Best features of BetRivers Sportsbook

BetRivers is a pretty well-rounded sportsbook site with a number of great features for players to enjoy. Here are our top three favorite things about BetRivers:

• Live betting interface: In game betting at BetRivers is second to none. The live page is fast, and odds update rapidly to help you make the most educated bets possible. Simply click the “live” button at the top left of the desktop site or app to get started.

How could BetRivers improve?

While BetRivers is one of the best online sportsbooks available in WV, there’s always room for improvement. Here are a few ways we think the site could be even better.

• Better support layout: Overall, the help center at BetRivers is pretty good. Its FAQ page, however, would benefit from a little reorganization. We’d like to see a grid-style format to make it easier to search through the list of questions offered.
• Ability to minimize columns: We appreciate the BetRivers live newsfeed is a cool feature, but it isn’t for everyone. It would be great if players could minimize the newsfeed in order to free up some space on the site.

Types of bets available at BetRivers online betting

BetRivers has a good number of online sports betting options for players in West Virginia. You’ll find moneylines, spreads, totals, props, parlays and teasers, among others. Players can bet on WV college basketball and football games as well as show support for popular teams across the US. You can place pregame and in game bets at the site, as well as futures for long-term bets.

BetRivers is most known for its Jackpot Parlay Tool, which allows players to easily string together a parlay using a method similar to that used for state lottery games. The tool will choose eight bets at random that you can then place quickly to try your luck, or edit for more control.

West Virginia team betting guide

While we aren’t home to any professional teams in WV, the state has a few Division I college teams that are worth a mention. We also have a couple of pro teams fairly close by. Here’s an idea of the teams close to home that you can bet on at BetRivers Sportsbook.

• WV has a couple of college teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The West Virginia Mountaineers play in the Big 12 Conference, while the Marshall Thundering Herd plays in Conference USA. You’re able to place bets on both teams as well as their divisions at BetRivers.
• If you’re looking for some NFL action, WV has a number of nearby teams. You can bet on the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Football Team, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns.
• In MLB, West Virginia has a couple of pro teams in neighboring states. Place bets on the Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds.
• For nearby NHL teams, think the Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
• And finally, when placing bets on the NBA at BetRivers, look out for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers.

Though this may not be the same as betting on your favorite teams in the next town, BetRivers has a large enough range that every WV user is sure to find something of interest.

BetRivers futures market

Futures involve betting on season-long outcomes such as championships and league and division titles for teams, as well as individual player awards and accomplishments. The odds at BetRivers will change frequently based on a number of factors, including current performance and team changes.

You can bet on particular players — such as the top goal scorer in the English Premier League or the most assists in the Bundesliga. Or there’s tennis, where for instance you could bet on the winner of the Australian Open across both the men’s and the women’s divisions.

BetRivers has yet to introduce its own retail sportsbook in WV, though we’ll update this article as soon as this changes.

The sportsbook’s owner has, however, recently partnered with Century Casino’s Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort ahead of launch. It’s likely that BetRivers users will soon be able to visit the resort as part of the sportsbook’s land-based offering.

History of BetRivers

BetRivers is owned by Rush Street Gaming, which is based in Chicago. Its online sportsbook first launched in Pennsylvania and later established itself in Colorado, Indiana and Illinois. While WV legalized sports betting in 2018, BetRivers launched there a couple of years later.

Is BetRivers the best sportsbook in West Virginia?

We really like the overall feel of the BetRivers site and think it is a strong contender as one of the best online sportsbooks in the state.

The desktop site and app work hand-in-hand to offer smooth betting from anywhere within state lines. While we might not be able to crown the sportsbook just yet, BetRivers really is a fantastic online sportsbook to consider giving a try.
