ESPN BET recently updated its welcome offer so new customers in ESPN BET sports betting states can recoup their first bet up to $1,000. It’s essentially a first bet insurance, or “first bet reset”, that provides bonus bets in case your first bet doesn’t win.
Click below and apply ESPN BET promo code NPNEWS to set up your new account and cover your first bet. Note that ESPN BET is one of the only books that makes you manually enter a promo code during account setup to qualify for the welcome offer.
What sports does ESPN BET offer?
ESPN BET offers all the major sports you’ll find among the top sports betting sites. This time of year, I like to wager on exciting playoff matchups across the NBA and NHL.
You’ll find one NBA matchup on Wednesday night along with two NHL second round matchups. However you choose to bet, any sport qualifies for the ESPN BET $1K offer.
How to unlock the ESPN BET first bet reset
- You can use any modules throughout this piece or this link to find the $1,000 First Bet Reset.
- Create a new ESPN BET account and apply promo code NPNEWS which ESPN requires to qualify for the promo.
- Make a $10 deposit and cash bet on any market or odds to qualify.
You may have seen first bet insurance offers before as they are quite common among sportsbooks. These allow you as a new user to test out plus money odds or anything you prefer and be covered on your first bet.
Meanwhile, it also pays well to hit your first bet. If you win your first bet, it doesn’t earn the bonus but you profit cash winnings just like any other winning wager on the ESPN BET mobile app.
Additionally, the $1,000 number is pretty standard among the industry and allows you to make a big wager. Let’s run through a quick example of how the ESPN BET First Bet Reset works.
I like the NBA matchup between the Pacers and the Knicks. While the Knicks enjoy an incredible home atmosphere, the Pacers were close to stealing Game 1.
Let’s say for the offer I place $200 on the Pacers +154 to take Game 2. Here’s how the promotion would play out.
- Win — I profit $308 and keep my $200 stake. My account balance is now $508 in cash that can be used on other wagers or withdrawn to my bank account
- Miss — ESPN BET would provide a total of $200 in bonus bets to your account that are funds to use within the book
