SportsBetting.ag Review
BetOnline's sister room — same pool, same fast crypto banking.
Overview
SportsBetting.ag is the sister skin of BetOnline on the Chico Poker Network — the two share an identical player pool, banking and game selection. In practice, choosing between them comes down to which brand's bonus and promotions you prefer.
With roots going back to 2003, it's one of the longest-standing gambling brands serving US and Canadian players, and it carries the same fast crypto cashier that makes the Chico rooms attractive.

Best for
Players who want the Chico pool with a second brand's bonus and promos.
US players
Accepts players from most US states and Canada, but actively blocks registrations from several states — commonly New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Washington. Confirm from your location.
Canadian players
Open to Canadian players, with crypto banking and traffic shared with BetOnline across the Chico Network.
Bonus & promotions
100% poker welcome bonus up to $1,000 using a qualifying deposit, released as $5 for every $50 of rake generated.
Rakeback / rewards: Rake-based rewards, reloads and cross-product promos. Promo code: Check site for current code.
Welcome bonus
The poker welcome bonus is a 100% match up to $1,000. It uses the same transparent rake-based clearing as its sister site — roughly $5 released for every $50 in rake you generate — so progress is easy to track.
Because SportsBetting shares infrastructure with BetOnline, you also get access to cross-product sportsbook and casino promotions from a single account and wallet.
Availability & banking
SportsBetting accepts players from most US states and Canada, but it is stricter than some rooms about geo-blocking — states including New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Washington are commonly blocked at registration. Always check that it accepts players from your specific location first.
Banking is crypto-first: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDC, XRP and Bitcoin Cash all work with no platform fee and fast payouts. Card deposits are possible but carry a steep fee, so crypto is the clear recommendation.
Games & traffic
As part of Chico, SportsBetting draws thousands of concurrent players at peak, with cash games spanning micro to mid stakes in both 6-max and 9-max formats, plus PLO and a daily tournament schedule.
The recreational lean of the traffic keeps games relatively soft, which is a plus for winning players even if the overall pool is smaller than the Winning Poker Network's.
Banking & payouts
Deposit methods
- • Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDC, XRP, BCH & more
- • Visa / Mastercard (fees apply)
- • Vouchers / transfers
Withdrawal methods
- • Cryptocurrency (fastest, no platform fee)
- • Bank wire
- • Courier check
Payout speed: Crypto withdrawals typically process within 24 hours. Card deposits can carry a fee approaching 10%, so crypto is by far the best-value option here.

Our verdict
SportsBetting.ag is essentially BetOnline under a different name, and that's a good thing: you get the same fast crypto banking, the same soft Chico pool and a comparable bonus. It's a smart second account if you've maxed out BetOnline's welcome offer and want more promotional value.
It ranks #4 because of its stricter state blocking and the fact that it mirrors BetOnline rather than adding a distinct pool — but it's a dependable, long-established room.
