The best sports betting sites in Indiana 2024

BetRivers

BetRivers was, along with DraftKings, one of the first two companies to go live in Indiana in October 2019. Its land-based partner is the French Lick Resort.

The brand has a long history in casinos – it’s the sportsbook arm of Rush Street Interactive. As a result, it has an excellent rewards system, iRush Rewards, which is linked to its casino activity.

BetRivers is well regarded for the breadth of choice it offers across a wide range of sports and betting markets. It delivers plenty of opportunities to wager on sports around the world, as well as in the USA.

New customers can take advantage of a deposit match of up to $250, an offer backed up by several other tempting promotions and bonuses that are accessible through a user-friendly website and app.

FanDuel

Wherever online sports betting has been legalized, you tend to find FanDuel. This is a brand that has evolved superbly from its days as a leading supplier of Daily Fantasy Sports games. Its pre-eminence in DFS gave FanDuel a useful profile in the eyes of American sports bettors – but the quality of its sports betting experience has played a key role too.

FanDuel has a user-friendly sportsbook, which carries an extensive range of sports and markets. Its Indiana sports betting app is also one of the most highly regarded in this competitive marketplace.

Experienced and novice bettors alike find plenty to enjoy here, starting with $200 in Bonus Bets when you wager $5 and continuing with a regular stream of compelling bonuses, plus in-play betting and live streaming.

WynnBET

WynnBet is known for its generous odds, which compete with the biggest sportsbooks in the US, like DraftKings and FanDuel. New players in Indiana can sign up with WynnBET and claim its $50 bet bonus once you make your own wager of $50. You can use your bonus bet to wager and withdraw any winnings. However, this does not include the value of the bonus bet.

Other top promotions at WynnBET include its odds boosts and bonus bets. You can use your odds boosts on a wide variety of sports, with detailed markets covering dozens of competitions.

WynnBET has been offering sports betting in Indiana since September 2022, after receiving its license from the Indiana Gaming Commission, thanks to its partnership with the Rising Star Casino.

Unibet

This is brand that worked to carve out a place in the ultra-competitive UK space. It amassed tens of thousands of customers in more than 80 nations in an incredibly short space of time – and it’s now repeating that feat in the USA.

Unibet launched its Indiana sports betting site in July 2020 thanks to its partnership with the Horseshoe Casino Hammond. It quickly became known for its wide choice of betting options – especially in soccer, the world’s favorite sport.

At the heart of Unibet is a willingness to offer plenty of promotions, and it is particularly keen to offer regular boosts to the odds available. There are plenty of live betting options available, as well as an initial offer of a bonus bet of up to $500.

Betway

Betway didn’t make its presence felt in Indiana until May 2021, when it launched thanks to a partnership with the Belterra Casino. However, this is a brand that is used to making up for lost time.

Betway carved out a niche in the competitive UK sports betting market very quickly following its launch in 2006. It managed this by offering innovative promotions and a great betting experience, as well as an aggressive sponsorship strategy that boosted the brand name.

Indiana sportsbook customers who enjoy wagering in play will find plenty to like at the Betway website and app, where you will find a broad range of sports to bet on. There is also flexibility in the “Bet Your Way” feature. It’s bright and breezy approach to online sports betting suggests that this is a brand with a long and interesting future in the US.

BetMGM

BetMGM has offered sports betting in Indiana since February 2020, thanks to its partnership with the Belterra Casino. It stands out among all other the companies for the sheer volume of wagering opportunities available. It is highly likely that, whatever your favorite sport and your preferred method of betting on it, you will find what you are looking for at BetMGM.

This is a brand that combines extensive expertise in the casino space with deep knowledge of the sports betting market, thanks to the tie-up between its parent companies MGM Resorts International and Entain. The result is one of the leading names in the growing North American online sports betting market.

As well as the variety of sports to bet on, BetMGM also scores highly for the excellence of its user experience on both its website and app.

Caesars

Caesars is arguably the most famous name in American casinos, and the speed with which it has claimed a place at the top table of US online sportsbooks is highly impressive. This transformation owed much to the acquisition of famous sports betting brand William Hill, but also to their bold and assertive marketing strategy.

The first thing a new player encounters is one of the most generous welcome bonuses – a bet credit of up to $1,500. This is followed up by a slew of inventive promotional offers that maintain the sense of value experienced by ongoing customers.

With a well-rated app and a broad range of sports available to bet on, Caesars fully deserves that place among the elite in this fiercely competitive marketplace.

PointsBet

PointsBet went live for Indiana sports betting in March 2020 thanks to its partnership with the Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg. PointsBet has come a long way in a very short space of time. Launched in Australia in 2017, it moved into the American market in the following years.

It’s one of the best connected sportsbooks in the Hoosier State; PointsBet is an official sports betting partner for both the Indiana Pacers and the Indianapolis Colts - the two major pro sports teams in the state.

As well as fixed-odds betting, PointsBet also offers a unique way of wagering on sports. With PointsBetting, the size of your winnings – or losses – is determined by the margin of victory or defeat. This adds an extra layer of excitement to your betting experience. The brand also offers great wagering opportunities and plenty of interesting promotions to give extra value to players.

DraftKings

The history of DraftKings mirrors closely that of FanDuel. This is a company that leveraged its status as a leading provider of Daily Fantasy Sports games by evolving shrewdly and swiftly to become a leading online sportsbook in Indiana and elsewhere.

DraftKings brings plenty of quality features to the market, not least the high quality of its mobile offering – this is one of the best apps available to bettors on both iPhones and Androids.

The wagering experience is excellent, with a wide range of sports available and numerous ways of placing a bet. One feature that really stands out is the high degree of personalization. DraftKings analyzes your betting history, as well as your stated preferences, to offer you the types of bets you might be most keen to place.

Barstool

Barstool made its name as a provider of sports content, and is complementing its betting platform with plenty of controversial opinion articles. The brand has been live in Indiana since May 2021, in partnership with the Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg.

It’s unusual in that its rewards tend to come in the form of branded merchandise, rather than player bonuses or other online rewards. But there are plenty of ongoing promotions to keep people interested in a brand that definitely has a character all of its own, and has a strong emphasis on fun and enjoyment.

TwinSpires

TwinSpires is the new name for BetAmerica, which switched its identity in October 2021. This is a brand that made its name as the leading online betting site for horse racing in the USA, and has expanded to offer sports betting in half a dozen states, including Indiana.

As you would expect, there is still a strong focus on horse racing on the TwinSpires platform. However, it’s easy to switch across to the sportsbook, and there is a pleasingly broad selection of other sports to wager on.

Like many of its rivals, TwinSpires offers a generous welcome offer to new customers, in this case a bonus bet of up to $1,000. It’s fair to say the app needs some improvement, but for those who enjoy betting on both sports and horse racing, TwinSpires is a name well worth checking out.

Motorsports

Motorsports are popular all over the USA, but in few states is four-wheeled competition as revered as Indiana. This is, after all, the home of the Indy 500 – arguably the most famous motorsport event in the country. Enormous crowds turn up each year to watch the classic IndyCar race. Other events in the state, such as the many NASCAR fixtures, also draw huge support. Every Indiana sportsbook offers a broad range of betting markets on the Indy 500 and the many other motorsport events held in the state.

Basketball (NBA)

Basketball betting is popular throughout the regular season, all the way up to the NBA Finals. The sport is particularly well followed in Indiana because of the presence in the state of the Indiana Pacers, who’ve had their home here since 1967. Several divisional title wins since the turn of the century have kept levels of interest among home fans high.

Basketball, with its high scoring and regular breaks in play, is an ideal sport for in-play wagering – and the exploits of the Pacers ensure a steady level of interest in basketball betting across the calendar.

NCAA Basketball

College sports attract significant interest across Indiana, which is boosted by the fact that wagering on games involving college teams is legal. Several Indiana teams compete at the highest level of college basketball, and three took part in March Madness in 2022. Notre Dame and the Indiana Hoosiers did not get very far, but the Purdue Boilermakers made it all the way to the Sweet 16. It’s safe to assume that college basketball will always generate a serious level of sports betting in Indiana.

Football (NFL)

Football is the most popular of all sports across the USA. Indiana fans have a team in the state to cheer, the Indianapolis Colts. Supporters still hark back to the era when one of the greats, Peyton Manning, led the Colts to victory in the 2007 Super Bowl. The eternal popularity of the NFL, and the fact that football is a sport that lends itself to an enormous variety of game lines and props, ensures there will always be a high level of interest in wagering on the sport.

NCAA Football

Indiana is home to some of the leading college football programs in the USA. As a result, interest in college games is incredibly high and the big teams draw exceptional support across the state. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Indiana Hoosiers, the Purdue Boilermakers and the Ball State Cardinals all play in the FBS, the highest level of college football in the USA. Because wagering on college sports is allowed in Indiana, there is a significant level of interest in betting on these teams each time they go into action.

Soccer (USL)

Soccer is the world’s number one sport, without question. It has gained ground in the USA in the last couple of decades thanks to the exploits of American players abroad and the establishment of the MLS. One rung below the MLS is the USL Championship, which features the Indy Eleven, a pro outfit based in Indianapolis.

The universal popularity of the sport ensures there will always be a good level of wagering on games played on American soil. There is also considerable interest in the major leagues in Europe and South America, as well as leading international tournaments.

Golf

Golf is a sport that offers a massive amount of wagering opportunities. The PGA Tour spans much of the calendar, each of its events lasts four days and there are huge fields competing. Within each tournament, there are also considerable numbers of prop bets available.

Golf is a popular pastime in Indiana, which is home to more than 400 courses. Even though it’s more than 30 years since the state hosted a Major – John Daly’s historic PGA win at Crooked Stick – golf is a sport with a strong following across the Hoosier State.

Fantasy Sports

Indiana was one of the first states to legalize Daily Fantasy Sports, so naturally the state is home to numerous dedicated DFS players. Leading DFS operators such as FanDuel and DraftKings offer games here, and it has been estimated that up to 150,000 people in the state enjoy taking part. The opportunity to select your own team from various outfits on a game day, and to score points according to their performance, is a perennially popular activity among sports fans in Indiana and beyond.
