Where Can I Bet On The Oscars? Oscar Betting Explained
It’s show time on March 10, when actors, directors, and fans will meet up to celebrate the past year’s top movies. For betting fans, this will also be a night filled with action. While Oscars betting is not available at sportsbooks in every state, we will break down everything bettors need to know before Hollywood’s big night, including where Oscars odds are legal. Here is where and how to bet on the Oscars.
What States Allow For Betting On The Oscars?
Sportsbooks in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Indiana, Arizona, Kansas, and Louisiana are able to offer Oscars odds.
These markets host several betting lines for the Academy Awards, including odds for each category. Those in other markets outside of the aforementioned seven states will unfortunately not be able to find Oscars odds. This is the case even if the markets offer regulated sports betting.
What Sportsbooks Are Offering Oscars Odds?
If you are in one of the markets that allow for betting on the Oscars then you can find odds at all the best sports betting sites that are live in those markets. DraftKings has recently expressed the growing interest in Oscars betting from Women bettors who are more interested in the Academy Awards than traditional sports betting.
“They say ‘I don’t want to bet on football, but now you’re talking Academy Awards and now you’re in my wheelhouse’,” said Johnny Avello, director of race and sports operations at DraftKings. “I believe that’s why we see higher engagement this time of year.”
Sportsbooks are hosting odds for bettors right now in a similar fashion to futures betting on one’s favorite team or player. And sportsbooks are paying out major funds on wins in the same capacity as with sports wagers.
