Lakers Vs Knicks tip-off set for 3:30 p.m. ET as BetMGM offers TOP1500 bonus
Sunday at 9: 10 a. m. ET, BetMGM pushed a sign-up offer tied to lakers vs knicks ahead of the scheduled 3: 30 p. m. ET tip-off in Los Angeles, California. The timing is driven by the narrow window for new users to create an account and enable location services before the matinee matchup begins.
BetMGM TOP1500 promotion targets Sunday’s lakers vs knicks window
BetMGM’s promotion centers on new users who sign up using the bonus code TOP1500 in time for an “NBA Sunday” slate that includes Knicks vs. Lakers and Spurs vs. Rockets. The company uses location services on a user’s device to determine which welcome package applies, and the offer is framed around getting set before the afternoon start.
For most eligible states, the highlighted package is a $1, 500 first bet offer. Under that structure, a new user can place a first wager in the app up to $1, 500, and if that initial bet settles as a loss, the stake is returned in the form of bonus bets.
Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia get a separate $150 path
BetMGM outlined a different option for users located in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia. In those four states, users can receive $150 in bonus bets tied to a winning wager: place a $10 wager, and if it settles as a win, the user receives $150 in bonus bets in addition to cash winnings.
BetMGM also described that users in those four states can choose between the standard $1, 500 first bet offer and the “Bet $10, Get $150” promotion, positioning it as flexibility for bettors deciding how they want to participate around the Knicks-Lakers matchup.
