Bets Offered
Overview - If you only bet on moneylines, spreads, and totals, theScore Bet is a sufficient offering. If you like exotic props and custom bets you should look elsewhere.
Disappointing number of bets Unfortunately, theScore Bet offers few bets outside of moneyline, total, and spread bets. For most NFL, MLB, and Soccer games, there are only five or fewer prop bets. Most sportsbooks offer upwards of 15-20 team and player props. For example, at other sportsbooks, you can bet over/under how many yards Tom Brady will throw for or how many total touchdowns will be thrown in an NFL game.
Cross-app bet tracking If you frequent theScore media app for live scores, play-by-play updates, and news, theScore Bet makes sense as a sports betting option. Bets you place in theScore Bet can be tracked in theScore media app. The teams you highlight as favorites in the media app will automatically be highlighted in theScore Bet app. Real-time scoring and live odds movements align with your live matchup experience between both apps, allowing you to track teams and bets easily.
Cash-out feature The cash-out feature allows you to amend your original bet. Cashing out early allows you to lock in a profit or loss by settling your bet (or a portion of your bet) early, without having to wait for the event to finish.

theScore Bet offers five sports, the lowest number I've seen a new sportsbook offer. Football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer are the only sports offered. College football and basketball are available to bet on, as well as seven different soccer leagues. Golf, tennis, and MMA/UFC are not available to bet.

Live Betting
theScore Bet live betting is bland, which is unfortunate because it has the potential to be amazing. While there is a down and distance tracker and live clock (see image below), theScore Bet does not include play-by-play updates or stats. Users have to use theScore media app for that information, which is a missed opportunity for greatness. In terms of live bets, theScore Bet does not offer any instant bets or play-by-play bets, another missed opportunity.

Customer Service
theScore Bet offers 24/7 live chat, 24/7 phone support, and email responses within 24 hours. My experience with theScore Bet customer service was excellent. Agents responded promptly with detailed answers, providing me with more than what I asked for.
Mobile Betting
theScore Bet app is available for Android and iOS devices. There is not currently a desktop version available to bet on. The mobile app is good, but has the potential to be great. theScore Bet provides bettors with links to game details, stats, and betting info in its media app, theScore.
It would be nice if theScore was able to include some of this information in its betting app, so users don't have to switch back and forth. Regardless, theScore media app is only a click away and provides vital information such as injuries, matchup stats, and game information. The screenshots below are from theScore media app.Gallery

About theScore Bet
theScore Bet is the sportsbook, which uses the same branding and name as theScore media app. theScore media app is an app that provides sports fans with news on teams and players, fantasy information, standings, and scores and stats. In my personal experience, I've found theScore media app to be faster and superior to the ESPN app when checking the score of a close game. theScore media app had over 100M users in January 2019. theScore is VC-backed and has raised a total of $94.4M in funding over four rounds, according to Crunchbase.
Methodology
For the BettingBuck.com annual best online sportsbooks review published in 2020, a total of 2,300 data points were collected over six months and used to score sportsbooks. Additionally, odds data was collected for each sportsbook on over 1,400 bets to give each sportsbook a comparative odds ranking.
Sports betting sites were scored across seven core categories to computer an overall rating: total number of sports and bets offered, odds, live betting features, mobile apps, educational resources, ease of use, and current bonuses.

TheScore has raised $186 million from its dual listing on the Nasdaq exchange in the United States.
The sportsbook operator said the transaction was completed Monday, with 6.9 million shares sold to underwriters. That was 900,000 more shares than initially planned, as the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option.
The offering was carried out at $27 per share, giving the company a market cap around $1.3 billion.
It means theScore is now dual listed on the Nasdaq and the Toronto Stock Exchange. The shares were up around 6% in Toronto on Monday, continuing a massive run-up this year.

Who bought shares of theScore stock?
The offering was conducted through a syndicate of underwriters as joint book-running managers:
- Morgan Stanley
- Credit Suisse
- Canaccord Genuity
- Macquarie Capital
Eight Capital, Cormark Securities Inc. and Scotiabank acted as co-managers.
Where will theScore spend the cash?
TheScore said it would use the proceeds to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes. It will invest in the deployment and operations of its sportsbook, including user acquisition and retention.
TheScore previously said the dual listing will also expose it to more investors and liquidity.
“We believe a U.S. listing would benefit our business and shareholders as we seek to further execute on the growing opportunity in the rapidly developing North American sports betting market,” theScore founder and CEO John Levy said in a statement. “As the only fully integrated mobile sports media and gaming company in North America, theScore is uniquely positioned to grow our footprint and capitalize on the expansion of legalized sports betting and iGaming across the U.S. and Canada.”
TheScore Bet currently operates a mobile platform in four states:
It also expects to be a leader in Canada sports betting. As a result, analysts have floated company as an attractive M&A target for larger US sports betting operators.
