Barstool sports, a major player in the sports media and content industry launched their online sportsbook in Pennsylvania back in September of 2020. Their sportsbook is now additionally live in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, Virginia, New Jersey, Tennessee, Arizona, West Virginia, Kansas, Iowa, Louisiana, and Maryland.
Barstool is a polarizing force in the sports and social media world. They’re provocative with loud and outrageous personalities, and sometimes push the limits to controversial territory. Everyone knows who they are and you either love them or hate them, but their success in the industry speaks for itself. They were never a fantasy sports platform or a casino, but they teamed up with Penn National Gaming to create the barstool sportsbook, and have a unique user base made of all their followers who are already inclined to bet on sports.
A Quick Overview of Barstool Sportsbook in Louisiana
Barstool Sports is a master of their craft and they know their audience very well. They know what sports fans want and how they think, and therefore the UX/UI on their site is one of the best in the industry. The visuals are all on brand, the options of sports to bet on are neatly laid out on the top of the screen, and the left side menu is clean and straightforward.
Navigating the sports you want to bet on and which bets you want to make is a smooth, intuitive process. If you want to bet on basketball for example, you click basketball at the top. All of the possible basketball leagues you can bet on will appear in a clean list on the next screen (NBA, NCAAB, Euroleague, etc…). Once you click on one you’ll see three tabs: upcoming, live, and futures, and you can further navigate your way from there. On many other sportsbooks it takes a bit longer to find exactly what you’re looking for and there may be a bit of trial and error.
If you do have any issues, you can reach their customer service team directly through email, live chat, or requesting a callback.
Welcome Bonus and Signup Process on Barstool Louisiana
The registration process on Barstool is quick and painless. You’ll be asked to fill out the standard questions and then you’ll be on your way. The minimum deposit is $10, and there’s a generous number of options for payment.
The Barstool welcome bonus is essentially a risk-free bet. They’ll reimburse your first bet up to $1,000 if you lost. That money though doesn’t stay in your account forever, and if you don’t make another bet for the same amount within 30 days it will be withdrawn.
Rewards and Bonuses
Barstool’s loyalty program is in conjunction with Penn National Gaming’s “mychoice” program. Through making bets in the sportsbook, you’ll be able to accumulate points and ultimately unlock all sorts of rewards, special offers, and bonuses the more you bet.
In addition to the loyalty program and the new player bonus, Barstool also has a few more standing offers you can take advantage of on a daily basis. Parlay+ allows you to build parlays with multiple bets from a same game parlay as well as other bets from anywhere in the sportsbook. You can also get parlay insurance on any parlay with 4+ legs. Say you bet the point spread of 4 NBA games on a given night, if 3 legs hit but one doesn’t, you’ll be eligible to get 50% of your bet back.
The barstool personalities or “Stoolies” like founder Dave Portnoy and Dan Katz (Big Cat) will also offer boosts and bonuses from time to time if you bet with them.
