Betting on Sports Online
Sportsbooks let you gamble on a multitude of sports and markets. Choose from major UK or US sports like football, hockey and basketball, or find odds on the biggest soccer leagues overseas. Online sportsbooks tend not to offer horse racing, so you’ll have to join an ADW (Advanced Deposit Wagering) site instead.

US Sports Betting Laws
Some US states had been eyeing up sports betting legislation since 2013 when New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada legalized online casinos.
However, it wasn’t until 2018 when the Supreme Court overturned PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) 1992, a federal law banning betting on single games. With the law gone, individual states were free to legalize full betting on sports.
In 2021, there are many states that now offer legal and regulated sports betting. Some states issue licenses to online and mobile operators working in partnership with existing land-based casinos. Some states that have no brick ‘n mortar sportsbooks offer mobile-only betting options.
In addition, many states allow betting on college sports. However, there are some restrictions, particularly on college sides playing in their home state.
Mobile Betting Apps
In fact, some states only permit mobile apps rather than full online sports betting portals. Download a dedicated mobile sports betting app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) to gamble on your smartphone or tablet. The sportsbook lobby and bet slip will be specially adapted to work on your smaller handset.
