Gambling.com Overall Score: 7.3/10 (No. 7 among U.S. sportsbooks)

Our Verdict: Hard Rock Bet is a fast, clean sportsbook with a strong mobile experience and top-notch live betting—but its limited availability and basic platform keep it from breaking into the top tier.

Quick Summary: Hard Rock Bet at a Glance

Hard Rock Bet delivers a smooth, no-frills betting experience backed by a respected casino brand. Its app speed and live betting tools stand out, but limited promotions and odds competitiveness prevent it from reaching elite status.

We just wish it were available in more states, which would perhaps put pressure on Hard Rock to make some upgrades to help it stand out.

Pros
  • One of the highest rated mobile betting options in the U.S.
  • Recently redesigned layout
  • Fast payout systems
  • Flexible and high-payout parlay features
  • Only platform offering online betting in Florida
Cons
  • Despite the redesign, software is still basic
  • Less competitive odds compared to other sites
  • Limited ongoing promotions for existing users
  • Only available in a few states
  • Limited markets & bet types

Sports & Markets: 9.0/10

Most sports, including all major U.S. sports and several niche markets like esports, handball, table tennis, and snooker, are covered well at Hard Rock Bet.

Hard Rock Bet may not be the industry-leader in sports market variety, but they're certainly near the top of the pile. From table tennis and darts to volleyball, lacrosse, and even cricket, you can find a lot of niche North American and international sports, in addition to all the betting options you'd expect for the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL. 

The only reason the book doesn't get a top mark from me is that the options within some of those lesser-known sports and leagues are a bit basic and stripped down. That's a minor complaint, though, compared to the great options on offer.

We found Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook to be one of the best NFL betting sites due to its extensive market coverage, competitive odds, user-friendly interface, and unique promotions. 

Hard Rock Bet stands out as one of the best soccer betting sites, as well, offering markets from the English Premier League to the FIFA World Cup.

Promotions: 4.75/10

The Hard Rock Bet welcome offer is easy to claim, but very standard when compared to other sportsbooks.

While there is a referral promo and loyalty program, the ongoing promotions at Hard Rock Bet are generally pretty lacking. Though there aren't a ton of odds boosts available on Hard Rock Bet, you will occasionally get offers for upcoming games.

There are hardly any ongoing promos for existing users, and the rewards program leaves much to be desired. There are no tie-ins to Hard Rock casinos or hotels, which feels like a missed opportunity.

Tom Ober

Hard Rock is certainly lacking in regular promos, but what earns them a passing grade from me is their daily odds boosts. They'll often have very high-value boosts on specific games or prop bets, often pushing the bets way past the value any other book is offering. You can always find a few of these with a good (bordering on great) EV, and that does a lot to make up for the lack of other bonuses. 

Payments: 7.0/10

Hard Rock Bet accepts most of the most common deposit methods, but has fewer withdrawal options than most of its competitors.

There are fewer banking options than most other major books, which can make it a bit more inconvenient to get money into or out of your account. However, once you find an option that works, deposits are instant, and withdrawals are processed fairly quickly. 

Shannon Lane

I wish you could withdraw to debit cards here. That’s expected at most major modern sportsbooks.

Customer Support: 7.75/10

Customer support at Hard Rock Bet is available via live chat, email, and a comprehensive FAQ page.

There are plenty of ways to get in touch, with the lack of a phone number being the only real knock in this category. Where to get help could be more prominently displayed on the homepage (instead of only in the footer). 

Tom Ober

The live chat was refreshingly quick and responsive, and agents seem empowered (and knowledgeable enough) to deal with and handle situations quickly and easily. On top of that, they were polite, courteous, and friendly.

Reputation & User Feedback: 6.75/10

Hard Rock Bet is a legit, legal operator with online betting licenses in several states. You'll always get a high-quality, fair, and legal experience with Hard Rock Bet.

On the whole, the Hard Rock brand is very well-known and well-respected, but the sportsbook does suffer a bit from being the only one available in certain states. Because it's the only betting option in Florida, many users feel roped into using a product that isn't compelled to improve.It's hard for people not to feel like they're stuck with whatever they're being offered. 

Tom Ober

Still, Hard Rock has a very smooth performance, a lot of betting options, and some nice daily odds boosts. Add it all up, and you get the somewhat middle-of-the-road reviews that are out there. 

Site UX: 7.5/10

Both the Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook website and mobile sports betting app are fairly basic compared to other sportsbooks. This doesn't imply the software is inferior; rather, it lacks some features and flash found on other platforms.

I found the Hard Rock Bet website to be sleek and very user-friendly design. There are some great, unique features like Flex Parlays and "pinned bets" that really improve the UX. 

Tom Ober

The book is smooth and reliable. The design is bright and uncluttered, with menu sections and nav links being clearly labeled and fairly obvious. The search function works well, and it's not hard to navigate to the sport and betting market you want, no matter how niche. Banking and account features are easy to access. 

Mobile Product: 9.0/10

The Hard Rock Bet app ranks in our Top 5 betting apps in the U.S. Using the Hard Rock Bet mobile app is a great way to make bets on the move and take advantage of the latest and greatest odds. 

In general, the iOS app has been received well. Android users are also happy with their app. Overall, the reviews are great.

Other apps in the Hard Rock suite include: Hard Rock Online Casino App and Hard Rock Games Casino Mobile App.

I found that the app is designed well, easy to use, and fast to update. And most app store users tend to agree.

The standout feature for us here is live betting: It updates scores faster than other sources, which enhances the thrill of real-time betting. Users can even stream lower-tier games, an offering rarely seen on other apps. We appreciate the competitive odds and the extensive range of sports options available for live and pregame bets.

I love the overall user interface and the Flex Parlay tool with the Hard Rock Bet app. The interface is uniquely stylized, and I always turn on dark mode.

Tom Ober

The first word that comes to mind when I think about the app is "quick." Everything loads (and refreshes) quickly, and there's no delay when going from your account to promos to the main homepage. Bets are processed instantly, login is fast and easy, and in general, the app is just very smooth and user-friendly. 

Responsible Gambling: 7.0/10

The Hard Rock Bet betting app contains various responsible gambling tools, including:

  • Responsible online gambling FAQs
  • Trained customer service agents
  • Personalized deposit, betting, and loss limits
  • Time limits
  • Timeouts and self-exclusion
  • Contact details for problem gambling agencies

While every sportsbook we review is dedicated to responsible gambling and provides resources to help curb problematic habits, we found some room for improvement at Hard Rock Bet. All the standard tools, like deposit limits, are available for users, but compared to other sportsbooks, there could be even more.

Tom Ober
Tom Ober

Compared to the Responsible Gaming sections on other platforms, Hard Rock's feels a bit thin and stilted. There is a video that shows how to use the limit-setting features, which is nice, but beyond the contact info for help organizations and some very dry copy about playing responsibly, there's not a ton of substance here.

Peter Mooney

The no-frills responsible gambling resource page is very basic, but it covers what users need to stay aware and protected.

Live Betting Features: 8.25/10

Hard Rock’s live betting features include live stats, animated overlays, and a large selection of events to live stream. As of 2022, Hard Rock players have live betting and streaming “access to more than 150,000 contests from 392 premium sports properties,” including NHL and tennis.

Live betting is available for most sports at the book, including niche competitions. With a toggle button for onscreen game tracking and stats, it's easy to stay current on events.

While I'd love to see streaming options added, the live betting setup on Hard Rock is impressive. Odds and lines refresh quickly, and when live bets are submitted, they process instantly, avoiding the dreaded instance of markets closing after you've pressed the button to commit to a bet. 

Odds: 5.0/10

The odds at Hard Rock Bet are decent, but very standard. You may not see the worst odds, but it will be more challenging to find those with a competitive advantage.

Right now, Hard Rock trails behind the likes of bet365, FanDuel, BetMGM, and others, where you can usually get better bang for your buck.

Hard Rock Bet can’t really compete with those at other sportsbooks. If you’re a sharp bettor who is very focused on tiny edges and line shopping, you might find better odds elsewhere. 

Tom Ober
Tom Ober

The odds on Hard Rock aren't particularly competitive, maybe because they don't need to be, as the only option for some people. Given that situation, I suppose you could assume the odds would be even worse, but they're generally within striking distance of whatever the best closing value ends up being.

Features We Love

  • Flex Parlays: Hard Rock Bet's proprietary Flex Parlays allow you to adjust your terms and conditions to get your desired payout. On any parlay, you can decide how many correct legs you want to lock in, and the potential payouts adjust accordingly. So you can create a parlay and declare that you'll take a payout if only three of your five parlay legs hit. It puts you in control of your risk, odds, and payouts.
  • SGP Max: Hard Rock Bet has introduced a new bet type called SPG Max. This feature allows you to add up to 20 legs into a same-game parlay and watch your odds—and payout potential—skyrocket.
  • Streaming Hub: Hard Rock Bet introduced its Streaming Hub, powered by Sportradar, in September 2022. The app offers hundreds of thousands of games, including NHL, soccer, basketball, tennis, and table tennis.
  • Live Tracking: Hard Rock Bet offers live stats, results, and animated overviews of the action to help you assess the situation and make better decisions.
  • Trending Bets: The Hard Rock Bet website is not just a place to make bets; it's a source of information thanks to the trending tab. This tab provides an overview of the latest sporting events and the most popular bets.
  • Pinned Bets: This allows you to pin events you like and get quick access to them via the "My Pins" box.
  • Favorites: You'll never lose track of what you're doing or what you've bet on. This is where your past and current sports bets are listed.
