Betrivers

The new customer bonus at BetRivers is a second chance bonus bet. To qualify, you can click our “Get bonus” link, set up an account and use the promo code SPORTS when you make your first deposit.

Once your account if funded, bet $10 or more on any hockey market. If it loses, you will get your money back as a bonus credit. The maximum rebate you can earn will depend on which state you are in. For New Jersey we are currently getting $250.

The bonus credit will have a 1x playthrough requirement at minimum odds of -200, which must be completed within 30 days. You cannot divide this bet credit up, so you will need to make a single wager. Any profits earned from that wager will then be paid in cash.

There are loads of additional bonuses for hockey fans at BetRivers too. They include odds boosts, which are located in the “Specials” section, plus matched bets, parlay insurance, Bet & Get bonuses and contests. BetRivers has a loyalty program named iRush Rewards too, which allows you to earn bonus credits and other rewards on a regular basis.

BetRivers is one of several licensed online sportsbooks powered by a Swedish company called Kambi. It uses Kambi’s award-winning white-label software platform and risk management service, which is very impressive. The layout is clear and simple, and there are handy tools for building parlays, creating alternative lines and browsing props.

Hockey fans will find more than 200 markets on each NHL game.

It offers an even wider range of options on soccer games, and sports like football and basketball are also covered very comprehensively. It also takes bets on niche sports like jai alai and handball along with major sports like golf, tennis and MMA.

The odds are set by Kambi, so they are the same as those found at other Kambi clients, such as Unibet. They are sometimes market leading, but at other times they are inferior to those on offer at rivals like FanDuel and BetMGM. It is, therefore, always worth including BetRivers in any odds comparison searches you conduct.

BetRivers covers a large selection of hockey leagues, including the NHL and various leagues in Europe. You can bet on major international tournaments such as the World Championship too. It offers lots of futures markets, along with a huge choice of options on each game.

If you click on an NHL game, you will be shown the most popular markets, starting with the moneyline, puck line and total goals. It also offers detailed pre-game stats on each NHL team, which can help with your betting decisions, along with bite-sized tips. You can then navigate to a very effective same game parlay builder or browse more than 100 props.

You will struggle to find a sportsbook that offers stronger coverage of the NHL or European hockey leagues. The live betting section is also excellent, and live streaming is available on some hockey games.

Instant deposits are available via Visa, MasterCard, Discover, PayPal, Play+ card, an e-check or an online bank transfer at BetRivers. You can also pay cash at the casino cage in some states. The minimum deposit is $10 and the upper limit varies depending on the method you select. All deposits and withdrawals are free.

There is an automatic payout system called RushPay in place. It immediately approves more than 80% of withdrawal requests, so you should normally receive an instant payout if you select Play+. PayPal withdrawals are quick too, but e-checks and bank transfers can take a few business days with some banks. Withdrawals also start at $10. Any players wishing to arrange a very large payout can contact customer service.

BetRivers is one of the best hockey betting sites for customer service. It provides support on a 24/7 basis over the phone, through live chat or via email. Many rivals do not offer phone support, so this is another great feature at BetRivers.

You can always receive quick, helpful support, as the agents are experienced and knowledgeable. There is an online help center at BetRivers Sportsbook too, featuring lots of helpful FAQs.
