Bet365 launched in Indiana on Jan. 31, 2024, joining the Hoosier State’s impressive roster of sportsbooks.
To celebrate the launch, the sportsbook, which is run in partnership with French Lick Resort, is offering new users in Indiana the chance to choose between two valuable promotions.
Read below for more information on the Bet365 Sportsbook promo code.
What Offers Are Available?
New users in Indiana looking to sign up for Bet365 who download the app and use the code FORBES will be able to choose between two offers when they make their first bet with the sportsbook.
One option is getting your first bet back (up to $1,000) as a bonus bet, while the other option is getting $200 in bonus bets after placing a $5 wager.
To qualify for either offer, enter the code during registration and deposit at least $10. Your bonus will depend on which welcome offer you claim within 30 days of registering. This promotion is only available to new users who have never signed up with Bet365 before.
If you choose the “First Bet Safety Net” option, you can place a first wager of any amount. If it loses, Bet365 will give you a bonus bet equal to that amount up to $1,000, giving you a second chance to win a different wager.
If you choose the “Bet and Get” option, place a bet of at least $5 on any market with minimum -500 odds. Bet365 will add $200 in bonus bets to your account when your wager settles, regardless of whether it wins or loses.
If it hits, you’ll also receive your winnings in cash. Bonus bets aren’t withdrawable and can only be used with Bet365.

How to Bet on Bet365
Betting on Bet365 is simple. In the app, find the sport and bet you wish to wager on through the homepage and select the bet you wish to choose.
Once you do, the bet you’ve selected will show up on your bet slip at the bottom of the screen. From there, you’ll be able to enter the amount of money you wish to bet then click submit.
Bet365 offers an abundance of betting options, ranging from more traditional American sports to some more obscure international sports.
Bet365 users in Indiana can use the sportsbook to bet on professional sports — with special bets based around the hometown Pacers and Colts — along with college football and basketball bets.
Bet365 will also have promos built around the University of Indiana, Notre Dame and Butler.
The sportsbook features an easy-to-use interface that offers an abundance of daily promotions and odds boosts, whether you’re betting on the spread, moneyline or Over/Under.
Users will also be able to select multiple bets in one to create a parlay. This gives low-stakes bettors a chance to risk a small sum to potentially score a large payout. However, parlays have a low chance of winning compared to a straight bet.
You must be at least 21 years old and physically located in Indiana to use Bet365 in the state.
What is Bet365?
A British-based betting company launched in 2000, Bet365 is now active in 11 sports betting states in the U.S. as it continues to expand its footprint.
While it doesn’t have the domestic brand recognition of DraftKings or FanDuel, it’s continued to grow its presence and is a high-quality sportsbook that values substance over style. It was operational overseas for nearly two decades before coming to America in 2019 and has over 90 million customers worldwide.
How We Evaluate Betting Promotions
While we don’t have a formal rating for sports betting promotional offers, we only write about consumer-friendly signup offers regarding the following criteria.
- Size of offer: Sports betting signup bonuses range from $100 to $1,500. The size is important, but it depends on the type of the offer. Regardless of size, a sports betting signup offer can give you some cushion for your first betting experience. Remember, these offers are one-time deals.
- Offer format: Most sportsbooks offer a so-called “bet & get” offer, where if you make a wager, you will receive so-called bonus bets. These wagers are in the form of site credit. Sometimes, your bet must win to claim the site credit. Other sportsbooks will offer a so-called free bet where you can get a refund in the form of site credit if your first wager loses. Both have their advantages.
- Time to receive site credit: It’s better if you receive your site credit immediately rather than having to wait 2-3 days. This can be relevant to your betting experience. However, all sportsbooks issue site credits in a timely manner.
- Odds requirement: It’s always better if the promotion doesn’t stipulate a minimum or maximum odds for your qualifying wager.
Some sportsbook signup offers are slightly better than others, but you can claim one new user offer at each sportsbook. You should claim each site’s offer if you want to try out multiple sports betting sites.
