How we rank sportsbooks

Every state guide ranks operators on four dimensions:

• Market depth — number of markets, prop coverage, alternate lines, futures availability.
• Line quality — how close operator pricing tracks sharp-consensus de-vigged fair lines. Lower hold = better customer outcomes long-run.
• Bonus value — welcome offer size, ongoing promo cadence, rollover terms (lower rollover = more cash-equivalent value).
• Account-treatment policies — limit thresholds, withdrawal speed, customer service responsiveness.

Rankings reflect our independent assessment. Operators do not pay for placement. The same operator that ranks #1 in NY may rank #3 in another state because state-specific market depth and promo offers differ.
