bet365 Kentucky bonus code CTNEWS: Get $365 in KY, $150 in NJ, Ohio, VA, CO & Iowa all week

bet365, the international betting giant, has continued its American expansion with a recent launch in Kentucky. Bettors in the Bluegrass State can get $365 in bonus bets with any cash wager of at least $1 when they sign up for an account with the CTNEWS bonus code.

Additionally, bettors in the other legal states — Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia — can choose from two different promotions that they can access with that same bonus code. You’ll get either $150 in bonus bets, or a $1,000 first bet safety net (meaning if your first bet loses, you’ll be refunded in bonus bets equal to what you lost).

It’s fairly common for the premier American sportsbooks to entice new customers with some kind of welcome promotion. Typically, those offers are structured as either first bet insurance or as some kind of bet and get.

In this instance, bet365 has both available for new bettors.

The promotional situation at bet365 is a bit more convoluted than at other books so we’ve outlined the details of each promotion below.

In total, there are three offers for new customers at bet365. One is restricted to Kentucky players, the other two are available for bettors in the other five legal states and players will choose their preferred offer at the landing page.

What is the bet365 Kentucky offer?

As mentioned above, new customers visiting or living in the Bluegrass State can take advantage of a brilliant welcome offer when they sign up with the bonus code CTNEWS.

New players can click the module below and use that bonus code to establish an account and get started.

From there, new players will need to make a small cash deposit of at least $10 to register their account and place an initial cash wager of at least $1 to trigger this offer. Both the first wager and the first deposit must be made in cash to be eligible for this promotion.

Regardless of how that bet pans out, players will get $365 in bonus bets shortly after bet settlement.

Any new player, aged 18 or older, within Kentucky state lines can take advantage of this offer.

What are the bet365 promotions elsewhere?

As mentioned above, users in the other five legal bet365 states can choose from one of two available offers: either a bet and get or a first bet insurance offer.

Both those promotions can be unlocked through the modules below and by using the bonus code CTNEWS.

The First Bet Safety Net promotion is, as it sounds, a first bet insurance promotion that will give new users up to $1,000 in bonus bets if their initial wager doesn’t go their way.

Critically, players will only earn bonus bets from this offer if the first wager loses. So, if that initial bet pans out, you’ll collect some profit and can keep betting but will not earn anything from this promotion.

To claim this offer players will need to make a small cash deposit to register their account and place a first bet in cash to trigger this offer.

This promotion is available for any new bettor, at least 21 or older, in one of the legal bet365 states.

When using that module to sign up, new players will be able to pick their preferred promotion: either the aforementioned First Bet Safety Net offer or a $150 bet and get.

The latter promotion will give new users who place a cash wager of at least $5 on any market $150 in bonus bets, regardless of how that first wager settles. The structure of this offer is similar to the Kentucky promotion, but with a different value.

As noted, the same bonus code unlocks both of these offers so players can get started simply by clicking the module above and choosing their preferred promotion.

Both the bet and get and the First Bet Safety Net offer are restricted to new customers who are at least 21 years old.

So, if a new bettor who claimed the first bet insurance offer placed a $200 cash wager on the Astros at +115 against the Twins -136 and Houston won, that new bettor would collect $230 in profit but would not earn any bonus bets.

However, if that initial wager lost the new player would collect $200 in bonus bets.

If that bettor had claimed the $150 bet and get, they would’ve earned the bonus bets even if they won the wager.

What are the bet365 sign-up details?

With so many promotions at bet365, it can be a little confusing to wade through the sign-up information. That said, the bonus code for all bet365 promotions is the same: CTNEWS.

Players can unlock any of the above promotions by clicking the relevant module and signing up for an account using that bonus code.

The Kentucky promotion is limited to new customers within the state boundaries who are at least 18 or older. That offer is a bet and get so new players could potentially win their first wager and earn some bonus bets.

New players in the other legal bet365 states can choose from the other two promotions, either the First Bet Safety Net offer or a $150 bet and get.

Both those offers are limited to new customers, at least 21 or older, who are within the state boundaries.

Bettors do not need to be resident of any of these states to take advantage of the offers but must be within state boundaries which the book will verify using geolocation data.

New players, in Kentucky and elsewhere, will need to make an initial deposit in cash to register their account.

Any bonus bets earned from this offer cannot be cashed out or withdrawn without being wagered first. Additionally, any bonus bets distributed from either offer are only valid for one wager a piece.
