buzzer beater bonus

March college basketball is defined by unpredictability, drama, and unforgettable finishes – and this year, Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook is giving players even more reason to stay locked in until the final horn.

Introducing the Buzzer Beater Bonus, a promotion built around one of the most electric moments in college basketball.

From March 15 through April 6, eligible players who opt in can place a $5 or more pregame bet on any NCAA Men’s Basketball moneyline or spread. If the team you bet on wins on a true buzzer beater, you’ll score a $25 Bonus Bet.

That means every possession late in the game carries a little extra weight – especially when the clock is winding down.

Breaking down the Buzzer Beater Bonus

Buzzer beaters are what define March. They’re the moments that flip brackets, create instant legends, and keep fans glued to every second of action.

The Buzzer Beater Bonus is simple:

  • First, you have to opt-in. Players only need to opt-in once throughout the duration of the promotion.
  • Pick your bet (moneyline or spread on any NCAAM game)
  • Place a $5+ bet before the game
  • If the team you bet on wins it at the buzzer, you’ve got a $25 Bonus Bet headed your way.

No complicated mechanics – just a focus on the most thrilling outcome in basketball.

What counts as a Buzzer Beater?

For the Buzzer Beater Bonus promotion we’ve defined a ‘Buzzer Beater’ as follows:

A shot made in the last moment of the game (2nd half or OT), resulting in victory for the shooter’s team. The ball must leave the shooter’s hands before the buzzer sounds, but it can pass through the hoop after time has expired. The clock is at 00:00 after the ball passes through the hoop. Confirmed via official NCAA gamebook.
