Desktop/Mobile Experience

We’d say the quality of the sportsbook experience offered by Caesars is... alright. It’s got a good selection of sports to bet on and a flexible selection of banking options. But we were expecting something a little more unique and stylized from an iconic gambling brand like Caesars.

The sportsbook lobby is not flashy at all. It’s bare. The site is pretty a much a drag-through list of the upcoming events and the odds for that event. Organized by the specific sports that the games and events are for, the list shows everything you could bet on during the week ahead.

Desktop

From the Home page, a calendar of the week’s upcoming games displaying the time and name of the teams or athletes competing along with the numbers on the spread and the moneyline as well as the total odds. This site is stripped down and simple as can be.

It’s simple to navigate between the various sports offered. They’re all highlighted top left on the games in the week-long to ‘future' timeline of upcoming events. You can also filter the list for the sports shown by select the sports listed in the row right below the site header.

Mobile

Caesars Sportsbook is available via mobile betting app. You can download it for iOS from the app store and if you’re an Android user, you can get it from the Caesar’s Palace website. Downloading the app is as simple as you’d expect downloading any mobile app would be.

Use of the services available on the online sportsbook and the mobile betting app is restricted to users who are playing within the state. Your location data from either your computer or mobile device will be used to detect whether you are within the state or not.

Sports and Markets with Caesars Sportsbook

• Basketball
• Tennis
• Hockey
• Soccer
• Football
• Baseball
• Golf
• Boxing
• MMA

You can place bets on all the sports listed above with this sportsbook. They’re focused on major US sports leagues, like the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC and more. The only international sports offered is soccer. Caesars doesn’t appear to offer any betting markets for niche sports.

As for the markets, you can find the following at Caesars Sportsbook:

• Moneyline: The most common type of bets, Moneyline bets are straight to the point. Choose a single obvious winner.
• Totals: The point of this bet is to predict if the end score will be over or under a player’s chosen number.
• Futures: A future bet is one made much in advance, predicting the outcome of an entire season or tournament, before it starts.
• Point Spreads: Point spreads when players bet on the team they think will “cover” the point spread based on an agreed upon +/- handicap referred to as the “line.”
• Parlays: Parlay bets combine multiple single bets into a single wager. People like parlays because the combo can be more profitable than either bet on their own.
• Teasers: Teaser bets root against the point spread or on the total points. Teasers can be really profitable if the bet is won.

Betting Odds with Caesars Sportsbook

The odds are good but nothing special. Caesars Sports does not appear to offer any boosted odds or enhanced odds. Being one of the most reputable brands in the gaming industry, Caesars doesn’t need to go to extra lengths to lure customers by offering competitive odds.

Determining the betting odds for big events in sports is nothing new to Caesars. Sports betting has had a long history at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and their New Jersey online sportsbook offering delivers the same quality you’d expect from this iconic gambling brand.

Betting Features

Caesars brings flexibility to how you place your sports bets with their available betting features. Of all the available features, Caesars Sports doesn’t have a Cashout feature to refund bets before the event outcome. This feature has begun to appear among a swath of the competition, and Caesars better consider adopting it to keep competitive.

Current Promotions

Apart from the welcome offers, Caesars offers various short-term promotions as well. At the time of writing, the sportsbook is running a weekly Football Pick'Em challenge where you have to choose which match-up will have the highest total score that week in order to win a $5 free bet.

Customer Support

The Caesars Place sportsbook has a dedicated Player Support Team standing by 24/7 to assist you with any questions you may have. The website features a fully answered list of FAQs to describe the solutions to many of the most asked questions about Caesars Sportsbook.

The Player Support Team can be reached anytime 24/7 via phone or email. There is also a live chat feature available only from desktop that allows you to instantly connect to a representative. Select the “Support” widget found at the lower right corner of the screen.

Responsible Gambling Features

There doesn’t appear to be any features that are part of the platform that helps promote responsible gambling. There are no available options to set self-imposed betting limits or account holds altogether. Although there aren’t any specific features, there is some messaging.

Caesars Sportsbook takes gambling reasonably very seriously. The site makes a clear and very simple message dealing with responsible gambling visible to all players who visit their site: Know when to stop before you start. Have a gambling problem? Call 1-800-552-4700.

Our Verdict

Caesars is a good sportsbook but behind on some of the industry’s latest and most popular offerings, such as live-betting and Cashout features that allow you to cancel a bet before the outcome of the event and receive a refund of the wager right to your account.

This bookie has a good selection of betting markets, convenient banking features and allows you to play casino games with the same account. Caesars Sports is a clean, straight to the point and user-friendly bookie site. We recommend giving this online sportsbook a go.
