Westgate SuperBook

Online Sports Book Review

Overall Rating: 4.2/5

The Westgate SuperBook sports betting app is available to iOS and Android users in Nevada. The SuperBook is possibly the most famous sportsbook in the world with bettors coming into Las Vegas from all over to place high stakes wagers that would only be accepted at the SuperBook. This is one of the few independently operated sportsbooks in Las Vegas, and it had a highly anticipated app release. The app offers all of the same betting options that a user can find at the brick-and-mortar but has slightly lower maximums for users. The Westgate SuperBook does not currently have a desktop or mobile browser version.

Pros:
  • Wide variety of parlay bets offered on the app
  • Can be used at home on WiFi
  • Accepts high stakes wagers
Cons:
  • Cannot bet on the Westgate SuperContest on the app
  • High minimum wager of $5
  • All deposits and withdrawals must be made at their brick-and-mortar

FAQs

How can I withdraw my winnings? And how long does the withdrawal process take?

All winnings must be withdrawn at either Westgate Las Vegas by the person who created the account.

Are my winnings taxable?

All Nevada online casino winnings must be reported to the IRS when you complete your annual federal tax return. This is done on Form 1044. You will tally up your total winnings and report them under the “other income” section. There is no state income tax in Nevada, so you will not have to report these winnings on your state tax return.

How do I get started?

The app can be downloaded anywhere and uses geolocation targeting to ensure that the user is in Nevada. The sign up process must be done in person, however. The process is simple and requires users to have a valid ID and an active Westgate Las Vegas players club card as well as to fill out 10-15 minutes of paperwork.

How do I deposit and is there a minimum?

To fund the account, new users must deposit cash with the casino cashier. The minimum deposit for first-time users is $100. The subsequent minimum deposit is $50. All deposits must be made at the Westgate Las Vegas.

Is there a deposit bonus?

The Westgate Superbook has constantly changing deposit bonuses, so it is advisable to ask the cashier what the current bonus is before depositing.

Pros

The Westgate SuperBook is one of the most recognizable names in legalized sports betting. As such, they have a very strong reputation and offer up the most types of bets out of any other sportsbook in Nevada. If a user has a very specific bet that they would like to place, the odds are very high that they can find it on the app. The app also offers its own parlay bets that are updated every day and provide users with the chance to win a lot of money on small wagers. It also updates betting options very quickly, so users do not have to worry about having to wait and place last-minute wagers. The Westgate SuperBook app is very easy to use and seems to be built with the customer in mind. The layout is very simple and makes placing a specific bet very intuitive. There are no frills on the app, so it is inviting for new gamblers. It is available on WiFi making it very simple to place wagers at home. The app has constantly changing sign up bonuses, so it is advisable to ask the teller what they are before signing up. The Westgate SuperBook app also accepts high-limit wagers. As mentioned previously, these tend to be a little bit lower than at their brick-and-mortar location, but they are still higher maximums than any other app in Nevada.

Cons

The biggest issue with the Westgate SuperBook app currently is that users cannot compete in the famous SuperContest through the app. The SuperContest is a weekly NFL betting contest that allows players to place five bets against the spread each week with the winner taking home $1 million. All of these bets must be placed at their brick-and-mortar location and are not yet available on the app. The Westgate SuperBook app has a wager minimum of $5 which is higher than most of the other Nevada apps which have a minimum of $2. All deposits and withdrawals must take place at Westgate Las Vegas which can be frustrating for users who do not live near the sportsbook. These types of deposits and withdrawals can take away from some of the appeal of placing wagers at home.

How To Place A Bet

In order to place a bet, the bettor must determine what they want to gamble on. If the bettor decides to place a bet on the Minnesota Wild moneyline against the Edmonton Oilers, they simply have to click the moneyline option for that game. Once clicked, the bet will appear on the betslip on the bottom of the page. The betslip can hold multiple bets, so a player can choose up to 10 different betting options and place money on them individually or in a parlay, round robin, or teaser bet. Once the bets are placed, the betslip is cleared and the player can place more wagers if they choose to.

How To Deposit and Withdraw

The first step for new users will be to download the app and create an account. The app can be downloaded anywhere and uses geolocation targeting to ensure that the user is in Nevada. The sign up process must be done in person, however. The process is simple and requires users to have a valid ID and an active Westgate Las Vegas players club card as well as to fill out 10-15 minutes of paperwork.

To fund the account, new users must deposit cash with the casino cashier. The minimum deposit for first-time users is $100. The subsequent minimum deposit is $50. All deposits must be made at the Westgate Las Vegas. Withdrawals are handled in the same way, so no money is actually exchanged through the app. There are constantly changing promotions and ways for users to earn from their loyalty rewards cards. Ask a customer service representative of Westgate SuperBook what the current promotions are.

Conclusion

Westgate SuperBook definitely has a lot of positives including its recognizable name, simple to use app, high stakes payouts, and use on Wifi. However, it also has some drawbacks like high wager minimums, inability to withdraw money from the app, and no access to the SuperContest. Overall though, this is a well respected app that provides users a good avenue to place at-home wagers on a wide variety of sporting events.
