1. BetOnline

image of offshore nhl betting site BetOnline

This bookmaker is one of the most known in the world, having a reputation that goes way beyond the US limits. BetOnline offers early NHL lines, which can be interesting and profitable.

But not only that. The margin on the NHL money lines here is 2.5%, and you won’t find many better offers among the competition. Such a thing opens up plenty of options for arbitrage betting, and do remember this because it might be helpful at one point.  There is a 100% welcome bonus for crypto deposits, up to $1,000, and if you decide to make the initial transfer via bank or a credit card, it’s %50 also up to $1,000. The rollover requirements are high – crypto 14 times and for the usual deposits 10 times. 

  • Plus: Early odds
  • Minus: Very tough rollover requirements

2. MyBookie

image of offshore nhl betting site mybookie

MyBookie provides an exceptionally user-friendly interface, ensuring that website navigation is a breeze. The sportsbook is very well-rounded, equipping users with valuable information to grasp the fundamentals of hockey betting. 

Besides, MyBookie offers a blog with various previews, suggestions, and info, which everyone loves to see upon visiting one betting website. It’s not only the case for the NHL, with MyBookie including similar blogs for every big sport in their offer. 

The platform includes a variety of bonuses and promotions that are considered industry leading among the best NHL betting sites. The welcome bonus is 100% up to $1,000, which is an OK offer. The requirements are demanding, as you must do the rollover 10 times. 

  • Plus: Superb and easy design
  • Minus: They tend to release the odds slower than the competition

3. JazzSports

image of offshore nhl betting site jazzsports

JazzSports made a blast upon making it possible for their fans to have live streams of all the top hockey competitions. It’s something rare in the business, especially in the US. We were thrilled with this feature and have to admit that it’s one hell of a convenience.

Apart from that, JazzSports offers competitive odds, among the highest on the web. However, they have certain limitations compared to the rest of the competition in terms of the number of markets, limited props and specials, etc. 

The sign-up bonus is solid: 125% for crypto deposits – 100% for sports betting, and 25% for casino. They also have a $25 Risk-Free promo for live betting and prop betting. 

  • Plus: Live Streaming
  • Minus: An average number of markets

4. Bookmaker.eu

image of offshore nhl betting site bookmaker.eu

The simplicity of the design of this website is stunning. At first glance, it looks like some prehistoric version of today’s sportsbooks, but when you look a little bit closer, you’ll find out that Bookmaker.eu has everything perfectly placed on its interface for intuitiveness. Whether you are a pro or someone who is new into sports, you’ll easily find your way through the website. 

Bookmaker.eu is one of the top choices for those who like to bet on the NHL while the odds are still fresh, as they release the lines and the entire offer much faster than other sportsbooks. That’s something they nourish and is a tradition for this brand. 

Bonuses aren’t that high, 100% up to $500, but there are Reduced Juices on all NHL games. Now, that’s a cool feature for an NHL betting site. As mentioned before, the absence of contests is the only minus we have for this sportsbook. For example, they have to create some NHL survivor contest and complete their offer. 

  • Plus: Extremely early odds and lines
  • Minus: No NHL contests

5. SportsBetting.ag

image of offshore nhl betting site sportsbeting.ag

While some players may perceive SportsBetting.ag’s website as “outdated,” its mobile and handheld device optimization is impeccable. Navigating the site and placing bets pose no challenges, making it a preferred choice for bettors.

Live or in-play betting is exceptionally popular at SportsBetting.ag, thanks to its responsive software and glitch-free experience. The rapid odds updates ensure you won’t be left waiting.

While SportsBetting.ag offers many advantages, one potential drawback is the withdrawal process, which can be slower compared to the other brands listed above. If you’re dealing with a larger sum, expect some waiting time for the funds to arrive in your account.

  • Plus: Fast website, ideal for live-betting
  • Minus: Slow withdrawals

6. BetUS

image of offshore nhl betting site betus

Whether you want hot odds, a variety of betting options, early lines, fantastic user experience, generous bonuses, fast payouts, or unwavering customer service, BetUS is the place for you. For many, it’s the ultimate sportsbook for NHL betting. 

BetUS offers a diverse selection of markets, providing ample betting options. While you’ll find plenty of choices for NHL matches, there are also numerous props and specials available. The futures section is frequently updated, making it exciting to bet on events like the Vezina Trophy or Stanley Cup winners.

As for the welcome bonus, it’s one of the highest in the market—200% up to $2,500. However, it’s essential to note that not all of this bonus applies to NHL betting. Specifically, $1,875 is allocated for sports betting, while the remainder is for casino games. Keep in mind that the NHL betting site bonus has a 15-times rollover requirement. Additionally, BetUS offers reload bonuses for ongoing play.

  • Plus: Extensive bonuses and reload options
  • Minus: Extensive rollover conditions for sign-up bonuses

7. XBet

image of offshore nhl betting site xbet

XBet is an excellent sportsbook with exciting features and benefits for NHL bettors. As a sister sportsbook to MyBookie, XBet shares many similarities in its user-friendly interface, extensive betting options, and reliable payout system.

The odds are solid, as well as the range of markets. In general, they don’t have flashy features, but apart from that, an ordinary bettor won’t have any remarks on the overall betting site. This bookmaker also has an interesting NHL blog that provides previews and predictions, but apart from that, you can find other information such as betting tips.

XBet has a 100% welcome bonus of up to $500. That’s not impressive compared to other sportsbooks, but the main benefit is that the rollover requirement is only seven times.

  • Plus: Rollover requirements are low
  • Minus: NHL lines are released after a while

8. Bovada

image of offshore nhl betting site bovada

Bovada is definitely up there when you think about the best NHL betting sites in the world. They have many markets for one particular game, and some even include specials and props that can’t be found on other sportsbooks. Make no mistake, it’s the same with futures, as they have all sorts, from those focused on players to those predicting team wins and stats.

Live betting includes all the features mentioned above, making Bovada more or less a complete package for betting on the NHL. 

The welcome bonus for signing up is up to $750, and the rollover is only five times which is a superior offer than XBet.

  • Plus: Best options for betting
  • Minus: Odds and lines can be a bit better

9. EveryGame

image of offshore nhl betting site everygame

EveryGame Sportsbook has established itself as a reputable platform for online betting, particularly for NHL enthusiasts. With a history dating back to 1996, it holds the distinction of being the first website to accept an online wager.

For those looking to engage in NHL betting, EveryGame offers a straightforward sign-up process, a variety of bonus options, and a user-friendly interface for placing bets on NHL games. The platform supports a range of payment methods, including credit cards and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, catering to a diverse set of preferences. EveryGame is also known for its competitive odds and live betting options, providing an immersive and dynamic betting experience for hockey fans.

The bonuses are modest. The sign-up promotion is $200 or 50% of the initial deposit. Right now, they don’t have any specific promos for NHL betting.

  • Plus: Best selection of props and futures
  • Minus: Terribly low bonuses

NHL Betting Guide

Betting on NHL games has never been easier, but it is important to understand the main options that will be presented to you when you access a sportsbook. There are three extremely popular wager types when it comes to game betting – moneyline, spread, and over/under.

Moneyline Betting

Moneyline betting in the NHL is the simplest to understand. You place a wager on a team to win a game, if they win the game you’ll win and make a profit.

The most important part of moneyline betting is identifying which team is the favorite (most likely to win). In betting odds, the favorite is identified by the (-) symbol next to the odds. For example, if a team has odds of -110 to win the game, you will need to wager $110 in order to return a profit of $100.

The underdog can be identified by the (+) symbol next to their odds. For example, if you bet on an underdog with odds of +200, then a successful $100 wager would return a profit of $200.

Point Spread (Puck Line)

The point spread in NHL can also be known as the puck line, and it’s a handicap that the sportsbook places on the favorite. The idea of the puck line/spread is the sportsbook sets a line which is the number of goals by which the favorite is expected to win. This then creates a level playing field for the bettor and the odds for either team tend to be the same or very similar.

For example, if the Hurricanes were favored to win by 1.5 goals against the Islanders, then placing a spread wager on them means you need them to win the game AND win by 2 goals or more for your bet to be successful. If you were to select the underdog Islanders, then you will be successful if they win the game OR lose by 1 goal.

Over/Under Betting (Totals)

Over/Under betting in the NHL is also known as a totals bet, and it’s where you place a wager on the number of goals to be scored in a game. The sportsbook will set a line which is the number of goals they expect to be scored, you then pick over or under.

If the line is 5.5 goals and you select the “over” then you’ll win if there are 6 goals or more in the game, whereas picking the “under” requires there to be 5 goals or fewer.

Parlay Betting

An NHL parlay is where you combine multiple picks into the same bet. This will increase the overall odds, however, your wager will only be successful if every single selection is correct. For example, if you place a seven-team wager and six of the selections are correct, you will still lose.

Parlay betting is high risk, high reward. Moneyline, spread, and totals selections can all be combined into the same parlay.

Prop Bets

An NHL prop bet is where you place a wager on a certain event happening in the game, but it’s not usually tied to the overall outcome of the game. It’s becoming increasingly popular as bettors can use their specific knowledge of the game to win money. There are two types of props in NHL betting online – team and player:

A team prop is where you place a wager on a team achieving a certain outcome within a game. There are hundreds of markets available to you, but notable examples would be betting on the number of goals a team will score in a game, which period will have the most goals, and numerous other markets.

Player Props

NHL player props are where you place a wager based on the production of a certain player in the game. This could be anything from the number of goals a certain player will score to the number of saves a goalie will make in the game.

How to Place a Prop Bet

The process is similar to placing a moneyline, spread, or total bet. If you refer to our list of the best NHL betting sites, all of the sportsbooks listed offer prop betting options. Once you’ve signed up and funded your account, you can simply look through their prop section and find an outcome that you like. You’re also able to combine prop selections into a parlay bet to increase your overall odds.
