Big Holiday Betting Deals
If you love a good promo, the holiday season is packed with them. BetMGM rolled out the ROTOBG150 code, giving new players a $150 boost for betting on UFC 316 and the Yankees vs. Red Sox game. It’s a simple way to add extra cash to your first wager.
Betika’s Midweek Jackpot also got festive. On July 12, 2025, they offered a KES 15 million prize pool for picking the right results in 15 football games. The tips were based on recent form and stats, so even casual fans had a chance to win.
And don’t forget the South African Lotto. The Wednesday draw on 26 February 2025 left a R10.09 million jackpot untouched, but the numbers are out and anyone holding a ticket can check if they’re the lucky winner.
Must‑Watch Sports Moments
While the bonuses were tempting, the sports action itself was unforgettable. Palmeiras clinched a 1‑0 win over Grêmio at Allianz Parque, marking their third straight victory in the Brasileirão. Facundo Torres scored the lone goal and the win pushed Palmeiras closer to the top of the table.
In the U.S., Minnesota United rallied from a deficit to beat St. Louis City 3‑2 in the Open Cup, sending them to the quarter‑finals. Anthony Markanich’s late heroics showed why cup matches are so exciting.
European fans got a thrill when Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s teenage prodigy, broke records with a brace in a 3‑3 draw against Granada. He became the youngest player to score a brace and to net in three consecutive away games – a clear sign that the future of football is already here.
On the boxing front, Dmitry Bivol reclaimed his undisputed light‑heavyweight titles by out‑pointing Artur Beterbiev in a dramatic rematch in Riyadh. The fight went the distance and proved Bivol’s stamina and strategy were just what he needed to get the win back.
