Hard Rock Sportsbook

Despite this company's well-known name in the gaming and hotel industry, it was not until 2019 that they launched the Hard Rock Sportsbook app and website in New Jersey. Since then, the app has expanded into Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia, with more states expected to be added soon. The app was once available in Iowa, but it has ceased operations in the Hawkeye State.

All bettors in states outside of FL will receive $100 in free bets after they make their first wager of at least $5. Meanwhile, bettors in FL will receive $100 in free bets, which is only the result of their first qualifying wager of at least $10 loss.

Hard Rock Sportsbook - Review

For a while now, the word gambling has often been associated with the Hard Rock; since 2019, when the Hard Rock Sportsbook launched in New Jersey, it can also be associated with sports betting.

Since the launch, the company's mobile sportsbook app and website have slowly been expanding into other states. They are now active in eight states, with a few more soon to be added. Currently, Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia are the only states in which this product is active.

The mobile app can be found on the App Store and Google Play Store, and it has yet to reach the level of notoriety in the sportsbook market as it has in the hotel and casino realm. As the app and website improve and expand, there is a good chance this product will become more notable and build a more substantial reputation.

Layout and design-wise, this product has a straightforward and easy-to-use design that can be picked up immediately. Once a customer is on the app or website, they will find a wide range of betting options, including premade player prop parlays for different games or just simple point spread bets if that is what's preferred. Even though the product has fewer depositing and withdrawal options than its competitors, a user should still be able to find an easy way to deposit the minimum deposit of at least $10 and start playing.

Sports Betting Markets & Lines

Whether a customer is looking for an MLB game or an international tennis tournament, they'll find it on the Hard Rock Sportsbook app. This product offers an excellent range of sports and competitions to wager on, whether popular in the United States or an international basketball league. Leagues like the MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NCAA football and basketball can be found and bet on within the app or website.

Other sports include golf, tennis, rugby, boxing, MMA, cycling, motor racing, and even darts. As I mentioned before, the leagues and sports included aren't limited to just U.S.-based customers also have the option to wager on international leagues in those sports. In the app search tab, customers can scroll through each sport, followed by the available leagues in that sport.

Entertainment events or award shows, such as the Oscars, are not available to wager on when using this product. This app and website only offer odds on sporting events.

Bets & Odds

Like many other sportsbook apps, the Hard Rock Sportsbook features the most common betting options: point spreads, totals, moneylines, parlays, teasers, player props, alternate spreads and totals, and round robins. One option that deserves credit is their "Prop Parlays," which are premade player prop parlays that can be found in the app for different games. These give customers intriguing ways to wager on games that might not be found in any other sportsbook.

When it comes to the odds this product offers, they can be best described as "getting the job done" as they are not the worst on the market, but it is usually possible to find better odds on a different sportsbook. This product won't be the first to put out next week's NFL betting lines, but a user can still find reasonable odds throughout the week.

Live Betting

The Hard Rock Sportbooks app and website offer a simple and easy way to live bet on any sporting event or game one could hope for. On the app and website main page, there is a tab that says "live," and once a customer clicks on it, they can see all the live games being played at that moment with updating odds. This product is amongst the top tier in the market for live betting interfaces and options.

Unlike almost every other sportsbook app, this product gives users a chance to live stream some events straight from the app. Not all sporting events can be streamed, but events like tennis tournaments can be live bet on and watched all within the app or product.

Hard Rock Sportsbook Payment And Withdrawal Options

With how many sportsbooks are hitting the markets daily, deposit and withdrawal method options can set a product apart from the rest. The possibilities the Hard Rock Sportsbook offers put them in the middle of the pack, as this app certainly offers essential and easy-to-use options but doesn't offer the wide variety sportsbooks at the top of the market are offering.

Mobile banking could be considered the easiest method to use for deposits. While some options on the app, like PayPal, connect to mobile banking, it could still require some customers to create an account with PayPal or Play+, only making it more difficult for them to start playing. The minimum deposit requirement is $10 unless a customer uses PayPal, then it is $20. Only United State currency is accepted when trying to deposit.

There timetable for how long it will take for the withdrawal process depends on which method is selected by the user. It may take 1-3 days for a bank transfer withdrawal to be completed, but when using PayPal or Venmo, the withdrawal is immediate. A deposit using PayPal or Venmo must have been made originally before withdrawing with those methods.

Customer Service And Support

Like any other product, problems may arise over specific issues requiring further assistance. If a problem occurs with the Hard Rock Sportsbook, customers have a few options when looking for a solution. This app features the ability to speak to a representative over the phone from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week.

If a phone call is not suitable, then users have the option to contact support via a 24/7 chat function or through email.

This product does also feature an extensive FAQ page on the app and website that might be able to resolve any issues without needing to get customer support involved. There are six different sections pertaining to different areas like account management or withdrawals, all loaded with additional questions and answers that may come about. Unlike some of their competitor's FAQ pages that only offer maybe 20 questions, this products page has questions for any imaginable scenario.

Responsible Gaming Tools

While sports betting can be an enjoyable experience, it can also become a problem, so apps need to include responsible gaming tools for customers to access. The Hard Rock Sportsbook app gives users a wide range of tools to choose from if they feel it is needed. These tools include wager, loss, and time limits or the option to join the self-exclusion list.

If a customer feels as if these options are not enough, this app provides the phone number and website of gambling addiction hotlines that could provide further assistance.

Mobile Betting With Hard Rock Sportsbook

If a simple layout and design are what you might be looking for, then the Hard Rock Sportsbook app is an excellent place to start. The white background and clearly labeled tabs make trying to find a specific game or promo incredibly easy. It takes no time to look through premade odds boosts or game promotions, as they are clearly labeled on the home page.

A user that might be new to the sports betting world would very quickly be able to navigate and understand the app.

Under a good internet connection, this app ran quickly and efficiently without crashing or lagging. No matter how times we jumped from page to page or clicked on different promotions, the app was very responsive. Whether a user wants to make an elaborate parlay or just a simple NHL bet, they won't run into any problems with the app freezing.

Downloading The Hard Rock Sportsbook App

Customers can download and enjoy the Hard Rocks Sportsbook app if they have an IOS or Android operating device. Depending on the device, the customer can go to either the App Store or Google Play store and find the app with a simple search.

It's important to note if a customer resides in New Jersey or Iowa, they have a separate app with the state name in the title, so it's essential to make sure the correct app is being downloaded. After the correct app is downloaded, the customer can create an account and start the process of depositing. On the App Store, this product has 4.8 stars out of 5, and on the Google Play Store, the app has 4.5 stars out of 5.

Web Platform

Much like the app, the Hard Rock Sportsbook website is laid out in a simple and easy-to-use way that makes finding big games or odds boosts a quick process. The website looks similar to the app, including the same tabs and wording. The only difference is the website is a bit more spread out, so tabs are on the left side of the screen instead of the bottom.

The website does not include any different features or services than the app; all promotions and betting options can be found on both the website and the app.
