ESPN Bet US Sportsbook Review 2026

ESPN Bet rolled out no less than two welcome offers, and this isn't hugely surprising. After all, ESPN Bet will need to make a big splash in a congested market and so you should expect to get some top sportsbook promo codes for signing up. So if you sign up to ESPN Bet for the first time, you could get either of these deals:

$200 in bonus bets

All you have to do here is to register your first ESPN Bet account and then make an opening bet on any odds and any market. Doing this will trigger $200 in 4 x $50 bonus bet tokens that will land in your account in 72 hours and will have to be used within seven days.

$1,000 matched deposit bonus

Again, you have to sign up to ESPN Bet for the first time, but here you need to make a deposit of $10 or more. This will trigger a 100% up to $1,000 matched deposit bonus. As a result, you'll get 5% in eligible cashback for the sportsbook or 2% for the casino gaming section. Just note that this bonus has to be used within 21 days.

ESPN Bet has given us a good-looking and user-friendly sports betting platform. The branding at the moment seems to be based on a fairly sombre and streamlined feel with a similar kind of moodiness to what you get at BetMGM.

Already we have found that we can sign up to ESPN Bet in a way that is simple and intuitive. The actual sports betting interface is works in a similar way to the best US sportsbooks meaning that you'll get a fast and effective way to put your bets down.

The ESPN Bet app has already attracted plenty of attention on its day of launch, and it looks like it could be one of the best mobile betting apps on the market. You can download the ESPN Bet app to your iOS and Android device and do everything from signing up to making deposits and betting on sport. We’re yet to see how it compares over the long-term to more established betting apps but the early signs are very positive.

ESPN Bet mobile and online

ESPN Bet mobile quick bets

ESPN Bet has a good range of accepted payment methods. These include the standard range of credit and debit card brands such as Visa and Mastercard, alongside echecks and bank transfers, while there may even be some ewallets such as PayPal.

When it comes to what the withdrawal methods are, you might get a more limited range of options here but they should still include everything from cards to ewallets . Naturally, we will be updating this important information as and when we get it.

Given ESPN Bet’s backing, we can expect to get nothing but quality customer care here. Already the brand has made a positive start with its FAQ and social media presence, and you can get 24/7 customer support available via email and live chat, and even request a callback too.

ESPN Bet has already revealed that it is legal and licensed in 17 states including major markets like Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This licensing is only given if the brand can prove that it can put on a fair and secure betting platform with SSL-level encryption, as well as providing the standard range of responsible gambling tools.

ESPN Bet has include any kind of loyalty program, but we are hoping to see a fair range of deals for existing customers.

Move aside Bartstool Sportsbook, ESPN Bet is here

It's important to note that ESPN Bet is effectively the replacement for the recently shuttered Barstool Sportsbook. Both brands are owned and operated by Penn Entertainment, and early signs that ESPN Bet will be a big improvement on its predecessor.
