BetMGM bonus code VIBONUS earns all new users a $1,000 first bet on the house, meaning if your first wager loses, you'll be refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost. Up to $1K, that is.

Say I deposit $100 and bet it all on the Chiefs at +600 to win the Super Bowl. If they win, I'll collect $600 in profit and keep my original $100. If they lose, I'll get $100 back in bonus bets.

This is the only BetMGM bonus offer available right now.

We'll dive into more of the specifics of this sign-up bonus and how it works below.

BetMGM bonus code offer, explained

Let's dive deeper into the mechanics of how the BetMGM first bet on the house works.

Back to the Chiefs example from the top. If you bet them to win the Super Bowl with your $100 deposit and they win, you keep the profit ($600) and your initial stake ($100) and the promo is effectively over. You've got $700 in your account you're now free to withdraw that cash, or continue betting it.

If the Chiefs lose, you'll get $100 back in bonus bets. BetMGM splits up the bonus bets in different increments depending on how much you're getting back -- in this case, you'll get five, $20 bonus bets.

So how do those bonus bets work? You keep any profit from them, but not the bonus bet itself.

So let's take a $20 bonus bet in this hypothetical and put it on the Lakers to beat the Heat in a regular season matchup, with L.A. priced at +150.

• If the Lakers win, you'll profit $30 ($20 x 1.5) but don't keep the $20 bonus bet. So you'll have $30 cash in your account, plus $80 in bonus bets.
• If the Lakers lose, your bonus bet just goes away, and you'll have $80 in bonus bets remaining.

Signing Up at BetMGM

It's simple to sign up at BetMGM. Just follow these steps.

• Use this link, or head to betmgm.com.
• Complete the sign-up flow with all your real information. If you try to use a fake address, or the address of the AirBNB you're staying at this weekend, BetMGM can't verify your identity and you won't be able to deposit. It's perfectly legal to bet from a different state than you live, as long as you're physically located in that state.
• Enter bonus code VIBONUS (or for Friday, VIBONUSMLB) to claim the new-user offer.
• Make your first bet

That's it! You must be 21 years old and like I said, physically located in a BetMGM state. You do not have to live there.

If you're traveling to a new state, you do need to sign up for a new BetMGM account, even if you're already opened another one where you live.
