How We Pick the Best Indiana Sports Betting Sites

Gambling.com has spent years evaluating online sports betting sites around the world. Our review of Indiana sites uses the same criteria to determine which sites are the most player-friendly, including:

• Safety and support: We only recommend sites licensed by the Indiana Gaming Commission, ensuring your accounts are secure. We also engage with support staff to determine response times.
• Bonus offers: Every online sportsbook offers welcome bonuses to new players. Each of those bonuses comes with its own terms and conditions. We read the fine print to determine which bonuses are the most lucrative and restrictive.
• Betting odds: Shopping for the most attractive odds and prices is a key to success for every sports bettor. Spreads constantly fluctuate and betting with the most odds-friendly sites will save you money.
• Sports bet options: Do you prefer making moneyline bets, parlays or in-game wagering? Indiana online sportsbooks all offer a different range of betting options and opportunities.
• Site and design: The software used at each Indiana online betting site is different. We examine speed, layout and ease of navigation in determining the best mobile sports betting experience on Apple and Android devices.

How to Sign up to an Online Sportsbook in Indiana

Indiana online sportsbooks make the sign-up process simple and quick. Select your online sportsbook of choice. You will be asked to provide some personal information, such as name, address, email address and last four digits of your Social Security number, which is required to verify a customer’s age and identity. Some customers will need toprovide their entire SSN. This helps prevent underage players from gambling online and identify other potential fraud.

You may be asked to download geolocation software, which enables the online sportsbook to track your location. You must be physically located within the state of Indiana to place to a legal wager.

The final step is funding your account. Once you’ve made a deposit, you are ready to wager. If you encounter any problems along the way, all legal Indiana online sportsbooks have a customer service department for outreach.

After you have registered, make sure to download the sportsbook app, which most sports betting sites have available on the site.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods on Indiana Online Sportsbooks

Indiana online sports betting sites offer a range of payment options to make deposits and withdrawals. Among the most popular:

• Play+: A form of prepaid debit card that players can fund with a credit card or checking account with no fees. Deposits are made instantly and withdrawals can be made from your online account directly to your Play+ prepaid account. You can use the card at multiple sports betting sites and withdraw your winnings at your local ATM. You can also use Play+ to shop anywhere Discover is accepted.
• Casino prepaid card: These branded prepaid cards works like a gift card and ensure easy deposit. Many online sportsbooks will allow you to apply on their website with no fees.
• PayPal: The most popular e-wallet option can be set up with a credit or debit card to fund your account instantly. If you deposited funds from your PayPal account, you can withdraw funds to the same account.
• Other e-wallets: In addition to PayPal, players may have several other e-wallet options, including Neteller and Skrill. You can set up an account with a credit card.
• Bank transfer/ACH: Both allow players to transfer money from their bank account to online sportsbook account and vice versa. The ACH uses a third party, such as the Automated Cleainghouse, to facilitate payment. Transactions usually take a few days.
• Credit/debit cards: The most popular deposit method when successful, with Visa and MasterCard the most accepted options. Be aware that some credit card companies - slow to catch up with the rapid ascension of legal sports betting in the U.S. - may reject your deposit request. Best to have a backup plan in place such as Play+ or PayPal. Other credit card companies may treat this transaction as a cash advance and charge fees.
• Cash: If you prefer to deal in cash, simply visit the cashier cage at the Indiana land-based casino that is partnered with your online sportsbook. You will need to show identification.

Indiana law prohibits sports betting by student-athletes, NCAA staff, athletics department staff, game officials and student managers and trainers. Purdue University subsequently implemented a sports wagering policy that bans all faculty, staff and non-athlete students from gambling on any sporting event involving Purdue teams. The legality of that policy may eventually be decided in the courts.

Types of Sports Bets in Indiana

Indiana online sportsbooks offer all the most popular sports wagers, including in-game betting. The list of bets includes:

• Moneyline: A bet on a specific team to win a game with no point spread. Let’s say the Indiana Pacers have moneyline odds of -150 to beat the Chicago Bulls, who are +130. That means bettors can wager $15 to win $10 (or $150 to win $100) on the favored Pacers to win the game, or $10 to win $13 ($100 to win $130) on the underdog Bulls.
• Spread: The most popular NFL bet at top NFL sportsbooks, with a team favored to win by a specific number of points. If the Colts are 3-point favorites over the New York Jets, the Colts must win by more than 3 points to cover the spread. If you’re betting on the underdog, the Jets must lose by 2 points or less, or win the game, for you to cash. If the Colts win by 3, the result is a push and the bet is refunded.
• Over/Unders: Also known as totals, a wager that the combined score of the two teams is higher or lower than the number set by the sportsbook.
• Futures: A bet on a game, event or season that will be completed in the future, not on the day the wager is placed. Futures bet examples include wagering on a team to win the Super Bowl before the season starts; or who will win the British Open before it tees off.
• Parlay: A single bet on more than one game. To cash, each selection in the parlay must be correct. The more teams in the parlay, the higher the odds and bigger the payout.
• Proposition bet: Generally, a wager on an individual player or team statistic, as opposed to final score. For example, a prop bet can be how many receiving yards or catches in a game for a specific Colts WR. Or how many points or assists for a Pacers player in a particular game.
• Teasers: A teaser bet allows players to adjust the point spread for a given game in exchange for reduced odds. The bet is often made in a parlay format. A college football example: Notre Dame is a 3-point favorite over Stanford. In a 6-point teaser, bettors could select Notre Dame +3 or Stanford +9. The same 6-point adjustment is applied to other games in the parlay. The reduced payout level depends on how many points are teased.
• Round Robin: A less risky wager than parlays because all of your selections don’t have to win. In a round robin, you construct three different two-team parlays and cash if one of the parlays win. The round robin offers less risk, but also smaller payouts than traditional parlays.
• In-game betting: The fastest growing segment of online sports betting in Indiana and across the U.S. Wagers are placed on mobile sports betting apps after a game has started. Top online sportsbooks use computer algorithms to adjust point spreads and odds in real time.
