Caesars Sportsbook, backed by the legacy of one of the most recognizable casino brands in the world, operates as a fully regulated sportsbook across dozens of U.S. states. Its digital platform emerged from the acquisition of William Hill's U.S. operations, giving it both established infrastructure and deep roots in the sports betting industry. Caesars holds licenses in virtually every major legal U.S. market, and its regulatory standing is unquestioned. However, it leans decidedly toward the recreational end of the spectrum — sharp bettors will find limits imposed relatively quickly on consistently winning accounts, a common practice among the large U.S.-regulated operators.
Where Caesars excels is in its promotions and loyalty ecosystem. The Caesars Rewards program ties sports betting activity directly to hotel, dining, and entertainment perks across its vast network of physical properties, creating genuine value that competitors without a brick-and-mortar footprint simply cannot match. Its market coverage is solid, offering lines on major U.S. sports as well as international soccer, tennis, and combat sports. On the downside, its odds are rarely the sharpest in the market. Bettors who line-shop consistently will notice Caesars offering slightly less favorable prices compared to books like DraftKings or FanDuel on the same events, and its app experience, while improved significantly since its 2021 relaunch, can still feel sluggish compared to the most polished competitors.
Caesars is best suited for casual to moderate bettors who value the full casino-resort experience and want their wagering activity to contribute to a broader rewards program. For bettors focused purely on finding the best number, it should be one of several books in a comparison workflow rather than a primary destination.

Averages are unweighted across all 11 sports each book prices. Books that post lines on many low-liquidity international leagues (e.g. BetMGM, Pinnacle) carry higher averages than their NFL/NBA pricing alone would suggest — compare per-sport rows for like-for-like.
Vig by Sport
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Caesars's average vig?
Caesars has an overall average vig of 5.43%, earning a grade of C+. They cover 11 sports.
Is Caesars Sportsbook the same as William Hill?
Yes — Caesars Entertainment acquired William Hill in 2021 and rebranded US operations as Caesars Sportsbook. Our data may show "Caesars" or "William Hill" depending on how the API reports the book. The odds and vig are the same entity.
How does Caesars vig compare to other regulated books?
Caesars typically has similar vig to DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM. They compete more on loyalty rewards (Caesars Rewards program) and retail sportsbook access than on odds quality. Sharp bettors will find better pricing at offshore books.
What is vig (vigorish) in sports betting?
Vig — short for vigorish, also called juice or overround — is the margin a sportsbook builds into its odds. It's the difference between the true probability of an outcome and what the odds imply. Lower vig means you keep more of your winnings on every bet. For example, a standard -110/-110 line has about 4.76% vig.
How often is this data updated?
We pull fresh odds from The Odds API every hour, on the hour (UTC). Each snapshot captures the latest lines from every sportsbook that has posted odds. The timestamp at the top of the page shows the most recent refresh.
How is the vig grade calculated?
Each sportsbook is graded on average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exchange-level pricing, A (2–3%) very competitive, B+ (3–4%) above average, B (4–5%) the industry standard, C+ (5–6%) slightly below average, C (6–7%) below average, D (7–8%) high vig, D− (8–10%) very high, F (10%+) predatory.
Why does lower vig matter for bettors?
Lower vig directly impacts your long-term returns. A bettor placing $1,000 per week at a book with 4% vig loses roughly $40/week to the house edge. At 2% vig, that drops to $20/week — a $1,040 difference over a year. For serious bettors, shopping for lower vig is one of the most reliable ways to improve profitability.
What sportsbooks do you track?
We track both regulated US sportsbooks (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars) and offshore books (Bovada, BetOnline, MyBookie, BetUS, LowVig.ag, BetAnything). Data comes from The Odds API, which aggregates real-time lines from licensed sources.
How We Calculate These Numbers
- Data Source
- All odds on this page come from The Odds API, which aggregates real-time lines from licensed US and offshore sportsbooks. We track moneyline, spread, and totals markets across every sport with active betting lines.
- Update Frequency
- We pull a fresh snapshot of every tracked market every hour, on the hour (UTC). Each snapshot captures the latest lines from every sportsbook that has posted odds for a given event. The timestamp at the top of each page tells you exactly when the data was last refreshed.
- Vig Calculation
- Vig (short for vigorish, also called juice or overround) measures the margin a sportsbook builds into its odds. We calculate it by converting the odds on each side of a market to implied probabilities, summing those probabilities, and subtracting 100%. For example, a market priced at -110/-110 implies 52.38% on each side — a total of 104.76%, meaning a vig of 4.76%. Lower vig means better value for bettors because you keep more of your winnings.
- Per-Market Breakdown
- We compute vig separately for each market type: moneyline (h2h), point spreads, and totals (over/under). The "average vig" shown for each sportsbook is the mean across all market types weighted by the number of events sampled in each market.
- Grading Scale
- Every sportsbook receives a letter grade based on its average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exchange-level pricing. A (2–3%) is very competitive. B+ (3–4%) is above average. B (4–5%) is the industry standard — a -110/-110 line is 4.76%. C+ (5–6%) is slightly below average. C (6–7%) is below average. D (7–8%) is high vig. D− (8–10%) is very high vig. F (10%+) is predatory pricing. See the full Vig Index Methodology for formulas, worked examples, and known limitations.
- Trend Tracking
- We store daily snapshots for 30 days, allowing us to show 24-hour and 7-day vig trends. A downward trend (improving) means sportsbooks are tightening their lines — often in response to increased competition or higher betting volume as a season heats up.
