Best Figure Skating Betting Sites in USA

Figure skating is a niche but high-visibility betting category in the United States—most books open sizable markets around the Winter Olympics, ISU World Championships and other major international events, then scale back between marquee competitions. This guide compares U.S.-accessible sportsbooks that have verifiably offered figure skating or Olympic skating markets and explains the regulatory, state‑by‑state and product considerations you need to pick the right site for judged‑sport wagering.

How we chose and ranked these sportsbooks

We limited this list to operators with verifiable U.S. licensing or publicly documented state footprints and with evidence that they offer figure skating / Winter Olympic markets during major competitions. To create this comparison we checked operator resources (official blogs/odds pages and regulatory filings), the sportsbooks’ sports catalogs where available, and authoritative coverage of Olympic betting markets. We prioritized:

• Verified legal access in U.S. jurisdictions via operator filings or regulator pages.
• Direct evidence of figure‑skating or Winter Olympics markets (operator odds pages, editorial previews or dedicated sport categories).
• Market depth during major events (outrights, medal markets, props) and editorial coverage that helps handicapping.
• Practical availability for U.S. customers (state footprints, retail + mobile access where relevant).

Sources used for verification include operator blog/odds pages (DraftKings Network), operator sport pages (BetMGM figure skating category), U.S. regulatory filings and state regulator guidance—these appear in full in the Sources section below. Where an operator’s sport page shows “no events available” outside competition windows, we list them but note that figure skating markets are event‑dependent.

Regulation and state availability — important rules for figure skating bets

United States sports betting is regulated by the states. Each operator can accept wagers only in states where it holds a license (or a regulated partner skin). That means availability, accepted bet types and even whether judged events are permitted all vary by state.

Two regulatory points matter for figure skating bettors:

1. Judged events may be restricted or prohibited in some states. For example, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission explicitly prohibits wagering on events whose final outcome is primarily based on evaluation by judges or a panel (this includes ISU figure skating and other judged Olympic events) unless the Commission approves them. Bettors inside jurisdictions with similar rules will not be able to place typical figure‑skating markets there. See the Massachusetts Gaming Commission sports wagering guidance for details.
2. State access and age limits differ. Many states require bettors to be 21 and physically present in state lines to wager; others allow 18+. Always confirm an operator’s state list and local age rule before attempting to place a wager.

Practical takeaway: before registering, confirm your intended sportsbook is licensed in your state and that your state allows the exact type of judged‑sport wager you want to place. Operator “Where we operate” or state license pages and state regulator catalogs are the definitive sources.

What figure skating markets you can expect

Market availability depends heavily on the calendar. The busiest windows are:

• Winter Olympic Games (every four years) — the largest, deepest set of figure‑skating markets (outrights, medal markets, event winners, and props).
• ISU World Figure Skating Championships (annual) — many books open outrights and select props.
• ISU Grand Prix / Grand Prix Final and Four Continents / European Championships — limited outrights and occasional props at bigger books.

Typical bet types at major events (when offered): outrights (event winner), podium/medal markets (top 3), head‑to‑head matchups, and a variety of props tied to the short/free program scoring or technical elements. Coverage narrows substantially outside those marquee events—some operators will show a dedicated “Figure Skating” sport with no events listed until a championship or Olympic period begins.

Operator notes — what sets each bookmaker apart for figure skating fans

DraftKings

DraftKings ran comprehensive Winter Olympics figure skating coverage in 2026, publishing opening odds, event previews and day‑by‑day betting articles on DraftKings Network. Their sportsbook historically lists Olympics and ISU event markets when those competitions are active. DraftKings’ documented state list and filings also show a broad U.S. footprint; availability and exact markets will be state‑dependent, but DraftKings is a reliable place to look for medal markets and editorial content around major figure‑skating events. See DraftKings’ event previews for examples of market publication during the Games.

FanDuel

FanDuel routinely offers Olympic markets via its sportsbook and maintains Olympics‑specific rules in its house rules. FanDuel’s product often emphasizes a large prop menu at marquee events and newer prediction/contract products (FanDuel Predicts) where legal. Like other major U.S. operators, FanDuel’s figure‑skating markets are event‑driven—strong coverage during Olympics/Worlds, more limited otherwise.

BetMGM

BetMGM maintains a dedicated figure skating sport page in its menu (the sport category is visible even when events are not live) and has historically provided Olympics and World Championship markets. BetMGM’s national footprint and partnership network mean it commonly lists medal/outright markets at major events; the sportsbook’s site shows a figure‑skating category but sometimes “no events available” outside peak competition windows, which is normal for judged sports.

Caesars Sportsbook

Caesars is a widely licensed operator in U.S. states and traditionally opens Olympic figure‑skating markets where state rules permit. Caesars also combines retail and online operations and may be a practical option for bettors who prefer in‑person account funding or account pickup at casino cages in states where Caesars is licensed.

PointsBet

PointsBet has offered Olympic markets in past Games and publishes Olympics rules for settlement. Coverage tends to include outrights and props during the Games and selected major events. PointsBet’s distinctive risk‑based product lineup (e.g., PointsBetting) is generally not applicable to judged events, but their standard market menu and prop depth at marquee events make them a contender for Olympic figure skating wagering where they are licensed.

BetRivers (Rush Street Interactive)

BetRivers operates regionally under the BetRivers / PlaySugarHouse brands and runs Olympic/major event markets in its licensed states. During big competitions BetRivers has offered medal/parlay options and outrights. For bettors in BetRivers’ state footprint, the site is a pragmatic choice for local market access and standard Olympic betting menus.

Key differences and selection checklist

When choosing a figure‑skating sportsbook, compare:

• State licensing and whether judged events are permitted in your state (confirm with your state regulator).
• Market depth at major events (outrights, medals, props). DraftKings and BetMGM routinely publish broader menus at Olympics; FanDuel and Caesars often match on props.
• Editorial content and event previews — useful for handicapping. DraftKings Network and other operator blogs publish previews that can help with context.
• Account funding/withdrawal options and minimums in your state (these are operator‑ and state‑specific and must be checked on the operator’s site).
• Responsible‑gambling tools: deposit limits, self‑exclusion and account controls.

Methodology: verification and limitations

This ranking is research‑driven and limited to operators that met two minimum criteria: (1) documented legal access / licensing in U.S. jurisdictions (operator filings, state lists), and (2) evidence the operator offers or has offered figure skating or Winter Olympic markets (operator odds pages or editorial previews). We checked operator pages and public filings for state footprints and consulted regulator guidance (notably the Massachusetts Gaming Commission) to confirm where judged events may be restricted.

Limitations and cautionary notes:

• Figure skating markets are highly event‑dependent. Outside the Olympics and ISU Worlds, availability narrows—some sportsbook
