beat the spread here.
bet365 sign up details
While both promotions are restricted to new customers, there are some discrepancies in the age restrictions. Bettors in Colorado, New Jersey, Iowa, Ohio and Virginia must be 21 or older to claim either offer.
However, Kentucky’s sports betting legislation allows for anyone 18 and over to wager, thus in the Bluegrass State any player, 18 or older is able to claim either promotion.
New players do not need to be a resident of any of the states above to claim these offers, but they must be within one of the relevant state’s boundaries which bet365 will verify using geolocation data.
After that, new users can unlock any of these promotions with the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS. Players in one of those six states will be able to pick their desired promotion from a bet365 landing page.
Regardless of which promotion they claim, a new user’s initial deposit and initial wager must be made in cash to qualify for any of these offers.
Any bonus bets earned from these promotions will be distributed shortly after bet settlement. Bonus bets cannot be withdrawn or cashed out without being wagered first. Similarly, bonus bets are only valid for one wager a piece.
