Hard Rock Massachusetts Promo Code And Sportsbook Review

Disclaimer: As of September 2024, Hard Rock Sportsbook is not planning to launch in Massachusetts. With that in mind, here’s a rundown of the best online sportsbooks that you can sign up with in Massachusetts:

Hard Rock, one of the most recognizable names in the hospitality industry, also offer sports betting, and its online sportsbook could be on its way to Massachusetts. Sports betting in Massachusetts is now legal, and Hard Rock could be looking to get in on the action.

When you open a new account, you’ll be eligible for up to $100. This is a great welcome bonus that all new users should consider taking advantage of.

There is a lot to know about Hard Rock Sportsbook, and we are here to tell you all you need to know. In addition to that welcome bonus, we’ll review the Hard Rock Sportsbook app, your banking options, the types of bets you can place and other key areas to see how Hard Rock stacks up against its competition.

Hard Rock Sportsbook Welcome Promo For September 2024

The Hard Rock Sportsbook sign up bonus of a $100 bonus bet is available once you create an account and make a deposit as a new customer. The bonus offer is a bit different from what you’ll find at many other online sportsbooks in that if you lose, the refund you receive will be in cash.

Hard Rock Sportsbook Massachusetts Welcome Bonus — The Fine Print

To receive the bonus offer, after creating an account, you’ll need to make a deposit and place a wager of at least $100 in both instances. If your wager wins, you’ll receive your payout as normal and the bonus offer bet will no longer apply. If your bet loses, however, you’ll receive a $100 refund as cash to your account balance.

You’ll need to place your initial, bonus offer bet withing seven days of opting into the offer, and you cannot use it on a futures bet.

Hard Rock’s Bonus vs the Compeition

On the downside, $100 is a smaller bonus offer bet than you will find many other sportsbooks advertising. Additionally, you need to wager $100 or more to even qualify.

If your bet loses, you’ll receive the refund as cash in your account that you can withdraw or wager again as you wish. Most other sportsbooks, if they offer a bonus offer, will issue the refund as some form of credit, and you must wager it again at least once to get anything from it. And then only if that second bet wins.

Can I Trust Hard Rock Sportsbook?

Yes, Hard Rock is a trustworthy sportsbook in Massachusetts. Prior to launching in Massachusetts, it debuted in both New Jersey, Iowa, Virginia, and then Arizona. In those states and any other states where Hard Rock launches, a state regulatory body will have vetted the sportsbook for fairness and trustworthiness.

Why Does Hard Rock Sportsbook Want To Track My Location?

It is common for licensed and regulated US sportsbooks to track the location of their users. This is needed in order to bet at the online sportsbook. To place a bet, you must be within a state where the sportsbook is legal. That is why whenever you are logged into your account, Hard Rock will use geolocation software to check your whereabouts.

Getting Started At Hard Rock Sportsbook Massachusetts

Signing up for a Hard Rock Massachusetts account is quick and easy to do. All that’s necessary to sign up with Hard Rock Sportsbook Massachusetts is an internet connection and a few personal details:

• First and last name
• Home address
• Email
• Phone number
• Birthdate
• Social Security number (last four digits)

Assuming you have no problem submitting that data, head to the sportsbook site and select “Join now.” Once you’ve filled out all the forms and checked a few boxes, you will be ready to start betting with Hard Rock Sportsbook.

Where Do I Find Hard Rock Promotions?

To see promos on the Hard Rock website, all you need to do is select “Promotions,” which you can find at the upper-most portion of the screen.

What Kinds Of Promotions Does Hard Rock Have?

The bad news, though, is that Hard Rock does not have much in the way of promotions at this time. There is a bonus offer of $100 when you sign up, but the only other offer we’ve seen to date is one for a free squares pool, and even that’s not totally free.

To be eligible for the squares pool, you have to bet $50 or more in the previous week. Additionally, only bets with odds of -150 or longer count toward the $50 betting requirement.

Parlay Booster

However, despite it not actually being listed anywhere, there is a parlay booster available at Hard Rock. Based on what we found, you’ll receive increased winnings on your parlays of three legs or more.

The way the boosts work is very simple: three leg parlays receive a 3% increase, and the increases continue to go up by one percentage point for each additional leg, up to 20% if you can manage to hit a 20-leg parlay.

Why Should I Choose The Hard Rock Sportsbook App?

Here are some of Hard Rock’s top aspects from our review:

• Great customer service: Preferably you would never run into a single problem and thus would never need to contact customer service. But if that ends up not being the case, Hard Rock has a quality help desk where you can talk to reps via live chat, email or phone.
• Rewarding welcome bonus: Many oddsmakers claim to have bet bonuses, but Hard Rock’s is the closest you’ll find to that actually being the case.
• Because you love Hard Rock: If you’re a huge Hard Rock enthusiast, then do you really need any other reason to sign up with Hard Rock Sportsbook? We’re guessing the answer is no. And while the website says a new rewards program is coming soon, you still can earn Hard Rock rewards points for every bet you make at the online sportsbook.

What Won’t I Like About The Hard Rock Sportsbook App?

As a sportsbook that still appears to be growing, there definitely are a few missteps that we’d like to see Hard Rock clean up:

• Limited promotions: Promos are arguably the second-best aspect of online sportsbooks (betting on sports will always be No. 1), but, sadly, Hard Rock doesn’t have much to offer at the moment. Even the hidden parlay booster lacks pizzazz, since a 10-leg parlay “only” earns a 10% boost, and hitting a 10-leg parlay is incredibly difficult.
• Poor loyalty club: It also is far from ideal that you have to bet a minimum of $10,000 in order to receive a complimentary hotel stay at a Hard Rock property.
• Limited wagering choices: This definitely is our biggest issue with Hard Rock online sportsbook currently. We’ve experienced numerous instances where there were exactly zero player prop betting markets for top sports at Hard Rock. It appears to be getting better, but it is not consistently there yet. If you’re looking for a sportsbook with an abundance of betting choices, Hard Rock has a ways to go before it gets there.

Types Of Bets At Hard Rock Sportsbook

Hard Rock offers a variety of sports betting options. We’ll go over the standard picks below, with the help of this example:

	Spread	Moneyline	Total Points
New England Patriots	-1.5 (-110)	-125	Over 47.5 (-110)
Denver Broncos	+1.5 (-110)	+105	Under 47.5 (-110)

Intro to sports betting: Moneylines, spreads and over/unders

These are the three most common types of sports bets. Once you understand how they work, the rest of the available straight bets at Hard Rock are very easy to understand.

Moneylines are bets on which side will win. Moneyline odds tell you who is favored and how much you’ll win with a successful bet. Here, the New England Patriots are small favorites, indicated by negative moneyline odds. The -125 odds mean a bet of $125 would win a profit of $100. The +105 odds for the Denver Broncos mean a bet of $100 would win you a profit of $105.

With point spread betting, the favored team must win by more than the negative spread number. So New England must win by two or more points. Meanwhile, Denver’s +1.5 spread means your bet on the Broncos would win if they lost by less than 1.5 or won the game by any score.

As for over/under or totals betting, you are wagering on the combined point total for the Patriots and Broncos. The over/under is 47.5, so if the teams combine to score 48 or more, over bets would win. Forty-seven or fewer points, and under bets would pay off.

Prop bets at Hard Rock

Prop bets, like over/unders, generally do not take the exact final score into account. Instead, you are placing bets on whether specific events will happen.

Using the game above as an example, you might find props for how many rushing, receiving or passing yards players will finish with, for players to score touchdowns or for how many total turnovers each team’s defense will force.

Parlays, teasers and round robins

All the bets we just discussed are single bets. You also can place multi-bets at Hard Rock. These wagers enable you to group bets together with the result being better odds than you would get placing them separately. For example, let’s say you want to place three NFL spread bets one weekend, and each bet has -110 odds.

• Parlays: For a parlay, you would need to get all three bets right in order to win. If you do, your three spread wagers would lead to over $61 in winnings on just a $10 bet (factoring in Hard Rock’s parlay booster).
• Teasers: With teasers, you also have to get each of your picks right. However, they make it easier to do so. That’s because you “tease” or move the spreads in your favor; we’ll say by six points for this example. The downside is that your odds drop dramatically. Now a $10 bet wins you just $14.
• Round robins: Finally, you have round robins, where you no longer have to be perfect to win some money. For our example, a round robin would be three two-team parlays, each one leaving out one of your selections. As long as you get at least two bets correct, you’ll win some money.

Futures and live betting at Hard Rock

Futures betting is when you wager on events where you likely won’t know the outcome for weeks or even months. Live betting, on the other hand, is when you wager on events going on that very second.

An example of a futures bet would be placing a wager on the Patriots to win the AFC East or the Super Bowl. You also could bet on a Patriots player to win the regular season MVP award or lead the league in rushing, for example.

With live betting, also known as in game betting, you are able to make a variety of standard bets, with the difference being that the game is going on right at that moment. For this reason, odds and lines will be changing based on what’s happening in the game. It also means you need to make your bets quickly before favorable odds potentially become much worse.

Can I Bet On The Boston Celtics At Hard Rock?

Yes, you can wager on the Boston Celtics, winners of 17 NBA championships, at Hard Rock Sportsbook. NBA betting also opens the door to some fairly distinctive prop betting options:

• First basket bets: When it comes to first basket wagers, you will have the option of betting on either the player or team that will score a game’s opening basket. Most of the time, if you bet on a player and that player is not in the starting lineup, the sportsbook will void the bet.
• Quarter and half bets: These wagers work just like full-time bets, but are just for the quarter or half in question. To illustrate, you could place a first quarter moneyline bet on Boston. If the Celtics are winning after 12 minutes, your bet would win.
• Double results: You have to correctly wager on the team that will be up at halftime, as well as the team that will win the game overall.
• Odds/evens: If you’re ever looking for a bet that feels like a total coin flip, this is it. Add up both teams’ final scores to see whether odd or even wins.
• Race to X: All that matters is which team scores a certain number of points first. For a race to 20 bet, if the team you picked reaches the 20-point mark first, you win.

How Do I Exclude Myself From Hard Rock?

• Set limits: Setting limits allows you to impose restrictions for how much you can deposit or how much you can bet during either a day, week or month. Additionally, you can restrict how many hours you spend logged into the sportsbook every day, week or month.
• Cool off: The cool-off option lets you take a break from Hard Rock for a period of anywhere from three to 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to place bets or make deposits.
• Self-exclude: The self-exclusion option allows you to close your Hard Rock Sportsbook account for a longer period of time (up to five years). While you can withdraw whatever funds you had in your account, you will not be able to do anything else.

Betting With Hard Rock Sportsbook In Person

Currently there are not any retail Hard Rock sportsbooks in Massachusetts. However, with the ability to place bets on your smartphone, we don’t believe this is a negative. Instead, when you go to your favorite sports bar you can bet from your table, making it like a sportsbook.

How Does Hard Rock Compare To Other Massachusetts Sportsbooks?

With Massachusetts sports betting still in its infancy, it’s difficult to say which sportsbook will reign supreme. However, we don’t see Hard Rock as a contender for the top spot until it starts offering more promotions and prop bets.

That’s not to say Hard Rock is bad, because it most definitely is not. It’s simply stating that Hard Rock needs to step it up in a few areas in order to compete with heavy hitters like DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and others.

Hard Rock FAQ

Do I get a welcome bonus for signing up with Hard Rock Sportsbook?

Yes, a $100 bonus bet. When you sign up and make a deposit and wager of $100 or more, you’ll receive a refund of $100 if that bet loses.

How does Hard Rock payout when I win?

At the present time you can withdraw potential winnings using e-check or via a bank transfer. While the options are slightly limited, the positive is that Hard Rock does not charge withdrawal fees, and it only takes up to two business days to process your requests.

Can I trust mobile sportsbooks like Hard Rock?

Yes, with the new laws to allow for mobile sports betting also came new regulation and rules to oversee sports wagering in states across the US. Hard Rock is a licensed online sportsbook in Iowa and New Jersey so far, and as it launches in other states, it will need to have received a license there, too.

How does Hard Rock Sportsbook compare to DraftKings?

Both DraftKings and Hard Rock offer competitive odds for top pro and college sports. However, DraftKings tends to offer more prop bets for most events and also has many more promotions than Hard Rock. Hard Rock meanwhile offers better ROI on its welcome bonus, while DraftKings’ offer for new users has a higher overall value. We recommend giving both books a try.

What is the minimum age to wager at Hard Rock Massachusetts?

The legal age to bet on sports in Massachusetts is 21. Hard Rock will verify your age when you create an account.
