Often compared to the DraftKings Sportsbook - the other big US betting site that started with fantasy sports - we think that the FanDuel Sportsbook is slightly better because they have one of the best betting apps on the market, plenty of daily promos and boosts, and a ton of betting options, many of which are eligible for same game parlays and cash out. Overall, FanDuel is certainly one of the biggest and best foreign-owned betting sites in the USA.

The FanDuel Online Sportsbook & App are legal in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Starting as one of the premier Daily Fantasy Sports sites, FanDuel Sportsbook now offers one of the most popular betting sites in the country, and it's easy to understand why. The FanDuel mobile app is easily one of the best on the market, with a clean interface, fast loading, and great navigation.

If you're looking to wager on US sports like football, FanDuel is a great choice, and you'll frequently find some of the better odds on this sportsbook. Even though we'd like to see some deeper global markets, there is a ton of choice with FanDuel.

Betting features is another area FanDuel shines - they have great same game parlays, parlay insurance, cash out options, and more. There are a ton of ways to deposit and withdraw, including Venmo.

✅ Incredible mobile app

✅ Tons of promotions

✅ Pioneered the Same Game Parlay

❌ Not many live streaming options

Bonus & Promotions

Welcome Bonus

FanDuel Sportsbook's flagship offer is a No Sweat First Bet, which refunds players the amount of their first wager if it settles as a loss.
FanDuel occasionally promotes a different welcome offer we actually think is better - a Bet $5 Get $150 in bonus bets. This is an awesome bet-to-bonus ratio and is perfect for getting started with the betting site since winnings from bonus bets can be withdrawn right away.

Existing User Promotions

FanDuel has a number of betting promotions for its users, ranging from parlay insurance to some of the most generous profit boosts in the US. Around big events FD really ramps up the promos so there will almost always be something to take advantage of.

Betting Features

FanDuel evolved from a Daily Fantasy Sports platform, and has pioneered some of the most popular betting features in the world (the SGP).

Odds & Market Depth

Odds from FanDuel are quite good and are on par with other leading brands.
Market depth is an area in which FanDuel Sportsbooks excels, as they feature tons of global leagues and many smaller sports.

Parlays: FanDuel pioneered the Same Game Parlay, so it makes sense we think they're the best parlay betting site in the country.
✅ Multi Sport Parlays
✅ Same Game Parlays: Football, Basketball, Hockey, Baseball, Soccer
✅ Same Game Parlay + (Super Parlays)
✅ Quick parlays
✅ Live parlays

Payments

FanDuel has some of the most useful banking options, and has several different e-wallets players can use, which help deliver quick withdrawals with no fees.

No minimum withdrawals

Usability: FanDuel Sportsbook is our top pick for mobile betting app because it is extremely well organized and has quite a few nice features that make using it on a phone pleasant. Both the iOS and Android versions take advantage of quick and secure logins, and it's very easy to use the search bar to find specific types of wagers, sports, and leagues.

If you’re aware of online gambling in the US, there’s a good chance you know all about DraftKings. The DraftKings Sportsbook is one of many aspects of the brand that makes it so popular. It is the biggest fantasy sports operator in the states, and there is also a fully-stocked casino section on the site, making DraftKings arguably the best overall betting site in the US. The DraftKings Sportsbook launched in 2018.

The DraftKings Online Sportsbook & App are legal in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

DraftKings has been around for a long time, as a DFS site and one of the first betting sites to launch in 2018. DK is the most widely available betting site in the US and offers users one of the deepest selections of betting markets you can find.

DraftKings is the most widely available betting site in the US, so if you live in a state that allows online sports betting you are almost certain to find DraftKings as an option.

Recently DraftKings Sportsbook launched Micro Betting, fully featuring this unique type of wagering on several sports. Alongside this, you'll be treated to a ton of promotions, boosts, and offers when wagering.

✅ Deep betting markets

✅ Frequent boosts and bonuses

✅ Excellent functionality in the app

❌ High turnover for some promos

Bonus & Promotions

Welcome Offer

DraftKings has a great welcome offer, with one of the best 'bet-to-bonus' ratios you can find. It's very easy to claim and winnings from wagers placed with bonus bets are immediately withdrawable, so no need to worry about a high turnover.

Existing User Promotions

While DraftKings excels at offering odds boosts (called odds surges) on a daily basis, they don't offer many other promotions regularly. You can certainly find some parlay promos, but compared to Caesars or BetMGM this isn't the strongest selling point of DK Sportsbook.

Betting Features

DraftKings Sportsbook has just about every possible betting feature you can find in the US.

Odds & Market Depth

The DraftKings odds are very competitive and are updated very quickly when you use the sportsbook.
DraftKings has some of the deeper global betting markets, even for more niche sports like darts. Additionally, the big pool of player prop bets and futures markets are big standout points for DK.

Parlays: While it's not the best parlay betting sites in the US, DraftKings is certainly in the top ten and even has the occasional parlay boost promo to help improve the already multiplied odds.
✅ Multi Sport Parlays
✅ Same Game Parlays: NBA, NFL, MLB, Soccer
✅ Same Game Parlay + (SGPx)
❌ Live Parlays

Payments

DraftKings Sportsbook allows for depositing and withdrawing funds through a wide variety of methods, including PayPal and Venmo. Withdrawals can be very quick (same day), but tend to be around 24-48 hours for cards and bank transfers.

$1 minimum withdrawal

Usability: DraftKings Sportsbook has been around for a while, and is the most widely available betting site in the US. It shares a wallet with the DFS, which is great for players who like fantasy sports as well, and offers a sleek navigation and well laid out betslip.
Both the iOS and Android versions are built from the ground up, so they run smoothly on most devices.

Widely considered one of the best sportsbooks on the planet, Bet365 has brought its offering to the US. Bet365 brings with it the best overall selection of sports betting that you’ll find anywhere. The parlay builder, Asian lines, and live betting offering are among the main features that attract users all over the world to Bet365.

The Bet365 Online Sportsbook & App are legal in New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado.

Bet365 is the most popular betting site in the world, and has brought this global pedigree and quality to the States.

Easily the top betting site for live betting and live streaming, Bet365 really focuses on variety and giving players what they want for choices. They have a huge selection of markets from just about every imaginable sport, and have stripped back their design to make it very clear what they are about - sports betting.

Alongside the solid welcome bonus, users will be treated to a number of ways to get bonus bets, but also consistent offers on early payouts if your chosen team is up. All in all, Bet365 is excellent, we just wish it was available in more states.

✅ Live betting and Live streaming

✅ Awesome welcome bonus

✅ Many betting features like cash out

❌ Limited availability

Available in: CO, NJ, OH, VA, IA, KY

Bonus & Promotions

Welcome Bonus

Bet365 has (in our opinion) the best welcome offer(s) in the US. The bet-to-bonus ratio is great for their first option, and you don't even need to win your wager to claim the $150 in bonus bets. The other option is a first bet safety net up to $1,000 that refunds your initial bet loss up to this amount.

Existing User Promotions

Existing user promos are hit or miss with Bet365, depending entirely on how you like betting. Bet365 is the only betting site that has permanent Early Payout offers if the team you back goes up by a certain amount (NFL, NBA, NCAAB, NHL, Soccer), as well as daily odds boosts on select events. But that's really it - you won't find too many other promotions.

Betting Features

Bet365 is the biggest global betting site, and has been around for a long time - so no need to worry about key betting feature being missing.

Odds & Market Depth

The odds on Bet365 are as good as you can expect. They have built a strong reputation as market leaders and have maintained this in the US with a low vig and generally having some of the more favorable odds, especially on nice sports.
You can't beat Bet365 when it comes to market depth. If you can think of a sport or league you can almost certainly fond it on Bet365 which is great. Having so much choice can be a bit overwhelming for a beginner, but once you get used to the layout it's great to have so much choice.

Parlays: Bet365 is quietly a very good parlay betting site, and offer the most options for SGP betting, even if there aren't many markets to choose from for some of the less popular sports. The lack of a SGP+ tool is a unfortunate, but we expect this to be added soon.
✅ Multi Sport Parlays
✅ Same Game Parlays: Football, Basketball, Hockey, Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, Rugby, Aussie Rules, Boxing
✅ Quick parlays, bet builder
❌ SGP+

Payments

We've got no real complaints with bet365 when it comes to payments, they are processed quickly, but there are just not quite as many choices for banking as other top tier betting sites.

$10 Deposit and Withdrawal minimum

Usability: Bet365 is a pretty easy to use betting site and mobile app, in part due to the very basic, spreadsheet like design that keeps it very focused on the betting rather than having pretty aesthetics. Once you get used to the dull, grey color, the app is well optimized for both iOS and Android, with simple nav menu and clear layouts for the betslip and markets choices.

BetRivers is powered by Kambi (same as Unibet & 888sport) meaning there's plenty of betting options and good odds. Despite this, BetRivers also has much room for improvement. The BetRivers sportsbook is crowded, hard to navigate and the BetRivers app is slow and clunky. Still, with a decent sign up bonus, live streaming, sports tips and predictions, and a solid online casino, BetRivers is a nice addition to your online betting site portfolio.

The BetRivers Sportsbook & App are legal in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia & West Virginia.

The online sports betting offshoot of the iconic Rivers Casino, BetRivers (branded PlaySugarHouse in CT) has a ton of great features packed into the betting site, and really in-depth stats and predictions.

Not only does BetRivers have the best NHL live streaming, but there are always new promotions to snag, ranging from bonus bets to parlay boosts. BetRivers has a great selection of smaller sports as well, so you're never really without something to bet on that is currently happening.

The main thing that lets BetRivers down is the cluttered feel of the sportsbook. There is a lot going on in the betting app, and navigation can be a bit frustrating at times.

✅ Lots of smaller sports markets

✅ Many daily promos

✅ NHL Live Streaming

❌ Cluttered interface

Available in: AZ, CO, CT, IL, IA, LA, MI, NJ, NY, OH, PA, VA, WV

Bonus & Promotions

Welcome Bonus

BetRivers has a solid welcome bonus, but it's nothing spectacular since the value isn't incredibly high and players only see the bonus bets if their first wager loses. That being said, it's certainly a great offer to get started with BetRivers, and adds a level of security of your initial bet.

Existing User Promotions

The regular promotions you can claim from BetRivers are great. They pop up all the time, can frequently run through entire seasons, and come in a variety of type - ranging from bet & get offers, odds boosts, parlay insurance, and even giveaways.

Betting Features

BetRivers has all the betting features you can hope to find from one of the best US betting sites, including some live streaming and various promotional competitions.

Odds & Market Depth

BetRivers compares well with other high end betting sites, and even edges out a few when you factor in the frequent odds boosts.
Market depth is a strong point for BetRivers as there are many small global leagues and even niche sports like Jai-Alai. The parlay markets are equally robust letting you create some diverse and fun betting combinations.

Parlays: Definitely still a top ten parlay betting site, the main glaring issue with BetRivers is the lack of SGP+, even though there are plenty of Same Game Parlay sports.
✅ Multi Sport Parlays
✅ Same Game Parlays: Football, NBA, MLB, NHL, Soccer
✅ Quick parlays, bet builder
❌ SGP+

Payments

BetRivers keeps pace with the rest of the leading betting sites by offering speedy withdrawals and a large selection of payment methods for both deposit and withdrawal.

$10 minimum withdrawal

Usability: Overall BetRivers is an incredibly solid betting site, and has a ton of features that help you navigate and create bets easily. The glaring issue with the sportsbook is the somewhat cluttered interface coming from the lice newsfeed and blocky feel that can often feel in the way of the actual odds. Live streaming NHL games is easy to find, and there are generally a few games to choose from which is nice to have alongside the actual betting.

Fanatics creates their own odds, and while they're certainly not bad, there are a few other betting sites that offer a slight edge on certain sports and events.
Market depth is overall quite good, with a lot of global leagues and sports. We would love to see some additional props added to more sports, and even a couple more niche sports that are available on some larger sportsbooks.

Parlays: Fanatics Sportsbook covers all the basics of parlay betting with multi sport parlays and an expanding selection of Same Game Parlays. We would like an updated bet slip that would make it easier to adjust parlays within the selections, as it can be very frustrating.
✅ Multi Sport Parlays
✅ Same Game Parlays: NFL, NBA, NHL, Soccer
✅ SGP tool
✅ SGP+ (limited)

Payments

Fanaticss doesn't have many payment methods, which we are very surprised about since they already have a hugely popular ecommerce platform. We expect this to change soon as Apple Pay and card payments are the only options.

$10 minimums

Usability: Usability and mobile betting is really good on Fanatics Sportsbook, with a clear emphasis on usability for bettors of all experience levels. The fresh new take on a home page for a betting site shows the popular events that are currently happening, or starting that day, along with a really smooth interactive element of side scrolling and easy selections of pre made parlays.

Hard Rock Bet has come a long way since launch, and has developed into the solid betting site and app we expected from such an iconic and prolific brand. You'll find a number of popular betting features like parlays, same game parlays, teasers, and even round robins. The app is a lot more streamlined, and offers some aesthetic customization and easy navigation to make it more enjoyable.

Hard Rock Bet is legal in Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, New Jersey and Iowa.

Hard Rock Bet is a powerhouse when it comes to sports betting, and has built off of their reputation to deliver a dynamic betting site and online casino. Hard Rock excels in a few key areas - usability and promotions.

There are solid live betting options as well as a robust same game parlay offering, all with a wide range of ways to bet and diverse markets. Even though it focuses more on US centric sports, Hard Rock is great for new and experienced bettors.

Consistent promotions are a staple of Hard Rock Bet, with daily promos and boosts. You can even find great stats and tips on betting that can help inform your next wager.

Welcome Bonus

Unibet has a decent welcome bonus, with the main downside being the difference between states. In PA players get the highest value second chance bet, whereas players in NJ have a nice bet & get bonus. Wherever you sign up with Unibet you won't be disappointed, but these bonuses don't quite stack up to other big players.

Existing User Promotions

Unibet has a smattering of odds boosts and other promos, but they've focused the value more towards the betting with great odds rather than high value promos. That being said Unibet is incredibly consistent if offering promotions, so you'll almost always find some way to get a little extra from a wager.

Betting Features

Unibet has a great global reputation for both sports betting and their online casino, which means you won't be bored however you want to play with quite a few betting features optimized for live betting.

Parlays: Unibet offers a decent parlay betting selection, but it's nothing particularly special. If you are really focused on parlay betting sites like FanDuel or BetMGM are better choices.
✅ Multi Sport Parlays
✅ Same Game Parlays: Football, Basketball, Hockey, Baseball, Soccer
✅ Quick parlays, bet builder

Payments

Unibet has all the bases covered with payment options for traditional methods and e-wallets. The first withdrawal tends to be a bit slower as they run through additional verification, but after that it can be very quick.

$10 minimums

Usability

One of the best things about Unibet is how optimized they are for mobile through excellent navigation, clear layouts, and easy to see odds comparisons. We think this is a great choice for new bettors, even thought there are tons of different things you can wager on.

Our one gripe is that each state requires a separate app, which can be frustrating if you live right on the border between legal states and need to swap over often.

Caesars Sportsbook is a rebranded version of William Hill, which is one of the oldest bookmakers in the world. With a history dating back to 1934, the company has established itself in the UK with its high-street offering and more recently the online betting site which is now expanding into new markets. In 2021, William Hill was acquired by Caesars, and a rebrand was completed in August of that year.

The Caesars Sportsbook & App are legal in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington D.C., Wyoming, and West Virginia.

Caesars Sportsbook rebranded from the well know UK bookie, William Hill. And they have been making leaps and bounds since then, swiftly becoming one of the most well-known and popular betting sites in the US.

Boasting an incredibly slick and easy-to-use mobile app with NFL Live Streaming, Caesars is also one of the most generous online betting sites you'll find, with tons of promotions and daily boosts.

Caesars Sportsbook has over twenty different sports to wager on, with deep markets for US sports and numerous betting features like parlays, live betting, and more. Suffice it to say we think Caesars is one of the best betting sites right now.

ClutchBet has an awesome welcome bonus that is incredibly versatile as the value is spread out over five weeks. The offer matches the first wager of each week 100% up to a certain amount, so you basically can double your betting power!

Existing User Promotions

Unlike many other new betting sites, ClutchBet has a huge selection of promotions for existing cutomers to choose from on a daily basis. These promos are not limited to just a couple sports either, you can find a very divers range to suit what you want to bet on, and how you like to bet.

Betting Features

ClutchBet has a lot of solid betting features, especially considering they are not widely available and are still new in the US.

Parlays, Same Game Parlays
Live Betting (with excellent Play-by-play graphics)
Cash Out
ClutchClash
Bet Builder Tool

Odds & Market Depth

There isn't much to complain about for ClutchBet's odds, they are competitive for major markets, but we have seen better on some lines.
Market depth and variety is one of the areas ClutchBet needs to improve as their selection of more global sports is still a little sparse.

Parlays: ClutchBet has an ok parlay feature, it gets the jobs done for major sports, but is a bit limited. If you are really focused on parlay betting sites like FanDuel or BetMGM are better choices.
✅ Multi Sport Parlays
✅ Same Game Parlays: Football, Basketball, Hockey, Baseball
✅ Quick parlays
❌ SGP+

Payments

There are quite a few ways to manage your betting funds on ClutchBet, including multiple e-wallets like PayPal and Skrill. We always like to see more choice, but overall it's easy to fund and withdraw.

$10 minimums

Usability

ClutchBet has mad a conscious effort to make their betting site as user friendly as possible, with a solid and simple layout, and easy navigation to find the sports and markets you want. There are some lingering UX issues, but for the most part these are not noticeable unless you're making some pretty wild bet combinations.

While it's generally not a big deal as the mobile app is the better choice for using ClutchBet, there is no dedicated mobile site so if you have not downloaded the app you'll need to be one desktop to wager.

Overall Rating

Author: Jason Mancini

Sporttrade is the latest betting exchange to open up in the US (one of only two!), and they have modelled their buying and selling sporting outcomes on more of a financial model, which is a unique twist on traditional sports betting.

Players are able to set their own 'buy' and 'sell' prices which relate to the outcome of a match, and since you are betting with other players, you can actually set your own odds effectively, with Sporttrade only taking a 2% cut from winning wagers, which generally works out to a better profit margin.

You can aslo claim a cash back welcome bonus with promo code BBST.

✅ One of only two betting exchanges in the US

✅ Set your own prices

✅ Higher profit on winning wagers usually

❌ App only

Available in: NJ, CO

Bonus & Promotions

Welcome Bonus

Sporttrade is the only betting site to offer a cash back welcome bonus to new users. Over the first week 3% of any bet made will be added into the cash back pool, and released after the promotion date ends.

Existing User Promotions

Because Sporttrade is a betting exchange that focuses on their higher profit margin potential, they don't really offer any existing user promos. But they do highlight how to use the betting exchange for matched betting, which can net you actual guaranteed profit by using other betting site bonuses.

Betting Features

Sporttrade is a betting exchange, so they don't offer the same types of features many other sites do as you are buying and selling outcomes with other players.

Betting Exchange
Live Betting
Cash Out (sell your wager at any point)

Odds & Market Depth

Sporttrade has some of the best effective odds in the country since they don't set a vig, meaning you are setting the lowest lines you want with other bettors. All they do is take a 2% cut of the winnings, which still almost always works out in your favor.
Market depth and variety is one of the areas Sporttrade will need to improve, but they are focused on major markets to bring more players into the betting exchange as it is still a novel idea in the US.

Parlays: Sporttrade does not offer any parlays.

Payments

Sporttrade offers players a number of ways to fund their account, including PayPal.

$5 minimums

Usability

Sporttrade has developed a really user friendly mobile app considering they are introducing players to a pretty new form of sports betting. While using a betting exchange can take some getting used to, the UX is quite simple with clear options for setting limits, which markets are busy, and what your current 'portfolio' of bets looks like.

It would be nice if there was a desktop version of the betting exchange given how many players will be using it to compare odds and really dive into the numbers, but as they grow we expect to see this added.

Important Features of a Betting Site

There are a number of different factors to consider when finding a new betting site, and we do understand after a decade of reviewing and ranking betting sites that everyone's preferences are different. But when it comes to key features, there are some that play a much bigger role for bettors, regardless of how much you've played.

Availability: Where the betting site is legal and licensed
Ease of Use: How easy is it to register, use the app, and place a wager
Betting Variety: Which sports, leagues, and features are available
Odds: Will you get good value on your wager
Payment Options: How quick, safe, and easy it is to deposit and withdraw
Bonuses & Promos: How valuable, frequent, and easy to claim bonuses are

What About a Sign Up Bonus!

Don't worry, we have't forgotten about how valuable sign up offers can be for beginners who will certainly want to limit their risk when betting or have the chance to try out a new betting site with some bonus bets instead of their own funds.

Pretty much all US betting sites have welcome bonuses, so check out our list above for great sign up offers to claim!

How to Sign Up With an American Betting Site

Once you've found the right betting site for you, it's time to get signed up and start betting! It may seem daunting to get started especially if you're new to the betting scene, but the following steps will help it stay simple and easy.

Click a green 'Claim' button

We don't want you to miss out on claiming a welcome bonus, hence the big green buttons all over the page. If you click one, you'll be sent over to the betting site you choose ready to claim a bonus to get you started.

Create your account

Once you land on the betting site page, you'll be prompted to select your state and sign-up.

At this point you just need to provide some general account details:

Full Name
Email
Password

Caesars Registration Screenshot 1 iphone13midnight portrait

Register your account

Next up is the proper account registration, where you can provide your details to the betting site to fully register to start betting:

Date of Birth
Address
Mobile Number
Last four digits of SSN

This is all very standard, and makes sure the betting sites are adhering properly to all regulations in the US.

We don't feature any betting sites that are not fully legal and licensed, but if you start signing up somewhere not shown here and they don't require this type of info, be careful as offshore books are not safe gambling sites.

Caesars Registration Screenshot 2 iphone13midnight portrait

Who can use betting sites?

Any US resident who is 21 years old or over can use betting sites in the USA.

You will have to be physically located in a state where the betting site that you are using is licensed to place online bets but you can still log in, deposit, withdraw and manage your betting site account from other states.

Verifying your ID on betting sites

All online betting sites in the USA need to verify their players' identities before they can accept wagers.

In some states, like Iowa, this needs to be done in person but in most states, this is done automatically by checking the information you provide when signing up with relevant tax or government agencies. In some cases, players will get an email asking them to send in a copy or photo of their photo ID (eg. passport, driver's licence or state ID card) and/or a proof of address (eg. a utility bill or bank statement).

By law, after your ID has been verified, all documents containing your personal information are destroyed.

American Betting Sites With Bonuses & Promotions

Claiming a juicy bonus when you sign up is a HUGE reason to even bother singing up at all, and regardless of wether you've never used a betting site before, or are looking to claim your tenth welcome bonus from a new US sportsbook, there needs to be some value.

Bookies Bonuses, not just Bookies

We tend to think of betting offers into two separate categories - betting bonuses (eg. sign up bonuses like bonus bets, no sweat bets, deposit bonuses, and no deposit bonuses) and betting promotions (eg. existing customer offers like parlay insurance and odds boosts). One gets you through the door and the other keeps you playing by adding great value to you normal wagers.

Best Bonus Betting Sites

We've spent a lot of time on the betting sites we review, and based on the frequency and value of promotions after signing up, as well as the welcome bonus, we think these are the three best betting sites in the US for bonuses and promotions.
