Motorsports may not have the same profile in the US sports sector as some of the other professional leagues, but the world of motorsports is full of variety and excitement, and US sportsbooks are increasing and expanding their motorsports betting markets and offers.
For sports bettors, motorsports offer many attractions. Whether you are a fan of Formula 1, NASCAR, MotoGP or Endurance racing, the demands of each type of motorsport are distinct, and there is a vast variety of racing types and rules. The technical specifications and regulations change regularly, and sportsbooks often find it hard to adapt to the changes, producing opportunities for shrewd bettors.
At the same time, many sportsbooks are under pressure to offer a variety of motorsports markets to compete with their rivals, which can lead to them making mistakes or overlooking obscure details. There has never been a better time for fans of NASCAR, Formula 1 and other top motorsports events to bet on their favourite teams and drivers. Here are some of the best places to start.
WynnBet
A well-known brand in the US betting sector, Wynn Resorts has recently expanded into online sports betting with the WynnBet arm of their operation and has been one of the most successful of the new breed of sports betting operators in the US. They operate in 10 states, including the big markets of New Jersey and New York, and are likely to expand into other states over the next few months.
One advantage of betting on motorsports with WynnBet is that they have an ongoing partnership with NASCAR, with whom they have been working since 2020. So, they are in a position to offer NASCAR fans all the betting markets they need. They also offer competitive markets on Formula 1, and the WynnBet site is one of the leading destinations for motorsports bettors.
MyBookie
MyBookie is a popular online betting platform that has swiftly established itself as a top choice for anyone looking to wager on sports online. They offer some of the more unusual markets and have all the incentives, deposit options, and quick payouts bettors could want. For those who want to start betting on motorsports events such as Grand Prix or MotoGP, they are the perfect sportsbook, although their wagering limits are relatively modest compared to some of their rivals.
GTBets
One of the few motorsports betting firms to launch online in the last 10 years, GTBets has a strong reputation among US bettors due to their customer-focused operation and their range of motorsports promos and sign-up bonuses. They have a relatively conservative wager limit of $3,000, but their strong motorsports markets and excellent customer support make them a reliable option for motorsports bettors.
Bovada
As the US sports betting market has exploded in recent years, Bovada has been at the forefront. A long-established name in the US market, they are known for their strong poker product, but for sports betting fans, they have become particularly popular for a range of solid motorsports betting markets.
Their wager limits are around $500 for NASCAR futures bets, with the same limit applying to driver props, though with racing team props, the limit is $1,000. Bovada is well known for its range of motorsports prop bets and its live solid betting markets on all key motorsport events.
SportsBetting
SportsBetting, like Bovada, has become known for its vigorous sports betting markets around the main motorsport events, and its coverage of Formula 1, NASCAR and MotoGP races is excellent. Another positive is the speed of their payouts, which are some of the fastest in the sector. They also have a solid Welcome Bonus, although these are regularly changed as with all bonuses. Unlike some of their rivals, SportsBetting has relatively high wager limits and one of the most extensive selections of motorsports markets, including a full range of moneyline and total options.
BetOnline
Compared to other betting sites, BetOnline has made the most significant gains in expanding in the US during the last few years and is now one of the biggest sports betting operators nationwide. For Americans who wager on sports online, they have a range of attractive welcome bonuses and promotions.
They are particularly strong when it comes to NASCAR betting, providing thriving futures markets across all races and classes, and they also offer solid coverage of international events.
