As the Detroit Pistons take a break from the NBA postseason, there is no one more fitting than the legendary sharpshooter Steph Curry to create an exciting sports betting promotion to kickstart the playoffs in Michigan.
Tonight, BetMGM Sportsbook is focusing on the featured play-in game at 10 p.m., which showcases the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. Here are some key details about the bonus opportunity.
Golden State Warriors bet = 3-point bonus
The idea behind BetMGM is quite straightforward. To begin, just make a bet of $25 or higher on any upcoming Golden State Warriors game. You have the freedom to place the bet on either team.
For each 3-pointer scored by Curry, who holds the second-highest record for triples with over 2,800, $2 will be added to a reserved free bet. The maximum amount that can be accumulated for later use is $50, equivalent to 25 successful 3-point shots.
To take part in the promo, users are required to opt in, with the possibility to redeem it until June 22, provided that the Warriors continue playing until then. Following that, the Warriors will have a minimum of two games left.
- The Los Angeles Lakers game is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.
- If Golden State loses on Wednesday, the game against Memphis/San Antonio will be scheduled on Friday. The time is yet to be determined.
- In the event of Golden State’s victory on Wednesday, they will face the Phoenix Suns in the first round series.
The first round of the playoffs awarded automatic births to the top six seeds. However, the Warriors, who finished in eighth place, were required to play a play-in game against the seventh-place Lakers on the road. If they lose, the Warriors still have a chance to secure the No. 8 spot by playing a home game.
Furthermore, Curry has been absolutely unstoppable in the final stretch, achieving a remarkable feat of scoring 30 or more points in 20 out of 23 games starting from April 1. Additionally, he has successfully sunk six or more 3-pointers in 13 games during that period. These extraordinary performances have significantly boosted his chances of winning the league MVP title, despite Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets emerging as the clear favorite with overwhelming odds of -2000 in most sportsbooks.
BetMGM boost comes in quiet sports betting period
In March, BetMGM’s sportsbook property in Michigan had a remarkable performance. During the NCAA Tournament month, it secured the second position in terms of online handle, with approximately $92.6 million. Moreover, it emerged as the leader in the gross revenue race, surpassing $9.5 million.
Among Michigan operators, BetMGM ranked third in handle for the month of April, with $54.9 million and a market share of 22.0%.
In addition, the company’s online casino division has maintained the top position since its launch in late January. When combined with a growing poker platform, a specific promotion like the Steph Curry betting promo will have minimal impact on the potential increase in revenue in the future.
As the historically quiet summer months approach, smaller and more targeted bonuses like the “Chef Curry” campaign may become increasingly common in the Michigan sports betting scene.
