BetRivers Sportsbook – Michigan

BetRivers Sportsbook Review August 2024

The Rivers Casino opened in Pittsburgh in 2009 – they began on-site sports betting in late 2018, online sports betting in June 2019, and opened the BetRivers Sportsbook in September. Since then, BetRivers has become a recognizable name in the online and mobile sports betting space, with operations in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.

BetRivers offers a couple of unique perks that set them apart from other sportsbooks on the market – including a loyalty program that lets players accumulate points as they bet on sports. Players signing up with the BetRivers Sportsbook for the first time can claim a free second-chance bet worth up to $500 if their first wager doesn’t win. All players – whether on the mobile or online sportsbook – can find promotions and odds boosts that BetRivers regularly offers.

BetRivers Live Betting

The most popular online sportsbooks all offer live betting at this point, and BetRivers is no exception. Players can easily navigate to the live betting page from the menu bar as soon as they’ve registered their account, where they’ll find odds on live events and be able to make bets on spreads, moneylines, and other props as the events play out and odds change. BetRivers offers live betting on a wide variety of sports and markets, all of which can be found by simply scrolling down the live betting page.

BetRivers also offers live streaming for select sporting events – while most of the events offered aren’t ones that American customers would typically find on local television, players who’ve made their first deposit can use BetRivers to watch several events that the platform offers live betting odds for from top soccer – leagues like La Liga and Serie A – to other international events including basketball, tennis, hockey, cricket, and others.

BetRivers Banking Methods

BetRivers offers a number of deposit options for players looking to make bets with them. Here are the options currently available to load your account:

• Online Banking Transfer (ACH)
• Credit/Debit Card (Visa, Mastercard, or Discover)
• BetRivers Play+ Card
• PayPal
• Pay With Cash powered by VanillaDirect
• Wire Transfer

Deposit options are somewhat more limited – here’s what’s available:

• Online Banking Transfer (ACH)
• BetRivers Play+ Card
• PayPal
• Paper Check (delivered to address used in registration)

Note that due to measures casinos and sportsbooks have to take to ensure customers are playing in accordance with their terms and conditions, deposits will process and be available to play with much quicker than withdrawals will process.

BetRivers Key Features

BetRivers Sportsbook offers the broad range of events and markets you’d expect from a major player in the online sports betting space. Moneylines, spreads, point totals, and futures are easy to find, and each event offers a number of more specific game props for those looking to bet on them. Players can choose whether to make their bets straight or combine them via parlays or round robins from the Betslip interface.

The draw that separates BetRivers from other online and mobile sportsbooks, however, is the iRush Rewards program – which allows players to accumulate points for making bets within the casino or sportsbook that can be redeemed for a wide variety of rewards.

BetRivers awards two types of points, with type and amount varying based on qualifiers, for every bet made with them. These are the Loyalty Level Points and Bonus Store Points – the former of which count towards advancing your position in the loyalty tier, while the latter of which can be spent at the Bonus Store.

Points are collected automatically for anyone who has registered for an account with BetRivers on either the casino or sportsbook platforms, and can be redeemed for a number of special offers, expedited withdrawals, custom deposit limit assistance, and several exclusive/VIP perks.

BetRivers Mobile App

BetRivers isn’t far removed from having different apps, on both iPhone and Android, for each state they operate in. While it’s still possible to find, download, and play on the app for your individual state, BetRivers has since rolled out a primary app that can be used from anywhere that they can legally operate.

The app is easy to navigate – a menu bar at the top of the page shows each sport with live markets, which are easy enough to navigate by scrolling once the sport is selected. The bottom of the page offers players the ability to navigate to pages to view their bet slip, contact support, view promotions, or track their rewards.
