Betting Agencies in the USA

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In an industry where the cream truly does rise to the top, Betway has managed to continue its ascension throughout the UK, Europe, and even parts of Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Now, it has arrived in the United States and is ready to become a leading force.

Betway isn't messing around, either. It has already struck partnerships with teams like the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, and Tottenham Hotspur.

Betfred first opened its doors in the UK back in 1967. Now, after 50 years of offering some of the best odds, and generally being a global leader in sports betting, they've launched in the US as Betfred Sports.

There are a bunch of reasons we think Betfred is a great addition to the US sports betting industry, but some of the best features and reasons to sign up for this betting site are the odds, boosts, and mobile app.

1. Betfred has been around long enough to recognize that providing competitive odds is massively important, and is one of their strongest aspects. When you bet regularly, the smallest increases in payout can start to add up.
2. Daily boosts are just another reason we think Betfred deserves some attention. With the already competitive odds we mentioned, these daily boosts can rocket your potential payout up if you manage to pick a winning bet.
3. Betting on the go, or just on the couch is awesome, and the well designed and fast mobile app from Betfred Sports makes it easy to do. We love the simple navigation and clean layout that keeps betting organized.

Betfred Sports is legal and live in Colorado, Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia & Iowa.

ClutchBet launched betting operations in the US towards the end of 2022 - rebranding from their global brand BlueBet. They come with a plethora of betting expertise and have launched a solid betting site in the US, with numerous features and competitive odds.

ClutchBet is legal Iowa, and is expected to launch in Indiana, Colorado, and Louisiana in the coming months.

Desert Diamond Sports is an offshoot of the incredibly well know Desert Diamond Casino in Arizona, and have been quietly offering a high end sportsbook for anyone in the Grand Canyon State. There are more than a few reasons to check out Desert Diamond, but here are the main ones:

• Great welcome offer and regular promotions give both new and existing users some pretty impressive added value. Plus, there are daily odds boosts and even an AZ Happy Hour bonus with better juice!
• A wide variety of sports really helps put Desert Diamond Sports in the big leagues. Easily one of the most robust selections of betting markets in Arizona, the betting site is filled with popular and niche sports.
• Easy and quick payment options are hugely important when sports betting, and is something Desert Diamond does very well, with a simple deposit and withdrawal interface and multiple e-wallets available.

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.

PlayUp offers a straightforward sportsbook with competitive odds and markets that players actually want (including same game parlays for football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer). You can also expect stats and play-by-play graphics for live sports as well as a high-value deposit bonus and many futures markets. Overall, we would need more betting markets, payment options, and specials to give PlayUp a higher rating.

Bally Bet has one of the best-value sign up bonuses of any US betting site which should be enough to get players in the door. After that, Bally Bet doesn't have much to offer above the very standard moneyline, spread and totals markets for popular sports. You'll find opportunities to win big with various Bally Bet prediction games too but the unintuitive navigation, limited payment options and very average offering are big turn-offs for us.

Betr is the new kid on the block, looking to make waves in the sport betting industry by focusing on play-by-play microbetting. The highly engaging form of betting breaks down games into specific events like 'next pitch,' 'outcome of the next drive', and 'player to score next basket.'

The mobile first betting site is still in beta, but the future looks bright for Betr, and with an expanded suite of sports and more payment options this will be a fun way to wager.

PlaySugarHouse is powered by Kambi (same as Unibet & 888sport) meaning there's plenty of betting options and good odds. Despite this, PlaySugarHouse also has much room for improvement - as may be expected given really is just a clone of BetRivers, who are both operated by Rush Street Interactive Inc. The PlaySugar sportsbook is crowded, hard to navigate and the PlaySugarHouse app is slow and clunky. Still, with a decent sign up bonus, live streaming, sports tips and predictions, and a solid online casino, PlaySugarHouse is a nice addition to your online betting site portfolio.

This being said, eventually PlaySugarHouse will be fully absorbed by BetRivers, so we do expect a lot of improvement over time as this merger brings together a lot of betting power under one roof.
