BetMGM is offering new users a $150 bonus bet when they use promo code CBSSPORTS on select Saturday games. [1]
The promotion matters because sportsbooks are vying for a share of the growing U.S. betting market, and generous bonuses are a primary tool to lure first‑time bettors. [1]
According to the CBS Sports article, the offer applies to three matchups: the New York Knicks versus the Atlanta Hawks, the Los Angeles Lakers versus the Houston Rockets, and the Los Angeles Angels versus the San Diego Padres. [1] The MLB game is scheduled to start at 9:38 p.m. ET. [2] Bettors who enter the code CBSSPORTS during registration receive the $150 in bonus bets, which can be used on any of the listed contests.
However, a second CBS Sports piece lists different pairings—Warriors‑Rockets and Cardinals‑Tigers on Sunday, while a third article mentions a Stars‑Wild (NHL) game alongside the Lakers‑Rockets. [1] The inconsistency suggests the promotion’s exact lineup may vary by market or has been updated without uniform reporting. [1]
BetMGM’s marketing team said the bonus is intended to introduce new customers to its sportsbook platform and encourage ongoing wagering activity. [1] The company typically requires a minimum deposit and a wagering requirement before bonus bets can be withdrawn, standard terms for such offers.
What this means: The $150 bonus bet can lower the cost of entry for casual fans who want to try sports betting on high‑profile NBA and MLB games. At the same time, the conflicting reports highlight the need for bettors to verify the current terms on BetMGM’s official site before placing wagers.

The bonus reduces the financial barrier for newcomers, potentially expanding BetMGM’s user base, while the lack of consistent reporting underscores the importance of checking the latest official terms before betting.
