What is the BetRivers Illinois Promo?

The BetRivers IL promo features one of the most popular types of Illinois sports betting promos. If the first bet you place settles as a loss, BetRivers will match your wager as a bonus bet, up to $500. This welcome offer is perfect for both new and experienced sports bettors.

How Does the BetRivers Illinois Promo Compare to Other Sportsbook Bonuses?

When evaluating different sportsbooks, it's beneficial to compare their welcome offers. Here's how the BetRivers Illinois bonus stacks up against its competition.

BetRivers Illinois Promo vs. BetMGM

The BetMGM Illinois promo is also a second-chance bet offer but has a much higher max value at $1,500. For the overwhelming majority of bettors, the $500 value at BetRivers will be more than enough. A first bet bonus worth up to $1,500 sounds great, but that means you'd have to deposit and wager up to $1,500 to take full advantage.

BetRivers Illinois Bonus vs. Fanatics

The Fanatics Sportsbook Illinois promo has a lower value than BetRivers, but gives you bonus bets regardless of whether your first bet wins or loses. After signing up, you can take advantage of a Bet $10, Get $50 in bonus bets offer across five straight days for up to $250 in bet credits.
