BEST SPORTSBOOK SIGN-UP BONUSES

Table Definitions

Rank -- Rank is a measure of the quality of the bonus. The lower the rank, the better the bonus.

Group -- Most of the above sportsbooks are independent from one other. However, some are linked together in a group. These groups are listed in the table. I recommend not simultaneously playing two sign-up bonuses from the same group. Wait until payment is received, then play at the next sportsbook.

Bonus EV -- EV stands for Expected Value. Bonus EV varies dramatically for sportsbook bonuses depending on strategy. The EV estimates above assume an average of 95% bonus retention with SR free bets, 80% with SNR free bets, and 5% loss with each 1xB wagering. More experienced players may lose far less than 5% per 1xB wagering. Some may be expected to make a gain over a wagering requirement. Some bonuses with large wagering have an EV listed as "Varies" due to the large difference in possible return.

Max Bonus -- The bonus that is given with the maximum allowed deposit for that bonus.

Bonus % -- Bonus % indicates the ratio between the bonus and your deposit. If a £100 bonus is given on a £1000 deposit, the bonus % is 10%.

Wager -- Wager indicates the wagering requirement for the bonus. All wagering requirements are expressed in terms of the bonus. For example, a 10% bonus with 3x(bonus+deposit) wagering would be listed as 33xB wagering.

Type -- Three types of bonuses are listed in the table: Cashable, Sticky, and Free Bet. Cashable bonuses match a deposit percentage. They become withdrawable after completing a wagering requirement. Sticky bonuses also match a deposit percentage and have a required wagering. However, only winnings are withdrawable, not the bonus itself. Free Bet bonuses are a special bet where you can receive winnings and do not have to pay losses. Free bets can either return the initial free bet stake or not return the stake.

SR/SNR -- SR stands for Stakes Returned. It indicates a free bet bonus with stakes returned. SNR stands for Stakes Not Returned. It indicates a free bet bonus with stakes not returned.

Min Odds -- The minimum odds permitted for the wagering, expressed in decimal.

Casino Bonus -- "Both" indicates you may claim both the sportsbook and casino sign-up bonuses. "One" indicates that you may claim either the sportsbook bonus or the casino bonus, but not both. "--" indicates no casino sign-up bonus is available.

Notes -- Notes indicates other important things to take note of, such as associated warnings.
