BetUS Review

Summary 4/5

“America’s favorite sportsbook” BetUS started out in 1994 and is soon approaching its 30th year in the sports betting industry. As their trademark suggests, BetUS is one of the top bookmakers in the United States. The sportsbook is licensed in Curaçao and accepts wagers from more than one million bettors worldwide. They operate every second of every day and offer extensive support to clients with their round-the-clock staff.

They have casino offerings from blackjack all the way to roulette. To help bettors out, they even have a segment called ‘The Locker Room’, which offers news, insights, and predictions for all your needs. From traditional horse races to football and now esports games, BetUS is a tried-and-true bookie that continues to serve regions across the world with dependable odds – no matter the sport.

Registration Process 4/5

The registration process in BetUS is straightforward, provided that you are a resident in a country where the bookmaker is licensed to operate in.

Always remember that it is your responsibility to find out what laws on gambling apply in your country of residence. But as stated in their terms and conditions, BetUS prohibits bettors from the Netherlands, Costa Rica, Panama, Curaçao, Germany, France, Philippines, the UK, Belgium, and Ukraine.

But should you be eligible for registration, all you must do is join, then follow their two-step process.

Step 1. Click on ‘Join’ in the upper-right corner of the site and fill out the required personal and contact information.

Step 2. Fill out your address and create your password. Then, you’re good to go!

Deposits and Withdrawal Options 2/5

BetUS offers bettors a number of ways to deposit their hard-earned cash. Whether through cash deposits, credit card, or even crypto, BetUS makes it clear that your money is welcome to be spent in its sportsbook.

However, this bookie falls short when it comes to its payout method. Right from the start, BetUS does not have a clear process for their withdrawals stated in their FAQ. To initiate your payout, you must call their live agents and go through an entire process of confirming your identity to withdraw your funds. This makes the withdraw process take way too long which, in comparison with competing bookmakers, is disappointing.

Open Account Offer 4/5

BetUS offers new users a generous 125% sign-up bonus, which is divided into a 100% bonus in its sportsbook and 25% in its casino. The minimum deposit is $100 and for sports bets, you can get a bonus of up to $2,500 with a 10x rollover. On the other hand, the casino bonus reaches up to $625 with a 30x rollover and a max cash-out of $2,500. Their promo expires within 14 days of using the promotional code as stated in their terms and conditions.

For their ‘to the moon’ bettors, BetUS has generous sign-up bonuses for crypto deposits. For example, their code JOIN200 unlocks a 100% bonus on a user’s next two crypto deposits with a minimum depusit of $100 up to a maximum of $2,500. Like its earlier sign-up bonuses, it has a 14-day expiry and is equivalent to a 150% bonus for sports and 50% for casino bets. The sports bonus has a 15x rollover, whereas the casino bonus has a 30x rollover.

Furthermore, they have another 10% cash bonus and 20% casino bonus which can be redeemed on every deposit. The minimum deposit is $100 with the maximum deposit being $2,500. There is only a three-time rollover for the 10% cash bonus so it can be appealing to new clients. However, always read the terms and conditions in detail so you don’t end up being ineligible to claim your sign-up bonuses.

Sportsbook Promotions 4/5

On the daily, BetUS offers day-to-day promotions for its casino games, such as up to $500 back on Blackjack Mondays or one free spin for every dollar deposited on Free Spins Friday. From Monday to Saturday, you will always have a promotion to squeeze every drop of your money’s worth.

Those who can refer their friends into playing on BetUS can receive up to $6,000, with a 100% bonus up to $2,000 on their first three deposits. This referral bonus is split 50-50 between sportsbook and casino, which have their own terms and conditions, such as rollover and playthrough requirements.

Besides this bonus, referrals get an entry into their raffle contest to win big prizes such as $500 gift cards, smart watches, and smart TVs.

Loyalty Programmes

For their loyal bettors, BetUS launched the BetUS Rewards that offers a tiered rewards programme, where you can earn points and unlock exclusive rewards. All you must do is deposit money (at least $50) into your account to start earning points as all members are automatically enrolled.

You can get free payouts, free monthly tournament entries, bigger bonuses, and an exclusive toll-free number by progressing in the rewards programme. There are six tiers – from Blue all the way to Black – which even come with an extra deposit bonus of up to 10%.

Pre-Match Offer 5/5

As mentioned, BetUS has a wide collection of offerings which include your run-of-the-mill sports like baseball and football to betting odds on politics and the Academy Awards.

In esports, the bookmaker has all the S-tier titles like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, and Dota 2. They have upcomers like VALORANT and Rainbow Six Siege, as well as old favourites such as Starcraft II and NBA 2K, plus mobile esports titles including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Brawl Stars, and Wild Rift.

The vig/margin for their odds range around 6% per bet, which is acceptable amongst esports bookmakers. For your convenience, BetUS offers these odds in the format of your choosing — whether American, decimal, fractional, or Hong Kong. Furthermore, they allow you to choose what time zone and what language you see their betting markets.

Types of Bets

Across these games, you can place a number of bets ranging from the classic match winners, total bets, handicap bets, prop or special bets, and outright bets. In the League of Legends World Championship, for example, you can place bets such as the team to secure First Blood or destroy the first inhibitor. You can even bet on what elemental dragon will spawn first on the Rift. But if you want to bet on tried-and-true offerings, you can place wagers on total game time, total kills, or kill advantage.

Meanwhile, for first-person shooter enthusiasts, you can place bets on pistol round winner, total rounds, round advantage, and more. But if you enjoy betting on games while they’re still being played, BetUS offers bettors a dedicated live betting channel where you can do just that.

Sports, Casinos, and Horse Races

If that doesn’t satisfy your taste, you can head over to their casino or racebook, where they feature a selection of games and betting markets. In their casino, they offer quite a few games including blackjack, baccarat, and the American Diner, for which they have daily promotions to encourage players to test their luck. They even have live dealers, slots, table games, and video poker to welcome all kinds of bettors.

Meanwhile, their sportsbook has all kinds of sports ranging from football, baseball, golf, tennis, and even NASCAR. Of course, horse racing is included in their dedicated racebook, where you can choose a race, a runner, and name your place.

Live Offer 4/5

When you head over to BetUS’ sportsbook, you can see that the bookmaker streams the live games to help bettors stay tuned to all the action. And as we mentioned, BetUS has a Live Betting section on their platform that allows clients to bet on sports live. As is standard, odds do change over the course of a match and bettors can choose to automatically accept odds as they change live.

Security 5/5

BetUS prides itself in having one of the best fraud teams in the industry. At time you feel the security of your account has been compromised, you can call their 24/7 customer support to protect your account. Furthermore, you, as a client, can take proactive measures to further protect your account with two-factor authentication, with the choice of having SMS, email, app authentication, or even a PIN verification process with an account manager.

Service and Customer Support 4.5/5

Seeing that you need to contact their live agents every time to withdraw, you will be contacting BetUS’ customer support rather frequently. As such, it is no surprise that BetUS has 24/7 customer service for its clients – no matter the purpose. Whether it is for concerns regarding their casino, sports betting, or horse racing, you can get to their customer support within minutes through their phone line at 1-(800)-792-3887.

But if you prefer to have your questions answered discretely, you also have the option of contacting them through live chat and mail. They have an extensive FAQ section with questions related to starting an account, managing your account, and withdrawal and payment methods. They even a dedicated glossary for sportsbook and racebooks, so it is evident that BetUS goes out of its way to make sure you are always guided on your journey.

Design and Usability 4.5/5

Its all-American look, with its classic white and changing shades of blue, is simplistic and gets its point across. Despite being an old-time bookie, BetUS has gone above and beyond by running with the times and making the platform easy on the eyes. Only their font choice leaves much to be desired as it gives off an outdated look.

In terms of usability, BetUS has its bases covered with each section being visibly outlined on the header of the platform — one for sportsbook, live betting, casino, racebook, promotions, and exclusive betting guides, picks, and stats in BetUSTV and The Locker Room. BetUS is inclusive as well, with the platform being available in multiple languages and adjustable to the time zone you’re in.

Mobile 3.5/5

Regrettably, BetUS does not have a mobile application available for use right now. Rather, they have a mobile port of the bookmaker where you can still place bets wherever you are headed. Although it is functional, the bookie feels rough around the edges with icons going on top of each other in the mobile website.

Other Products 5/5

But of it all, BetUS is actively dedicated to helping bettors in placing the right bets. Their weekly shows in the BetUS TV have picks and predictions for the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, and more — each with their own hosts who give you the rundown of the weekly matches and where to best place your money.

If you just want to take your time reading the latest news, picks, and stats, then the BetUS has The Locker Room, where they provide all this information for free. No matter what sport — from the NFL to esports, The Locker Room has you covered with daily free picks and advice on which teams to back during game day.

Summary 4/5

Although self-proclaimed, America’s favourite sportsbook BetUS has some merit to it. When it comes down to it, they have relatively good odds in esports and offer generous promotions when you are just starting out, as well as excellent promotions with cryptocurrencies. Furthermore, the BetUS TV and The Locker Room are great ways for bettors to learn about what they’re getting into when placing their bets.

Our primary drawback for BetUS would have to be its tedious payout system, which also involves having to divulge your password to verify your account through live chat is outside of traditional security measures.
