Sticking with legal and regulated online sportsbooks for your Super Bowl bets simply makes sense. State regulators oversee these operators to ensure your money is protected. If you run into a problem, the PGCB will handle it for you.
Betting on an illegal offshore sportsbook is like gambling with your money twice. There’s nowhere to go if the site gets funny with the money, no consumer protections, and no recourse if they refuse to pay you out.
