BetMGM Bonus Code ACTION Totals $1,000 for Patriots vs. Bills

Gearing up for Thursday Night Football? BetMGM bonus code ACTION offers a $1,000 sign-up promo. It’s a first bet on the house for Bills vs. Patriots, or any other game (World Cup included).

What’s that mean? If your first wager on the platform loses, you’ll be refunded in free bets, up to $1,000.

I like betting at BetMGM in particular for standalone NFL games because of its strong first touchdown scorer pricing and first TD scorer promo for Thursday Night Football and Monday Night Football.

If you’re looking for a lower-stakes promo that doesn’t require as much investment up front, BetMGM bonus code ACTIONCUP gets new bettors in Maryland or any other state (besides NY and PA) $200 worth of free bets when they deposit and wager $10 on the World Cup.

How BetMGM Bonus Code ACTION Works

Sportsbook sign-up lingo is confusing, so we put together a full explainer of what each promo means.

Using BetMGM bonus code ACTION, you’ll get a $1,000 bet on the house. Let’s use an example for Bills vs. Patriots.

If you’re unsure what a moneyline, -2 or -110 means, check out our tips for beginner sports bettors.

Your First Bet

You want to use your first bet on a longshot — trust me, the math makes it work. The higher the line, the more expected value. But there’s a good middle ground in the +300 to +500 range in tight markets.

So let’s say I deposit $100 and put it all on Bills WR Isaiah McKenzie to score a touchdown against the Patriots. He scored last week on Thanksgiving against the Lions.

• If McKenzie scores, I pocket $300 and keep the original $100. The promo is now over — I can continue betting this money, or withdraw it all.
• If McKenzie doesn’t score, I lose $100 but get it back in free bets. I’ll now have $0 in my account, but $100 in free bets.

So what happens next? We’ll march onward.

Using Your Free Bets, if Necessary

If you lose that first bet, you’ll get free bets back.

Again, the math says you should be betting longshots. I’ll stick with the same range of odds and bet my $100 in free bets on a Jets-Dolphins moneyline parlay, priced at +310 at BetMGM.

• If the Jets and Dolphins win, I profit $310 but don’t keep the $100 in free bets. Now off my $100 deposit, I’ve made $210. The promo is over, and I can withdraw or continue betting this money.
• If the Jets or Dolphins lose, the free bets are gone, and I end up with nothing.

That’s why these aren’t truly risk-free bets — you can lose it all if you lose your free bets.
