Jersey City to Open First Indoor Pickleball Club

August 18, 2025

Pickleball continues to see rapid growth across the United States and in New Jersey. Recent announcements confirm new developments from both PB Club and PickleRage, expanding indoor playing opportunities in the state. PB Club will bring Jersey City its first facility dedicated exclusively to pickleball, while PickleRage is advancing plans for larger-scale venues in multiple locations.

Key Takeaways

PB Club will open Jersey City’s first dedicated indoor pickleball facility with three pro-style courts and coworking space in an 8,350-square-foot location.
PB Club plans to launch three more Hudson County locations within 18 months.
PickleRage is building an 18-court, 40,000+ square-foot complex in Union County and adding locations in Moorestown and Plainfield.

PB Club Opening in Twin City Shopping Center

PB Club will occupy 8,350 square feet in the Twin City Shopping Center at Garfield Avenue and 53rd Street, near the Jersey City–Bayonne border. The facility will feature three professional-style indoor courts in a climate-controlled environment. Amenities will include a water station, vending machines, grab-and-go snacks, paddle racks, stools, and a lounge area with coworking space.

The coworking area will provide private, soundproof workspaces for remote workers. Members will access the facility through an app-based system, allowing autonomous entry between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m. daily without a staffed front desk. Membership will cost $110 per month. The club will also offer lessons, clinics, and coaching.

This location is the first in Jersey City designed exclusively for pickleball. PB Club is expected to open in late October or early November 2025, and they plan to open three additional facilities in Hudson County within the next 18 months.

Levin Management Corporation, which manages and leases the 95,000-square-foot Twin City Shopping Center, arranged the lease through representative Nicole Anderocci. The center’s tenants include Aqui Market, Retro Fitness, Catch Air, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen, Dunkin’, and Sakura Teriyaki. In July 2025, the center recorded more than 203,500 visits according to Placer.ai data.

PickleRage Expansion Across New Jersey

PickleRage currently operates a location in Plainfield and has announced additional sites in Middlesex and Moorestown. The company is developing an 18-court indoor pickleball venue in Union County as part of the New World Sports Complex at 900 North Avenue. The facility will exceed 40,000 square feet and will include a player’s lounge, pro shop, and digital booking system. Programming will cover clinics, leagues, tournaments, and social events for all skill levels.

The Union County location is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of this year and will be operated by Mike Silva, a fitness and sports facility leader with prior executive roles and experience founding The Edge Fitness.

PickleRage has also signed franchise agreements for locations in Western Wayne County, Michigan, and Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. Nationwide, the company plans more than 500 locations over the next five years, with an investment range of $827,800 to $1.8 million per club.

New Jersey Officials and Activists Rally in Hoboken for Climate Superfund Act

Moses Lookman

August 18, 2025

On August 14, 2024, Hoboken’s Pier A on Sinatra Drive was the site of the “Climate Superfund Strike,” an event organized to push for the passage of the Climate Superfund Act. The rally began at 11 a.m. and brought together elected officials, environmental activists, labor unions, and residents from across New Jersey.

The bill, designated A-4696 in the Assembly, is sponsored by Assemblyman John Allen of the 32nd Legislative District and State Senator John McKeon of the 27th District. It would make fossil fuel companies financially responsible for the damage caused by climate change. The measure follows the approach of the federal Superfund Act, which requires polluters to fund the cleanup of contaminated sites, and is modeled after similar laws in other Northeastern states.

Key Takeaways

The Climate Superfund Act would require fossil fuel corporations to pay for climate change–related damages, removing the cost burden from taxpayers.
Over 200 participants, including prominent state officials and advocacy groups, attended the Hoboken rally to support the bill’s passage.
The legislation has backing from 45 New Jersey towns, dozens of legislators, and over 100 labor and advocacy organizations.

Legislative Support and Broad Backing

The Climate Superfund Act has the backing of 45 municipalities, more than 100 labor and advocacy groups, and dozens of Assembly members and state Senators. Supporters include 32BJ SEIU, the New Jersey Working Families Party, and NJ Peace Action. Proponents point to data showing that extreme climate events cost the United States $150 billion annually, a figure that does not include healthcare costs, loss of life, or environmental damage. These costs, they say, fall most heavily on poor and disadvantaged communities.

Assemblyman Allen described the legislation as a matter of common sense and said that fossil fuel companies have misled the public about climate change for decades while profiting from it. He stated that those who have financially benefited from environmental harm should be required to pay for repairs.

State Leaders Address Climate Risks

Ben Dziobek, Executive Director of the Climate Revolution Action Network (CRAN), called climate change the largest crisis humanity has ever faced. CRAN, established in 2024, has 10,000 Gen Z members across New Jersey and helped organize the rally. Dziobek said municipalities should not bear the financial burden of climate destruction and described working-class residents as having been left to cover the costs of recovery.

Senator McKeon referenced recent flooding in Juneau, Alaska, and Chattanooga, Tennessee, as examples of climate-related disasters. He said about 70,000 New Jersey homes are at risk and predicted flooding in the Meadowlands without stronger protections. McKeon credited Hoboken’s resilience parks with preventing significant flooding from a storm the night before the rally and said the bill should be passed within two months.

Mayor Ravi Bhalla of Hoboken, who is also the Democratic Assembly nominee for the 32nd Legislative District, pointed to repeated flooding events and the destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy as evidence of the city’s vulnerability. He said the cost of addressing climate impacts should not be left to local communities and taxpayers.

Residents and Officials Share Firsthand Experiences

Hoboken resident Liz Cohen described how Superstorm Sandy damaged her home, destroying her son’s bedroom and knocking out utility service. She said she received insurance and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance, but some residents were denied aid because the damage was classified as an “act of God.” Cohen said she continues to experience panic attacks during heavy rainfall.

State Senator Raj Mukherji of the 32nd District outlined projections showing that the Hudson River could rise by two feet by 2050 and more than five feet by 2100. He said those who contributed to these conditions should be held financially responsible.

Hudson County Executive Craig Guy repeated a past statement from former President Barack Obama that climate change is happening now. Hudson County Board of Commissioners Chair Anthony Romano recalled that the Hudson River was once more polluted and said further action is needed.

Large Attendance and Closing Remarks

The rally drew more than 200 participants, including Assemblywoman Barbara McCann Stamato of the 31st District, Assemblyman Michael Venezia of the 34th District, Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill, State Senator Benjie Wimberly of the 35th District, and Democratic Assembly nominee Katie Brennan for the 32nd District.

Allen concluded the event by stressing that urgency is needed to pass the bill. He referenced his recent cancer diagnosis and successful surgery, saying the experience reinforced the understanding that time is limited both for individuals and in addressing climate change. He stated that each day without action adds to the toll in the form of destroyed homes, flooded streets, shuttered businesses, and displaced families.

Hoboken Reveals New City Hall Mural by Jason Sagat

Moses Lookman

August 18, 2025

On August 7, 2025, the City of Hoboken officially presented a new piece of public art titled Layers, created by local artist and photographer Jason Sagat. The ribbon-cutting took place inside the main lobby of Hoboken City Hall at 94 Washington Street, attended by Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla, members of the Hoboken Arts Advisory Committee, and the artist himself.

The mural features a large-scale photographic composition showing an individual standing on the pavers of the waterfront walkway at Pier A, looking out across the Hudson River. Drawing inspiration from Hoboken’s architectural elements and the abstract traditions of modern art, the piece was created using Sagat’s method of blending color, texture, and imagery.

Key Takeaways

Hoboken unveiled Layers, a large-scale mural by local artist Jason Sagat in the main lobby of City Hall at 94 Washington Street.
The mural depicts a layered photographic image of a person on Pier A’s waterfront walkway looking across the Hudson River, combining Hoboken’s architecture with abstract art traditions.
Layers was funded through a 2018 city policy requiring up to 1% of municipal bond ordinance funds to be dedicated to public art installations.

Artistic Style and Influences

Jason Sagat is a longtime resident of Hoboken. He is known locally for creating abstract urban visuals through photography. His work often combines multiple images to create layered, mosaic-like textures that convey movement and memory.

Sagat has cited inspiration from artists Wassily Kandinsky and Gerhard Richter. His approach examines the contrast between simplicity and complexity in daily life. He has described photography as an inherently historical act, in which each image is a moment fixed in time.

In “Layers,” these influences are visible through the overlapping of images and the incorporation of visual textures, resulting in a composition that presents a familiar Hoboken waterfront scene in an abstracted form.

Selection, Display, and Funding

The Hoboken Arts Advisory Committee selected Layers for installation. It is now on permanent display in the historic lobby of City Hall, positioned beside the main staircase.

The mural was funded under a city policy established in 2018 through an executive order by Mayor Bhalla. The order directs that up to one percent of all municipal bond ordinance funds be allocated to public art installations throughout Hoboken.

Paul Goldschmidt Injury Puts Availability for Yankees–Cardinals Series in Doubt

Paulius Kundzelevicius

August 18, 2025

The New York Yankees’ 4-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, was accompanied by concern over first baseman Paul Goldschmidt’s availability. Goldschmidt, 37, was absent from a seventh-inning pinch-hit opportunity, which manager Aaron Boone later explained was due to a low-grade sprain of his right knee.

The injury occurred on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, when Goldschmidt pursued a third-inning foul popup from Byron Buxton near the Yankees’ dugout. “I kind of over-ran it and dove back, and hit my knee on the ground,” Goldschmidt said, adding that it felt sore but he was able to continue playing until grimacing while running out a seventh-inning double, after which he exited the game.

Key Takeaways

Paul Goldschmidt sustained a low-grade right knee sprain while chasing a foul popup against the Twins, leaving his status for upcoming games uncertain and prompting possible roster adjustments.
The Yankees’ lineup is already under strain, with Aaron Judge limited to designated hitter duties, Giancarlo Stanton covering right field, and Jasson Domínguez seeing reduced playing time.
Rookie pitcher Cam Schlittler impressed in the Twins series finale, retiring the first nine batters faced and reaching 99.8 mph on his fastball despite the team’s 4-1 loss.

Evaluation Timeline and Career Achievements

Goldschmidt said, “I felt like I could continue to play, which I did, but I had it checked out today and hopefully we’ll be good to go. There’s a chance, but I don’t think it’s anything long term. It even could be short term as far as a day or two.” Boone stated that the team will evaluate Goldschmidt after Thursday’s off-day and did not rule out a stint on the injured list.

Goldschmidt played for the St. Louis Cardinals from 2019 to 2024, winning the 2022 National League MVP Award, the NL Hank Aaron Award, and earning one of his seven All-Star selections. He has also won five Silver Slugger Awards, the most for any first baseman. In 2025, he is batting .276/.331/.422 with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs in 112 games.

Betting Markets Adjust Ahead of Yankees–Cardinals Series

Following Goldschmidt’s injury news, betting markets for the Yankees–Cardinals series reflected modest changes before first pitch. The consensus moneyline moved from around -122 earlier in the cycle to approximately -134 for the Yankees, with the Cardinals at +113. The total closed between 8.5 and 9 runs, and the run line prices favored the Cardinals at +1.5 with heavier juice.

Pre-game model projections differed slightly. Covers’ predictor projected a Yankees win by an estimated score of 5.53–4.64. Dimers’ simulations indicated roughly a 55% win probability for New York. numberFire’s model gave the Cardinals a slight edge at 50.55% compared to the Yankees at 49.45%.

Player prop availability was also affected prior to the game. Some sportsbooks withheld certain Yankees batting props, while FanDuel listed Aaron Judge at +215 to hit a home run. Futures odds for the Yankees to win the 2025 World Series varied: DraftKings listed them at +1100, BetMGM at +1200, ESPN BET at +1400, and the consensus board on OddsShark at +1300. BetMGM’s +1200 price at that time represented a shift from its +800 opening number.

The scheduled starting pitchers for that matchup were Luis Gil for New York (0–1, 7.27 ERA) and Andre Pallante for St. Louis (6–9, 4.95 ERA).

Yankees Face Limited Options if Goldschmidt Misses Time

If Goldschmidt requires an IL stint, the Yankees have limited in-house replacements. The only other first basemen on the 40-man roster are Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre infielders Jorbit Vivas and Braden Shewmake. Another possibility is moving utility player Ben Rice from catcher to first base and reinstating Austin Wells behind the plate.

The Yankees’ current lineup is already affected by Aaron Judge‘s recovery from a right flexor strain. Judge has been limited to designated hitter duties for the past eight games. Boone reported that Judge has been throwing from distances up to 120 feet, but provided no target date for his return to the outfield. Giancarlo Stanton has started in right field for the fourth time since last playing the position in 2023.

Jasson Domínguez has seen less playing time, entering Wednesday’s game with one hit in his last 19 at-bats since August 2. Boone described the situation as day-to-day and said, “JD is a big part of it… it’s a little snapshot in a long season. So he could be the most central figure in the next game.”

Yankees’ Offensive and Pitching Notes From Twins Series Finale

In Wednesday’s loss to Minnesota, the Yankees recorded four hits and two walks. Cody Bellinger hit a third-inning home run into the second deck in right field, his 22nd of the season, off Twins starter Joe Ryan. Ryan allowed one run over 6 2/3 innings and struck out seven. “It’s such a unique arm. He mixed really well. Ultimately, he did a really good job,” Bellinger said.

The Twins took the lead in the sixth inning on Kody Clemens’ two-run double off Yerry De Los Santos. The game was delayed nearly two hours by rain and ended the Yankees’ nine-game winning streak against Minnesota dating back to early 2022.

Rookie starter Cam Schlittler retired the first nine batters he faced, featuring a fastball averaging 98.3 mph and topping out at 99.8 mph. Boone praised his pitch location and secondary offerings. Schlittler allowed one run in the fourth inning and ended his night after 86 pitches. “I felt good, but I’m a rookie,” Schlittler said. “You’ve got to earn that… I trust the bullpen… As a rookie, you’ve got to earn that to get to 100, 105 pitches like Max [Fried] and Carlos [Rodón].”

Best Sports Betting Sites – Top 5 Online Sportsbooks (2025 Update)

Lucia Schettino

August 18, 2025

Ever since the Supreme Court overturned the law around online sports betting, allowing states to legalize the activity, we’ve seen the emergence of some of the best betting sites in the world.

The fact that players can bet legally in many states now has been a real game changer.

So, what have the last five years of online betting activity looked like for players? We’ve been reviewing the history to bring you a comprehensive guide to the story of online betting in the US.

Are Sports Betting Sites Legal in the US?

Yes, it is currently legal to access sports betting sites across most states in the US. The federal law was overturned in 2018, and this has led to loads of states opening up their doors to sports betting for their residents.

Legal Online Betting Sites in the US: A Brief History

The state of New Jersey became the first in the country to legalize online sports betting for its residents in August 2018. This came after the federal ban on all online sports betting activity was lifted by the Supreme Court.

This came around five months after the Supreme Court finally removed the ban, named PASPA, back in May of that year. The overturning of the ban came as a result of pressure from individual states, sporting bodies and other organizations. It was a long battle, but the country got there in the end!

Next up, states such as Philadelphia and West Virginia took their turn to legalize online sports betting for people living there. Bit by bit, more and more states began to overturn their own rules and now, it’s possible to bet on sports legally in over 30 states.

Sports You Can Bet On at Legal Betting Sites

What sports can’t you bet on at legal betting sites, really? The emergence of legal gambling has allowed for more and more sports to be covered all around the world. Here are some of the most popular sports to bet on in the various states where online sports betting is legal.

Football
Basketball
Soccer
Tennis
Formula 1
Hockey
Baseball
eSports

The Latest Updates for Online Sports Betting Sites

2018 feels like a long time ago now that so many things have changed in the world of online sports betting in the US. It’s legal in a lot more states, and there are a lot more great online sports betting sites as a result of this.

Here are a few of the latest developments in the online sports betting scene, to keep you in the loop.

Missouri set to legalize betting sites: The next state to be added to the list of places to fully legalize online sports betting is Missouri. A bill was passed in late 2024, and the state is currently going through the motions of putting this into action, with the first betting sites set to pop up in 2025.

Exciting new sports betting sites introduced: We’ve recently seen an influx of new sports betting sites across every state where betting sites have been legalized. This means that players are going to get a lot more choice, and can hopefully find something that suits them well.

Upgraded sports betting promos: The bonus offers at sports betting sites seem to be getting bigger and better year in, year out. Nowadays, we’re seeing tons of free bets, deposit matches and more. This is generally as a result of the increased competition between sites.

Better sports betting technology: Betting sites are certainly getting better for their overall user experiences, with better design and mobile compatibility to make things easier for players. We’re also seeing better bet slips, live betting tools and a whole lot more.

Are There Any Downsides to Legal Betting Sites?

Legal sports betting is all well and good for the most part, but there are a couple of potential negatives to the situation. We recommend that you consider the following before you get started with your legal online sports betting journey.

Not all sites are super secure

There are a lot of safe legal betting sites out there, but some of them are not quite so secure. This is why it’s a good idea to look into the encryption, licensing and customer reviews of any bookmaker before you sign up.

Some sites have fewer safe gambling tools

We recommend only signing up for betting sites that have a good range of safe gambling tools to help you to stay in control of your gameplay. Not all sites have these though. They’re worth avoiding.

State licensed sites are fewer in number

There aren’t as many legally licensed state sports betting sites as there are offshore ones. The lack of competitions means that there are fewer markets, smaller odds and less generous bonuses some of the time.

Not so easy to travel between states

It’s important to remember that as soon as you leave your state and go to another, the law could be completely different. It can be awkward, but you’re going to have to do your research if you’re planning on going on a trip across the country.

The Future of Legal Betting Sites

So, what’s next for the world of legal online sports betting?

Well, first and foremost, we’re likely to see a few more states open their stores to legal betting soon. It’s been a slow year or two, but one by one, states seem to be coming around to the idea. There are a lot of movements in this direction.

Perhaps even more exciting is the likelihood of some fantastic new online betting sites. The past few years have seen some fantastic new sportsbooks with better odds, bonuses and markets than ever. It seems clear to us that this trend is going to continue into the future.

We’re in a pretty good place for online sports betting right now. And by the look of the way things are going, it’s only going to get better in time to come. Watch this space!

Nothing ramps up the excitement of watching your favorite team like placing a few bets on the game.

And what do you need for that? The best betting sites, of course!

That’s why we’ve ranked the top 10 sportsbooks according to their betting tools, bonuses, and payout speed. Leading the pack is BetWhale, thanks to its $6,000 welcome bonus, a great range of markets, and overall user experience.

How We Ranked the Best Online Sportsbooks

Sports & Betting Markets

Here’s where we look at the actual betting content of each online betting site. The more markets available, covering the wider range of sports, the better. It’s also important for these markets to come with competitive odds, so that we get more money for our betting wins.

Free Bets and Sportsbook Bonuses

A great way to put more bets down without having to spend as much money is to use free bets and other sportsbook bonuses and offers, such as deposit matches and boosted odds. All of these things can be very helpful to us sports bettors, just as long as the rollovers aren’t too high.

Banking & Payout Speed

Being able to pay at sports betting apps with a wide range of payment methods makes life easier for a wider range of people. Payment limits must also be fair to accommodate high rollers and casual players, and payouts should be processed swiftly and efficiently.

Sportsbook App

A top-tier sportsbook should offer a mobile experience that mirrors, or even goes beyond, the desktop version. The best sports betting apps provide fast load times, smooth navigation, and full access to betting markets, live streams, and account features. Whether you’re using a downloadable app or just betting through your mobile browser, the experience should run smoothly on both Android and iOS.

User Experience

This category covers everything from mobile compatibility to site design to customer support. All of these factors together can really make or break the sports betting experience at a site.

Customer Support

Ideally, you’ll never need to contact customer support — everything will just work perfectly. But it is still important to know that there is help if you ever need it.

Sports Betting Apps VS. Mobile Betting

The rise of smartphones has revolutionized the sports betting industry, enabling bettors to engage with their favorite sports through sophisticated apps and browser-based betting sites.

These platforms ensure that users have access to a full range of betting options, secure account management, and reliable payment methods. Designed to work flawlessly on both Android and iOS devices, they replicate the desktop betting experience but with the added convenience of mobility.

Depending on the sportsbook you join, you may have access to a downloadable app or have to place bets through the default browser-based mobile site. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between the two:

Mobile Sports Betting

Even if a sportsbook lacks an app, you can still place bets on your mobile device by accessing the site through your browser. In most cases, the mobile site is optimized for smaller screens and offers most of the features found on the desktop version.

While mobile betting sites may not offer the same smooth experience as a dedicated app, they still provide plenty of advantages. You don’t need to download any additional software, and if you’re using fast internet and a reliable browser, loading speeds and lag shouldn’t be an issue.

Sports Betting Apps

With the expansion of legalized sports betting, downloadable mobile apps have become a crucial part of the sports betting landscape. They not only allow bettors to place wagers from anywhere but also provide features like live streaming and real-time sports updates.

The best betting apps also come with other key benefits, like rapid load times and quick login, which help ensure you’re always in the action without missing a beat.

This level of accessibility and integration makes mobile betting a go-to choice for sports fans looking to capitalize on live events as they happen. Most mobile sportsbook apps offer these capabilities, enhancing the overall user experience and keeping bettors connected with every play.

Tips, Tricks, and Strategies for Online Sports Bettors

Look for the Best Quality Odds

The best sports betting sites are all going to have good odds in general, but some are likely to bet better than others when it comes to certain sports. If you have a particular sport that you like to bet on more than others, then be sure to do some research to find out which site is best for it.

Don’t Cash Out Too Easily

It can be tempting to cash out when the pressure of live betting gets intense. But a lot of the time, it’s best to try and hold your nerve. Don’t be too trigger-happy with cash outs, as you might lose out on some cash.

Grab a Few Welcome Offers

Welcome bonuses are typically the biggest sports betting bonuses, as they are offered by sportsbooks to attract new players. The best part? You can use them to get free bets and bonus credits for your sports wagers. Be sure to take full advantage!

Don’t Miss Out on Boosted Odds and Bonus Bets

A lot of online sports betting sites will give players the chance to boost their odds or get occasional free bets. Keep an eye on the promotions page of any sportsbook you sign up for to see what’s available. These are pretty common deals!

Bet On the Sports You Know Best

Don’t waste money betting on sports you don’t know much about. You’re going to have a much better chance of winning if you focus on the sports you know most about. The more you keep up to date with a sport, the better position you’ll be in to predict the eventualities of each game.

Practice Responsible Gambling at All Times

Online gambling is meant to be about having fun, not chasing your losses. To help yourself stop this from happening, it’s a good idea to use safe gambling tools. Deposit limits can help you stay in control of your spending, and time checks can prevent you from wasting the clock away.

Sports to Bet on at the Best Betting Websites

When it comes to online sports betting, the variety of sports you can bet on plays a crucial role in the experience.

The best betting websites offer a wide range of sports, catering to fans of mainstream competitions as well as niche sports fans. Here are the most popular sports to place bets on:

Soccer

Soccer reigns as the king of sports betting worldwide. The best sites provide extensive coverage of football events, from the prestigious FIFA World Cup and UEFA Champions League to regional leagues like the EPL and La Liga. Betting options are vast, including everything from match results and player performance to intricate in-game occurrences like corners and cards.

Football

Football offers great action and is a staple at new sports betting sites. The NFL, with its Super Bowl online betting experience, dominates the market, but college football is also incredibly popular. Bettors enjoy a wide range of betting options, including point spreads, money lines, totals, and props like touchdowns scored and yards gained.

Basketball

With its fast-paced action and frequent scoring, basketball is a favorite among bettors. The best online betting sites offer comprehensive coverage of NBA seasons, the EuroLeague, and other international championships.

Markets often include point spreads, over/under scores, and player props, such as points scored, rebounds, and assists, making every game an exciting betting opportunity.

Tennis

Tennis betting is unique due to its year-round tournament schedule and head-to-head nature. The top sports betting sites that excel in tennis betting provide extensive market selections for Grand Slams, ATP, WTA, and even Challenger events.

Esports

The rising star of the sports betting world, esports, attracts a younger demographic with games like League of Legends, CS2, and Dota 2. The best sites offer not just traditional win/loss bets but also detailed propositions such as first blood, map winners, and total kills.

Top Bonus Offers at Online Sportsbooks

Online sportsbooks love rewarding both new and loyal players with a variety of bonuses. Here’s a look at the most popular types you’ll come across.

No Deposit Bonus

No-deposit bonuses are popular but not very common, and they often come with strict conditions. These offers give you a small amount of free credit, like a $10 bet, just for creating an account, without needing to deposit anything. However, they usually have higher rollover requirements or tighter restrictions than other types of bonuses. You’ll also see them more frequently in online casinos, where they often take the form of free spins.

Welcome Bonus

A welcome bonus is the biggest incentive you’ll see when joining new online bookmakers. Typically, it comes as a deposit match, meaning the site will match a percentage of your first deposit with bonus funds you can bet with. For example, you might see a 200% match up to $6,000 at top sites like BetWhale. These bonuses are an easy way to boost your bankroll right out of the gate, and they often have much friendlier rollover requirements than no-deposit offers.

Cashback Bonuses

Cashback bonuses are designed to soften the blow when your bets don’t go your way. With this promo, a sportsbook will refund a percentage of your net losses over a set period, usually a week or a month. For example, you might get 10% back on losses up to $500. The refunded amount often comes as site credit or free bets, giving you another shot to turn things around without making a fresh deposit.

Reload Bonus

Reload bonuses work a lot like welcome bonuses, but they’re available to existing users at the best online betting apps when you top up your account. The best sportsbook promos can range from a 25% to 75% match on your deposit and are often tied to specific days of the week or special events. They’re a great incentive to keep betting regularly, and many sportsbooks run reload offers alongside contests and leaderboard promotions.

Odds Boosts

Odds boosts are one of the simplest and most popular promos you’ll find. With an odds boost, the sportsbook increases the payout potential on selected bets, meaning you can score bigger winnings without risking more money. These offers typically apply to high-profile games or parlays, and they’re updated daily. Keep an eye on the sports betting promotions page so you don’t miss out on extra value for your picks.

Pros and Cons of Sports Betting Online

The best sports betting apps online come with plenty of advantages compared to betting in person, but they aren’t without a few downsides. Here’s a quick look at the pros and cons to help you decide if they’re the right fit for your betting habits.

Top Benefits of Betting Sites

Better Odds and Higher Payouts: Since online sportsbooks don’t have the same overhead costs as physical bookmakers, they can usually offer the best sports betting odds. For example, you might see +120 online compared to +110 at a retail sportsbook—a difference that really adds up over time.

More Generous Bonuses: Online platforms consistently outshine brick-and-mortar sportsbooks when it comes to promotions. From big welcome offers to regular reload bonuses, the range of incentives is simply broader online.

Cryptocurrency Options: The best sports betting apps accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, giving you access to faster withdrawals, minimal fees, and often larger bonus offers.

Convenience: Perhaps the biggest perk, online betting sites are open around the clock. You can place wagers anytime, anywhere, without the hassle of traveling to a retail location.

Potential Drawbacks

Slower Withdrawals: Unlike retail sportsbooks where you get paid on the spot, online withdrawals, especially by bank transfer, can take days or even weeks. If you prefer faster cashouts, using crypto is usually the quickest option.

Less Social Interaction: Some sports bettors enjoy the atmosphere and camaraderie of in-person wagering. While many betting sites have community features and chat options, it’s not quite the same as sharing the experience face to face.

Popular Bet Types at Top Sports Betting Sites

If you’re new to online sports betting, knowing the main wager types can make all the difference. Below is a fresh look at some of the most common bets you’ll encounter at licensed sportsbooks.

Moneyline

A moneyline bet is as straightforward as it gets; you’re picking which team or player will win. Odds come with a plus or minus sign, showing whether a side is favored or considered the underdog.

For example, odds of -140 on Team A mean you’d need to stake $140 to win $100. On the other hand, +120 on Team B means a $100 bet would return $120 if they pull off the win.

Point Spread

Also called spread betting, this option is designed to even out the perceived gap between two teams. The favorite “gives” points, while the underdog “gets” them. Say the Warriors are listed at -6.5 against the Knicks.

They need to win by 7 or more points for your bet to cash. If you back the Knicks at +6.5, they can win outright or lose by fewer than 7 points for you to win.

Totals (Over/Under)

Here, you’re betting on the combined score of both sides, not who wins. Sportsbooks set a predicted number, and you choose whether the actual total will go over or under that figure. If a football game’s total is 45.5, an “Over” bet wins if 46 or more points are scored, while an “Under” bet wins with 45 or fewer points.

Parlays

Parlays link multiple picks into a single wager, multiplying both the potential payout and the risk. Every selection, or “leg”, in the parlay must be correct for you to win.

For instance, you might combine: the Celtics to win, the Dodgers to hit the over, and the Chiefs to cover the spread. One miss, and the whole ticket loses, but hit all three, and the payout is far bigger than placing each bet on its own.

Prop Bets

Proposition bets focus on specific game events rather than the overall score. These can be tied to player performance (like how many goals a striker scores) or in-game moments (such as the first team to call a timeout).

Big events like the Super Bowl are famous for creative prop markets, from guessing the first touchdown scorer to predicting the color of the Gatorade poured on the winning coach.

Understanding How Betting Odds Function

Betting odds show both how likely an outcome is and how much you can win if your bet is successful. There are three main ways odds are displayed: American (moneyline), decimal, and fractional formats.

American odds use positive and negative numbers. A negative figure, like -150, means that’s the amount you’d need to bet to win $100. A positive number, such as +130, shows how much profit you’d make on a $100 bet.

Decimal odds are widely used in Europe and Australia. They represent the total payout, including your original stake. For example, odds of 2.50 mean a $100 wager would pay out $250 in total.

Fractional odds are most common in the UK. These show your profit compared to your stake. For instance, 5/1 odds mean you’ll earn $5 for every $1 you bet.

Secure Payment Methods at the Best Online Betting Sites

With the growth of legalized online sports betting, ensuring secure payment methods has become a critical concern for both bettors and betting platforms. Bettors want assurance that their financial transactions are safe and confidential.

Here’s a closer look at some of the most trusted payment methods offered by numerous betting sites to guarantee both security and convenience.

Credit and Debit Cards

Credit and debit cards remain the most common form of payment at the best betting apps. They offer a straightforward way to deposit and withdraw funds, and they have built-in security features like fraud protection and encryption.

Major brands like Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are widely accepted, making them a reliable choice for bettors around the world.

E-Wallets

E-wallets provide a secure and fast way to manage sports betting funds without directly using your bank account. Services like PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller allow users to deposit money into their betting accounts instantly.

These platforms also add an extra layer of security, as they do not require sharing personal banking details with the betting sites.

Cryptocurrencies

As online wagering continues to evolve, cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly popular for their privacy and anonymity. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, among others, offer decentralized transactions that are both secure and fast.

The best online betting apps that accept cryptocurrencies often promote reduced transaction fees and quicker withdrawal times, appealing to tech-savvy bettors.

Bank Transfers

Bank transfers are a reliable method for those who prefer a more traditional approach when using the best sports gambling apps. Although slower than other options, bank transfers provide a high level of security and are supported by rigorous banking regulations.

State Guide to Legal Online Sports Betting

Online sports betting laws in the U.S. vary widely from state to state, so knowing the local rules is essential before placing a wager. Some states have fully legalized online betting, others only allow in-person wagers at licensed sportsbooks, and a few still prohibit it altogether.

Understanding the landscape helps you choose the right platform and ensures you’re betting legally and responsibly.

Florida: Florida’s sports betting market has been through several legal challenges, but it’s now possible to wager online through select, state-approved platforms. The available Florida betting sites are limited, but they offer competitive odds, mobile apps, and coverage of popular sports like the NFL, NBA, and college football. Because the market is still developing, options may expand in the coming years.

Texas: Texas does not currently allow online sports betting, though the topic remains under discussion among lawmakers. Residents looking to bet legally must travel to neighboring states where sports betting is permitted or use in-person horse racing and fantasy sports options within Texas.

Minnesota: Minnesota has yet to fully legalize online sports betting, though tribal and legislative negotiations are ongoing. For now, sports betting in Minnesota is limited to in-person wagering at tribal casinos and betting on horse races – plus, there are various offshore sites that accept local bettors.

Georgia: Georgia does not currently have legal sports betting. Previous legislative attempts have stalled, though proposals continue to resurface. Until changes are made, residents interested in wagering must travel to nearby states where online and retail sportsbooks are available, or go with offshore bookies.

11 Most Extreme and Dangerous Sports Played Worldwide

Paulius Kundzelevicius

August 18, 2025

The debate over the world’s toughest sport has raged for decades, igniting arguments among fans and athletes across the globe.

Advocates of football, rugby, and boxing fiercely insist their game tops the charts for physical demands.

Yet true toughness isn’t defined by brute force or punishing collisions alone.

Some sports test the extremes of endurance, others require lightning reflexes and agility, while a few demand an unforgiving mix of all three. In this report, we spotlight the most relentless, physically punishing, and mentally exhausting sports ever played.

Our rankings break down each sport by speed, stamina, strength, skill, and intensity—revealing what it truly takes to conquer the world’s most demanding arenas of competition.

Key Takeaways

Sports like boxing and MMA show that athletes need strong bodies and clear minds to survive tough rounds and stay one step ahead of their opponents.
In races like the Ironman Triathlon, athletes need serious stamina to endure long swims, bike rides, and marathon runs without giving up.
Gymnastics and ice hockey require insane levels of coordination, speed, and precision, proving that it’s not just about brute force but mastering complex movements under pressure.

1. Boxing

When we talk about truly tough sports, boxing always comes up as one of the hardest.

It’s not just about being strong but also about having the physical and mental toughness to handle the intense demands.

As you probably already know, boxers need to have a lot of endurance, be strong, fast, and agile, and they also have to be smart about how they fight.

Before they even step into the ring, they undergo intense training to make sure their bodies are ready for the hits they will take.

The process involves a ton of cardio, strength work, and drills to get their techniques right.

Then, when it’s time to fight, they have to push themselves hard for several rounds, each lasting three minutes, all while keeping up that high level of effort.

But it’s not just about being physically ready; boxers must also be mentally strong.

They must stay focused, predict their opponent’s next move, and think about how to attack while keeping themselves safe.

So, mental toughness helps them keep going, even when they’re tired or in pain.

Boxing is risky, too, mainly because of the real danger of head injuries and long-term brain damage. Due to this, it’s at the top of our list of the most dangerous sports.

Famous boxers like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and Manny Pacquiao have shown just how much physical and mental strength is needed to succeed in this sport, making it clear why boxing is such a tough and respected sport.

2. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) often comes to mind when people ask what’s the most dangerous sport.

What makes it so challenging is that fighters don’t just focus on one thing—they must be good at many different types of fighting, such as boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and more.

So, it’s not only about being strong or fast but mastering various techniques.

And because the fight can go from standing up to being on the ground in a split second, fighters must always be ready to switch things up, which keeps them on their toes.

Undeniably, fighters must be in amazing shape and undergo tough training to succeed in MMA.

They work on building endurance, strength, and flexibility so they can handle the demands of a fight.

In a typical MMA fight, there are three to five rounds, each lasting five minutes, and they don’t get much time to rest in between.

The pace is intense, and fighters must protect themselves from attacks while figuring out how to outsmart their opponents.

It’s like a fast-moving chess game, which makes MMA just as much about thinking as physical fighting.

Fighters like Conor McGregor and Anderson Silva have shown how much strategy, skill, and athleticism it takes to succeed in MMA, proving that it’s one of the most demanding sports out there.

3. Ironman Triathlon

Now, if we’re talking about events that really push people to their absolute limits, the Ironman Triathlon is probably at the top of the list.

This race combines three tough activities: swimming, biking, and running, and athletes have to do them all back-to-back without any breaks.

It starts with a 2.4-mile swim, then turns into a 112-mile bike ride, and finishes with a 26.2-mile full marathon.

Just hearing that is enough to know how incredibly hard it is.

And each part of the race needs different kinds of preparation.

Swimming takes a lot of skill and upper-body strength. Cycling is all about having strong legs that can keep going for hours, and running the marathon requires physical stamina and mental strength to keep going when you’re exhausted.

Doing an Ironman is about being in good shape as much as being mentally tough.

Athletes have to manage their energy, stay focused for hours, and fight until their bodies feel like they can’t go on anymore, which many call “hitting the wall.”

Only the fittest athletes can finish an Ironman, and those who do put in months, sometimes even years, of training to prepare their bodies and minds.

That’s exactly why completing an Ironman is considered the ultimate test of endurance.

4. Gymnastics

For example, male gymnasts typically compete in apparatus like the pommel horse and still rings, which demand extraordinary upper body power and control. In contrast, women’s events such as the floor exercise and balance beam combine strength with elegance, precision, and rhythm.

But gymnastics isn’t just physically grueling—it’s a mental battle, too.

Athletes must stay mentally sharp to overcome the fear of falls, potential injuries, and the constant pressure to deliver flawless performances.

One small mistake during a complex routine can lead to serious consequences, making focus and mental resilience essential. Despite the risks, gymnastics continues to be celebrated for its stunning mix of athleticism, technical mastery, and artistic expression.

5. Ice Hockey

Ice hockey is a sport that stands out for being one of the hardest due to its fast pace, physical nature, and need for high-level skills.

As a result, players must be great at skating while controlling the puck, all while moving at high speeds.

Furthermore, ice hockey is also very physical, with body-checking being a big part of the game.

This leads to many hard hits and collisions, making injuries pretty common, even though players wear protective gear.

Needless to say, endurance is another big factor in ice hockey.

The game has three 20-minute periods, and players constantly sprint on the ice, pass, and shoot.

With all this activity, the shifts are short but intense, testing their fitness and strength.

On top of all this, players need to be sharp mentally, as they have to make quick decisions about where to go, how to control the puck, and how to work with teammates in high-pressure situations.

Despite its physical nature, hockey is also a game of strategy.

Teams need to work together to outsmart their opponents, and individual players have to balance aggressiveness with smart plays to avoid penalties.

Speed, skill, physical contact, and strategy are what make ice hockey such a tough and demanding sport.

6. Water Polo

Water polo is one of those sports where, just by watching, you can tell how physically draining it must be.

At its core, the sport combines swimming, treading water, and physical contact in a fast-paced game played in a deep pool.

Throughout the game, players are always either swimming or treading water, usually using a special kick called the eggbeater to stay above the water while trying to pass or shoot the ball.

The endurance needed is incredible because there is no resting on the pool floor, and players must keep moving for the entire game, which typically lasts four quarters of 7 minutes each.

Along with endurance, water polo players need to be strong and agile.

This means that players need the power to swim quickly, shoot the ball forcefully, and wrestle for position against their opponents.

While it may look graceful, the sport is highly physical. Players often engage in underwater grappling, which goes unnoticed by referees.

This makes the game even more challenging since players must keep their energy up while handling these hidden struggles with their opponents.

Like many other team sports, water polo requires a lot of tactical thinking.

Teams need to devise strategies to outplay their opponents, like soccer or basketball, but with the extra challenge of water slowing them down.

The combination of swimming, physical contact, and quick decision-making makes water polo one of the hardest and most unique sports there is.

7. Rugby

Rugby is one of the toughest sports because it pushes the body and mind to the limit.

Consequently, players must be strong, have a lot of stamina, and be quick on their feet.

Since they wear very little protective gear, they rely heavily on their strength and ability to handle the constant tackles and physical collisions that are part of the game.

They spend 80 minutes running, sprinting, and enduring hits without real breaks.

Given the relentless pace, rugby tests players’ endurance because they are always moving across the field.

Specifically, this requires strong cardiovascular fitness to handle running long distances and high-intensity efforts like scrums and tackles.

As such, the game demands a balance of aerobic and anaerobic energy, pushing stamina to its limit.

Players must also be powerful, particularly in the legs and upper body, to succeed in tackles and scrums. And the sport calls for explosive power, strength, and conditioning.

However, agility is just as important because players must move around the field quickly, avoid being tackled, and be in the right spot during the fast-moving game.

In addition, they need to be mentally sharp, making quick decisions while staying focused despite all the chaos around them.

8. Bull Riding

Bull riding is often dubbed the “most dangerous eight seconds in sports,” and the title is well earned. Those few seconds feel endless when a rider is atop a 2,000-pound bull determined to throw them off.

Surviving the ride demands extraordinary balance, core strength, and an iron grip.

But physical power alone isn’t enough—bull riding is just as much a mental battle. Athletes must confront fear directly, knowing injuries are frequent and severe accidents are a constant threat.

Staying composed while anticipating the bull’s violent, unpredictable movements is crucial. Mastery takes years of relentless practice, as riders learn to control body position, remain centered, and endure immense physical and psychological pressure.

9. Motocross

Motocross is another sport that demands both physical and mental endurance.

Riders navigate off-road tracks filled with obstacles like mud, sand, and steep jumps while riding at high speeds.

Therefore, the sport requires riders to be in top physical shape, have quick reflexes, and have sharp focus.

Riders must constantly adapt to the changing track conditions while keeping control of their bikes.

As you can imagine, the physical strain is intense, as their heart rates often exceed 165 beats per minute for long periods.

Additionally, there are no breaks, and they have to stay focused, quickly reacting to obstacles and making instant decisions to avoid crashing.

Motocross pushes both mental resilience and physical endurance, with riders training for years to master these skills.

10. Hurling

Hurling is one of Ireland’s oldest sports and is often called the fastest field game in the world.

It’s a mix of lacrosse, field hockey, and baseball, but it requires high speed, strength, and skill to play.

You’ve got two teams of 15 players each, competing on a big grassy field, and their goal is to score by hitting a small ball called a “sliotar” with a wooden stick called a “hurley.”

You get one point for getting the sliotar over the crossbar and three points for putting it into a net.

Although, what really makes hurling stand out is its speed.

The sliotar can reach speeds of up to 112 mph, meaning players must be incredibly quick and precise.

Along with speed, it also takes a lot of hand-eye coordination and stamina.

Players have to be skilled at several skills, like soloing (balancing the sliotar on the hurley while running), hitting the ball mid-air or off the ground, and catching it.

There’s also a lot of physical contact—shoulder-to-shoulder clashes are part of the game, so it’s really intense.

Hurling is just as much about teamwork and strategy, though.

It’s not just about being good on your own; it’s also about being able to work with your teammates to get the sliotar down the field and set up chances to score.

Plus, it’s got a deep cultural significance in Ireland.

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is one of the biggest events in the country.

Between the game’s fast pace and the fans’ energy, hurling is one of the most exciting and challenging sports out there.

11. Decathlon

The decathlon is all about testing your ability at different athletic events, as it combines ten track and field events over two days.

Those events are 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m, 110m hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500m run.

To do well, athletes need explosive power for events like the 100m and high jump, along with endurance for the 400m and 1500m, making it one of the toughest competitions in sports.

Each event has its challenges and testing skills like speed, strength, flexibility, and technique.

And decathletes have to train a lot to develop a balanced skill set that lets them compete across all these events.

The scoring system rewards consistency, so athletes rack up points based on how well they do in each event, and whoever has the most points at the end wins.

One of the hardest parts about the decathlon is managing your energy and recovering over the two days.

Athletes must pace themselves to have enough left for the most tiring event, the 1500m run, which comes at the very end.

Being mentally tough is just as important since they have to quickly switch between events that require different skills, like going from sprinting to throwing.

Because it requires mastering so many different skills, success in the decathlon is seen as the peak of athletic achievement.

Decathletes are often considered the most well-rounded athletes because they can handle such a broad range of events, showing physical ability, mental strength, and smart preparation.

No Single Sport Holds the Crown—Each Tests Human Limits Differently

In the end, there’s no absolute champion for the title of world’s toughest sport. Every discipline delivers punishing demands—rugby with its bone-crunching collisions, boxing with its relentless mental toughness, or the sheer endurance needed to conquer an Ironman.

Some sports reward brute power, others depend on lightning speed, agility, or the ability to stay focused under crushing pressure.

What truly defines “the hardest sport” depends on which physical and mental traits are stretched to their limits. And while loyal fans will always argue for their favorite, the truth is undeniable: each of these sports is unforgiving and brutal in its own right.

Recount Confirms Democratic Primary Results in New Jersey’s 39th District

Moses Lookman

August 15, 2025

A recount of the June Democratic primary results for the New Jersey General Assembly in the 39th Legislative District confirmed that Andrew LaBruno and Donna Abene will remain the Democratic nominees for the November 4 general election. The recount began on August 4 at the request of David Jiang, who had finished third in the initial count with 8,317 votes, trailing Abene by 137 votes.

Following the recount, which involved hand-counting ballots, Jiang gained 12 votes for a total of 8,329, while Abene gained six votes, bringing her total to 8,460 and leaving her ahead by 131 votes. LaBruno, the top vote-getter, increased his total from 9,137 to 9,143, and Damon Englese, who finished fourth, saw his total rise from 6,137 to 6,149. Only the first- and second-place finishers will appear on the November ballot, where they will face Republican incumbents Robert Auth and John Azzariti Jr.

Key Takeaways

David Jiang gained 12 votes but stayed 131 votes behind Donna Abene after the recount.
The recount cost about $20,000, with Jiang paying roughly $2,500.
This was the first district-wide recount in the 39th District in at least 14 years.

Recount Process and Results

Bergen County Board of Elections Chairman Richard Miller stated that the changes in vote totals came from vote-by-mail ballots, which are scanned by machines. Ballots that were not filled in firmly enough might not have been detected by scanners, but hand-counting during the recount allowed election workers to determine voter intent.

The recount took place over three days and included more than 8,000 vote-by-mail ballots and provisional ballots from all 28 towns in the district. Two teams of election workers performed the count, and a designated commissioner cross-checked the names and ballots. Vote tallies changed by at least one vote in 13 municipalities, while 16 municipalities saw no change. According to Miller, this was the first district-wide recount in at least 14 years. The new totals were scheduled to be certified on August 7.

Legal Proceedings and Costs

Superior Court Judge Kelly Conlon initially denied a full recount during a court hearing but later signed an order for all votes to be recounted. After a partial recount on Tuesday, Jiang had picked up 14 votes; the final count after the complete recount reflected a gain of 12.

The Board of Elections covered about $20,000 of the recount cost. A candidate who requests a recount must pay a percentage of the total, and Jiang’s share was approximately $2,500. Miller said the raw vote gap was large, but the margin represented only 0.43% of the total vote.

Candidate Affiliations and District Background

LaBruno and Jiang ran on a slate with Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop during his campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor, while Abene and Englese ran with the endorsement of the Bergen County Democratic organization. In the June primary, Mikie Sherrill won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, and Jack Ciattarelli won the Republican nomination.

The 39th Legislative District is composed of the Bergen County municipalities of Allendale, Alpine, Closter, Cresskill, Demarest, Dumont, Emerson, Harrington Park, Haworth, Hillsdale, Ho-Ho-Kus, Mahwah, Midland Park, Montvale, Northvale, Norwood, Oakland, Old Tappan, Park Ridge, Ramsey, River Vale, Rockleigh, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Waldwick, Washington Township, Westwood, and Woodcliff Lake. Democrats have not won the district since 1977.

The AP Scholar designations are awarded by the College Board to students who have demonstrated college-level achievement through AP courses and exams. These awards are recognized internationally and can lead to college credit, advanced placement, or both.

Key Takeaways

Hoboken High School recognized 105 AP Scholars in 2024–2025, the highest in its history.

District Growth and Program Expansion

According to district records, the increase from seven AP Scholars in 2019 to 105 in 2025 is connected to targeted investments in curriculum expansion, teacher training, scheduling flexibility, and academic counseling.

The AP Capstone program, offered by the College Board, focuses on skills such as research, analysis, evidence-based argument, collaboration, writing, and presenting.

Top Bitcoin Casinos – Our Ranking Criteria

Licensing

One of the most important things we look for in a Bitcoin casino is a license to ensure safety. A regulation board requires a company to follow strict rules to allow players to have the best online casino experience possible.

Game Variety

Another thing we look at with crypto casinos is the gaming options. Again, we want to see if there are choices that a wide variety of people will enjoy.

This includes additional betting sectors like poker, sports betting, or crypto eSports wagering.

Crypto Casino Bonus Offers & Promotions

Promotional offers are a way for the top Bitcoin casinos to provide players with value. So, we look at the frequency of bonuses and promotions, the number of free spins, etc.

Additionally, we want to make sure that both new and existing players have the chance to claim these offers with fair wagering requirements.

Crypto Deposits & Withdrawals

All the crypto casinos on this list must accept Bitcoin – but that wasn’t our sole criterion when ranking these Bitcoin gambling sites. We also looked for online casinos that accept Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and other less-known digital currencies like Shiba Inu.

Another factor we took into consideration was the payout speed, aiming for the fastest transaction times around. In most cases, a Bitcoin casino that accepts Bitcoin won’t charge any transaction fees, and we made sure that’s the case for every BTC casino site on this list.

User Experience

Lastly, any Bitcoin casino must be easy to use and navigate; finding the online gambling activity you want should be easy and fast.

In addition, users should not only be able to fund their Bitcoin gambling using BTC or other cryptos but get the money off the site with faster-than-average payouts.

We used similar criteria to rank the best online betting sites.

Crypto Casinos VS. Fiat Casinos

So, how do the best Bitcoin casinos compare when put side by side with traditional online casinos? Let’s take a closer look at some key features for a detailed comparison.

Feature	Best Crypto Casinos	Best Fiat Casinos
Payment Speed	Instant deposit & fast withdrawals for Bitcoin transactions	Instant deposits but standard processing times for withdrawals (1–5 business days)
Privacy	Highly anonymous, especially with coins like Monero	Requires personal and banking info
Bonuses	Often larger crypto-exclusive bonuses & promos	Smaller welcome offers & standard reload bonuses
Accessibility	Basic crypto knowledge needed to get started	Easy for beginners with traditional payment options

Why Is Highroller Casino the Best Bitcoin Casino?

Highroller Casino has consistently proven to be a top choice for cryptocurrency enthusiasts looking for an exceptional online gambling experience. Here are four reasons why Highroller Casino stands out as the best Bitcoin casino:

$8000 Welcome Bonus: There’s an enormous crypto welcome bonus package worth up to $8000 waiting for all new players who sign up at Highroller Casino. It’s one of the most generous bonuses we’ve ever seen in the crypto casino industry, and that’s really saying something. Plus, you’ll get 300 free spins.
Top Reputation: With over seven years of operation under its belt, Highroller Casino has established itself as a favorite amongst players with full licensing and encryption. It hosts industry-leading software providers and offers a great gaming experience, ensuring that players enjoy a secure and trustworthy environment.
Provably Fair Games: The leading crypto casino is committed to offering provably fair games, allowing players to verify the fairness of each game’s outcome. This transparency ensures that the casino operates honestly while building trust.
Wide Range of Cryptocurrencies: There are nine crypto banking options to play with at Highroller Casino. It’s great to see such a wide range of payment methods, spanning the major players as well as a handful of altcoins.

Best BTC Casino Bonuses You Can Claim Now

Crypto and Bitcoin casinos are known for their bumper welcome bonuses that get you started with a fistful of bonus funds. Below are some of the best crypto casino bonuses available right now:

$8,000 Sign-up Bonus + 300 FS	Highroller Casino
300 Free Spins Welcome Offer	Super Slots
5 BTC + 180 Free Spins Welcome Bonus	BitStarz
Up to 2 BTC + 300 FS Welcome Bonus	mBit Casino
300% Bonus Up to $3,000	Ignition

Now, let’s take a look at the most popular types of the best Bitcoin casino bonuses available at crypto casinos.

Welcome Bonuses

Each and every Bitcoin casino offers a welcome bonus that you can claim, and it’s usually a match on your initial deposit, along with free spins (if the casino is feeling extra generous).

To claim it, you will usually need to opt in for the bonus and make a minimum qualifying deposit. Sometimes, you will need to use a bonus code that will be clearly outlined in the bonus terms and conditions.

Reload Bonuses

Reload bonuses are all promotions that come after the welcome bonus, aimed at loyal customers at the best crypto gambling sites. The way these promotions work is by matching a percentage of any subsequent deposit that you make at the online casino or crediting your account with free spins.

No Deposit Offers

Very sparse across the industry – but no deposit bonuses are still available at some cryptocurrency casinos occasionally. These offers allow you to test an online crypto casino without requiring you to deposit.

Because you get these bonuses entirely for free – the wagering requirements are usually much higher, and cashing out the bonus is tough.

Cashback

Nearly all Bitcoin casinos nowadays offer cashback. After all, it’s one of the best bonuses you can get after a string of bad luck. The cashback percentage typically ranges between 10% and 20%, and it’s either available to claim weekly or monthly.

Loyalty Programs

VIP programs are a must. It’s simply not worth depositing over and over again at an online Bitcoin casino if it doesn’t offer a truly great VIP program (unless there are generous reload bonuses to make up for the lack of it).

Most loyalty programs at the best crypto casinos are gamified with levels and challenges. As you play crypto games, you will rise through the ranks and unlock bigger and better rewards.

Which Cryptocurrencies Can You Use at Top Bitcoin Casinos?

While the name “Bitcoin casino” might suggest that only Bitcoin is accepted, many of these online crypto gambling sites support multiple cryptocurrencies. Here are some of the most common ones you can use for wagering at Bitcoin online gambling sites:

Bitcoin (BTC): As the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is widely accepted at online crypto casinos. It offers fast transactions, low fees, and a high level of security.
Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum is another popular choice for wagering at Bitcoin casinos. Its smart contract capabilities and faster transaction speeds make it an attractive option for online gambling and even sports betting!
Litecoin (LTC): Known for its faster transaction times compared to Bitcoin – you can now use Litecoin at various online casinos, offering players a quick and efficient way to deposit and withdraw funds.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH): A hard fork of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash was created to address scalability issues and provide faster transaction speeds.
Dogecoin (DOGE): Initially started as a joke, Dogecoin has gained a loyal following and is now accepted at various BTC casinos. Its low transaction fees and fast processing times make it a convenient option for online gambling.
Ripple (XRP): Ripple is a cryptocurrency designed for international money transfers and is sometimes used for wagering at BTC casino sites. It’s fast and has low transaction fees.
Monero (XMR): Monero focuses on privacy and security, making it a popular choice for those who value anonymity while gambling online.
Solana (SOL): Known for its high-speed blockchain and low transaction fees, Solana is an emerging cryptocurrency that’s starting to gain traction among the best crypto casinos, and there are already many Solana online casinos out there.
Shiba Inu (SHIB): Initially created as a fun alternative to Dogecoin, Shiba Inu has gained significant popularity and a dedicated community. As a result, some cryptocurrency casinos have begun to accept SHIB for wagering, allowing crypto casino players to participate in online gambling using this meme-based cryptocurrency.
Tether (USDT): Tether is a stablecoin pegged to USD, which means its value remains relatively stable compared to other cryptocurrencies. Most Bitcoin gambling sites accept Tether, providing players with a more stable gambling experience not influenced by the usual volatility of crypto.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Top Bitcoin Casino

When searching for the best Bitcoin casino sites, consider security and licensing first. Ensure the casino is licensed by reputable authorities and uses encryption to protect your data and funds.

Also, check for transaction fees and fast payouts. Withdrawal times can vary from minutes to days. Look for those that support multiple cryptocurrencies for added flexibility.

Benefits of Using Crypto for Deposits and Withdrawals at Casinos

There are various benefits of using cryptocurrencies to gamble – and these benefits are the main reason why so many players are making the switch to Bitcoin casino sites. Check them out below.

No Fees: The best Bitcoin casinos do not charge fees on any crypto transaction – unlike credit card transactions or e-wallets that always come with fees. The only fee you’ll need to pay when gambling with crypto is the one for the miners to process your transaction.
Faster Payouts: Crypto transactions are very fast and always available – regardless of the day or time. Therefore, you can expect to see your casino winnings delivered to your crypto wallet within 12-24 hours, which is something you can’t get at traditional casinos.
Anonymity: Finally, Bitcoin casinos allow you to remain anonymous. You will never have to provide your credit card number or other banking details, and most of the time, all you need is an email address to get started. That said, keep in mind that some BTC casinos might need to verify your account via ID if you request a big withdrawal.

The one notable downside of using cryptocurrencies to gamble is that they are volatile. However, you can get around this by playing at online casinos that accept USDT – which is tied to the US dollar in value.

Best Bitcoin Casinos – FAQ

What Are Bitcoin Casino Games?

Much like traditional casino games can be played for a variety of fiat currencies, Bitcoin games are simply crypto casino titles that can be played wagering in Bitcoin. You can typically select between displaying your balance in either fiat or Bitcoin through, to avoid confusion.

What’s the Difference Between Crypto and Traditional Online Casinos?

A crypto casino site is a platform that accepts cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others.

Mets’ Skid Grows to Seven as Carlos Mendoza Sees Montas Pulled Early in Milwaukee

Paulius Kundzelevicius

August 14, 2025

On Saturday, August 9, 2025, at American Family Field in Milwaukee, the New York Mets used Reed Garrett as an opener against the Milwaukee Brewers to avoid Frankie Montas’ first-inning struggles, and Garrett retired all three batters in the first inning. Montas entered in the second, gave up consecutive one-out singles, issued a two-out walk to load the bases, and saw a fielding error by shortstop Francisco Lindor bring in two runs.

In the third inning, Montas issued a walk and threw a wild pitch, but did not give up a run, then in the fourth inning, Brice Turang hit a solo home run, his second in consecutive games. Montas threw 72 pitches over three innings, surrendering three runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks.

The outing forced the Mets to use high-leverage relievers Gregory Soto and Tyler Rogers earlier than planned, and including Garrett, they used six pitchers in the game, which ended in a 7-4 Brewers win and the Mets’ sixth straight loss.

Key Takeaways

Frankie Montas lasted only three innings after following opener Reed Garrett, allowing three runs (one earned) as his Mets ERA rose to 6.38 in eight outings.
The Mets blew a 6-1 lead in a 7-6 loss to the Brewers, their seventh straight defeat, falling 5.5 games behind the Phillies in the NL East.
Mets starters have gone 51 consecutive games without two different pitchers reaching six innings, forcing the bullpen to throw 209.2 innings over the last 49 games.

Mendoza Addresses Montas’ Rotation Status

Before Sunday’s series finale in Milwaukee, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was asked about Montas’ rotation status, saying, “We haven’t made a decision. As of now, he’s still in line. Have to get through today’s game… right now, we haven’t had any discussions.”

— SNY (@SNYtv) August 10, 2025

Montas, 32, signed a two-year, $34 million contract with the Mets in the offseason, but a right lat strain during early spring training delayed his debut until the summer. In eight appearances (seven starts) with the Mets, he has a 6.38 ERA, a 1.56 WHIP, and 7.9 strikeouts per nine innings while giving up eight home runs in 36.2 innings, and during six minor league rehab starts, he had a 12.05 ERA and gave up eight home runs in 18.2 innings.

Rotation Options and Injury Updates

If the Mets change their rotation, Triple-A Syracuse pitchers Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean are candidates, with Sproat giving up three runs over six innings on Thursday, August 7, and McLean pitching four innings of one-run ball on Sunday, August 10, in his first start on four days’ rest this season.

Veteran Paul Blackburn, recovering from a right shoulder impingement, gave up three runs (two earned) over 5.2 innings in his fourth rehab start for Syracuse on Friday, and in six games (four starts) with the Mets this season, he is 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA and a 1.98 WHIP. Tylor Megill, recovering from a right elbow sprain, threw live batting practice on Thursday and may soon begin a rehab assignment. And in 14 starts this year, he is 5-5 with a 3.95 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP.

Mets Lose Lead in Series Finale Against Brewers

On Sunday, August 10, 2025, the Mets lost 7-6 to the Brewers after leading 6-1, as Milwaukee tied the game 6-6 in the eighth inning and Isaac Collins hit a walk-off home run off Edwin Díaz in the ninth. The loss was the Mets’ seventh in a row and 11th in their last 12 games, dropping them 5.5 games behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies. Mendoza said, “It’s hard to describe. Tough, frustrating. But we’ve got to turn the page. We have to keep going. We have to find a way to start getting victories. That wasn’t a good showing. They pretty much outplayed us.”

Betting Market Movement During Losing Streak

For Tuesday, August 12, 2025, against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field, multiple sportsbooks list the Mets as slight favorites with moneyline odds around -140, totals set at 8 runs, and the run line at Mets -1.5 near +150, with FanDuel and DraftKings listing similar numbers and Oddsshark projecting a close score simulation slightly favoring Atlanta.

In World Series futures, BetMGM lists the Mets at +1400, VegasInsider’s consensus lists them at +1000, and FanDuel recently had them near +850; in December 2024, after signing Juan Soto, their odds moved to +800 at DraftKings and FanDuel, and Caesars’ opening post-2024 line had the Mets at +700.

Slumps Among Key Hitters

Francisco Lindor is batting .191 with a .602 OPS over his last 50 games since June 12, Pete Alonso — who tied Darryl Strawberry for second on the Mets’ all-time home run list with 252 — is batting .168 with a .593 OPS over his last 26 games, Brandon Nimmo has struck out 26 times in his last 58 at-bats and has a .476 OPS with a .269 on-base percentage, and Juan Soto is batting .189 with a .757 OPS over his last 25 games.

Nimmo said, “We can go on a run. We’ve still got time. It just takes putting it together, playing some good baseball. I don’t think the division is slipping away. We’re still within shot. This team specifically has been known to go on runs. We can easily rattle off a winning streak, especially with the people we got here. But it’s going to take turning it around.”

Rotation Struggles and Bullpen Usage

Mets starting pitchers have gone 51 consecutive games without two different pitchers recording at least six innings in a start, the longest single-season streak since at least 1901, and since June 13, Mets starters have pitched 220 innings while the bullpen has pitched 209.2 innings.

Mendoza said, “We saw [Taylor] Rogers a third day in a row [on Sunday]. We’re asking a lot of the bullpen. Reed Garrett, before you know it, he’s pitching in the fifth inning [after opening on Saturday]. Raley went two ups on Friday, he’s not available [Saturday], and then we ask him to pitch a full inning [Sunday]. We have to get our starters going.”

Current Standings and Remaining Schedule

The Mets are 19-31 in their last 50 games, the third-worst record in the majors over that span, and hold the final NL Wild Card position 1.5 games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds. They will face the Phillies seven more times, beginning later in August at Citi Field, and will next play the Atlanta Braves, who recently won four of five games against the Miami Marlins.

Mendoza said, “We just gotta go out and do it. We have the talent, we have the players, but we have to start playing better baseball and just go out and get the job done. I know it’s frustrating, we’re all frustrated in here, but we just have to keep going because nobody said it was going to be easy.”
