About Us

You must be 21 or older to use sportsbooks in most US states, and some states or operators set other limits. Betting involves risk, and you can lose money. If gambling stops being fun, call the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Texas residents can also find state resources through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Council on Problem Gambling.

Sportsbook Promos is an independent guide to sportsbook bonuses and betting promotions for US readers. We explain what an offer is actually worth once you read the fine print. That means the rollover, the minimum odds, the expiration date and the payment methods that qualify. This page covers who we are, how we review, how the site is funded and where our limits are.

Why this site exists

A headline like "125% up to $1,250" tells you very little. It doesn't say whether you get cashable funds, bonus bets or site credit. It doesn't say how many times you must wager the money or how long you have to do it. We built Sportsbook Promos to put those details next to the offer so you can compare like with like.

We write for several kinds of readers:

• Casual fans who want to know whether a first-bet offer is worth the effort.
• Experienced bettors who compare rollover and minimum-odds friction.
• Bonus hunters who follow odds boosts, reloads and event-driven promotions.
• Newcomers who need a plain walkthrough of how to claim a promo code and clear it.

What we cover

Our pages look at the main promotion types you will run into:

• Deposit matches: the sportsbook adds a percentage of your deposit up to a cap.
• Free bets and bonus bets: wagers the sportsbook funds, often with stake-not-returned rules.
• First-bet insurance and parlay insurance: a refund, often in bonus bets, if a qualifying wager loses.
• Odds boosts and reload bonuses: ongoing offers for existing customers.
• No-deposit bonuses: rare, and always worth checking for restrictions.

We also explain the betting basics behind the offers: moneylines, point spreads, totals, futures, parlays, same-game parlays, props and live betting. Understanding these helps you judge whether a promotion's conditions suit how you bet. We also look at sports coverage across the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, soccer, golf, MMA and horse racing.

How we review and rank offers

Our reviews are desk research. We read the terms each operator publishes and compare them with each other. We have not claimed to deposit, wager or withdraw money as part of these reviews, so we don't describe payout speeds as tested results. Where a figure comes from an operator, we treat it as advertising, not a confirmed fact.

The criteria we weigh are:

1. Size and structure of the offer, and whether it pays out as cash, bonus bets or site credit.
2. Rollover or wagering requirements attached to the bonus.
3. Minimum odds, eligible markets and expiration windows.
4. Which payment methods qualify. Some offers change depending on how you fund the account.
5. Range of sports and markets.
6. Clarity of the terms, and how easy it is to reach support.

Each sportsbook gets an editorial rating. It is our own assessment and is not a customer-review score. The ratings shown on the ranked cards at the top of our pages are the result of this process. Facts on this page were last checked on September 29, 2026, and promotions change often, so always confirm current terms on the operator's own site.

How we earn money

Sportsbook Promos may earn a commission if you sign up with a sportsbook through our links. That's how the site is funded. Commission does not buy position: operators can't pay to raise a rating or change a ranking, and we include drawbacks for every option we recommend.

What you should know before you claim anything

The sportsbooks featured on our ranked lists are online operators that market to US bettors. Several are offshore. Offshore sites don't give you the consumer protections of a state-licensed sportsbook. If a dispute arises or a site fails to pay, you may have no recourse through a US state regulator. Legal availability varies by state and can change, so check the rules where you live. Taxes on winnings are a matter for a professional. We can't give legal or tax advice.

• Read the full terms before you deposit, including the rollover and the expiration date.
• Check that your payment method qualifies for the bonus.
• Only bet money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses or treat a bonus as a reason to bet more.
• No offer, tip or pick guarantees a win or a profit. Betting is not a source of income.

Our responsible gambling page covers limits, self-exclusion and where to get help. The terms and conditions explain how you may use this site.
