BetMGM Bonus Code FOXNEWS: $1,500 Bet-Back Offer, Explained

BetMGM is advertising up to $1,500 in bonus bets back if a bettor's first wager loses this weekend, tied to the promo code FOXNEWS, according to an Oct. 2, 2026 posting on Fox News's OutKick sports betting page. The offer is positioned around a busy slate: the MLB Division Series, NFL Week 4, NHL regular-season games, and college football, per the same listing.

The page carries a standard affiliate disclosure, noting it "may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners" and that Fox News "may be compensated" if a reader signs up or wagers, and that the content "was created by a team that works independently from the Fox newsroom," per OutKick.

How much can bettors get back under BetMGM's FOXNEWS code this weekend?

The headline figure on OutKick's Oct. 2 page is $1,500 in bonus bets returned if a qualifying first bet loses, using code FOXNEWS. The posted text does not specify, in the material reviewed, a required minimum stake size tied to that $1,500 ceiling, only that the protection applies to a first bet placed this weekend, per OutKick.

Which leagues and games does the offer cover?

OutKick's roundup ties the promo window to four concurrent calendars: MLB's Division Series, NFL Week 4 — which the page references alongside a Dallas Cowboys-Washington Commanders photo from a prior Week 3 matchup — NHL games, and college football, including a listed betting angle on Penn State at Northwestern. The page does not name a single anchor game for the BetMGM offer itself; it frames the $1,500 protection as usable across "a variety of leagues" active this weekend, per OutKick.

Why do OutKick's own listings show two different numbers for code FOXNEWS?

OutKick's related-articles module, published on the same page, lists a second item under a nearly identical title: "BetMGM Bonus Code FOXNEWS: Bet $10, Get $150 on NHL, MLB Playoffs and Football This Weekend." That figure implies a 15-to-1 ratio on a $10 stake, a different structure than the $1,500 bet-back offer in the main headline. OutKick's page does not reconcile the two numbers in the text reviewed, so it is not clear from the source whether these describe the same promotion at different points in the week, two separate BetMGM offers running in parallel, or an updated figure that superseded an earlier one. Bettors comparing the two should treat them as conflicting until BetMGM's own terms page confirms which applies at the time of signup.

How does the $1,500 offer compare with other FOXNEWS-coded promos this week?

The same OutKick page lists several other sportsbook offers running under Fox-affiliated codes this week, giving a rough sense of where BetMGM's number sits in the market. Fanatics Sportsbook's FOXNEWS350 code offers bet $20, get $350 — a 17.5-to-1 payout ratio — across multiple matchups including Ducks-Golden Knights, Rangers-Red Wings, and Hurricanes-Capitals, per OutKick. Underdog's FOXNEWS code offers play $5, get $100, a 20-to-1 ratio, for NHL games and the Steelers-Browns Thursday night matchup. Dabble's FOXNEWS code offers play $5, get $50, a 10-to-1 ratio. Betr's FOXNEWS code offers a flat $200 bonus tied to a chosen game, and Bet365's code offers $200 "win or lose" on Thursday Night Football. Caesars' FOXNEWSDYW code uses a different mechanic entirely — 10 profit boosts at 100% each — rather than a stake-to-bonus ratio. None of these figures comes with a disclosed maximum stake in the OutKick text beyond what is quoted above, so ratio comparisons describe advertised ceilings, not guaranteed payouts.

Where can bettors confirm the exact terms before wagering?

OutKick's page directs bettors to the BetMGM signup flow itself to apply code FOXNEWS, consistent with standard practice for first-bet-protection promotions: terms such as odds minimums, wagering deadlines, and state eligibility typically live on the sportsbook's own promotions page rather than in a news roundup. Given the discrepancy between the $1,500 and $10-get-$150 figures both tied to the same code on the same OutKick page, confirming the live offer on BetMGM's site before placing a first bet is the only way to know which version — if either — is still active. The full OutKick posting, including its affiliate disclosure, is available at the originating Fox News story.
