Sportsbook Review: Hard Rock Bet

Hard Rock Bet Review

For this Hard Rock Bet sportsbook review, I spent time on Hard Rock Bet’s website and betting app. You’ve probably heard of the Hard Rock brand from its restaurants and hotels, so in case you’re wondering, yes it’s that Hard Rock.

You’ve come to the right place for a fair and honest review of Hard Rock Bet. My name is Tony Farmer, and I’m an avid bettor who has written sports and sports betting content for many years and several publications. Currently I’m hosting “The Huddle” Podcast for Odds Shark, providing regular sports betting content.

This reviews examines everything from the deposit/withdrawal process to specific betting options and everything in between, like customer service, bonuses, and app functionality.

Welcome Offer and Promotions

Hard Rock Bet regularly offers generous welcome bonuses and bet boosts for active users. The specific offers at Hard Rock Bet are constantly changing, but you can keep up to date with the Hard Rock Bet promotions if you're worried about catching a case of FOMO. 

Hard Rock Bet Sign-up Bonus

New Hard Rock Bet users who place a wager of $5+ at odds of -250 or longer will immediately get $100 in bonus bet credits.

The credits last for 14 days and there are no restrictions on which bets you can use them on.

The simple purple-and-white Hard Rock interface is a breath of fresh air in an overstimulated sports gaming industry. While other apps cram information and options in your face, Hard Rock Bet plays it cool, leaving it up to the user to navigate their sports betting journey through a clean and straightforward interface.

My favorite feature of Hard Rock Bet is its generous promotions. For instance, the “Inning 3 Guarantee” offered me a bonus bet if my MLB team was winning after three innings, but lost the game. I took advantage of several bet boosts for NFL games including the 49ers beating the Seahawks in Week 6 by 7+ (boosted from +135 to +170).

Hard Rock Bet’s loyalty program, which credits you with points based on your betting volume, is one of the best in the business as hotel stays, bonus bets, merchandise and other betting bonuses are all on the table.

If you’re interested in dipping your toes in other forms of gambling, Hard Rock boasts more than 600 different slot machines and a full online casino.

Hard Rock Bet vs. Competitors

With 24/7 live chat help and a solid promotions page and rewards program, Hard Rock Bet is competitive with its competition. That said, any professional bettor will tell you it's in your best interests to have multiple sportsbooks and to shop around before making each bet. Even if two books have the same point spread, one might have -110 juice while the other might be -115 and that difference will impact your bankroll over time.

Live Betting

Hard Rock Bet gets my stamp of approval for live betting, particularly for its unique “My Pinned Events” tab, which lets bettors pin whichever current or upcoming event they’d like to bet on and track the action live. This creative feature isn’t available at a lot of major sportsbooks and adds easy access to the sporting events that matter to you.

Hard Rock provides a standard live-betting menu like you may have seen at other sportsbooks, plus a normal live-betting section that loads at the top of the page or app. Hard Rock Bet’s in-game betting menu also features relevant statistics to help you make a more informed wager. Like with all sportsbooks, expect extra vigorish on live betting lines when compared to pre-game lines.

Live Betting On The Pitch

Live Streaming

In 2022, Hard Rock Bet introduced live streaming via its in-app streaming hub. The selection of sports available to stream changes as Hard Rock makes deals with various leagues, but over the years we have seen the following sports streamed on the app: NHL, Copa del Rey Soccer, Germany’s Bundesliga, Chinese and German basketball leagues, Polish table tennis, ITF Tennis, and ATP Tennis. The app makes it easy to watch games while simultaneously pondering live bets.

Betting Markets & Odds

If you’ve been sports betting long enough, you likely have felt the frustration of a parlay coming up one leg short. “Flex Parlays” are pretty unique to Hard Rock Bet and allow you to adjust payouts so you can still win even if every leg doesn’t cash. Of course, by giving yourself a win if only four out of five legs cash, your payout decreases if all five hit. Hard Rock Bet’s flex parlay slider helps you find a sweet spot you’re comfortable with.

We always recommend shopping around for the best prices, but the odds on all sports at Hard Rock Bet are fair.

What Sports Can I bet on at Hard Rock Bet?

While the four major sports above are what the majority of people are looking to wager on, Hard Rock Bet clients can also bet on a wide range of other sports including NCAA Football, NCAA Basketball, NASCAR, soccer, tennis, golf, UFC, boxing, WNBA, and CFL. Some niche sports like darts, snooker, hand ball, table tennis and international hockey and basketball games are available too.

What type of bets can I make at Hard Rock Bets?

Hard Rock Bet has all the betting options you expect from an established sportsbook, and a few nice surprises too. UFC bettors will appreciate the "Winner & Exact Round" markets and NHL bettors can bet a YES/NO market on if both teams will score or not. Whether you've been betting on sports since Wayne Gretzky was dominating SportsCenter or you're new to the scene, Hard Rock Bet has you covered.
