2020 theScore USA Sportsbook Review

All sports betting that takes place on theScore goes through the mobile apps at least for now. To its credit, the apps are very well designed and work incredibly well. They transition seamlessly through pages making the app enjoyable to use. The main screen features all of the top games that are scheduled to be played that day.

Trending games and promotions light up the app's main screen 

All of the sections on the site are also easy to get to, with tabs at the bottom for your bet history, live betting and a complete list of the sports available on theScore. By clicking on preview for major games, theScore media app will automatically open (ifr downloaded) for that game giving you an incredible analysis of the upcoming matchup.

• Current Form
• League Tables
• Current Injuries
• Game Previews
• Team Lineups

This is unmatched on most sportsbooks and an excellent way to prepare for your bets. The mobile app for theScore tells the story of its sportsbook. It works well, however it is extremely simple and many of the advanced features for betting are not included. 

There are not many betting options and it is difficult to find live bets available. If you are someone who enjoys making bets only on the outcome of games then it would be hard to find anything at fault with theScore. The mobile app works well and together with Score Media provides a unique sports betting experience. 

Signing up on theScore is necessary before you will be able to make deposits or bets on the sportsbook. In most states you will be able to sign up and register for sportsbooks no matter where you are located, however you will need to be within the legal state whenever placing a bet. 

• App Permissions - (Location)

• Account Information

• Personal Information

• Terms and Conditions

• Verification

The process of registration on theScore is a quick one that requires only basic information to complete. Much of the process is made up of general account and contact information. The information placed throughout the process must be accurate and up to date.

After you have entered all of the information and completed the process, theScore will need to verify your identity. This is done through the use of the last four digits of your Social Security number. This will normally only take a few seconds to complete.

Once your account has been approved you are set to go! If there is a welcome bonus available then theScore will immediately offer it to you and prompt you towards making a deposit. Login can be done using the email address and password you entered in registration. 

All of the bonuses on theScore can be found in the promotions section. There is usually a welcome offer available as well as an offer or two for existing players. Other promotions are updated usually to represent the changing of sporting seasons. Bonus offers on theScore are rated quite highly as they give players unique and beneficial offers. 

theScore does pay attention to its promotions section and often features something relevant for the games or leagues that are currently being played. There are also an assortment of promotions that can be found at any given time on the site.

• Free bets

• Cash back

• Parlay boosts

• Odds boosts 

• Live bets 

• Risk-free wagers

• Matched deposits

Getting any of these promotions is just a matter of being there at the right time, as they are constantly being updated with new offers. For each bonus, you will need to read the necessary requirements and fulfill them to receive each offer.

For welcome bonuses, you will be offered these immediately after completing your first task on the site, per the descriptions. These will most often be risk-free bets or matched deposits. Welcome bonuses are almost always available and are a great way to get started betting on the sportsbook. 

Once you are logged into your account, you will have the ability to deposit and withdraw funds at any time. This can be done by clicking on your account icon in the top right corner of the screen and selecting either deposit or withdraw.  There are three major categories that are available for making deposits. While there are no means an abundance of deposit options, there are certainly enough to give you variety and to cover most players. 

The minimum deposit on theScore is ten dollars for all methods.

It is surprising but equally refreshing to find a good amount of withdrawal methods available on theScore. The surprising part is that while PayPal and Neteller are available for withdrawals, they are not for depositing money, though we foresee that changing down the line. 

There are a few main points that theScore makes in regards to withdrawals on the site. The first is that you will need to have a government issued document uploaded before withdrawing any amount. The wait times are also mentioned, and will depend on the method you use, however no wait time should be longer than 72 hours. 

Right now, all betting with theScore will take place on mobile apps. The mobile apps are available for both IOS and Android mobile devices. Each of them are free to download. The IOS version is available in the Apple store, whereas the Android app is available directly off of theScore’s website.

The media app from theScore is and linked can be quickly accessed from the sportsbook

The app is integrated well with theScore's media app. This gives players access to a large amount of additional information such as game previews and statistics. The complete analyses include relevant news for games, leading all the way up to the start. These features are available for many of the competitions on the theScore, though the apps need to be separately downloaded. 

Mobile Betting App Positives

• Great selection of sports to bet on

• Integrated well with theScore news/ sports app

• App runs smoothly and quickly

• The design looks good and features exclusive promotions

Areas That Could use Improvement

• Layout of the app can make some sections hard to find

• Missing a good selection of betting features

The mobile app will be the only option for a while, and it's possible that theScore will not ever introduce a desktop version. Still, the problems are not with the app, which actually runs great much of the time, however it continues to be with the lack of betting markets or features. 

This could actually be taken as good news, as it means there is no need to tear down the entire app and start new. Simply adding more markets and betting features could greatly improve the playability of the theScore app. 

In case of any possible disputes or questions regarding your time betting, theScore does have a great informational section that you can access under your account.Here you can find many of the answers that you are looking for. Among the items under ‘help’ is a very extensive list of FAQs with detailed written answers for each.

There are also plenty of different categories that theScore has betting guides for, such as account information, how to bet guides and theScores own rules and regulations. Of course, sometimes an article is not enough to give you the correct answer with your concern. theScore has customer support options that allow you to get in touch for exactly this reason. 

• Telephone Number

• Live Chat

• Email Address

These customer support methods will allow you to quickly get in touch and are available on the app. If you have an urgent concern, then live chat or going through the phone will likely be the best options, although emails are also rather quickly replied to. 

While theScore is by no means a bad sportsbook, the lack of betting options are noticeable especially in a market like New Jersey. This is especially bad when you consider that many of its competitors are offering a more finely tuned product with more betting markets and features.

Live betting is incredibly popular, so to see the section so bland and lacking does not inspire much in the way of confidence. Overall, the sportsbook does function well and is certainly a viable option for betting. However, without major updates and additions, we would not expect users to be immediately satisfied with this option in its current state.
