BetMGM markets World Cup betting incentives as England and Croatia resume fixtures
New users can access bonus bets via CBS Sports code as experts weigh in on England-Ghana and Croatia-Panama outcomes
BetMGM has launched a promotional campaign targeting new users ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, offering up to $1,500 in bonus bets through the promo code CBSSPORTS. The initiative is timed to coincide with Tuesday’s group stage fixtures, specifically highlighting the matches between England and Ghana, as well as Croatia and Panama. The offer provides $150 in bonus bets if a user’s first wager wins, or up to $1,500 if the qualifying bet loses, subject to location-based regulations.
The promotion coincides with a release of betting analysis from SportsLine experts, who have issued specific recommendations for the day’s games. Jon Eimer, a SportsLine soccer expert, has backed England to score over 2.5 goals. Eimer cited England’s high-scoring 4-2 victory over Croatia in their opener, where Harry Kane scored twice, as evidence of their attacking potency despite defensive vulnerabilities.
Conversely, SportsLine expert Martin Green has recommended backing Croatia to score over 1.5 goals against Panama. Green noted that while Croatia suffered a disappointing defeat to England, their forwards appeared sharp during the match. He suggested that Croatia’s attacking line should be capable of scoring multiple goals against Panama’s goalkeeper, Orlando Mosquera.
The betting landscape also features analysis for Portugal’s match against Uzbekistan. SportsLine expert Matt Severance has backed the Under 3.5 total goals for this fixture. Severance pointed to Portugal’s recent low-scoring trends and the performance of 41-year-old striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not scored in his last 10 major tournament games and was described as a non-factor in Portugal’s 1-1 draw with DR Congo.
A hypothetical parlay combining these three expert selections—England Over 2.5, Croatia Over 1.5, and Portugal Under 3.5—is listed at odds of +392. The 2026 World Cup marks the first edition of the tournament hosted across three nations: Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
