There’s no national sports betting licence in the US. Since the Supreme Court overturned the federal ban in 2018, each state has decided whether to allow sports betting, and on what terms. State gaming regulators, such as the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and the Michigan Gaming Control Board, license each sportsbook separately.
That means a sportsbook can be legal in one state and unavailable in the next. Licensed sportsbooks check your location every time you bet, and they have to:
We checked each sportsbook against state regulators’ published lists of licensed online operators. A state appears on a listing only when we could confirm it from the regulator or the operator’s own state information. If a state you’d expect is missing, it means we haven’t confirmed it yet, not that the sportsbook is unavailable there. We add states as we verify them.
The list is in our editorial order until our hands-on tests are complete. Then each sportsbook gets a score out of 10 from our rating method.
American odds (-110, +150) are the standard in the US. On point spreads and totals, the usual price is -110 on both sides; books that regularly offer -105 or better are giving you better value. Our odds converter and margin calculator help you compare.
Most US books have deep same-game parlay and player prop menus for the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. Parlays pay more because every leg has to win, and the margin builds up on each leg. See how the numbers work with our parlay calculator.
US sign-up offers are usually bonus bets or a “second chance” bet. Check whether bonus bets return the stake, the minimum odds, and when they expire.
Debit cards, PayPal, online banking and Play+ prepaid cards are common. Withdrawal speed varies a lot by book and method, so check before you deposit.

It depends on your state. Since the Supreme Court struck down the federal ban in 2018, each state decides for itself. As of November 2026, online sports betting is legal in 32 states and Washington, DC, though a few of those allow only limited or tribal operators.
21 in every state where the sportsbooks on this page operate.
No. Licensed sportsbooks use geolocation to check you're physically inside a legal state when you place a bet. You can open an account elsewhere with some books, but you can only bet once you're in a legal state.
Yes. Gambling winnings are taxable income under federal law, and most states tax them too. Sportsbooks may send you a tax form for larger wins. Check with a tax adviser for your situation.
Offshore sportsbooks aren't licensed by any US state, so you have no regulator to turn to if they refuse to pay out. Several state regulators have issued warnings and cease-and-desist letters to them. We don't list them.
