First, they’re reliable.
Casinos, racetracks and off-track betting parlors (OTBs) have been approved to open retail and online sportsbooks if licensed by the Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC). Most such facilities have wisely chosen to take advantage of the opportunity and now hold sports betting licenses.
The state has approved the construction of twelve sportsbooks at casinos and three at OTB locations. Additionally, each approved license holder may operate up to three individual mobile sportsbooks (also known as “skins”).
This page will provide a continuously-updated list of Indiana sportsbooks along with other information such as launch dates, operating hours and so on as it becomes known. We’ll start with a list of online sportsbooks and follow that with a look at each retail sportsbook.
Mobile Sportsbooks in Indiana
Update: Mobile sports betting is now live in Indiana. DraftKings and BetRivers were approved to go live on October 3rd, 2019 and now offer online betting across the state. FanDuel followed suit less than a month later and BetAmerica came online in the final days of 2019. BetMGM and PointsBet joined the party in early 2020.
Under Indiana sports betting law, each licensee may partner with third-party service providers to operate up to three online sportsbooks. In this manner, experienced providers such as DraftKings and FanDuel may partner with land-based sportsbooks for access to the Indiana market.
The law in Indiana encouraged many applicants, giving bettors no shortage of choice. Reasonable license fees ($100K) and a 9.5% tax rate make Indiana an attractive market for sports betting operators.
The IGC oversees mobile betting in Indiana and has issued licenses to numerous sportsbook apps to date. Most of the big names in online betting are either already active in Indiana or will be soon. With each licensee allowed to operate up to three skins, there will be no shortage of slots for experienced providers to enter the Indiana betting market.
DraftKings Indiana

- IGC Status: Approved; now offering mobile betting in Indiana
- Partnered with: Ameristar East Chicago
DraftKings is partnered with Ameristar East Chicago to offer online betting in Indiana. After receiving a license from the Indiana Gaming Commission and approval to launch mobile betting, DraftKings Sportsbook went live in October 2019.
Now, DraftKings offers a full menu of mobile betting to Hoosier State residents and visitors. This includes standard pre-game wagers, in-play betting and special promotions for mobile and desktop users alike.
DraftKings will likely emerge as one of the dominant mobile betting apps in Indiana given its massive success in New Jersey. Additionally, DraftKings will benefit from name recognition and an established userbase due to its previous operations as one of the country’s two leading daily fantasy sites.
BetRivers Indiana
- Website: www.betrivers.com
- IGC Status: Approved; now offering mobile betting in Indiana
- Partnered with: French Lick Resort
Rush Street Interactive holds a sports wagering license in Indiana and has been approved to work in partnership with French Lick Resort. BetRivers Indiana launched mobile betting in Indiana in October 2019 on the same day DraftKings went live.

Over in New Jersey, FanDuel has taken the lead as the most popular online sportsbook in terms of revenue and will be looking to do the same in Indiana.
FanDuel’s partnerships with Blue Chip Casino and Belterra Resort derive from a larger agreement FanDuel reached with Boyd Gaming in 2018. Under that agreement, the two companies have a deal in place to partner on sports betting in states where Boyd Gaming operates casinos when favorable legislation is enacted.
BetMGM

PointsBet Indiana
- Website: https://pointsbet.com
- IGC Status: Approved; Live as of 5 March 2020
- Partnered with: Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg
Australian firm PointsBet first came to the US by way of New Jersey and offers a unique type of sports betting not yet offered anywhere else. In addition to offering standard sports wagers, PointsBet also allows users to place bets that offer variable payouts based on the accuracy of the prediction.
For example, consider a point total wager on an NBA game. If you were to place a PointsBet wager on this market, you would choose not only the over or under but also choose an amount to wager per point.
Imagine placing a wager of $1 per point on the over for a game in which the total is 205 points. If you’re right, you’ll be paid $1 for every point the final score goes over 205. If the final total ends up being 220 points, you would be paid $15.
Of course, this can also go against you. Get it wrong and you’ll be losing $1 for every point under 205 that the actual total ends up being. To continue our example, imagine the actual total ends up being 190 points. In that case, you would lose $15.
The Indiana Gaming Commission issued a sports betting license to PointsBet in January 2020 and the sportsbook launched two months later.

theScore also provides nice crossover functionality between its popular media app and the sportsbook app, offering the ability to place wagers in the sportsbook and then follow the media app for detailed live updates.
SBK Sportsbook
- IGC Status: Pending
- Partnered with: Full House Resorts (Rising Star Casino)
SBK Sportsbook is a unique betting site operated by Smarkets, which itself is an international exchange betting operator. What makes SBK different than other sportsbooks is the ability to offer much lower-than-average commissions compared to traditional betting sites by taking odds straight from the Smarkets exchange and importing them into SBK to give customers better odds.
SBK also includes a social element allowing customers to share and view tips among one another. This will allow customers to view who’s hot, who is on a winning streak and even compete against one another on leaderboards to see who really is the best at making smart picks.
Smarkets announced a partnership with Full House Resorts in September 2019.
WynnBET
- IGC Status: Pending
- Partnered with: Full House Resorts (Rising Star Casino)
WynnBET plans to enter the Indiana sports betting market soon. Wynn Resorts International has a partnership with BetBull, which will provide technology and risk management services. An early version of WynnBET launched in New Jersey as a standard online sportsbook, but the company indicates it has bigger plans in store to provide a uniquely social experience.
It’s possible, WynnBET will borrow heavily from BetBull’s social betting platform. In essence, BetBull is what you would get if you combined a regular online sportsbok with Facebook or Twitter. Every user has a custom profile, can follow other users, and share tips with one another.
The WynnBET path into Indiana comes through a series of two separate partnerships. First was a partnership reached between BetBull and Wynn Resorts International reached in October 2018. Under that agreement, Wynn Resorts acquired a 22.5% stake in BetBull. Second was a partnership reached between Wynn Resorts International and Full House Resorts one year later.

In Indiana, FOX Bet has two primary pathways into the market. A deal struck between The Stars Group and Eldorado Resorts could see FOX Bet launch in partnership with Tropicana Evansville. An alternate deal reached between Penn National and The Stars Group could also see FOX Bet launch in partnership with Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg.
888Sport
888Sport is one of the world’s largest mobile sport betting and online gambling operators. The company has a long track record and comes to Indiana with a wealth of experience.

Address:
4300 N. Michigan Rd.
Shelbyville, IN 46176

Majestic Star Casino was the last to join the list of Indiana casinos with sports betting licenses, leading to some speculation it would forgo applying for a sportsbook. The two Majestic Star Casino boats are slated to move inland and rebrand as a singular Hard Rock Casino in Gary.
That plan is still in place, but it seems Majestic Star parent company Spectacle Entertainment will be wasting no time adding sports betting to the menu. In September 2019, the Indiana Gaming Commission issued a sports wagering license to Majestic Star.
Other plans for the new casino include the construction of a $300 million facility complete with 225,000 square feet of gaming space, 2,000 slot machines, a Hard Rock Café, Hard Rock Live music venue and much more.

However, Four Winds officials have reportedly asked Gov. Holcomb to negotiate the casino being able to add sports betting and table games. Four Winds may eventually get involved at some point.

Online sports betting has never been more popular. Today in 2021 online sports betting is a billion dollar business for US citizens. The good news is that there are proven reputable, legit and trustworthy online sportsbooks you can gamble with right now no matter where you live in the USA. The following sports betting websites are absolutely the best in the business. I have been working with them for years (decades now for some sportsbooks like Bovada and Intertops) and you can be assured that you are getting competitive odds, fair bets and when you win you get paid.
You should avoid most online sportsbooks as a precautionary measure. If you are going to gamble online then know that these sportsbooks are the top betting sites in the industry and they have maintained a positive reputation for US bettors for many, many years.
We all have our favorites.
Do you support the home team or are you one of those people?
Honest Sports Betting Sites US Players Allowed
They say a rising tide lifts all boats. To that end, the entire online sports betting industry is seeing a massive influx of money. But the industry’s growth poses a problem. It’s difficult to know which USA-friendly sports betting sites are safe, reliable and trustworthy.
Here’s the good news: we’ve done the heavy lifting for you. This site not only provides you with an easy-to-use list of the top U.S. sports gambling sites, but it also keeps that list updated.
We have no qualms about dropping sportsbooks that fail to meet our standards.
Bovada
Bovada is hard to beat. They’re like the Amazon of the sports betting industry. They host lines and spreads in practically every sport you can imagine placing wagers on, from football and baseball to horse racing, cricket and darts. In addition, they’ll help you get started with a 50% matching bonus up to $250.
Making deposits is simple.
List Of Nevada Sportsbooks
Bovada accepts credit cards, bitcoin, Western Union payments and person-to-person transfers. The also accept Bitcoin Cash and are a crypto friendly online sportsbook so I expect this list to increase over time.
They also pay without fail.
If you win and make a withdrawal, you’ll receive payment. Period.
How much do you have to wager per bet at Bovada?
If you bet online, the minimum bet is $1. That’s as low as it goes. Maybe you just want to have a little fun.
By the way, you may be familiar with the name “Bodog”. They managed to maintain a bulletproof reputation as an online sportsbook for USA players years ago. Bovada is run by the same folks..
Read our detailed bovada sports review for more information about our top rated sportsbook for US gamblers.
BetOnline
BetOnline is a great option. They take players from all 50 US states (Bovada has a few restrictions) and offer quality customer support, big bonuses and maintain a fantastic reputation. Especially if you’re a high-roller or bettor who knows how to squeeze maximum mileage from the bonuses. They allow some of the highest betting limits in the industry. For example, NFL straight bets (or sides) can be wagered up to $25,000.
You can opt to receive a 50% matching bonus up to $1,000. Note that the bonus is anchored by a 10X rollover requirement. That shouldn’t pose an issue if you’re an active bettor or willing to stake large sums. There are a ton of on-going Betonline promotions which you can keep up to date with here or just check the promotions page on the official website.
BetOnline offers lines and spreads on as many sports as Bovada. They also have a reputation for speedy payouts. One of the ways BetOnline stands apart from the pack is by offering a range of withdrawal options. You can receive your winnings via Bitcoin, Western Union, bank wire, book-to-book transfer or check.
Don’t be intimidated by BetOnline’s high maximum betting limits. The site is still one of the best USA sportsbooks for beginning and intermediate bettors. You can wager as little as $1.
This company has been involved in sports betting for nearly 15 years. That’s important. Sportsbooks don’t enjoy that type of longevity without being dependable and responsive to their customers. Learn more in my comprehensive is Betonline legit review.
Bookmaker
List Of Sportsbooks Online
Bookmaker is one of the oldest online sportsbooks. The company launched in 1985. That’s 36 years of history in an industry known for its lack of constancy1 Although Bovada and BetOnline manage to score a bit higher on our list of the top sportsbooks for USA bettors, Bookmaker isn’t far behind.
First, they’re reliable. You never have to worry about whether you’ll receive your withdrawals.
Second, they’re flexible. You can deposit funds via credit cards, bank wires, person-to-person transfers, eWallet transfers, Western Union or physical check. If you deposit $300 or more, Bookmaker will even cover your Western Union fees.
You can make withdrawals via debit cards, bank wires, person-to-person transfers and check.
One of the areas we feel Bookmaker could be better is with its new account bonus. When you register a new account, you can receive a 15% matching bonus up to $600 plus 50% for the casino, up to $1000 for a grand total of $1600. This does come with a 5x rollover requirement for the sportsbook portion and a 40x rollover requirement for the casino portion.
Read our detailed review of Bookmaker:
When you win you will get paid.
Billions of dollars are wagered each year as bettors put action on the NFL, NBA, MLB and many other sports. The top USA sportsbooks, including Bovada, BetOnline, Bookmaker, and FortuneJack are all experiencing growth and continued loyalty from their long time bettors.
Above you’ll find a current list of the best online sportsbooks that accept USA players. We’ll highlight important details for each one and provide links to in-depth reviews that contain more information.
Making A Deposit – Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, or Crypto (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum etc)
Credit cards are the easiest way for you to deposit. When they work that is.
Today US gamblers are moving to crypto currency. Bettors like you and I need to get into the digital age of crypto’s. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin.
Cryptocurrencies are the safest, fastest and easiest way to gamble online for real money from anywhere in the world.
If you already own bitcoin or another crypto then all you need to do is register at the site and send the crypto to the betting sites deposit address they provide you.
If you do not yet own bitcoin, don’t worry it’s easy.
I’m going to quickly explain how to do this.
The steps needed to buy bitcoin
- Go to Coinbase.com, buy bitcoin (credit card or bank transfer will work).
- Go to Greenaddress.it, create a bitcoin wallet (you need this to hold the bitcoin you buy from coinbase).
- Send your bitcoin from Coinbase to Greenaddress.it – do not skip this step. (There will be a small fee to transfer to your greenaddress wallet but this is an essential step. Coinbase does not allow you to interact with an online casino, they will shut you down if you send or receive directly to an online casino or sportsbook. This is why you need to use Greenaddress.it or your own personal e-wallet to send and receive bitcoin from casinos.
- Create your account at a sportsbook of your choice, visit the deposit/cashier area and choose bitcoin for deposits.
- The sportsbook will provide you a bitcoin address to send your bitcoin to (they will provide a qr code for your phone to scan). Copy the deposit address.
- Open your greenaddress wallet which will now hold your bitcoin and send bitcoin to the sports betting site.
- Your deposit will be credited to your account.
- Bet, gamble, have fun
- When you are ready to cash out, visit the sites cashier and click withdraw and choose bitcoin as your method
- Now they will ask you for a bitcoin address to send the bitcoin to – so you open up your greenaddress wallet, create a new receiving address and provide that to the sportsbooks cashier.
- Verify the details and withdrawal amount and click the finish withdrawal button
- The sportsbook sends you the bitcoin back to your wallet
- From there you can do what you choose with it – keep it, spend it or turn it back into US dollars
- If you want to cash out to fiat currency, you will again use coinbase. This is why you don’t want to burn your account here by using the built in wallet for gambling.
- Send your greenaddress bitcoin to coinbase. Do not send directly to coinbase from a casino.
- There are other wallets if you don’t like Greenaddress. You could find a handful to choose from but I would start out with one you are comfortable is safe. If you plan to be in crypto for a while then get a hardware wallet like the Ledger or Trezor.io.
- If Coinbase won’t work, there are Bitcoin ATM’s popping up all over
5 Tips For Choosing The Best Online USA Sportsbook
Thus far, I’ve given you a short list of the top sportsbooks for players living in the U.S. There are hundreds of others. At some point, you may be tempted to try a few. Use the following tips for selecting a site that won’t leave you feeling disappointed.
Test The Site’s Customer Support
You may never need to speak with a sportsbook’s support staff. But if you do, you’ll want them to respond promptly and professionally to your questions.
Before making your first deposit, contact the site’s service reps. Do it on the phone and via email. Make sure they’re responsive before you sign up.
Review the Site’s Deposit/Withdrawal Options
Some sites accept Bitcoin. Others don’t. Some charge high fees on withdrawals. Others process payouts with minimal fees. Some accept funds transfers from other sportsbooks. Others require “new” money.
This is strictly a matter of preference. If you’re a Bitcoin user, check whether the sportsbook you’re considering accepts them.
Take The Welcome Bonus With A Grain Of Salt
List Of Nj Sportsbooks
Sportsbooks use new member bonuses to compel people to join. It’s a great strategy that has always worked well.
The problem is, a lot of people forget they have to earn out the bonus. That’s what the rollover requirement is for.
To be sure, if you’re a heavy or consistent bettor, meeting the rollover requirement won’t be a challenge for you. But if you’re only betting $5 a $10 a day, it’s going to take time.
Look For The Best Lines
Don’t assume the lines posted at one site are mirrored at every other site. They vary, sometimes dramatically so. That’s why a lot of experienced sports bettors go line shopping. They seek the best odds, knowing they can increase their likelihood of a win.
BookMaker is often the first book out of the gate when it comes to posting new lines and spreads. Compare them with Bovada, BetOnline and any other site you’re thinking about using.
Only Use Financially-Strong Sportsbooks
In a way, sportsbooks are like insurance companies. Some have substantial financial backing. Others are little more than fly-by-night ventures that operate on the precipice of bankruptcy.
List Of Sportsbooks In America
If you’re wagering large sums, definitely stick to sports betting sites with strong financial ratings. All of the sportsbooks on our list are rated at the top of the pile in this area. You’ll never need to worry about the sites’ solvency.
If you choose to play at lesser-known sites, be aware that you’re taking a risk.
Register An Account At The Top U.S. Sportsbooks
Twenty-five years ago NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue remarked, “We do not want our games to be used as bait to sell gambling.” A year later, sports betting was made illegal in nearly every state in the U.S. except Nevada and a few others.
Times have changed.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver opined in late 2014 that “Congress should adopt a federal framework that allows states to authorize betting on professional sports.” He estimated the amount wagered each year was close to $400 billion.
Silver’s claim might be overreaching, but his opinion reflects that of a growing number of sports betting fans. One thing is clear: more people than ever are registering accounts at sites like Bovada, BetOnline, and Bookmaker.
