Books you can open in United States
Most directories show the same list wherever you are. This one does not. A book appears here only if it is licensed where you are, because signing up to one that is not is your money at risk, not ours.
Sports betting in the United States is licensed state by state, not nationally. The books below are live in several states. Check that yours is one of them before you sign up.

Questions people ask
How do you choose which bookmakers to list?
The list started from the same books OLBG carries, and a book only appears to you if it holds a licence in the country you are browsing from. The ones that do not are shown separately with the reason, rather than quietly dropped.
Do you get paid when somebody signs up?
Yes, on some of them. Where a link earns us a commission it is an affiliate link, and that is stated on the page. It does not change the review: the ratings and the withdrawal times are the same whether a book pays us or not.
Are the reviews written by a person?
The wording is written by a model from what is on record, then checked. Numbers that have to be exact, like the licence and the payout percentage, are not left to the model at all, because a wrong licence number on a betting site is a legal problem and not just a mistake.
What is the payout percentage?
It is how much of every hundred staked comes back to bettors across a market, once the bookmaker margin is removed. Higher is better for you. Where it is blank we have not measured it yet, and a blank is more honest than a guess.
