Kentucky BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS: How to get a $1,500 first-bet bonus for Louisville vs. N.C. State

Louisville enters Friday’s contest with a 4-0 record, facing a 3-1 N.C. State, and today is the second day Kentuckians can back their team, or any team, with BetMGM.

Using BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS, you can sign up and claim the $1,500 first-bet welcome bonus, which provides a 100% refund via bonus credit on an unsuccessful opening bet.

Here’s how to claim your $1,500 first-bet bonus:

• Click on our Kentucky BetMGM bonus code link and then click Register.
• Fill in the required fields, including code ALBONUS. The code will automatically apply if you use our link.
• Deposit at least $10 into your account.
• Bet a minimum of $10 on any game or market, including Week 4 of the NFL.

The welcome bonus only triggers if your opening wager is unsuccessful. If you win your opening bet, you’ll receive the winnings associated with the odds.

If the bet misses, you’ll receive one or five bonus bets equaling your stake. A losing opening bet of $49 or less facilitates a single bonus bet matching the stake. If you bet $50 or more and it misses, you’ll receive five equal bonus bets matching the stake.

Louisville visits N.C. State as slight favorites. The 4-0 Cardinals have their dynamic, explosive offense to thank for its unblemished record.

You can use your BetMGM welcome bonus on this game or any other contest. In addition, you can make the most of the sportsbook’s ongoing offers.

BetMGM’s offers include:

• Odds boosts: Find improved odds on select markets.
