A US operator with a DFS product (33 states + DC) and a sportsbook licensed only in Ohio
Visit Betr →Betr welcome bonus in United States
Context for United States: The United States regulates online gambling state by state, not nationally, so an offer on this page is only claimable if you are physically located in a state where that operator holds a licence - most US states license no online casino or poker at all. Check the state, not the country. The Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement lets state-regulated poker operators pool players across state lines; as of April 2026 its members are Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Nevada also requires an online operator to partner with an in-state casino, keeping its poker market small. SWEEPSTAKES CASINOS ARE A SEPARATE, RAPIDLY CLOSING CATEGORY: dual-currency sites (Gold Coins to play, Sweeps Coins redeemable for cash) are being banned outright, not regulated, in a growing list of states including Montana, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, California, Nevada, Maine, Indiana and Oklahoma. Sources disagree on the exact total, so check your own state rather than any single figure - and note these laws can reach payment processors and affiliates too, not just the operator.

Our verdict
Betr operates two genuinely distinct US products: Betr Picks, a daily fantasy sports (DFS) product, and a traditional sportsbook genuinely licensed but currently limited to Ohio only. New customers get a $10 instant bonus on signup, and promo codes can unlock up to $200 in No Sweat Bets or Betr Bucks plus a free pick. A real, disclosed governance concern: co-founder Jake Paul formally withdrew his Ohio gaming licence application (approved in one day, without explanation) while publicly claiming continued founder involvement on video, alongside a 2021 SEC settlement and a Massachusetts regulator's specific underage-appeal concern. BBB records 55 complaints in 3 years, and Trustpilot documents a serious unauthorized-transaction fraud report and an account-locked-after-win pattern.

How we rated it
Bonuses & value (18%)6.8
Clear $10 instant signup bonus plus promo codes unlocking up to $200 in No Sweat Bets/Betr Bucks and a free pick, with a fast 1x wagering requirement.
Sportsbook / DFS (36%)6
Two distinct products with different legal availability: Betr Picks (DFS) in most states, and a traditional sportsbook licensed only in Ohio — a genuine complexity worth understanding before signing up.
Trust & licensing (27%)4
A real governance concern, independently confirmed via investigative reporting: co-founder Jake Paul formally withdrew his Ohio gaming licence application, with Betr's own regulatory affairs director stating he 'no longer has control' — approved by regulators in one day, without explanation — while Paul has publicly claimed continued founder involvement on video. Paul also carries a 2021 SEC cryptocurrency settlement, and a Massachusetts commissioner voted against Betr's approval specifically over underage-appeal concerns.
Customer support (18%)3.5
BBB records 55 complaints in the last 3 years (technical/game issues, misleading promotions, disputed withdrawals). Trustpilot documents a serious unauthorized-transaction fraud report ($12,700 across 83 transactions) and a pattern of accounts being locked shortly after a win-driven withdrawal request.
