Bets Offered at BetRivers

BetRivers has a pretty robust menu of wagers, but not as large a board as some other providers. They have standard spread, moneyline, and totals bets. They do offer some prop bets, but the menu is nowhere near as robust as DraftKings or FanDuel. They do offer parlays and teasers, although with more restrictions than their competitors as well. Overall, you can make most of the wagers you would want to make at BetRivers. 

Sports You Can Bet on at BetRivers

BetRivers offers a full menu of sports. They do not always offer the fullest menu of ways to bet on those sports or the largest spread of games in those sports, but they do offer quite a few sports to wager on.

Does BetRivers have a mobile app?

Yes they do. In most states you can download the BetRivers app to access their platform. In NJ, the SugarHouse platform is the one that you download in order to play. The app has all the functionality you need to make wagers, although it is not the most user friendly. 

How to Download on iOS

On Apple devices you can download the app straight from the app store. Remember, in NJ it’s SugarHouse, but in all other states they rolled out it has been BetRivers as the name. You need to either have an account or follow the on app directions to open one before you can wager. 

How to Download on Android

Android does not allow for the download of gambling apps directly from the app store, so you need to go to the BetRivers website first on your device. Once there, you can sign up for a new account. At the end of the sign up process, they post a graphic for Android that you can click and it will start the download process. You may need to grant it permission on your phone to download from an “UNKNOWN SOURCE” first. Once it downloads, you can use that sign up information to access the wagering menu. 

How Do I Withdraw at BetRivers Sportsbook?

BetRivers offers quite a few funding options. You can link your online bank account directly, make direct deposits from your online bank, use credit or debit, they have prepaid cards, PayNearMe, Vanilla Direct, PayPal, and live at the casino cage. 

BetRivers Sportsbook Review

BetRivers is a smaller book for the recreational bettor. It does not have the wagering menu of some of the other books and the pricing is rarely ever the friendliest. They also have low max bet limits. I try to be honest in my recommendations, and frankly this is not my favorite book. With that said, you always want to take advantage of deposit bonuses and have the chance to play at a book if they hang a bad number at some point. It is definitely still worth signing up to take advantage of those opportunities, but they have a long way to go before they become the book seasoned bettors would choose.
