Online Sports Betting
in the US

Since New Jersey was instrumental in getting the 1992 PASPA overturned, how is the state for online sports betting? As might be imagined, it didn’t challenge the act only to retreat. From 2018, New Jersey immediately created one of the strongest online sports betting markets in the country.

First on the online betting scene was DraftKings Sportsbook on August 1st of that year. That was the first online betting site to emerge outside of Nevada. Not far behind DraftKings was the playMGM (now BetMGM) sports betting app, which debuted on August 22nd, 2018, followed a day later by SugarHouse Sportsbook. Only days after, William Hill and FanDuel Sportsbook joined the market.

Caesars Casino brought their mobile sports betting to the Garden State on September 6th, the day before NFL season kicked off. Caesars was soon joined by 888sport and BetStars (now FoxBet). That was all in 2018. Other sites like Hard Rock, Resorts, PointsBet, Golden Nugget, BetAmerica, Unibet, The Score and Bet365 have since added to the NJ market.

Predictably, Pennsylvania wasn’t as fast out of the sports betting block as New Jersey. Keen PA bettors have had to endure months of waiting and delays until, on May 31st 2019, the first online sportsbook materialized.

It was SugarHouse that launched its sportsbook first for Pennsylvanian sports pundits. Since then Betrivers, FanDuel, DraftKings, BetAmerica, Unibet and Foxbet have opened up and accept PA online sports betting customers.

Note that companies must have a brick-and-mortar retail sportsbook or be partnered with one before they can run online sports betting in any state.

Indiana made its debut on the online sports betting scene in October 2019. Top brands such as FanDuel and DraftKings were early out of the gates and are likely to be dominating the Indiana sports betting market, just like they are in New Jersey. Together with BetRivers and BetAmerica these were the brands that launched in 2019. We expect an additional 5-10 new sports betting sites in Indiana throughout 2020 which will fierce the competition to be the best online sportsbook in Indiana.

In August 2019 DraftKings and FanDuel launched online sports betting in West Virginia. The trend is clear with these two brands as first movers in almost every state opening up for online sports betting. BetMGM became the third and first in 2020 to offer its services in West Virginia. We expect see more sportsbooks soon in WV.

We are crazy about sports and our aim is to be your complete guide to online sports betting. Sports betting is our passion and the people behind US sportsbonus are avid sports bettors.

We work with some of the best sports betting experts in the industry and we offer daily/weekly betting picks on all the major US sports – NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and UFC.

One of the primary goals of US Sportsbonus is to allow bettors to see at a glance where to find the best bonuses. These normally come in the form of free bets or a generous percentage reward on the first deposit. It’s common for online sports betting sites to give 100, 150 or even 200% deposit bonuses as a welcome.

At US Sportsbonus, visitors can easily compare bonuses between the best online sportsbooks. In addition to the normal welcome bonus, further bonuses are often gifted to regular visitors. These might include free weekly bets, odds boosts and more. By studying the “form” of all these sites in one convenient place, gamblers can make the most of their money.

In addition to the bonus comparison, visitors to US Sportsbonus can see online sports betting operator reviews of each site and what it has to offer. Direct links to each website make it easy to capitalize on any given bonus or welcome package. Some of the biggest, most reputable names in sports betting appear on US Sportsbonus.

As well as easy comparison of sports betting sites and their bonuses, US Sportsbonus will constantly add extensive, in-depth sportsbook reviews of new online sportsbooks to guarantee you are offered the best online betting websites on the US market.

While it’s handy to quickly compare welcome bonuses between various sites, bettors are also interested in the detail behind such sports betting bonuses. For instance, what wagering requirements must be fulfilled before winnings can be redeemed on the bonus? Typically, not all games or forms of betting contribute the same amount to the wagering requirements. Sometimes there is a cap on withdrawals from bonus winnings. So, the detail is useful.

In each sportsbook review we look at the game selection offered and the odds pricing set for all betting markets. Odds variances can sometimes be larger than you would expect and betting on sports betting sites with great odds will make your sports betting adventures more profitable on the long term. The number of in-play markets is another important factor we evaluate in every sportsbook review.

Sports gamblers take an interest in other aspects of online sports betting websites. These might include the level of customer support on offer, how they can contact the site (e.g. live chat, phone, email), how responsive the site is in the event of problems, the reputation of the company behind the site, the facilities and the user interface of the site. Number of Banking options (for deposit and withdrawal) and their conditions are also significant.

US Sportsbonus will give sports pundits the low-down on the growing number of sports betting sites across the US. They can quickly see what’s on offer from each site, then dig deeper and find out more about reputation and conditions. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each site? One of the beauties of a betting comparison site is that it helps bettors to cherry-pick the best features of each website. Nobody needs to stick to one site only.

On top of reviewing all sports betting books in the US we also take a closer look at all the best sports betting apps. We guide you through the downloading process and system requirements needed for each sports betting app, the look and feel of the app and compare the products offered to the desktop version.

The US sports betting landscape is constantly changing and we follow the development in every single US state regarding sports betting and online sports betting.  We walk you through the history of sports betting state by state. Since we only work with legal online sports betting sites, our recommended US sports betting sites will be limited to the states with legal online sports betting.

We offer extensive betting guides – sports betting explained from A to Z. Get a better understanding on how betting works and how to think when betting on the NFL, NBA, MLB and all the other popular sports in the US.
