ESPN BET promo code WRAL: Score $1k reset bonus for Tigers-Braves

Wednesday's MLB slate opens with a must-watch showdown between the Tigers and Braves. Atlanta's 2-1 victories on Monday and Tuesday might be a preview of what to expect today, especially with both teams sending high-quality pitchers to the mound.

Tarik Skubal will start for Detroit. The Cy Young contender is 8-2 with a 2.20 ERA, which ranks fourth among qualified starters in the American League. Meanwhile, Atlanta will counter with Reynaldo Lopez. While he's just below the innings threshold, Lopez sports an amazing 1.69 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in his first season with the Braves.

New customers who register here and enter the ESPN BET promo code WRAL qualify for a $1,000 First Bet Reset. Place up to $1,000 on today's game, and ESPN BET will refund a qualifying loss with bonus bets. This way, a losing stake won't leave you empty-handed for the rest of the week.

Tigers-Braves Betting Preview

This series has been exceptional for fans of elite pitching. Atlanta took Game 1 on Monday 2-1 after Ozzie Albies hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning. Then, on Tuesday, rookie Spencer Schwellenbach delivered six innings of one-run ball to earn his first MLB win in the Braves' 2-1 effort. Today, two of MLB's best starters will battle at Truist Park.

ESPN BET has the line set at 7.5 runs, with the under coming in at -125. For the game itself, the Braves are -140 moneyline favorites. Atlanta hasn't had a series sweep since a two-game sweep of the Red Sox from May 7-8. Meanwhile, the Tigers (+120) haven't been on the losing end of a sweep since May 20-22 at the Royals.

Responsible Gaming Measures for North Carolina

With legal online sports betting taking off in several states, including North Carolina, concerns about responsible gaming have understandably spread as well. While apps such as ESPN BET are meant to be fun and supplementary to the experience of being a sports fans, using such platforms comes with an inherent financial risk, overuse and, in some cases, addiction.

As a response, both states and sportsbook operators have put measures in place to navigate potential pitfalls.

North Carolina has created the N.C. Problem Gambling Program to, as noted in its mission statement, provide effective problem gambling prevention, education, outreach and treatment and recovery services.

A proactive approach to responsible gaming is best, and North Carolina residents have a number of resources readily available to them should they need assistance. The following resources are available, quite literally, around the clock seven days a week.

Identifying potential issues with responsible gaming are key, so it’s important to be aware of the warning signs, which include:

• Feeling compelled to bet larger sums of money
• Lying about gambling frequency and wager amounts
• Failed efforts to reduce gambling, by either frequency or wagering amounts
• Escaping emotion or physical pain
• Chasing losses
• The deterioration of personal relationships

Many states, including North Carolina, offer a high-level voluntary self-exclusion program to those who wish to self-ban app use across the board. The NC State Lottery Commission has set up a program that allows players to opt-in and set an exclusion timeframe. Choices include one year, three years, five years and a lifetime exclusion.
