BetMGM is offering a 20 % match on the first deposit, up to $1, 500, for fans who want to bet on the opening match of the men’s hockey tournament at the Winter Olympics.  

The promo code to claim this is NYPDM1500, and it can be used when signing up on the sportsbook.  

For example, if you put $50 into your account, the system will add $10 in bonus bets. You would then have a week to use those extra funds on any game.  

To reach the maximum $1, 500 bonus, you would need to deposit $7, 500.  

The game itself pits Canada against Czechia on Thursday.  

Canada is a heavy favorite, with odds of –475 to win its group, according to BetMGM.  

The Canadian squad includes three of the NHL’s top four scorers and a total of 1, 060 points from its players this season.  

Czechia, meanwhile, has +600 odds to win Group A and is sending 17 players from its 2024 IIHF gold‑medal team, hoping early chemistry will give them an edge.  

From a tactical view, Canada’s five‑on‑five power is considered elite, with seven players ranked in the top 25 for points per 60 minutes.  

Their depth could test Czechia’s blue line, led by Filip Hronek and Radko Gudas.  

However, the early‑tournament vibe might favor the Czechs, who could play with a sense of unity that Canada’s larger roster may lack.  

BetMGM Sportsbook is legal in many U. S. states, but the deposit match promotion does not apply in Illinois, Louisiana, Ohio and Virginia.  

To sign up, pick your bonus offer, choose your state, enter your login details, add the promo code NYPDM1500 and make a deposit.  

All participants must meet wagering requirements, which include a 10× playthrough rule.  

When betting responsibly, keep in mind that sports betting can be risky.
