What We Look For In An Online Sportsbook

There are many different online sportsbooks out there on the market. We here at SportsBetting.Legal has a thorough screening process that is used with each online sportsbook we come across. If the sportsbook does not meet our quality assurance standards, we do not promote it to our audience. Below is a breakdown of what we look for in our online sportsbooks reviews:

Legal Licensing

Operators need a license from a reputable government to be considered legitimate. This licensing can come from the federal, state, or international levels. There are very few exceptions to this standard, but they do exist.  There are trusted sportsbooks that legally rely on the credentials of their parent company, which holds legitimate licensing in one or more jurisdictions and has a history of reputable service and stability in the industry, as well as trusted brands that are based inside of a recognized governing jurisdiction that requires only a business license to operate legitimately. We do not have a problem including these bookmakers in our recommendations, provided they successfully meet our rigorous review standards and we have a long history with them.

Regulations

Regulations are what keep sports betting operators in check. With proper regulatory oversight in place, you can rest assured that the site you are using is a legal entity.

Betting Line Selection

There are a lot of sports out there, and we want to make sure these sites offer a wide range of them.

Wagering Type Variance

From point spreads to props, we require that our sportsbook recommendations offer a solid range of wagering types.

Strong Security Profile

We verify that our recommended sportsbooks employ advanced data encryption protocols to safeguard your personal and financial information.

Reliable Customer Support

We only recommend sportsbooks with 24/7 phone, email, and live chat support from a responsive, knowledgeable customer service team.

Generous Bonus Incentives

We require that any sportsbook included in this guide present wagering requirements and terms and conditions that are reasonable, attainable, and in line with industry standards.

Accommodating Banking Suite

We check whether these online sportsbooks accept USA-friendly deposit methods and whether transactions are handled securely and efficiently.

The SportsBetting.Legal Commitment

The legalities of sports betting are complex and include certain licenses, regulations, stipulations, and legislation. SportsBetting.Legal promises users that every effort is made to ensure the information provided on this site is accurate and reflects the current state of legal sports betting in the USA.

We believe that regulations and compliance with those regulations promote safe and legitimate online sports betting opportunities, which is what we are striving to support. All of the recommended sportsbooks featured on this site have been screened for both proper licensing and regulations and will provide a safe betting experience.

Keeping In The Know With U.S.A. Legal Sports Betting

Things happen fast with US sports betting legality. As PASPA was repealed, the first few months of 2018 proved momentous for sports gambling legalization. Multiple states have passed legislation introducing legal betting options, and that list continues to grow. We have a News section that provides updates on ongoing legalization efforts across states. Be sure to check our News Section frequently, as we are updating regularly.

Clarification On Offshore Legality

You will often see the phrase “offshore sportsbooks” throughout our content. The reason we push these offshore sportsbooks so heavily is that they are the only viable legal online sports betting option in many states across the US. We only recommend offshore bookmakers that are operating legally within the industry and that have established themselves as a trusted, reputable brand over time.

Responsible Gambling Practices

Every member of the SportsBetting.Legal team believes that responsible gambling is absolutely the only safe way to approach betting entertainment either online or offline.  We strongly encourage compliance with all relevant gambling laws and a healthy, responsible approach to betting entertainment.  We believe that underage gambling is detrimental to all involved and that legal gambling ages should be enforced.

We promote responsible gambling and will never knowingly support a gambling addiction.  If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling addiction or is struggling with problem gambling, we encourage you to seek out help through the National Council on Problem Gambling, a local chapter of a gambling addiction support group, or a professional treatment center.  The NCPG can be reached anonymously online: www.ncpgambling.org or by phone: 1–800–522–4700.
