About Jack Browne

A sports fanatic, Jack turned what was likely to be a hobby only into a career after moving to Canada post-university and landing a full-time sports editor position. At theScore, his interest in sports betting was ignited after the company ventured into the gambling sphere.

In his free time, you can find Jack chasing after his toddler, and then after being left in the dust once again, sitting down to take in the latest NFL game, F1 race, or UFC PPV.

Fliff also offers bonuses to all its players through its loyalty program.

There are a lot of things that OwnersBox is doing right. Their biggest positive is the shift in focus to weekly fantasy sports. It still feels like DFS, but I do like the fact that the game is more spread out. The Ownersbox fantasy sports platform is also a cut above the rest. Not only do you have all the contests available with top-notch filters. On top of that, you have the daily/weekly fixtures with a rolling news feed on the right-hand side. This puts you in the driver’s seat.

Our experts chose these sportsbooks after a study of the different betting odds provided by each betting site over a period of time. The games were chosen at random and many types of sports were covered including football, basketball, hockey, soccer, MMA and more. The list is based on who has the best odds not who has the best expert rating overall which is why a sports betting site offering the best sports betting odds is at the top even though our in-house expert rating is lower than the others in the list.

Real Money Betting 720×540
Real money betting

So why do these betting sites find their way to the top of the list of real money betting sites? It’s because they offer their players the best real money betting experience – from their betting platform to the types of promotions available for both new and existing players. Fan Duel, for example, starts you out with a $1,000 risk-free bet and will then offer daily promos in the form of odd and parlay boosts. This is the same for BetMGM. At Bet365 they have a mix of these types of boosts but they also change it up with promos such as the ‘No Score Tie’ offer on soccer where you get your money back in case of a boring no-score match.

Free Bet Bonus
Free bets

What sportsbooks made it to the top of our list? Of course, the rating of our trusted experts does weigh in on the decision but we do go a step further. Free bets sites that make this list also need to have a good selection of free bets. They need to cater not only to new customers but also have a selection of bonuses targeted towards existing customers. This is a very important criterion when choosing a sports betting site so before signing up it makes sense to have a look at the promotions on offer. Extra points also if a sportsbook offers betting apps free bets.
