Sports Available to Bet On

All of the major leagues are available for you to bet on at Golden Nugget Sportsbook. When one of these leagues is in season, you’ll easily find them on the menu side or on Golden Nugget’s sports homepage.

Other Sports

Apart from the most popular sports, Golden Nugget Sportsbook offer a good range of additional sports from golf to table tennis.

Odds Comparison

We put Golden Nugget Sportsbook up against three other sportsbooks. We then compared their odds for an NBA match between Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons. FanDuel Sportsbook is one of the biggest betting sites in the US and had the best odds for the Bulls, who were at home. For this match, you’d be better off placing the bet with FanDuel.

For the Pistons, Golden Nugget and Borgata Sport had the best odds by some way and so Golden Nugget are worth considering for your NBA betting needs.

Golden Nugget Sportsbook Blog and Betting Picks

Golden Nugget Sports don’t have a sports blog just yet, they should follow the footsteps of BetMGM who have a fantastic blog.

Bet Slip

The bet slip at Golden Nugget sportsbook is the standard bet slip you would have at any other sportsbook. The difference we found between this bet slip and other standard bet slips is that you cannot minimize it, so it will take up most of the space on screen.

Betting Markets

For all of their matches, both pre-game and live betting, Golden Nugget sportsbook offers a large range of betting markets.

The variety is decent so you’ll have plenty of options to choose from, and crucially the markets are quite straightforward to find and navigate to.

NFL

The NFL section on Golden Nugget Sportsbook can be found on the left side under ‘Popular’. The betting markets for NFL seem to be updated later than other sportsbooks, so you’ll have to wait until they have all the betting markets available before placing a bet. The match that we did find updated had over 50 betting markets for an NFL match.

The odds are your average odds found at another sportsbook, but we did note that their margin was a tad smaller.

NFL

Margin 3.17% NFL Betting Markets Spread Alternate, total points over/under alternate, total points, First TD scorer, Anytime TD scorer, 1st Half spread/moneyline, 1st Half total points over/ under, 1st Quarter spread/winner/total points over/under, total passing touchdowns, total receptions, total passing yards, total rushing yards Odds Average Promotions None

Football Promotions at Golden Nugget Sportsbook

The NFL season was on during the writing of this review, so if there were any NFL promotions available then we would have found them. We hope to see Golden Nugget sportsbook add at least one NFL promotion for the next NFL season.

NBA

NBA on Golden Nugget Sportsbook is listed under both Basketball and in the ‘Popular’ section. NBA season was still not on when we conducted this review, which is why there weren’t any matches available on the sportsbook for us to review.

NBA

Margin 3.56% NBA betting markets Money line, points spread, total points over/under, match winner 3 way, point spread 3 way, total points odd/even, winning margin Odds Average Promotions None

Basketball Promotions at Golden Nugget Sportsbook

Since the NBA season was still not on, there obviously weren’t any promotions on this specific sport. We suggest you take a look at the sportsbook’s promotion section once the season starts.

NHL

NHL seems to be taken more seriously as they had most betting markets updated, unlike the NFL section. We compared the NHL matches that Golden Nugget had to those of FanDuel Sportsbook, a more established betting site. Golden Nugget Sportsbook had their betting markets up as well as spread/total odds up, while FanDuel only had moneyline up.

NHL

Margin 3.7% NHL betting markets Puck line, total goals over/under, match result 3 way, handicap 3 way, correct score, total goals, winning margin, double chance Odds Average Promotions None

Ice Hockey Promotions at Golden Nugget Sportsbook

Although the season is well underway, there weren’t any specific promotions for NHL. However, you can use their parlay boost promotion on any selections with -145 odds or greater.

MLB

You can easily find the MLB bets on the ‘Popular’ section at Golden Nugget Sportsbook. They have a good number of betting markets for MLB, offering over 40 for you to choose from. The margin for this specific sport is also quite low, which is great news for bettors.

MLB

Margin 2.86% MLB betting markets Run line, run line action, total runs over/under, run line alternate, total runs over/under alternate, total runs, winning margin, race to 2 runs Odds Average Promotions None

Baseball Promotions at Golden Nugget Sportsbook

There weren’t any promotions during the MLB season, but you could check out their more general promotions like parlay booster.

NCAA

NCAA betting with Golden Nugget Sportsbook is great since they have a lot of different betting markets for you to wager on. We compared them to FanDuel Sportsbook and Golden Nugget had the cashout option on all their betting markets – unlike FanDuel which only had it on 3 betting markets. We also compared their odds and didn’t find a big difference between them.

NCAA

Margin 3.78% NCAA betting markets Total points over/under, Total points, 1st Half Spread, 1st Half money line, 1st Half total points over/under Odds Average Promotions None

NCAA Betting Promotions at Golden Nugget Sportsbook

There weren’t any promotions specifically on NCAA betting, however, you could still try to use their parlay booster for any NCAA sports bets you might place.

Golden Nugget Sportsbook Betting Features

Golden Nugget Sports have a very easy and simple user interface. The app allows you to choose between their casino and sportsbook, which is great as it allows you to focus on just sports.

An early cashout option is available for most matches and you will know before placing a bet if you can cash out. You’ll find a cashout symbol next to the betting market, which for this sportsbook is a hand holding cash. Knowing whether a match allows cashout is pretty useful as some sportsbooks don’t display this before you place a wager.

• 

  Early cashout

  Early cashout is available for both pre-game and live betting.

• 

  Live streaming

  Live streaming is not available at Golden Nugget Sportsbook.

• 

  Bet Builder/Same-game Parlay

  Golden Nugget Sportsbook allow you to combine multiple selections from one game into the same bet on certain fixtures.

• 

  Easy parlay

  No easy parlay is available at Golden Nugget Sportsbook.

• 

  Edit Bet

  No edit bet is available currently at Golden Nugget Sportsbook.

If this sportsbook had other features apart from cashout and bet builder, it would surely help them gain more customers. Most customers prefer using the features above as it makes their wagering experience much better.

Golden Nugget Sportsbook Live Sports Betting

It is very easy to access Golden Nugget’s live sports betting section on both mobile and desktop. On the left side, you’ll find a ‘Live Now’ button which will take you to the in-play matches that are available for wagering.

During an event, Golden Nugget will have plenty of live betting markets available. Unfortunately, there isn’t a live streaming option just yet. There also seemed to be a bit of a delay when we compared their live odds with another similar sportsbook.

Range of markets Average Live stats Average Ease of use Average Live streaming options None

We hope to see more live betting features being offered at Golden Nugget Sportsbook as this would make the experience more fun and simple to use. Unfortunately, if you want to watch a game while betting then you’ll have to find elsewhere to view it and then look at another screen to bet on Golden Nugget.
