Betting Agencies in the USA

The PointsBet welcome bonus gives players five chances to wager and get up to $50 refunded in bet credits if the bet loses.

Unique Betting Features

There is a long list of great betting features on PointsBet, but they have made a point of creating new features as well as giving you a ton of flexibility on markets and odds. Points Betting is a novel take on more traditional spread betting, where you get paid (or lose) more based on how correct your wager is.

There is also a Name-a-Bet option if you can't find what you want to bet one, giving you the chance to create a new betting market in the unlikely event it isn't available. the Karma Kommittee is there in case your wager suffers from a bad beat, and will refund you in bet credits to wager on the site if PointsBet determines the result was impacted by unforeseen circumstances or a bad call.

DraftKings Sportsbook's welcome offer may not seem like a big dollar value, but you only need to wager $5 in order to claim $150 in bonus bets. This is a 30x value, and it doesn't matter if your wager wins or loses, that bonus is locked in when you place the bet.

Betting Agency with Long Term Value

DraftKings has been around in the US for a long time, starting off as a Daily Fantasy Sports service before opening the sportsbook. This experience in US sports and betting has led to an incredibly robust betting site and app, with tons of promotions and boosts for returning users. DraftKings Sportsbook doesn't always advertise betting promos, but we can almost guarantee that every time you log on there will be a boost or bonus bet to use on a particular event.

Having an online betting agency you will want to come back to and use repeatedly is huge, and DraftKings certainly delivers in this respect. Plus, they keep rolling out improved features like Draftkings Micro Betting and a more expansive cash out option.

The well know Vegas casino is also one of the most recognizable betting agencies in the US. Constantly advertised as a first bet on Caesar, new players can place their first bet and have any loss gets refunded as bet credits up to a maximum of $1,250.

Rewards Program & Rewarding Promotions

A major focus on Caesars Sportsbook is to make player feel like an 'Emperor' through a variety of great promotions and an extensive rewards program. The betting agency features different promotions nearly every day, ranging from parlay insurance, profit boosts, or simple bet and get offers.

The Caesars Sportsbook rewards program is easily one of the best in the business, due mainly to the huge reach of the Caesars brand globally. Part of the welcome offer is giving new players credits towards the rewards program that they can turn into bet credits on the sportsbook, or use for shopping, dinning, and other prizes.

FanDuel Sportsbook also started out as a Daily Fantasy Sports product, and has built up to have over 50% of the entire online sports betting market in the US. The welcome bonus gives you the chance to wager up to $1,000 as a No Sweat First Bet, which means you'll be refunded as bet credits if that loses.

The Father of the Same Game Parlay

A reason FanDuel Sportsbook's Same Game Parlay feature is so good is because they literally brought it to the US. FanDuel offers one of the most extensive selections of sports available for SGPs, and they also regularly feature Same Game Parlay Insurance and boosts to make this type of betting even more enticing.

Another huge pro for FanDuel is the mobile app - which is incredibly well designed and easy to use. Built from the ground up for both iOS and Android, the mobile app packs all the normal betting features and even feels like an improvement because of the slick navigation and mobile optimized tweaks like sliders, visual customization, and live streaming.

The iconic Rivers Casino transitioned to an online betting agency, BetRivers. Like some of its counterparts, BetRiver's welcome offer refunds a loss on your initial bet up to $500. Called a 'second chance bet,' players will be refunded with bet credits that can be wagered again, with any winnings withdrawable.

Live Stream with Stats & Tips

Although BetRivers can feel a bit crowded at times, a lot of that has to do with how much they are trying to pack in for the user to experience. For example, BetRivers displays some pretty insightful match stats, betting tips, and predictions when you're placing wagers, as well as showcasing recent wagers on a sidebar.

This can be especially good when taking advantage of the live streaming options. NHL Live streaming is excellent on BetRivers, and you can generally find the most games available to watch here as long as you have an active bet on something.

BetMGM lives up to the Vegas expectations of excess with their welcome offer, giving up to $1,000 in Bonus Bets back you you if your first wager loses. This is one of the bigger dollar values you can get with a sign up offer, but it does rely on your first wager losing, but at least you can have some peace of mind you're not totally out of luck even with a loss.

The 'King of Parlays'

There is a lot of glamor with BetMGM, bundled in a flashy looking mobile app with big promos. But this hasn't taken away the actual quality of the sports betting, as BetMGM has one of the best parlay betting features in the US. Aside from the traditional parlays, there are a bunch of sports with One Game Parlay betting available, and Easy Parlay tool to build out bets, as well as frequent promotions boosting parlay odds or offering parlay insurance on losing wagers.

BetMGM has also added the option to edit parts of live bets, letting you add, swap, or even remove selections in some cases! Of course you can also increase your stake or cash out depending on how the match is going.

Bet365 is the biggest global betting agency, but hasn't made as much of a splash in the US due to a lack of advertising and the quietly excellent welcome bonus. $200 may not seem like much when compared to some offers that can net you over $1k in bet credits, but you only need to wager $1 to get the bonus, and win or lose, you have bet credits to play with.

Bigger and Better

In the case of Bet365 bigger does mean better. Not only does Bet365 have one of the biggest selections of markets and global leagues in the US, the odds are always very competitive with other top betting agencies. This includes live betting and even prop markets for niche sports.

A second huge plus for Bet365 is the early payouts on several different sports. If your team leads but a certain amount at any point, Bet365 will count it as a win regardless of the final outcome - and this works for parlay legs too!

Another massive global betting agency testing the waters in the US, Unibet has been quietly offering a great welcome bonus for new users, though it does depend on which state you live in. You can claim a second chance bet from between $100 (NJ) up to $500 (PA) after registering, which will help minimize worry when betting on a new sportsbook.

Quick Live Betting with Tons of Props

Unibet has built a very strong global reputation as a live betting agency, and is an incredibly user-friendly sportsbook. Not only is the app optimized to run quickly and smoothly on mobile, which helps immensely when live betting, players can enjoy detailed stats and play-by-play graphics to stay up to date on the action.

Some live betting limits prop wagers, but with Unibet this is not the case, as they easily offer one of the biggest selections of props for traditional and live betting. Simple navigation through the menus makes it very easy to find the exact markets you want to wager on, which earns a thumbs up from us.

WynnBET brought on a ton of celebrity and sports personalities early on, and was quickly one of the best betting agencies in the US. The welcome offer is ok, but mostly because it's a bet & get bonus which give value regardless of your first wager outcome. The first bet does need to be pretty big, but the -120 odds lets you bet fairly safe and walk away with $100 in bonus bets either way.

A 'Wynner' for US Sports

Bad puns aside, WynnBET excels when it comes to wagering on US sports. Frequently offering some of the best odds, and providing very deep betting markets on the top leagues in the States, WynnBET has clearly focused on the US audience here, which is also evident from the promotions that tend to only be available for NBA, NFL, and sometimes the NHL.

While we would love to see some more sports become available, being able to log in and consistently use a parlay boost, live bet bonus, or even get some bet credits for wagering on US sports isn't such a bad thing!

Every American is familiar with Sports Illustrated, and SI Sportsbook is working hard to leverage that reputation into a well known betting agency in the US. The welcome offer is easy to claim with a win or lose first bet of $10, and even though the amount may be small, this is a just a solid chunk of bet credits to help get new players started on SI Sportsbook.

Big Value on Global Sports Betting

SI Sportsbook started off by partnering with 888sport, which is the main reason it provides users with such a worldwide focus on sports betting markets. While still considered a 'small' betting agency, SI Sportsbook boasts one of the most robust selections of sports and leagues from all over the world, all with very competitive odds.

On top of this, users can expect to find a great selection of betting promotions and boosts to squeeze out a little extra profit from winning bets, or even by winning some of the free-to-play competitions SI Sportsbook offers. The SI Perfect 10 weekly game has a cash prize of up to $10K!

ClutchBet is the 2022 American rebrand of the Aussie agency, BlueBet. Offering a simple to claim Bet $10 Get $50 bonus, ClutchBet has been relying on solid features and interesting new ways to bet over a huge welcome bonus - but $50 in bonus bets regardless of the outcome of your first wager is actually pretty good too!

Fun Ways to Bet, and Frequent Promos

ClutchBet relies on their global experience, and has managed to launch a really solid online betting agency right off the bat. There were very few teething issues or lacking features, which is great for anyone looking to snag some bonus bets when signing up and jump right into a good sports betting experience. A unique feature is ClutchClash, which creates a head to head parlay between particular players, where you only need to bet the better outcome, not exact stats!

Additionally, users will be treated to tons of regular promos to boost odds, earn bet credits for wagering on specific events, or insure parlays on several different sports.

Playing off of their excellent brand name in the US, Borgata online is more or less a carbon copy of BetMGM with somewhat reduced sports variety. That being said, the welcome bonus is one of the best you can find, as it delivers players a big chunk of bonus bets just for wagering $20.

Online Casino with a Sprinkle of Sports Betting

Being built from the BetMGM UX isn't actually a bad thing at all, since it's one of the cleanest looking betting agencies in the US. The main reason Borgata Online doesn't push higher on the list is the focus is primarily on the casino, not sports betting. For some users this may be perfect, since this is certainly one of the most extensive online casinos currently on the market.

The sports betting isn't bad either, but Borgata Online doesn't offer a tons of sport variety and the promotions for sports betting to take advantage of are few and far between. This has been improving, but until Borgata expands into more states and adds market depth the welcome offer and casino are really the main draws.

Betway has been around for a while, and has continued their trend of partnering with major sports teams all over the globe in the US, with a major emphasis on the NBA and NHL. While it may not be the biggest welcome bonus, a $250 first bet reset is still valuable, and actually less daunting if you want to bet the maximum.

Deep Markets, Odds Boosts, and Shared Casino Wallet

The years of global betting experience Betway has to offer is evident with the numerous sports leagues and expansive selection of betting features. Same Game Parlays are available on all the major sports, with daily boosts to help increase your payout more - the Bet Builder tool also make it super easy to find which markets can be put together.

Betway's payment options are another plus, with PayPal and e-wallets available, as well as featuring a shared wallet with the online casino. It's incredibly easy and fast to move money in and out of the online betting agency.

Making its debut only a few years after sports betting was legalized in the US, Betfred Sports has expanded quickly. The Sign up offer is also one of most valuable, as it is provides bonus bets through the first five weeks. The initial $50 wager you place secures a $111 bonus, which is great on its own, but 50% of all loses for five weeks will be refunded as Fred Bets up to $200 per week!

Bonuses, Boosts, and Betfred Rewards

Given the reputation of Betfred as a betting agency, we can gloss over the fact it offers great parlays and Same Game Parlays, showcases very competitive odds, and has just about every major league you could want. The great odds and profit boosts every day, valuable promotions, and generous rewards program really help Betfred Sports compete with the top betting agencies in the US.

To really get the most out of Betfred Sports, the mobile app is the way to go, as they have redone much of the boring design on the desktop and streamlined navigation very well.

There was a ton of excitement when Prophet Exchange became the first US betting exchange in 2022, as it added a great new dimension to the industry, and was able to offer the best moneyline odds around. Even without a proper welcome bonus, there are very few options to use a betting exchange in the US, so if you like setting lines this is the betting agency for you.

Peer to Peer Wagering

The purpose of betting exchange is to allow players to set and request their own odds, which naturally leads to the best odds on these markets as there is virtually no vig taking a cut. In theory this is excellent, and has seen a ton of success globally, but Prophet Exchange suffers most from not having many betting options currently, which sadly lets down the betting exchange somewhat.

While it is certainly the place to go for setting low lines, it can sometimes be tough to find players to match your odds if you want on wager out of the standard lines. Once Prophet expands into other states it has potential to become a solid betting exchange.

Desert Diamond Casino is an incredibly popular retail gambling site in Arizona, and the online betting agency they have launched is an excellent compliment to in-person wagering. They currently offer new users one of the best welcome bonuses in AZ, in the form of the rare and valuable 100% deposit match bonus.

Arizona Focused Betting Agency

Desert Diamond Sportsbook is a true Arizona betting agency, with great in-person wagering at the casino and a bunch of partnerships and boosts for Arizona teams. It's a shame that Desert Diamond is only available in the one state, since they deliver a high quality product with competitive odds, deep markets, and a bunch of promotions to enjoy through the week.

The additional odds boosts on AZ teams and profit boosts can make the lines some of the best in the state, and actually end up being more valuable if you win since you can actually withdraw your profits instead of just getting bonus bets you need to re-wager.

Hard Rock Sportsbook has gone through some major and much needed changes, becoming a solid betting agency for anyone in the right states. The welcome offer is also quite good, refunding a losing first bet as bonus bets up to $1,000 so you don't have any regrets.

Iconic Brand with an Improved Sportsbook

Everyone knows Hard Rock, which has been both a blessing and a curse for this betting agency since players expected it to be much more robust when first launching. The Hard Rock Sportsbook has come a long way in the past year, and now offers a pretty robust betting site, and excellent casino - all packaged on a slick mobile app.

There are bunch of ways to pay, including PayPal and Venmo, making it super easy to get your money, which is great considering the frequent promos on offer. The downsides to these promos is the reliance on the 'Mystery Wheel' that just adds another level to getting your bonus bets and may not actually pay out much.

SuperBook Sportsbook was one of the first online betting agencies in the US, launching back in 2018. Since then they have expanded into multiple new states, and still offer an excellent first bet match welcome bonus of $250, which isn't even tied to the wager winning!

One of the First US Betting Agencies

Even though SuperBook has been around since the very start of legal online sports betting, there hasn't been the needed improvement to keep it as one of the best in the country. While it does offer some pretty competitive odds, especially for in-state teams, some of the more innovative betting features like Same Game Parlay have not been implemented.

That being said, SuperBook has a great welcome offer, and the intentionally simple design does make for easy navigation on both the desktop and each state-specific mobile app. If you primarily want to bet on major US sports, SuperBook is a very solid option, and pretty widely available.

The controversial sports brand launched their betting agency in 2018, offering a refreshing sportsbook to their avid fans. Still featuring one of the biggest value welcome offers, new players will get 100% of their first wager back as bonus cash to wager again.

Betting Stats & Trends While Wagering

Barstool Sportsbook burst onto the scene with Penn National as the foundation for the betting agency, and has been delivering a solid betting experience since launch. There is no shortage of betting markets or sports you can wager on, and the interface is very clean and easy to use. There are even options to customise what you look at if there are particular markets you frequently wager on.

The major downside to Barstool Sportsbook, aside from the controversial brand that may be off putting to some, is the lack of regular promotions. Given the size of their welcome bonus, we would expect more than the occasional odds boost for returning users.

PlayUp is another Australian betting agency has managed to grow in the US market, bringing straightforward wagering and strong odds from down under. The current sign up bonus is decent as well, netting users $100 in bonus bets as long as they wager a total of $100 in the first 30 days.

Competitive Odds and Straightforward Betting

The neon green is a bit jarring when you first jump onto PlayUp, but once you get used to the color scheme it does make it easy to pick and choose markets, and place your wager. Which is what PlayUp does well - they are a very straightforward betting agency with very competitive odds, and markets that cover pretty much all popular events.

The only real downsides to PlayUp are the more limited selection of payment options and a need to expand the sports offered to users. Aside from this you can really enjoy a to-the-point sportsbook with solid live betting a some of the best Same Game Parlay options.

The betting agency offshoot of FOX Sports, FOX Bet is a decent overall sportsbook, but needs some time to really grow in order to standalone for sports betting. The $50 'first bet on us' is an ok welcome offer, since you'll be refunded with a bonus bet up to $50 if you lose. The actual dollar value is low compared to other betting agency bonuses, but it's actually a little more realistic people would be wagering this amount versus risking over a grand on a first bet.

Great Poker and Daily Payout Boosts

Surprise, surprise, being partnered with PokerStars gives FOX Bet a huge edge for online card games and online casino games. The actual sports betting leave a bit to be desired, but is massively helped by fantastic daily offers and payout boosts that can potentially quadruple your money.

Live betting on FOX Bet is also quite good, with quick graphics and helpful match stats alongside live games. A little more refinement in the visual design of the online betting agency would help bring forward the more important information and make using FOX Bet more enjoyable.

Bally Bet started off strong as an online betting agency, but hasn't quite managed to keep up with some of the other established retail casinos who added online betting options. Bally recently removed their welcome offer, which was arguably one of the best in the country being a 'bet match,' but you can still take advantage of a great loyalty program to earn rewards and bonuses.

Losses Payout with Progressive Parlays

A lot of betting agencies opt for parlay insurance to give players a bit of security on parlays, but Bally Bet takes it a little further by still offering a payout if one leg of a parlay loses. These progressive parlays are only available for point spread markets and the resulting payout will be much less if a leg misses, so there are some limitations. But the chance to still win something is excellent.

A solid mobil app is also a nice part of Bally Bet, and helps keep track of the loyalty program players can sign up for to earn various rewards and points with.

Originally a German betting agency, Tipico partnered with USA Today when they launched in the States back in 2020. There are a few different sign up offers for Tipico depending on your state, but they are all excellent, ranging from a 100% deposit match up to $250 in NJ, CO, and IA to an over 100% deposit match in OH.

In-House Odds

Tipico has in-house odds, which is a massive plus for a betting agency as it drops the vig significantly and lets them post more attractive lines that bettors can profit more from. The better odds hold true across all of their various markets and even translate to features like parlay betting and live betting that sometimes rely more on game fluctuations and big combos to boost the odds.

A few more leagues and sports would go a long way to help Tipico be seen as one of the best betting agencies, but they do provide a huge number of ways to finance your account, including multiple e-wallets and even Apple Pay.

Microbetting is still in its infancy, but Betr has gone full time into creating and refining the play-by-play style of betting on their mobile app. This focus has created a very engaging way to bet live on events, which each possible play, pitch, or down opening up new markets.
