BetMGM's Minimum Deposit for the Full $1,000 Match

To get the full $1,000 match at BetMGM Casino in New Jersey, your first deposit has to be $1,000. Any smaller deposit is matched dollar for dollar, so $200 gets you a $200 bonus. The match starts at a $10 deposit. Before you choose an amount, know that the deposit also sets your wagering: 15x the bonus. Pick the deposit you can actually clear, not the biggest one on offer. The whole thing takes about ten minutes.

1. Register while you are in New Jersey. Once it has worked, you have an open account and no balance. Pokerfuse and DeucesCracked both say the base offer needs no promo code. Affiliate sites list their own codes, and they don't agree with each other.
2. Claim the $25 on-the-house credit. This is separate from the match and needs no deposit. RotoWire says you claim it manually and it expires after 3 days if you don't use it.
3. Choose your deposit amount from the table below. Work out the wagering before you pick, not after.
4. Make the qualifying first deposit within 30 days of registering. When it has worked, your cash balance shows the amount you deposited.
5. Check that your bonus balance matches your deposit. A $300 deposit should show $300 in bonus. A $1,000 or larger deposit should show $1,000. If the number is wrong, see the next section before you place a bet.

BetMGM doesn't publish set tiers. The match is a straight 100% up to the cap, so every amount between $10 and $1,000 works the same way. The rows above are sample points. They come from the dollar-for-dollar rule Pokerfuse describes and its own example of a $100 bonus needing $1,500 in wagering. We didn't check this against BetMGM's own terms page. Every figure here comes from third-party reviews dated July to October 2026.

Only slots and jackpot slots clear the bonus at the 15x rate. Table games count for much less, so the games that count toward wagering decide whether the bigger deposit is realistic for you. If you won't wager $15,000 on slots in 14 days, the full $1,000 is the wrong deposit for you. A $200 or $300 deposit gives you a bonus you can actually clear.

Once your bonus is credited, you know exactly how much you have to wager and how long you have to do it. What comes next is whether that wagering is worth it: what clearing 15x costs you, and what happens if you play a game that doesn't count.
