I can confirm there are 44 Rebet legal states currently available, the exceptions being Idaho, Montana, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, and Louisiana. If you live in one of those, you won’t be able to use this social and sweepstakes sportsbook app.
Rebet uses Rebet Coins for the social side of the app, with Rebet Cash working as their version of Sweeps Coins used on similar sites. The app gives you a hands-on way to make some sports picks and interact with your friends, providing you live in a legal state, as I’ll explain here.
Millions of sports fans will be able to download and make social sports picks via Rebet, thanks to its wide availability. While researching this article, I found there are currently 44 US states where Rebet is operating. Since the out-of-bounds list of states is far shorter, I’ll list those here for you. So, to be clear, you cannot use Rebet if you live in:
Yep, there are just six states that don’t currently offer the Rebet app (this social and sweepstakes sportsbook is purely app-based). If you’re more familiar with online social and sweepstakes sites, check out the Rebet review to get a better sense of how this app works. For now, though, I’ll give you a basic rundown of the app and its format.
You might be familiar with social and sweepstakes casinos, or you’ve at least heard of them. Rebet works in a similar way, but it focuses on sports action rather than casino-style games. You might come across the term social betting used to describe what goes on at Rebet, but it’s not betting as you might know it if you’ve ever used traditional online sportsbooks.
You might also wonder why Rebet is available far more widely than standard sportsbooks where you can make real cash bets. The reason is that it works using the social and sweepstakes model. This is available in many more US states compared to standard cash betting on sports. That’s why you will see two types of in-house Rebet coins in use if you decide to download and use the app. Lots of other sites tend to use Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins for the social and sweepstakes elements, respectively. Rebet has come up with its own names though. To understand this more clearly and to see which coins are which, I’ve explained the basics in the below table.
| Coin Type | How Do They Work? | What’s the Outcome? | Equivalent To |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rebet Coins | Make social sports picks. Successful picks lead to Rebet Coins winnings, which have zero value and cannot be redeemed. | You can use them to make more picks. | Gold Coins used at other social and sweepstakes sites. |
| Rebet Cash | Make sports picks in sweepstakes mode. Successful picks lead to Rebet Cash. | Rebet Cash winnings are redeemable for a real prize. | Sweeps Coins used at other social and sweepstakes sites. |
I can also confirm that Rebet does not accept any deposits, in line with other sites using this model. Similarly, you cannot make any withdrawals if you win some Rebet Cash while making your picks. Instead, any Rebet Cash you collect must first be used to make those sports picks. You can then redeem any Rebet Cash winnings for a real prize, which works in line with the usual sweepstakes rules. You should review those before you consider downloading the app.
While researching this article, I came across several questions people were asking that kept coming up. I decided to bring them all together here, so you’ve got one section covering everything you might be wondering about.
This is possible, as there are state laws pertaining to whether an individual state might welcome social and sweepstakes sportsbooks like Rebet. I read through the FAQ section at Rebet to see what they had to say about the legality of their app and where it was available. They confirmed the six prohibited US states there, and noted that there could be changes in future. In their words, the situation ‘may change monthly’ - hence why they suggest re-reading their terms of use regularly to make sure you can still play there, even if you’re in a legal state just now. The same applies with their separate sweepstakes rules.
While this might seem like a good idea, it won’t work. That’s because you’ll need to verify your identity and residence before you can use the app. The process for signing up is as follows:
You can see that the last step on the list will identify if you’re using a VPN, as you’ll need to let them know who and where you are. For example, I live in Florida, so when I signed up, I was able to provide my personal ID and confirmation of my address in Florida. If I’d attempted to sign up from Maryland or one of the other prohibited states using a VPN, I would have been rejected at the verification stage.
The state-by-state situation will vary depending on which laws are in place there. For example, Alabama does not currently permit real money sports gambling to take place online. You’ll notice, however, that it is not among the six prohibited states where Rebet doesn’t operate. That’s because Rebet uses two in-house currencies to provide social and sweepstakes sports picks, so the laws surrounding real money gambling don’t apply here. It’s also why there are lots more Rebet legal states than you might have expected.
No, there’s no Rebet promo code to worry about in this instance, although you can still review any offers that might appear on this page, just in case a limited offer does appear. The standard welcome offer involves 100 Rebet Coins and 1 Rebet Cash.
If this occurred, you would unfortunately need to stop using the app. It’s rare, but it can occur as the laws in any state are always subject to change. That’s why Rebet suggests reviewing their terms every month, just to be sure you are still able to use their services, and to be aware of any changes they might have made.
It’s cool to spot a social and sweepstakes site that targets sports fans rather than those wanting to play some casino-style games. Rebet offers plenty of potential too, whether it involves following your favorite sports or challenging your friends in the peer-to-peer mode. While it is purely based within the app, rather than offering its services on its website, this does make it easier to keep track of what’s happening. It’s also reassuring to note that it is widely available across 44 US states at present - I’ll keep track of things to see if this continues to be the case.
The social and sportsbook app is available in 44 US states at present. You cannot use it in Nevada, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Louisiana, or Maryland.

No, Rebet Coins are separate from Rebet Cash, and they cannot be exchanged for each other. Only Rebet Cash winnings can be redeemed for a real prize.
Yes, Rebet does provide its users with a daily login bonus. This doesn’t rollover from one day to the next, so you do need to remember to login daily to get yours.
