ESPN Bet is one of the newest sportsbooks to roll out in Massachusetts, replacing the former Barstool Sportsbook platform. Parent company PENN Entertainment had been running into legal issues getting the Barstool platform launched and live in states where it held a gambling operator’s license and sold the Barstool company back to its original founder Dave Portnoy.

After the Barstool sale, PENN announced a 10-year, $2B deal with ESPN to launch “ESPN Bet,” a state-of-the-art gaming platform has been integrated into existing ESPN print, online, and on-air products. PENN has made a major effort to provide exclusive content from ESPN’s on-air talent, which is helping to spur sportsbook registrations.

How can I open an account at ESPN Bet in Massachusetts and claim the bonus?

Opening an account at ESPN Bet in Massachusetts won’t take you very long; the process shouldn't take you more than about five minutes to complete. You'll also be able to claim the Massachusetts sportsbook promo directly after you've finished registration.

Here’s how you can sign up today.

  1. Make a deposit into your ESPN BET account.
  2. Place a $10+ cash wager on any eligible sports market during the promotion period.
  3. Receive a 30-day ESPN+ promo code via email within 72 hours of making the deposit.
  4. Get $100 in Bonus Bets credited to your account within 72 hours of placing your qualifying wager, win or lose.
  5. Use your Bonus Bets within 7 days of them being credited to your account.
  6. Redeem your ESPN+ promo code to begin your 30-day trial.

How long will it take for the ESPN Bet bonus to be credited?

Once a player has made a qualifying wager of at least $10 on an eligible sports market, the $100 Bonus Bet will be credited to their account within 72 hours, regardless of the bet's outcome. It's important to note that the bonus bets must be used within 7 days of being credited. 

If this time frame has passed and a player has not received their bonus, they are encouraged to reach out to ESPN BET customer support for assistance.

How do I troubleshoot if the ESPN Bet Massachusetts bonus is not working?

If the ESPN BET MA bonus isn't working, there are several technical steps and resources available for troubleshooting. 

Firstly, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, as accumulated data can sometimes cause issues with online promotions. This step often resolves minor glitches or loading problems. If that doesn't work, check if your browser is updated to the latest version, as outdated browsers may not support all the features of the ESPN BET site.

Another step involves checking the eligibility criteria and promotion details carefully. Ensure that your account is registered, verified, and located in Massachusetts, and that you are over 21. It’s also crucial to verify that your bet was placed on an eligible market or game during the promotion period and met the minimum deposit requirement.

If after these steps the bonus still doesn’t work, it’s recommended to contact customer support. Reach out via the support email provided on the platform, support@espnbet.com. Provide them with detailed information about the issue, your account details, and any relevant screenshots.

Yes, ESPN Bet Sportsbook is legal in MA. ESPN Bet launched on November 14, 2023, rolling out in all states where PENN Entertainment was authorized to operate.

What are the leading features of ESPN Bet Sportsbook Massachusetts?

Here are some of the leading features of ESPN BET Sportsbook that are available to players in Massachusetts.

  • Exclusive content from ESPN talent: You've probably already seen ESPN Bet's commercials with SportsCenter host Scott van Pelt where he is receiving notifications from ESPN and ESPN Bet. Fellow anchor Elle Duncan has also been heavily featured in the campaign. ESPN rebranded its “Daily Wager” show to become “ESPN Bet Live,” and there are other ways ESPN Bet has been integrated into the ESPN website and fantasy apps.
  • Live/In-play betting markets: PENN has an array of 18 different sports for users to access, many of which carry live betting markets. In-play lines are updated frequently and can be a fantastic way to pounce on betting value.
  • Early cashout: Early cashout is an excellent option for bettors to collect some of their winnings, or cut potential losses, before the end of a sporting event. Especially for live wagers, this is a great way to help control the overall risk of your bet.

What types of bets are offered on ESPN Bet Sportsbook?

ESPN Bet offers many types of bets on its sportsbook platform, ranging from straightforward to intricate. Here are some of the most popular options you can make.

  • Moneyline: In simplest terms, moneyline wagers are when you pick the winner of the game with no consideration for the type of win or margin of victory. Moneyline bets tend to have much steeper odds for betting favorites and longer odds for underdogs.
  • Spread bets: Spread bets are a variation of moneyline wagering; you’re still picking the “winner,” but the spread acts as a handicap on the betting line by spotting the underdog extra points to get betting action to roughly a 50-50 split on both sides. For example, if the New England Patriots were hosting the New York Jets, you may see a line that reads “New England Patriots -3.5.” For a spread bet on New England to win, the Patriots would need to win AND beat the Jets by four points or more. Conversely, a wager on the underdog Jets would pay out if New York won outright or lost by three points or fewer.
  • Parlays: Parlays are wagers that usually combine somewhere between 2-10 betting outcomes (called “legs”) and roll them into a single bet. The odds are multiplied for each leg added to the wager, which can mean large paydays even on relatively small initial stakes. However, if one leg or more of the parlay doesn’t hit, the entire bet is a loss.

Leading sports leagues you can bet on using ESPN Bet Massachusetts

ESPN brands itself as “The Worldwide Leader in Sports,” and as such, you'll find a broad selection of available betting markets on the ESPN Bet platform. Here are some of the leading sports leagues among ESPN Bet Massachusetts users.

  • NFL: No matter what state you’re betting in, the NFL is virtually guaranteed to see the highest betting handle and the greatest volume of unique wagers. Historically, the New England Patriots have been a solid team to back at the sportsbooks, though recent seasons after two decades of dominance have led to the need for some retooling of the roster. Perhaps 2024 first round pick Drake Maye can revitalize the offense?
  • NBA: After the NFL, the NBA is typically the second-most bet on North American league among U.S. bettors. Locally, the Boston Celtics are one of the most successful, iconic franchises in league history. In the 2023-24 season, the Celtics set a new record for most NBA championships as a franchise with their 18th title.
  • NHL: NHL betting tends to lag a bit behind the other leagues in betting popularity, but we think the NHL’s partnership with ESPN and ESPN+ to cover nearly every game, every night throughout the season will lead to a natural partnership with the ESPN Bet platform.
