What the BetMGM bonus is really worth
The BetMGM offer — First bet up to $1,500 back if it loses — is advertised as $1,500, but it's really worth about $36 (only pays if your first bet loses; value scales with how much you risk).
The catch
Refund as bonus bets only if your first bet loses — you only see the big number if you bet big AND lose. Above $50 the refund arrives as five bonus bets of 20% each, not one lump sum.
