Caesars Sportsbook Review: The Retail Giant Goes Digital
Caesars is the largest retail sportsbook in the US, and as more states legalize online betting it's fast becoming one of the biggest online operators too. We tested its bonuses, odds, payments and support.
Welcome offer
Caesars runs one of the most generous new-customer offers around: a first-bet offer worth up to $1,500 (promo code CZR15 at registration). If your first bet loses, the stake comes back as a free bet.
The terms that matter
- Place your first bet within 30 days of opening the account.
- A lost bet returns as a single-use free bet within two days, which must be used within 14 days.
- Super Boost markets, Round Robins and Profit Boosts don't qualify.
Other promotions
Profit boosts offer enhanced odds on selected bets across many markets. The refer-a-friend bonus pays a $100 free bet per referral (friend deposits $50+), capped at 10 referrals — up to $1,000 in free bets, used within 30 days. Betting also earns Caesars Rewards points, redeemable for everything from free bets to hotel stays.
Payments
The selection is smaller than rivals', but Caesars charges no fees on any method. Deposits (min $20, instant): Play+ prepaid card, credit card, debit card, eCheck, online banking, PayNearMe and PayPal. Withdrawals: Play+, eCheck, online banking and PayPal, typically 2–5 days (PayPal up to 48 hours). Withdrawals over $5,000–$10,000 can take longer.
Markets and odds
Caesars lists 16 markets — including football, basketball (NBA and NCAAB), baseball, hockey, soccer, golf, tennis, boxing, UFC/MMA and auto racing (F1 and NASCAR) — though it misses darts, rugby league and special-events sections rivals carry. Odds are very competitive: in our MLB spot-check (Mets vs Nationals) Caesars offered -240 on the favorite versus a rival's -250.
User experience
The desktop site is clean and minimal with quick load times, clear labelling and a near-instant search. The weakness is mobile browsing: the site constantly redirects you to the app, and the desktop-view workaround means zooming. The app itself (iOS and Android) is intuitive, gives full account access including Caesars Rewards, and is the best way to bet on the go.
Support and responsible gambling
FAQ pages cover payments, bet types and account queries; live chat runs 7 days a week and connects in seconds, with well-trained agents. Escalated queries came back to us in under 48 hours. A dedicated responsible gambling section covers controls, self-exclusion and state-specific support services.
