BetMGM rolls out up to $1,600 deposit match for Chargers‑Raiders Monday Night Football

BetMGM is promoting a bonus tied to Monday Night Football’s Week 2 matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders, advertising a 20% first‑deposit match up to $1,600 and first‑bet protection with promo code NYPDM1600.

According to the Post, the offer is structured to return a losing first bet in bonus bets — up to $1,600 — while also providing a 20% match on an initial deposit. The bookmaker lists eligibility rules, a 10x playthrough requirement and a number of state restrictions tied to the promotion.

BetMGM’s website and the Post’s summary outline a five‑step sign‑up process for customers who wish to redeem the promotion: select a bonus offer, choose a state of residence, fill out account details, enter promo code NYPDM1600 and make an initial deposit. The advertiser notes that participants must complete wagering requirements and satisfy a 10x playthrough condition before bonus funds become withdrawable.

The offer is available only where BetMGM operates legally. The Post lists those states and jurisdictions as Arizona, Colorado, Washington, D.C., Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. The promotion specifies additional exclusions: the deposit match is unavailable in Illinois, Louisiana, Ohio and Virginia; U.S. promotional offers are not available in Mississippi, New York, Puerto Rico or Ontario, Canada.

Betting promotions carry responsible‑gambling notices. The publisher’s summary includes standard advisories — age limits (21+ in many jurisdictions), a reminder to gamble responsibly and a list of helplines: 1‑800‑GAMBLER; New York assistance at 877‑8‑HOPENY or text HOPENY (467369); Massachusetts at 1‑800‑327‑5050; and other state hotlines such as 1‑800‑NEXT‑STEP (Arizona) and 1‑800‑522‑4700 (Kansas, Nevada). The Post also names Michael Leboff as its betting expert, noting his 10 years of experience in the gambling industry.

The promotion arrives ahead of a divisional matchup that has immediate implications in the AFC West. Both the Chargers and Raiders began the season 1‑0, with Los Angeles opening the year with a notable victory over the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas posting an opening‑week win against New England. The Post’s preview described the Raiders as underdogs opening their home slate on Monday Night Football and framed the game as an early test in the race for the division.

Promotional terms, including playthrough and state availability, vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change; consumers should consult BetMGM’s official terms and conditions for complete details before signing up. The Post’s summary and advertising materials note that participants must meet the wagering requirement and that bonus availability and conditions differ by state. 21+. Gambling problem?
