Mobile Betting In Washington, D.C.

The retail sportsbook at Capital One Arena gives Washington, D.C. sports bettors a simply way to place wagers. Online betting is also available in the area, although it’s been a bit complicated. Two of the top sports betting operators, Caesars Sportsbook and BetMGM Sportsbook, are available in the state, although you can only access them online in certain areas.

Meanwhile, the DC Lottery platform Gambet DC is available everywhere in the district, although there have been numerous issues with the mobile betting app since launch. The odds have been criticized as being worse than other mobile sportsbooks, while the interface has been a consistent issue. Perhaps the most prevalent example came on Super Bowl Sunday, with the iOS betting app completely shutting down throughout the event.

Other Retail Sportsbooks In Sporting Arenas

The Caesars Sportsbook at Capital One Arena might have been the first of its kind, but plenty of others have opened doors since then. State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, became the first NFL stadium to break ground on a retail sportsbook for the start of the season with its BetMGM Sportsbook. As you’d imagine the Las Vegas Raiders have a sports betting lounge located at the team’s home field Allegiant Stadium.

And, with the upcoming launch of Ohio sports betting, retail sportsbooks are planned for some local professional stadiums, such as a Bally Bet wagering lounge at Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Browns.
