Browse Mobile Apps
Nevada has more licensed sportsbooks than any other state — over 185 retail locations and 12+ mobile apps, all regulated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Whether you're a Las Vegas tourist looking for a seat at a big screen or a local who wants to bet from your couch, this directory covers every legal option.
Which Nevada sportsbook apps are actually live right now?
The short list of licensed mobile apps includes Caesars Sportsbook, BetMGM, FanDuel, William Hill (now Caesars-affiliated), Circa Sports, and Atlantis Sports, among others. That's 12+ apps in total. Each one is affiliated with a licensed Nevada casino — state law requires it.
One name you won't find: DraftKings. The company has skipped Nevada specifically because of the in-person registration requirement. More on that below.
Browse the full rundown on our licensed Nevada mobile sportsbook apps page, where each app gets its own breakdown.
What is Nevada's in-person registration rule?
This is the big one. Before you can place a single mobile bet in Nevada, you must walk into a licensed casino and register in person. No exceptions. You verify your identity at the property, then your app activates.
It's a rule that predates the smartphone era and has cost Nevada operators and the state serious revenue. Arizona earned nearly $77 million more in sportsbook revenue than Nevada over one comparable period — even though Nevada took in $1.7 billion more in total bets. The difference comes down to mobile adoption.

Where are Nevada's 185+ retail sportsbooks?
From the mega-books on the Strip to neighborhood casinos in Reno and Sparks, Nevada's retail sportsbook scene is unmatched anywhere in the country. Betting kiosks extend coverage even further across the state.
Circa Sports runs a high-profile book in downtown Las Vegas. Atlantis Sports operates out of Reno and sets its own lines independently — unusual for a regional operator. The Nevada retail sportsbooks directory maps out all 185+ locations by region.
What welcome bonuses do Nevada sportsbooks offer?
Two offers are confirmed as of available data:
- BetMGM Nevada: If your first qualifying bet loses, you get Bonus Bets equal to your stake, up to $250. The Bonus Bet stake is forfeited on a win — it's not fully cashable.
- Caesars Sportsbook NV: New accounts can earn up to a $50 Bonus Bet with a qualifying promo code and first real-money wager. The Bonus Bet must be used within 30 calendar days.
One offer per customer, per household is the standard limit across NV sportsbooks. The Nevada sportsbook welcome bonuses and promo offers page compares current deals side by side and explains the fine print.
Do you owe taxes on Nevada sportsbook winnings?
Nevada has no state income tax on gambling winnings — you keep 100% after your federal obligation. But federal taxes fully apply. The IRS treats sports betting winnings as ordinary income.
Sportsbooks issue a W-2G when you win $600 or more at 300× your wager. If net winnings hit $5,000 or more, up to 24% federal withholding may come out automatically. A 2024 U.S. Treasury audit found roughly $1.4 billion in uncollected gambling taxes from 2018–2020 — enforcement is increasing.
Our Nevada sportsbook taxes guide covers W-2G forms, loss deductions, and what to do at filing time.
Who regulates Nevada sportsbooks?
The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) has exclusive authority over every licensed sportsbook in the state — retail, mobile, and kiosk. The governing statute is NRS Chapter 463. No operator can legally take a bet in Nevada without NGCB licensing.
The minimum age is 21+, no exceptions. Daily fantasy sports and online horse racing operate under separate restrictions that limit their availability in Nevada.
