Caesars Sportsbook

There certainly isn't a name that has more resonance with gamblers all over the world than the storied name of Caesars. The Las Vegas-based company has been a staple of that legendary city's gambling scene for decades.

The sportsbook was founded in 1996, but the Caesars sportsbook app wasn't launched until August 3, 2021. Sports betting using the app is currently legal in 21 US states, either inside a brick-and-mortar casino, online within the state's borders, or both.

Currently, Caesars only offers pari-mutuel wagering in Pennsylvania, but the app is likely to launch soon. Maryland will also more quickly have both online and brick-and-mortar versions available for play.

Caesars Sportsbook - Review

Founded in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the USA, Caesars sportsbook was launched in 1996. It stemmed from the legendary Las Vegas brick-and-mortar casino of the same name. The app was launched into the US sports betting market on August 3, 2021, after the acquisition of online gambling experts William Hill in April of that same year. This means that the Caesars app comes directly from what used to be the William Hill sportsbook app.

With the overthrow of the PASPA law in 2018, many states have been opening up for sports betting. The Caesars app is active in the following US states: Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington D.C, with Kentucky expected to follow soon as online betting just launches in the state.

Caesars also has a retail sportsbook presence but no app in Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Mexico, and Washington. In Nevada, bettors access the William Hill app instead of the Caesars app.

The app is available on iOS and Android operating systems, as expected. Caesars currently enjoys a partnership with the NFL and has also struck a branding deal with the New Orleans Saints, allowing them to rename the stadium in that city after them.

The company is primarily known for its generous bonus offers, usually activated by some Caesar's sportsbook bonus code. It has plans to expand throughout the nation shortly.

Sports Betting Markets and Lines

The core sports, leagues, and events available for betting with Caesars sportsbook are what a player would expect from a US sportsbook. It offers all MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL games and various MMA leagues, including UFC. As far as team sports go, Caesars offers college basketball (NCAAB), college football (NCAAF), the CFL, and the XFL.

It also takes bets on various international team sports, including basketball, hockey, rugby, soccer, and cricket games and leagues. Players can also bet with Caesars on boxing, tennis, and golf for individual sports.

For example, all the major national and internationally essential tennis tournaments are featured, as are the top golfing events worldwide. However, no esports or non-sporting events are available for betting, and Caesars is a reasonably traditional platform.

Bets and Odds

Caesars offers a wide range of bet types and markets. Moneylines and spread bets are the most common, but Multi bets such as parlays and round robins are also popular. A recent addition to the betting line-up is the Same-Game Parlay.

Here, players can form multiple legs of a parlay from the same event, and this is one of the areas in which the Caesars sportsbook shines. Players also have at their disposal a wide variety of tools for placing custom bets. These include moneylines, over/unders, futures for both championships and players, win totals, and team, player, and game props, as well as point spreads.

Live Betting

Happily, live, in-game betting is readily available at Caesars sportsbook on both the desktop and the app. A simple click of the "Live" button in the menu brings up a complete list of the current sports and matches where in-game betting is in progress.

The odds are listed, and clicking on the chosen bet adds it to the player's betting slip. The most common bet type is the Moneyline. Unfortunately, Caesars does not have a live streaming license, so bettors can't actually use the app or website to watch the event they are in-game betting on.

Caesars Payment And Withdrawal Options

Another important aspect for players is Caesars's deposit and withdrawal options. Bettors can fund their online sportsbook account using debit/credit cards, the PayPal eWallet, direct bank transfer, prepaid cards, and even cash at the cage of Caesars retail sportsbooks.

The minimum deposit amount is $20. One of the most convenient options is the Caesars Sportsbook Prepaid Play+ card, and this can be funded from a credit/debit card, PayPal, or online banking. Once loaded, a player can quickly transfer the balance to the sports betting account. In addition, this card can withdraw funds from the betting account via ATM.

Withdrawal requests are subject to a processing time of up to 72 hours, during which the request is verified. After this, withdrawals by prepaid card or by cash at the cage are instantaneous. PayPal takes three business days, and an ACH withdrawal can take up to five business days. With Paypal, there is no minimum withdrawal amount; with the other methods, the minimum is $10 at a time.

Customer Service And Support

The sports betting site and app are stable, load quickly, and run smoothly. However, in the event of any issue arising, the first port of call for bettors at Caesars sportsbook should be their comprehensive FAQ section. It is one of the most thorough FAQ sections we've ever seen, and it even gives the player help with turning WiFi on WiFi.

Of course, there are many instances when this isn't going to provide players with the support they need. In those cases, a 24-hour live chat facility is available from either the website or the app. Bettors need to look for the gray bubble labeled "support" and click/tap on it to be connected to the customer support chat line.

Our research found that most of the time, a representative would come online within a few minutes. There is also an email address for each state and a 24/7 customer support number to call.

Responsible Gaming Tools

The website for Caesars sportsbook explicitly states that it has three goals for its responsible gaming program. These are to stop problem gambling, stop underage gambling, and ensure that all gambling activities are “fair and open.”

To achieve these goals, Caesars has various tools, including the KYC procedure when signing up. In addition, it offers players tools to set unbreakable self-limits on deposit amounts, spending amounts over time, and cool-off periods. It also provides a self-exclusion feature.

Mobile Betting With Caesars

The user interface of the Caesars sportsbook mobile betting app is sleek, clean, and very easy to read and use. We found it ran very smoothly, even on mobile devices that are now a few years old. The appearance is easy on the eyes. The app is also very easy to navigate, even for a first-time user.

Caesars has obviously put a lot of effort into laying the app out in a logical manner so there was no problem finding the sports and betting markets that we were interested in. We put the app through its paces, and had absolutely no issues with stability, either.

At no time did we experience any noticeable lag or glitching of any sort. Of course, we have a good WiFi system set up here. In other words, as long as players have a good stable internet connection, the app should work very well.

Downloading The Caesars App

Downloading the app is very easy. Assuming players are located in an area where the app is legal and active, there's nothing to it. It's a matter of simply going to the Play Store or the App Store, depending on the player's mobile device. Search for the app and download it, that's all! At the time of writing, the app has a 4.4/5 rating on Google Play from over 10,000 reviews.

Web Platform

The Caesars sportsbook website, for those who prefer to game on computers, or for those who don't want to download yet another app on their phones, is equally easy to use. Its functionality and design are almost identical to that of the mobile app.

The only difference is in the layout with the different sports being listed down the left-hand side of the page instead of across the top as in the app. The larger page on a computer screen can also hold more information, with the betting slip popping up alongside the sports markets. Otherwise, the features and services on the two platforms are the same.
