The best sportsbooks right now
Every regulated US sportsbook offers a welcome bonus to new users, but the apps differ in markets, pricing, rewards and payout speed. We rate FanDuel best all-around, Caesars best for rewards and its first-bet safety net, Fanatics best for a forgiving welcome offer, and BetRivers best for loyalty and sharp pricing.

How sportsbook bonuses work
Welcome offers come in two main shapes. A "bet and get" gives you bonus bets after you place a small qualifying wager (e.g. bet $5, get $200). A first-bet safety net refunds your first bet in bonus bets if it loses (e.g. up to $1,000). Bonus bets are not withdrawable cash - you wager them and keep any winnings.
Why you should have more than one
The single most reliable edge in betting is line shopping: betting the best available price on every game. You can only do that with accounts at several books. Having multiple apps also means you can claim multiple welcome bonuses and always have the best number a tap away on our betting splits and odds pages.
Bet the best line
Once you're signed up, use our free tools to find the best number before every bet: live betting splits show where the sharp money is, and our per-sport odds pages show the best price across books with click-to-bet.
