Prior to the US Supreme Court overturning the PASPA in 2018, legal sports betting was only available in Nevada. Since 2018, over 30 states have legalized some form of real money sports betting either retail or online. With this change the number of legal online sportsbooks has also grown significantly. Additionally, states that have not legalized online sports betting often allow Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) or Fantasy Pick’em platforms to operate in their states.
What Is a Legal Online Sportsbook?
A legal online sportsbook is a fully licensed operator that has been approved by a state's government to offer real-money sports betting. These online sportsbooks provide various wager types such as spreads, moneylines, totals, player prop bets, and live betting. Popular U.S. sportsbook brands include:
- BetMGM
- Caesars Sportsbook
- bet365 (in selected states)
- Fanatics
- FanDuel
- DraftKings
Because online sports betting is regulated at the state level, each operator must secure a license in every state in which it wants to operate. This ensures strict compliance, consumer protection, and responsible gambling standards.
What to Consider when choosing an online sportsbook
Betting options
What types of bets does the sportsbook offer, such as Moneyline, Over/Under, Player Prop bets or Same Game Parlays.
Betting Markets
Which sports and leagues does the sportsbook offer odds for. Be sure to check out the offerings for the sports and leagues you think you’ll want to bet on when selecting a sportsbook. Betting markets can vary quite a bit between online sportsbooks.
Bonuses and Promotions
Before registering with an online sportsbook, you should always check out their signup bonus offers as well as what other promotional offers they have available to users. When checking the bonus, it is also important to check the turnover requirements and any other conditions that may be involved with the bonus or promotion.
Payment Methods
Every online sportsbook accepts various ways for players to make deposits or withdrawals. While credit/debit cards are accepted by nearly all online sportsbooks, certain providers may not accept newer payment methods like PayPal, Venmo or PayNearMe. Additionally, each online sportsbook has different requirements and fees associated with making a deposit or withdrawal. It is important for players to check these conditions before registering an account.
