The Super Bowl is always one of the biggest sports events of the year, and with so many legal online sportsbooks offering promo deals for new users ahead of the big game, it’s a great opportunity to get a good deal while also putting a bet down.

The world of online sports betting can be a little intimidating at first, but in this Super Bowl betting guide we’ll look at everything you need to know to get signed up in time for kickoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

How Do I Sign Up For A Sports Betting App?

The sign-up process for most online sportsbooks is relatively quick and simple. Below, you’ll find links to some of the most popular online sportsbooks, along with information on how to get their best promo offers. You can find a state-by-state guide here, including information on which sites are legal in which places.

Once you find the sportsbook you want, click the link to go to the homepage, then click the sign-up button on the site. From there, you’ll have to enter some personal information to register for an account, then select your deposit method and put money in your account. At that point, you’re ready to make your first bet. One thing to keep in mind is that some sportsbooks offer bonuses based on the amount of your first deposit and/or first bet, so you’ll want to read the details on that particular sportsbook’s offer first.

What Is The Best Super Bowl Sportsbook Promo?

In many states, you’ll have several Super Bowl betting site options to choose from, and most have a promo offer for new users – especially around the time of the Super Bowl. You can get the best deals by signing up for multiple sportsbooks to take full advantage of all the new user offers, though please be sure to play responsibly.

How Do I Deposit Money To My Account On A Sportsbook App?

Different sportsbooks offer different deposit method options. Two of the most common and most popular options are PayPal and ACH transfer. PayPal is popular in part because of its speed, but also because it usually offers no-fee transactions, unlike many other e-wallet options. It’s also widely accepted across multiple sportsbooks.

ACH (or Automated Clearing House) transfers are electronic transfers between banks. As long as you have an account with a bank that’s accepted by your preferred sportsbook, this can be a fast, reliable option.

Some sportsbooks also accept credit cards and/or debit cards, but these can also come with extra fees and it’s possible that deposits could be rejected by the card issuer. Venmo and CashApp are also accepted by some, but not all sportsbooks.

Where Do I Find The Super Bowl Bet I Want?

From the homepage of your preferred sportsbook, you shouldn’t have much trouble spotting the section dedicated to the NFL or Super Bowl LVII (perhaps abbreviated as SB LVII). What typically shows up first are the options for spread, moneyline, and point total bets. Click on one of the team names to see more detailed options, such as player props, game props, etc.

How Do I Make A Super Bowl Bet?

There are lots of different ways to bet on various aspects of the Super Bowl. One of the most common is a bet on the point spread, which basically refers to how many points a team will win or lose by. If the spread for the Eagles is -1.5, that means a bet on the Eagles only cashes if the Eagles win by two or more points. If the spread on the Chiefs is +1.5, that means the bet would win if the Chiefs either win the game or lose by only one point.

Another common method is the moneyline bet. For this bet, the points don’t matter. You’re simply trying to pick the winning team, and the odds determine your payout. If the moneyline odds on the Eagles are -125, that means you’d need to bet $125 in order to win $100. If the odds on the Chiefs are +110, that means a $100 bet would win you $110.

A third common option is the point total. For this bet, you’re trying to predict the total sum of points scored by both teams in the game. You have two options: the “over” and the “under.” If the point total is set at 50, an “over” bet cashes as long as the point total at the end of the game adds up to 51 points or more. An “under” bet wins if the point total adds up to 49 or fewer.

There are many more options to choose from, such as individual player props, team props, game props, and more. In addition, most sportsbooks also offer spreads, moneylines, and totals for each quarter and half.

How Do I Cash Out My Sports Betting Winnings?

On most sportsbooks the withdrawal process is fairly straightforward. Typically you can navigate to your profile on the app or website by clicking your profile name or photo, then scroll down to click the withdraw or payout button. Then it will give you options for withdrawing your money, such as how much you’d like to withdraw and how you want to receive it.

The timeline for receiving the funds depends on when you make the request and what method you choose. PayPal and ACH or e-check options should be available within 2-3 days, while checks can take up to seven business days.
