October is the month for trick or treating, not just for candy but also for big-money sportsbook bonuses. Deals are available across the whole marketplace and what an opportunistic time it is. All the major sports leagues — NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL — are in action right now, and having extra free play goes a long way in capitalizing on the betting opportunities. BetOnline is heavy on bettor-friendly deals, in fact, they’re offering some of the best promotions among major online sportsbooks. Here are several deals that need to be on your radar:
$1000 In Free Play To Spend As You Wish
As we just pointed out, October is the most jam-packed sports month of the year, for American bettors at least. Imagine having a cool grand in free play to spend at will on any sport? Well, that’s not a pipe dream at BetOnline, it’s actually the norm for first-time players who leverage the site’s welcome bonus.
BetOnline is offering a 50-percent match up to $1000 free for a player’s first deposit. So that means if you want the full one grand reward, you must insert $2000 into your account off the bat — so long as you use promo code BOL1000 whilst depositing. The free play earned lasts 30 days before any unused bonus funds expire.
The one downside of this deal is the rollover requirement. This is an industry norm far beyond just BetOnline, but this requirement sets the limit on the money that needs to be wagered before new players can withdraw funds. At BetOnline, the rate is 10X. What this means is whatever you’re account starts off with after the bonus is redeemed, that number has to be gambled ten times before withdrawals are allowed.
As they say, “nothing in life is truly free.” But this shouldn’t stop you from cashing-in BetOnline’s welcome bonus. A 50-percent match is still plenty to build up your betting bankroll in a hurry. Given how many sports betting opportunities there is this month, this is the quickest way to tackle all of them without you having to risk more of your own money.
Limited-Time Crypto Boost Bonus
For the most part, betting offers stay relatively consistent year-round from site to site. You might get a special promotion around “tentpole” events — the Super Bowl or March Madness — but what you see in October is probably what you see in April. This reason is why we had to call out BetOnline’s temporary crypto bonus.
Right now at the site, the bookmaker will give you an extra 10 percent boost on deposits made with a supported cryptocurrency — Bitcoin and Ethereum namely. The boost is counted as a cash bonus, not free play. That means there’s no rollover requirement, a big win.
Keep in mind this boost can be added on top of two different existing crypto bonuses on BetOnline. The first is the crypto-only sign-up bonuses. This deal also maxes out at $1000 like the aforementioned welcome deal, but crypto’s offer is a 100-percent match — not 50 percent. Having that full dollar-for-dollar match is quite the bargain.
Moreover, BetOnline also offers a 35-percent reload bonus on crypto. Combine that with the boost and crypto users can earn as much as 45 percent on re-ups made into their playing account — that’s a massive sum that’s hard to find elsewhere when it comes to reload deals. No matter your opinion on crypto, you can’t argue that it pays to play with at sites like BetOnline.
Free NFL Parlay Contest Pays The Big Bucks
We’re going to be completely upfront and say this BetOnline contest is far from easy. Incredibly uneasy, actually. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile. BetOnline is offering a $100,000 prize to any player that can knock out a 16-game NFL parlay in a single week (bets can not carry over multiple weeks, it’s all or nothing).
Parlays consist of spread and over/under picks — no moneylines, which only adds to the difficulty. Worse, even pushed bets count as a loss to the whole parlay (canceled games are automatic losers too). That’s super harsh, but BetOnline does make up for that with this next rule we’re going to cover.
What ultimately makes the contest worthwhile to bettors is that it’s free. Yes, completely free of cost, which is rare when a contest can dole out $100,000 per week (Bovada will pay out as many or as few winners during the season, not just one perfect picker). The only qualifier is bettors must have placed at least $50 worth of real money wagers over the previous seven days. That’s a reasonable betting amount, especially when the ceiling is 100 grand.
We covered all things promos in relation to BetOnline, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. To get a full lowdown on the betting site, read our latest BetOnline review.
