This afternoon’s NCAA college football Military Bowl presented by Peraton will pit the Central Florida Knights against the Duke Blue Devils at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland.
To celebrate the return of the Military Bowl (which did not take place last December due to health protocols), BetMGM Sportsbook is awarding new customers with a 20% initial deposit match bonus up to $1000 for patrons to clear in a 30-day window following the first authorized deposit!
BetMGM is known throughout the United States as one of the best sportsbook sites in the country, and the company is offering all SportsHandle readers a 20% first deposit welcome offer upon using the SHNEWSDM bonus code during sign-up!
How to claim your BetMGM Sportsbook Deposit Match Bonus up to $1000
This special introductory promotion is open to all 21+ individuals who are located in one of the states in which BetMGM has launched its online sports betting platform, as long as this is your first time registering for an account with BetMGM Sportsbook. If you have already created an account with BetMGM online from another state, then you are ineligible for this promotion.
First-time BetMGM customers can activate their 20% initial deposit bonus simply by clicking the SHNEWSDM bonus code link, then clicking on (or tapping) the gold REGISTER button that appears.
Upon completing the registration form and providing BetMGM with some personal data for verification purposes, you will then be prompted to make your very first deposit (minimum $10) using one of the authorized payment methods that BetMGM uses within your state.
Once your deposit goes through and appears in your new BetMGM Sportsbook account, the site will add 20% of the amount you funded (up to a maximum of $1000) in BONUS CASH, which you will then have 30 days to play-through ten times (10x) to convert into real money funds.
As an example, if your first deposit amount is $200, then BetMGM will add $40 in BONUS CASH to your account to accompany the $200 you used to fund your account. If the first deposit is for $5,000 (or more than $5k), then you will receive the maximum promotional allotment of $1000 BONUS CASH.
Make a total of $400 in BetMGM BONUS CASH wagers to clear the $40 first deposit match bonus, or a total of $10,000 in BONUS CASH bets (in any and all markets that the mobile sportsbook app has available for customers in your state) to unlock the maximum reward.
All BetMGM Sportsbook BONUS CASH wagers must be made with odds of at least -250 in order to qualify. This means that although you’re welcome to make bets on heavy favorites, those wagers won’t count towards clearing your SHNEWSDM 20% first deposit bonus. Any wager with odds of -250 or longer will qualify.
If you are unable to commit to the 10x bonus amount play-through requirement, then the BONUS CASH will be removed from your account following 30 days after you made your first deposit.
BetMGM Sportsbook currently operates in the following states and is open to customers age 21+ (18+ in Wyoming).

Game info & betting preview: Military Bowl presented by Peraton
Date: Wednesday, December 28th, 2022
Kickoff Time: 2:00pm ET

Host Football Field Site: Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium — Annapolis, Maryland
Military Bowl Matchup: Central Florida Knights (9-4, 6-2 AAC) vs Duke Blue Devils (8-4, 5-3 ACC)
BetMGM Sportsbook Odds: Duke -3.5 (-165), O/U 62.5
BetMGM has Central Florida listed as a 3.5-point underdog
Central Florida won last year’s bowl game against their in-state rival Florida Gators by a score of 29-17. This year, the Knights are once again positioned as underdogs as they take on the Blue Devils out of Durham, North Carolina.
The Knights, who finished the season with a 9-4 record, appeared in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) championship game, but were bested by the Tulane Green Wave, 45-28, on December 3rd to end with a 6-2 conference mark.
This afternoon’s game will mark the first time ever that the University of Central Florida Knights appear in the Military Bowl presented by Peraton, plus this is the first meeting in history between UCF and Duke football.
If the Knights overcome their underdog status and manage to defeat the Duke Blue Devils, they will have recorded their ninth 10-win season in program history.
As a side note, this will be the final game that the Knights play as a member-team of the AAC (the University of Central Florida football team will compete within the Big 12 Conference going forward).
Duke favored to win by -3.5 at BetMGM Sportsbook
The Duke Blue Devils come into today’s contest as slight 3.5-point favorites after pulling off an upset against ACC conference rival Wake Forest on November 26th.
Duke is led by sophomore QB Riley Leonard, who has become the first player in program history to throw 20 TDs while rushing for 10 touchdowns in a single season.
The Blue Devils football team is gearing up to compete in its 15th bowl game since 1939, and has an overall bowl record of 6 wins with 8 losses. However, Duke has won its three most recent bowl games (2015, 2017, 2018).
Head coach Mike Elko completes his first year as the Duke football coach this afternoon in Annapolis. The New Jersey native was a college football defensive coordinator from 2009-2021 with positions at Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, and Bowling Green.
Elko coached alongside current Wake Forest HC Dave Clawson in various roles for 12 consecutive years from 2005-2017.
