By Ready to sign up for a sportsbook and make a deposit? Here are a few easy steps you can follow.
We’ve kept it pretty general because some sportsbooks use different terminology for everyday actions, e.g., “sign up” or “register.” If you run into any roadblocks while signing up, contact customer service for help.
1: Choose Your App(s)
Select the sportsbook(s) you wish to use. Download the app (most are available for iOS or Android) or head to the desktop website.
2: Create An Account
Register for an account. Follow the prompts and fill in the information requested. This will include the following:
- First and last name
- Email address
- Password (you will create one that meets the sportsbook’s security standards)
- Home address
- Phone number
- Date of birth
- Photo ID
- Social Security Number (or the last four digits, depending on the sportsbook)
The information you provide will be used to confirm your identity and prevent you from creating duplicate accounts or claiming multiple bonuses.
3: Connect PayPal & Deposit
If you’re a first-time sportsbook user, you’ll likely be ushered to the deposits page right after signing up. If not, head to the payments page.
Select PayPal as your preferred deposit method and follow the prompts to connect your account to the sportsbook. Usually, the sportsbook will take you to a web page requesting you sign into your PayPal account. Once you do this and allow PayPal to connect, you’ll return to the deposit page.
Select the amount you’d like to add to your account and make your deposit. Remember to check for a bonus or promotional offer, especially a first deposit match that only counts when you first fund your account.
4: Place Your Bets
Your deposit should hit your account almost instantly. Now, you can peruse the odds and betting markets and place bets with your newly funded account.
