Barstool
Barstool Sportsbook and Casino no longer operates under the Barstool name. The brand moved to ESPN BET in November 2023, and then changed again in December 2025 to theScore Bet in the United States. The casino side now runs as Hollywood Casino inside the theScore Bet app and website, so if you remember Barstool for its market approach, that legacy lives on under new branding. Read our original review for historical context and details.
What the successor looks like today
The modern offering combines theScore Bet’s sportsbook with Hollywood Casino’s casino catalog. Expect NetEnt titles and games from Digital Gaming Solutions, a mobile-first interface, and in-state access controls that only allow play where the platform holds a license. The transition means players get a familiar product lineage but under different names, account rules, and bonus structures.
Hollywood Casino welcome offer — low playthrough, tight timing
Current casino players now see a practical welcome package:
- Use bonus code "SDSCASINO" to claim $50 in casino credits and 50 bonus spins after placing a qualifying $5 wager and a minimum $10 deposit.
- Both the credits and the spins carry a 1x wagering requirement, and they expire seven days after issuance.
- Bonus spins are usually limited to select NetEnt slots, while the casino credits apply across slots, blackjack, roulette, and live dealer titles in eligible states.
The 1x playthrough is unusually player-friendly — it lets you convert credits to withdrawable cash faster than most welcome bonuses — but the seven-day expiry pushes you to use the funds quickly. Terms and conditions apply, including state eligibility and one welcome bonus per player across Penn Entertainment platforms.
Sportsbook cross-product deals you should know
If you sign up for the sportsbook product within theScore Bet, two common welcome routes are available:
- First bet protection or "bet reset" values up to $1,000 in bonus bets if your first wager loses.
- Bet $10, get $100 in bonus bets if your first bet wins, depending on the sign-up choice and market odds.
Activation typically requires promo codes like "ROTO" or "ACTION," a minimum $10 deposit, and adherence to a seven-day validity window. Bonus bets are stake-not-returned, meaning only winnings from those bonus bets are paid out. Check the sportsbook terms before placing eligible wagers.
Game lineup, wagering contribution, and play experience
Hollywood Casino’s library focuses on what U.S. players want: slots, blackjack, roulette, video poker, craps, and live dealer tables. Expect:
- Slots to contribute 100% toward wagering requirements, which helps clear bonuses quickly.
- Table games and live dealer to contribute significantly less, often in the 10%–20% range, so those games are best for fun or strategy rather than clearing a deposit bonus.
- NetEnt titles featured for bonus spins, and Digital Gaming Solutions powering many core casino tables.
The interface emphasizes fast load times, clear game filters, and mobile-first navigation inside a single app experience that combines sportsbook and casino play.
Payments, currencies, and customer support
The platform supports a mix of fiat and crypto options, making deposits and withdrawals flexible:
- Bank and card: ACH (bank transfer), eCheck, MasterCard, Visa.
- Crypto: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dashcoin (DigitalCash), Ethereum, Litecoin.
- Currency support includes United States dollars, plus the accepted cryptocurrencies above.
Customer service options include an FAQ section, live chat, and email at support@barstoolsportsbook.com. Payouts and processing times will vary by method, and state regulations may affect availability. Always verify withdrawal timelines in the site’s terms and customer support notes.
Where you can play, and key state restrictions
Casino access is limited to licensed states. Casino credits and spins are available only when you are physically located inside the following states: Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Sportsbook offers have broader availability, but eligibility lists change; states commonly included for sportsbook access are Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Geolocation is required for all real-money action.
Responsible play and practical takeaways
This successor product offers fast-moving promos, modern crypto and bank payment options, and a low 1x wagering welcome bonus that’s attractive for players who want quick playthroughs. The trade-offs are short expiration windows, state-only access, and standard restrictions like one welcome bonus per player across related brands. Promotions can change, and all offers are subject to platform terms and local regulations.
If you’re comparing modernized versions of the old Barstool product, theScore Bet’s Hollywood Casino brings familiar game types, easy crypto options, and a straightforward welcome deal — but read the bonus terms carefully, confirm state eligibility, and verify which promo codes apply before you deposit.
