Get $1,000 Reset Bonus for MLB on ESPN BET
First-time ESPN BET customers can slide into the MLB Playoffs with a fully-backed first bet. The $1,000 First Bet Reset deploys if a new customer loses their initial cash wager. ESPN BET will cover the damage with up to $1,000 in bonus bets, so a loss just means more chances to win cash later.
ESPN BET delivers five (5) bonus bets worth 20% of the qualifying stake. Let’s say a bettor throws $1,000 on the Mets’ moneyline (115). If the Phillies survive elimination and force a Game 5, ESPN BET would re-pay the $1,000 stake as five (5) $200 bonus bets that expire seven days from issuance.
