The News We Cover

Action Network's news desk reports on the business of gambling in America; casino openings and closures, state legislation, industry deals, product launches, and the promotions and bonuses that come with them. If it moves money in this industry, we cover it.

Casino Coverage

We track the best online casinos month by month, review social casinos and sweepstakes casinos, and maintain running lists of no-deposit bonus codes and welcome offers as operators change them. On the land-based side, we follow new property openings, licensing decisions, and expansions; from Bally's Chicago through to tribal and regional markets. Ready to start? Our Fanatics Casino promo code page covers one of the better current offers.

Industry and Policy

State legislatures, regulators and courts reshape this market constantly. We report on bills as they move, licences as they're awarded, and the enforcement actions that follow — including responsible gambling legislation and the growing scrutiny of sweepstakes operators. Our sports betting legalization tracker covers all 50 states, with a companion guide to sportsbooks by state.

Prediction Markets

Event contracts are the fastest-moving corner of this industry. We cover the platforms — Kalshi, Polymarket and the rest — as they win regulatory ground, sign partnerships, and expand into markets where sports betting isn't legal. Our best prediction market apps guide compares them side by side.

Sports Betting

News from across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, college basketball and WNBA, plus the events that drive the most handle — the Super Bowl, March Madness, the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the Kentucky Derby and the Masters. For live line data rather than reporting, see NFL public betting and college football odds.

Bonuses and Offers

Operators change their welcome offers frequently, and we update our reviews as they do. Current promo code coverage spans DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, bet365, Caesars, Fanatics and Hard Rock Bet, alongside daily fantasy (Underdog and Betr) and social sportsbooks (Fliff, Rebet, Thrillzz). Availability varies by state.

Beyond the Newsroom

The Action Network app tracks your bets and syncs with Playbook. Our podcasts run several times a week, and there's a Discord community if you'd rather talk it through. New to any of this? Start with our betting education resources.
