Penn National has gained market access for New York in a two-way deal with Rush Street Interactive (RSI) that also gives BetRivers access to four new states.

1. We're sorry but Barstool Sportsbook doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue.
2. Barstool has a larger digital audience and social following than any company involved in the sports betting space. And Barstool Sports Advisors is your one-stop shop for all sports betting hits and misses. With a weekly long-form episode, and shorter mid-week episodes during Football season, El Pres and Big Cat put in their bets for the week.

Under the deals announced Monday, Penn receives second-skin access to the New York sports betting and iGaming market. That's subject to mobile legalization of course, which is no sure thing.

On the other side, RSI gains access to Ohio, Maryland, and Missouri. Those are also second-skin agreements, each lasting 20 years.

Finally, RSI gets the right of first offer for a potential skin in Texas through Penn National.

Barstool Sportsbook to NY sports betting market?

Penn SVP of interactive gaming Jon Kaplowitz said New York was a major priority for the Barstool Sportsbook.

'We are hopeful that the New York State Assembly will follow those leading revenue producing states that allow for multiple skins for mobile sports betting,' said Kaplowitz. 'A state the size of New York certainly warrants open competition and a free market approach.'

Whether Penn gets that free market is an open question. Governor Andrew Cuomo has been very vocal about a wanting a lottery-run market with limited operators.

But there are also open market sports betting billsmoving through the NY legislature.

BetRivers expansion

As for RSI, the company said it chose the first three states because of their proximity to RSI strongholds in Illinois and Pennsylvania.

'The addition of Ohio, Maryland and Missouri to our market access portfolio builds on RSI's success in neighboring states and will create enhanced marketing efficiencies for our BetRivers brand,' said Richard Schwartz, president of RSI.

Schwartz said the company would have more market access deals in the future as opportunities arose.

When will new RSI states legalize sports betting?

• A bill failed to get across the line in Ohio last year. But key lawmakers are confident it gets done in 2021.
• Maryland voters approved sports betting via referendum last year. Now lawmakers must hammer out the details. A key hearing will be held Thursday.
• Missouri is also a favorite to pass sports betting in 2021. But there's currently some debate over the inclusion of in-person registration.
• Texas of course is a wildcard. There's opposition to the sports betting movement in 2021. But plenty of stakeholders are maneuvering behind the scenes for 2022 and beyond.

Moneyline does NOT have a marketing relationship with any of the products or services listed on this page. Online sports betting got a lot more entertaining late last year when Barstool Sportsbook entered the field. Brand loyalists will get a kick out of the Barstool-themed bet types and promotions concocted by the company's popular personalities. But even if you're not a diehard Stoolie and just want to lay some action, you'll find everything the best traditional sportsbooks offer on the Barstool app.

Pros and Cons for 2021

After testing 20 online sportsbooks for our 2021 review, here are our top findings on Barstool Sportsbook:

• Barstool Sportsbook's mobile app is easy to use, great for quickly placing bets, and exceeds the industry standard experience.
• Stoolies will appreciate the 'Betting with Barstool' feature which allows bettors to throw down money on bets created by popular Barstool personalities.
• Fans of individual Barstool personalities may wonder why there isn't more branded content — like video clips from the Barstool Sports Advisors show or Gambling Cave — integrated into the app.

Supported states: Michigan and Pennsylvania

Casino: Of the states Barstool Sportsbook operates in, Michigan and Pennsylvania have legalized online casino games. Barstool's selection of casino games features 66 slots, virtual table games (such as roulette, blackjack) and virtual poker.

Sports and Bets Offered

Barstool Sportsbook's built-in hook is its own well-known brand. The site smartly integrates Barstool personalities into the experience, inviting users to follow their favorite podcast hosts and place bets with or against the wonky ones Barstool media personalities create. Beyond that, bettors are will find typical sportsbook fare — an average selection of sports (10 to 15 throughout the year), betting features, and common bet types. Noteworthy features include:

Bet with Barstool: 'Bet with Barstool ' allows users to wager on bets made by Barstool Sports personalities. Popular favorites include Dave Portnoy, Dan (Big Cat) Katz, and Marty Mush. These bets — which Barstool brands as 'Barstool Exclusives' — are often introduced first via other Barstool media shows. I discovered 'The Hanson' (an over/under bet on the total points scored across all NFL games over the weekend) listening to my favorite sports podcast, Pardon My Take.

Some 'Bet with Barstool' bets also feature increased odds. For example, Dave Portnoy's future bet on the Patriots to win Super Bowl LV allowed users to place $10 on the Patriots at 100:1 odds, which were the best odds available at that time. Bet with Barstool is fun, and if you're a Stoolie like me you'll get a kick out of seeing what your favorite Barstool personalities are betting.

Quick Pick 6: The Quick Pick 6 parlay builder recommends games with odds between -120 and +200 to build a parlay. (Reminder: A parlay bet is a group of bets, typically spread, moneyline, or total bets, combined into one bet to increase the payout odds. For the parlay to win, each separate bet has to win.) On Barstool's website, users can select between two to six bets to parlay. However, the feature is more limiting on the mobile app, where bettors are required to choose six bets.

Although parlays are exciting, keep in mind that online betting sites like Barstool Sportsbook focus on enticing users to make more parlay bets because the odds favor the sportsbook.

Cash out feature: Like most sportsbooks, Barstool Sportsbook offers a cash out feature. This allows bettors to amend their original bet and lock in a profit or a loss by settling the bet (or a portion of the bet) before the event has finished.

Odds

We are still collecting odds data on Barstool Sportsbook. Our Barstool Sportsbook Odds rating will be released in early 2021.

Methodology: To score Odds, Moneyline.com gathers data from 21 sportsbooks over several months. For our 2020 Sportsbook Review, over 10,000 data points were collected for spread, moneyline, and over/under (bets).

I collected odds for spread, moneyline, and total bets for over 75 NFL games, 75 MLB games, 75 NBA games, 75 NHL games, 75 Soccer games (various leagues), and 75 NCAA Football and 75 NCAA Basketball games. When collecting odds, I collected the same games simultaneously for each sportsbook, ensuring data accuracy.

Live Betting

Even though it lacks several common live betting features — there's no live match tracker, running clocks or live streaming — Barstool Sportsbook will keep you entertained with its exceptional assortment of live bet types.

Instant bets: Barstool offers action on a wide array of instant bets. Instant bets are bets on the next play or the next few minutes of a game. Examples of instant bets include: 'What will the result of the Patriots' next drive be? A touchdown, field goal, punt, or turnover?' or, 'Will the Patriots score a first down on their next drive?' For tennis fans, an instant bet would be, 'Who will score the next point?'

Prop bets: The variety of live prop bets on Barstool Sportsbook (there are often 10 to 15 live props going on) helps alleviate the absence of features such as a live match tracker. (Reminder: A live prop bet is a prop bet on a game currently being played (e.g., 'Who will score the next touchdown for the Packers?').)

Live match tracker: As noted earlier, you won't find a live match tracker — an animated graphic that details which team is attacking — in Barstool's live betting menu, even though it's standard at most other sportsbooks.

Barstool Gambling App

But the live betting feature I miss most at Barstool is a running clock. Without a running clock, it's harder to determine whether or not live odds are in sync with the TV broadcast. This oversight negatively impacted Barstool's rating in this category.

Live Streaming: Barstool Sportsbook does not stream live sporting events through its app. Due to the high costs of licensing broadcasting rights, all sports betting sites that offer live streaming only do so for international games and less popular sports such as tennis. If live streaming is a must-have feature, check out FanDuel or Unibet.

Barstool Sportsbook Mobile App

When you're looking up lines, adding bets to the bet slip, and adjusting account preferences, you want your online sportsbook experience to be seamless. The Barstool Sportsbook app is so easy to use that it instantly became one of my favorites. Creating an account takes less than five minutes (in my experience some sportsbooks take a lot longer), and users get an automatic free $10 bonus during signup , and another $5 bonus for customizing their accounts.

One major missed opportunity on both the Barstool Sportsbook mobile app and desktop website is the lack of integration of even more Barstool media content. Barstool is brimming with unique gambling content on its website and social media platforms. I'm sure fans would like to see more of it on the sportsbook app.

Education

I was hoping to see the Barstool touch extend to the sportsbook's educational content. Alas , beyond a frequently asked questions section, Barstool Sportsbook offers minimal education. I can't help imagining what they could have created with personalities like Marty Mush or Big Cat making funny videos to teach newcomers how to bet. Touches like this would give the sportsbook more personality — and a built-in edge over competing sportsbooks.

Bonuses & Promotions

Barstool Sportsbook App

Promotions at Barstool Sportsbook are legit, with standouts like risk-free bets up to four times the amount you'll find elsewhere. Plus, there are plenty of chances for bettors to win exclusive Barstool apparel.

New customers: Barstool Sportsbook offers new customers a risk-free bet up to $1,000, as well as $15 for creating and customizing an account. Although risk-free bets are a common bonus in the industry, most sportsbooks only offer $250 or $500… a fraction of the value of Barstool's promotion.

Existing customers: Ongoing promotions are one of Barstool Sportsbook's specialties. In addition to typical promos (e.g., odds boosts and parlay boosts), Barstool dishes out exclusive Barstool Sports apparel, holds drawings to win cars like a Dodge Challenger, and fronts bonus cash tied to events where Barstool personalities compete.

I cackled when I saw a 'DDTG Bets' (Davey Day Trader Global) promotion right after the 2021 GameStop/Reddit stock brouhaha. All bettors (regardless of the game outcome) who placed a minimum $25 wager on the Citadel Bulldogs vs. UNC Greensboro Spartans basketball game received a free t-shirt depicting the CEO of Robinhood as a clown.

Daily odds boosts: Like most sportsbooks, Barstool Sportsbook offers daily odds boosts. Here's how it works: if Barstool boosted the odds of the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win by 7+ points from +212 to +250, you would win $2.50 instead of $2.12 for every $1 wagered.

For diehard Stoolies, features like Barstool-branded bets and promotions from popular personalities elevate gameplay even more.
