About Us
LegalSportsBetting is a resource for bettors navigating the regulated U.S. market and offshore sportsbook industry.

The goal of this page is for our readers to learn about the team at LegalSportsBetting and the resources we offer.

Below are some of our most helpful pages, written by our experts and developed over years of research.

How We Evaluate Sportsbooks And Our Content
Our process for evaluating legal online sportsbooks and our own content depends on a handful of factors. Some of those key factors we value are listed below.
- First-Person Testing: We only recommend sportsbooks that we have tried and used ourselves. Our sportsbook reviewers have successfully deposited, played, and withdrawn funds from all of the legal sportsbooks on our site.
- Deposit and Withdrawal Methods: It’s important to us that sportsbooks offer at least seven different ways to deposit and withdraw funds.
- Comparing To Other Sites: When it comes to our own content, we want to align with industry standards and offer the best product available. The same philosophy applies to sportsbooks, as our reviews take other sportsbooks into consideration so that we can provide proper comparisons.
- Freshness: We constantly monitor industry developments to provide the latest legal sports betting news. This also applies to our revenue page, which is updated upon every new state revenue report.
- Offshore Experience: Our reviewers have used offshore sportsbooks for years. This makes comparing them to domestic books much easier, where we can track payout reliability, odds depth, and customer service responsiveness.
