The NBA regular season is heating up as we hit the stretch run. TNT’s Thursday slate provides some quality matchups for bettors with the Philadelphia 76ers vs. Dallas Mavericks and later, the LA Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors.

The Mavs made a huge addition with Kyrie Irving; however, Luka Doncic and Kyrie have had issues clicking together and are 1-4 in the last five games they’ve played together. Dallas is 1-3 in their last four home games, too.

As expected, the Warriors have turned it on in recent weeks and have climbed all the way to the No. 5 seed. In a wide-open Western Conference, the Clippers vs. Warriors matchup is crucial for a top-six seed to stay out of the play-in games.

More about the BetMGM offer

Now that you’ve placed your wager with BetMGM, what happens next? Let’s go through the details of the offer.

BetMGM ranks close to the top of our list for top sports betting sites with its first bet offer. Customers can get up to $1,000 paid back in bonus bets if their first bet doesn’t win.

If your first bet hits, you now have the cash winnings and the stake in your account for either withdrawal or use on another wager. If it misses, BetMGM will deposit the bonus bets directly to you.

If your wager was under $50, BetMGM will deposit the bonus bets in one payment, typically within 24 hours. If the bet was over $50 up to $1,000, BetMGM will send five payments of bonus bets each worth 20 percent of the stake.

Make sure you use your bonus bets within seven days of receipt into your account before they expire!

Users must be 21+ and reside in a BetMGM state or district, besides New York and Washington D.C., to qualify. Check out our guide to sports betting states to see if you are eligible for the bonus code offer.

Preview the best way to utilize the bonus code offer with an example wager on the NBA’s TNT Thursday lineup.

NBA TNT Thursday

Let’s use some examples from Thursday’s NBA slate to show you how this offer will work.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Dallas Mavericks

The markets seem to still be adjusting to the new-look Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs haven’t played well at home and Luka and Kyrie are still adjusting to playing together — both are extremely ball-centric.

Let’s say you grab the 76ers moneyline at +150 with your first bet on the platform. The 76ers are simply the better team at this point in time in the season and the Mavericks have some offensive adjustments to consider.

You deposit $100, and put it all on Philly to beat Dallas:

• If the Sixers win, you profit $150 ($100 x 1.5) and you keep your initial $100 bet. That’s now $250 in your account you can withdraw or continue betting.
• If the Sixers lose, you get $100 back in bonus bets.

Using Bonus Bets

If the Sixers do lose, it’s not guaranteed your bonus bets will be in your account in time for the Clippers vs. Warriors game, which tips at 10 p.m. ET. But for the sake of this example, we’ll say the Sixers game ends on time and the bonus bets do hit your account in time.

While the Warriors are trending upward, there will be some injury concerns in the lineup Thursday night. The Warriors will have a similar lineup to their last meeting with the Clippers — a 134-124 loss.

Let’s say you take your $100 in bonus bets and put it on the Clippers to cover -3.5 at -110.

• If the Clippers cover, you’ll profit about $91, but you don’t keep the $100 in bonus bets. So you’ll have $91 in cash in your account off a $100 deposit, good for a net loss of $9.
• If the Clippers don’t cover, your bonus bets go away and you’ll be left with nothing.

BetMGM will return your bonus bets in different increments — if you lose $100 on your first wager, you’ll get back five, $20 bonus bets. If you lose $200, you’ll get back four, $50 bets.
