Most of the first Tennessee online sports betting platforms will be branches of popular websites like DraftKings, BetMGM, or FanDuel. This is great for residents as these platforms are already successful and stable, meaning a straightforward and easy experience for patrons. These will be the top options for Tennessee sports betting because they already have the reputation and offer some great features like live betting, live streaming of games, daily fantasy picks and more. Each platform has its own features, so it’s best to decide what you’re looking for or try out a few sites and see which one best suits your playstyle and needs. Here is a quick explanation of what you can expect from the top Tennessee sports betting platforms.

DraftKings was founded in 2012 in the US as one of the first major fantasy sports platforms. As United States law considers fantasy sports a “game of skill” as opposed to gambling, DraftKings was allowed to operate across the country. In 2018, DraftKings had the honor of becoming the first mobile wagering app in the state of New Jersey, officially branching out from their standard fantasy sports offerings. They essentially beat out the local casinos and competitor platforms and became the first sports betting entity in the state. When Tennessee sports betting was first announced, everyone knew it was just a matter of time before DraftKings would show up.

After spending some time on the platform and experiencing everything they have to offer, you’ll find that DraftKings is one of the best all-around sports betting platforms. Their interface is smooth and easy to navigate, making finding your chosen sport and wager a breeze. The available odds are always competitive with the rest of the market and they have numerous different deposit and withdrawal options. In addition, they have gained a reputation for great sign up bonuses and contests like the NFL Pick ‘Em contest that will hand out $2 million in prizes this football season.

While platforms like FanDuel and DraftKings will have their own advantages, BetMGM certainly stands out by offering online casino games, sports betting, and online poker, all with the same login. This makes it a solid option for anyone that is looking for more than just sports betting. BetMGM has a great trust score and is known as a reliable and trustworthy platform to consider. It’s also worth noting that they are backed by the MGM Grand Casino and Hotel.

If it is important to you to have low withdrawal fees and many different deposit/withdrawal methods to choose from, BetMGM is a great platform to consider. Their list of available sports is adequate while not being exceptional, but all of the major options from baseball to football, soccer and MMA are there. Another aspect that really sets them apart is their live betting capabilities. Not only can you bet during active sporting events, but their options are really handy. First they have live streaming capabilities, allowing players to watch the game right from the BetMGM website or mobile app. There are also options for “instant betting” as in the next drive of a football game.

FanDuel is the main competitor to DraftKings and other fantasy sports websites. They are a successful brand with a huge budget behind them that has been helping them push into new states across the US, the most recent being Tennessee and Illinois. Over the years they have been active, FanDuel has paid out millions of dollars in prizes and contests to players across the US and it will quickly become a welcome part of the Tennessee gambling markets.

FanDuel has an especially efficient design layout that makes finding the section you want quick and efficient. Other sportsbooks have a way of cluttering everything but FanDuel prefers a straightforward approach. Normally, their signup bonuses are especially generous as well, with a free bet up to $1000 being the norm. As a giant in the fantasy sports and sports betting scene, there is a lot to appreciate on this platform.

As you may have noticed, most of the options for Tennessee sports betting are major businesses that have multiple branches across the US and the world. Action 24/7 stands to set itself apart by being a homegrown option that represents the community. Based in Nashville, TN, this platform will compete against other giants of the industry like FanDuel and DraftKings.

It’s not clear yet what promotions or services they will offer to their local clients, but they promise to have a streamlined and simplistic interface, as well as an increased focus on customer service. Their call center for these matters will also be located in Nashville so they can stay close to their roots. As time goes on, expect more of these smaller sportsbooks to pop up among all of the legal states in the US where sports betting is gaining traction.

As these Tennessee sports betting platforms are just getting started, there are only a few offers at the moment but there will surely be more once things kick off. Online sports betting platforms will all have their own offers to attract new users. Currently, DraftKings is offering a $50 bonus bet for all new Tennessee sports betting accounts. The best part is, no promo code is needed, it is automatically added when you sign up. BetMGM is another platform to look out for. They are offering a $500 bonus bet for new Tennessee accounts as well. FanDuel may not have any specific welcome offers for new Tennessee players yet, but their $1000 sweat-free bet is especially generous in this industry and certainly enticing for new players. Keep a lookout as more Tennessee gambling platforms become available for more bonuses and promotions.

Most Tennessee sports betting platforms will have their own dedicated sports betting apps that you can utilize. You will find that both DraftKings and FanDuel for instance are well known for their efficient and feature-packed mobile apps. These apps are great because you can follow the latest in sports betting odds, live scores, and news about your favorite sports. Fans of fantasy sports should already be quite familiar with using these mobile apps. For Tennessee mobile sports betting options, we can more than likely expect apps from platforms like DraftKings, FanDuel, FoxBet, William Hill, BetAmerica, BetMGM, and Bet365.
