About Us
You must be 21 or older to bet, and you should only wager money you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, call the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Texas residents can also use Texas-specific support resources, and our Responsible Gambling page lists more help.
Top Sportsbook Promos is an independent comparison site that reads the fine print on sportsbook promotions so you don't have to. We look at welcome bonuses, deposit matches, free bets and similar betting offers, and explain what each one requires before you claim it. This page covers who we are, what we compare, how we rate, and how the site is funded.
What this site does
A headline like "125% up to $1,250" tells you very little on its own. The real value depends on rollover, minimum odds, expiration dates and which payment methods qualify. Our job is to turn those conditions into plain English and put options side by side.
- Review welcome offers from the sportsbooks listed on our rankings
- Explain promo types: deposit matches, free bets, bonus bets, odds boosts, reloads and first-bet protection
- Show how to claim an offer and what clearing it involves
- Point out limits, exclusions and drawbacks next to every offer
Who we're written for
Our readers range from casual fans hunting a first-bet offer to experienced bettors comparing wagering friction. Many are new to betting and want a step-by-step view of how a sign-up bonus works. We don't promote betting as a way to earn money or fix finances. Bonuses are a way to stretch entertainment spending, and losing is always possible.
How we assess sportsbook promotions
We work from published information and verify it against each operator's own stated terms. Our fact-check date for this page is September 29, 2026. Promotions change often, so always confirm current terms on the sportsbook's own site before depositing.
We have not claimed to have deposited, bet or withdrawn at any operator for this page. Our ratings are editorial judgments, not customer review scores.
| Factor | What we look for |
|---|---|
| Offer size and structure | Match percentage, cap, and whether the reward is cash, bonus bets or site credit |
| Wagering conditions | Rollover, minimum odds and any excluded bet types |
| Time limits | How long you have to claim and clear the bonus |
| Payment conditions | Whether certain deposit methods qualify or change the offer |
| Clarity | How easy the terms are to find and understand |
What the ratings mean
The scores on our ranked list, from 10.0 down to 8.5, are our own editorial ratings of the promotional package. They are not user reviews and don't predict your results. Some highly rated offers still carry drawbacks: larger match bonuses typically come with heavier rollover, and offers tied to a payment method, such as the Xbet credit card bonus, may not suit everyone.
How we make money, and why it doesn't set rankings
We may earn a commission if you sign up through links on this site. That funds the work. Commission does not buy position: no operator can pay for a higher ranking or a better write-up, and we list drawbacks for every option, including the top one.
The operators we cover
Our current list includes Lucky Rebel, Bovada, BetOnline, BetNow, Everygame, BetUS, Sportsbetting, Xbet, MyBookie and ApuestaHoy. Their promotions vary widely, from percentage matches to free bet packages. Availability differs by state, and some operators are offshore rather than licensed by an individual US state. We do not claim licensing we haven't verified.
Offshore sportsbooks are not covered by the consumer protections that state-regulated sportsbooks must follow, and there is a risk a withdrawal may be delayed or not paid. Check your state's rules and the operator's licensing before you deposit. Nothing here is legal or tax advice; consult a qualified professional for those questions.
Eligibility and responsible play
- You must be 21 or older in most states to bet; check your local minimum age.
- Sports betting is not legal everywhere in the US, and rules vary by state.
- Set a budget before you claim any bonus, and never chase losses.
- Never bet money needed for rent, bills or essentials.
Free help is available any time at 1-800-GAMBLER. More tools are on our Responsible Gambling page.
