Sports Illustrated Sportsbook is winding down operations in the U.S. Its licensing deal with Evoke Gaming (previously 888 Holdings) ended prematurely in March 2024. 

SI Sportsbook was previously live in Colorado, Virginia, and Michigan. Since Evoke sold some gaming assets to Hard Rock Digital, we recommend checking out our Hard Rock Bet review to learn more.
