When a sportsbook is named after a dog who's named after a racehorse, you know its passion for sports wagering is as genuine as it gets.

Boomer's Sportsbook is the brainchild of Joe Asher, former CEO of the gaming giant William Hill and proud papa to Boomer the canine. Asher has surrounded himself with similarly canny veterans of the sports betting industry. But while rival sportsbooks seek to expand into as many states as possible, be it through traditional licensing or prediction markets, Boomer's focus has been squarely on serving bettors in the state of Nevada.

Boomer's Sportsbook launched in Nevada in August 2025. By a year later, it had opened sportsbooks in 14 casinos in every nook and cranny of the state, including, of course, Reno and Las Vegas. Boomer's also has an easy-to-navigate sports wagering app that includes the usual fixed-odds options alongside parimutuel betting on horse racing.

With bonus perks for bettors old and new, Boomer's Sportsbook is merging sports betting's longstanding sense of community with cutting-edge technology to give Nevadans and those who visit the state whatever kind of sports wagering experience they desire.

Funding your Boomer's Sportsbook account

Sports bettors of the legal age of 21 or over who want to gamble online or through a smartphone app in Nevada must register to do so in person. Fortunately, Boomer's has 14 brick-and-mortar sportsbook locations – with a vision to potentially double that total – throughout the state to get bettors signed up and placing sensible, informed wagers from whatever platform they prefer.

To become eligible for a Boomer's Sportsbook account, potential account holders must submit an acceptable and valid proof of identification, proof of residence, and social security number. Once a Boomer's bettor signs up for a mobile sports betting account, they can fund it in a number of ways, including via debit card, Apple Pay, or PayNearMe, which allows account holders to add funds with cash deposits made at retailers like 7-Eleven and Walmart. Boomer's bettors can also make deposits in person at any retail Boomer's Sportsbook in Nevada.

Withdrawals from a Boomer's Sportsbook account may be made in person at retail Boomer's sportsbooks or via debit card, provided that card is the same one used for deposits. Boomer's account holders are allowed two free debit card withdrawals per month, with the processing fee waived.

Featured welcome bonus: First deposit match up to $250 in bonus bets

Adhering to its straightforward approach, Boomer's Sportsbook offers new account holders up to $250 in bonus bets upon first deposit, meaning they'll match that initial deposit dollar for dollar up to a $250 maximum.

Horse betting bonus: 4% comps on parimutuel wagering

In Nevada, racebooks have long been part and parcel to the sportsbook experience. Honoring this legacy, Boomer's Sportsbook offers horse betting, both through its mobile app and at its retail locations at Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and Club Fortune North Las Vegas Casino.

Account holders who choose to play the ponies will accumulate comps at Boomer's Sportsbook and its partner properties. After signing up for a Boomer's Sportsbook account, bettors can use their account number when placing parimutuel horse wagers. Four percent of an individual's parimutuel betting handle will then be available to put toward hotel rooms, food, drinks, and copies of Daily Racing Form at Silver Sevens or Club Fortune North Las Vegas.

Sports to wager on at Boomer's Sportsbook

Once bettors residing in or visiting the state of Nevada register for an online Boomer's Sportsbook account in person at a retail location, they can wager on the following sports from wherever they'd like: Australian Rules Football, auto racing, baseball, basketball, boxing, cricket, cycling, football, golf, hockey, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, tennis, and UFC/MMA.

Boomer's also has a section of its website dedicated to parimutuel wagering on horse racing. As previously mentioned, the more a bettor wagers on horse races, the more they'll earn in comps and perks at participating Boomer's properties.

With Boomer's being a sportsbook based exclusively in Nevada, it's important to note that the Silver State no longer prohibits wagering on local colleges like UNLV.

Bet types

If you simply want to bet on a team or athlete to win, that's called a moneyline bet. For instance, if you're keen on an up-and-coming boxer who's a +220 underdog to defeat a seasoned middleweight at Caesars Palace, a wager of $100 would earn a $220 profit, or total payout of $320. Conversely, a bet on a -220 favorite would require a $220 wager to win $100 – or a $22 wager to win $10.

When your team is favored to win, a wager on them to cover the spread is often a more attractive option than a moneyline bet. For example, if the UNLV men's basketball team is a 10.5-point favorite (-10.5) to beat Nevada-Reno, a bet on the Runnin' Rebels would cash if they win by 11 points or more.

If you want to bet on the total amount of points you think two teams will score when pitted against one another, that's an over/under bet. If Boomer's Sportsbook sets the total for a game between the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty at 172 points, an over bet would cash if they combine for 173 or more, while an under bet would pay out at 171 or lower and the score landing at precisely 172 would result in a push, or your money back.

While it's true that some sportsbooks offer prop bets on the result of the pregame coin toss at the Super Bowl, American sports bettors have come to view props as part of a balanced wagering diet. An NFL player prop might involve the odds on Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza personally eclipsing 250 yards in a given game, while a team-oriented prop could be the first squad to collectively reach 250 yards in that same contest.

Futures bets are great for diehard fans who feel that this is going to be the year that their team finally wins the whole shebang. These wagers can either be placed before or during the season starts, with sportsbooks offering futures odds on the likelihood of a team or player attaining certain year-end statistical milestones (such as a set amount of wins or rushing yards) or honors (like a conference title or MVP award).

On the other end of the patience spectrum is live betting, also known as in-play or in-game wagering. Here, you can bet on lines that are adjusted in real time during the course of a game or wager on something as microscopic as what the result of the next drive will be in a football game. This latter type of wager is occasionally called a microbet.

With high risk comes high reward, a space occupied by parlay wagering in the American sports betting psyche. A parlay is a single bet involving two or more straight bets, or legs. With few exceptions (see below), in order for a parlay to cash, each and every leg – be it two or 20 – must deliver a successful result. The more legs that are added to a parlay, the longer the odds – and the juicier the potential payout.

Responsible gambling at Boomer's Sportsbook

Nobody wins when gambling crosses the line from a fun, casual, and manageable form of entertainment to a serious problem that can lead to addiction, financial or familial ruin, and even death. This is why Boomer's Sportsbook is committed to providing a safe and responsible sports betting experience.

Boomer's has features which allow bettors to set daily, weekly, or monthly wagering limits; to establish restrictions on the amount of time they can spend gambling during a given day; or voluntarily take a break from gambling by placing a temporary exclusion on their account.
