How and Where to Bet Sports Online
There are a number of different ways to make a bet online for sporting events in the United States in 2020.
While traditional gamblers might still rely on brick and mortar shops or telephone betting services, the most common way these days is betting via websites.
There are hundreds of sites where players can make a bet online nationwide. Many are traditional staples of the sports betting market such as William Hill or Bet365. Some have pivoted from the explosion of DFS such as DraftKings and FanDuel. While others still are looking to make a name for themselves in the new online market such as Sugarhouse and PointsBet.
Using these online sportsbooks has become the most popular option for many reasons including the ease of use. They are far and away the easiest and most convenient way to wager on sports in the 21st century.
Frankly, all you need to do is be in a state that offers legalized sports betting online, find a site you like and sign up to bet online. We understand that states who have legalized online sports betting and the website operating those states are in constant flux. With that in mind, we thought it best to keep an updated list of states offering online sports betting and the websites that operate within them.
