Nothing says summertime in America like Cubbies baseball. And for the first time, baseball fans in Illinois will be able to legally bet on them — and from the comfort of their own home, to boot!
To get up to $250 free:
- Click this link
- Enter the promo code 250MATCH while registering
This will instantly match your deposit up to 100%, up to $250. So if you deposit $250, you'll have an extra $250 in free bets to instantly wager on whatever you choose.
These free bets are subject to just a 1x rollover, which means you could make 10 $25 bets on Cubs games and your rollover work would already be done. Even if you managed to lose $100 in the process, your account would have $400 of withdrawable cash — $150 more than where you started.
With both the Cubs and White Sox expected to be playoff contenders, there's not a better time for online betting to be legal in Illinois. It's time to get started.
