ClutchBet Sportsbook Review

Struggling with Gambling Addiction? Support is Available.

If you or someone you know is battling gambling addiction, contact the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) or Gamblers Anonymous. For immediate support call 1-800-GAMBLER.

ClutchBet is a relatively new player in the American sports betting market that first arrived in the country in 2022. It is a subsidiary of BlueBet, an established Australian betting company which was founded back in 2015.

ClutchBet is primarily known as an online wagering option for consumers, but it also has partnerships with brick-and-mortar establishments such as the Q Casino in Dubuque, Iowa and the Wild Card Saloon and Casino in Black Hawk, Colorado.

Since arriving in America, ClutchBet has expanded its availability to three legal gambling states.

ClutchBet's welcome bonus provides users with bonus bets for five consecutive weeks, totaling the user's first bet — so long as it's no more than $250 and no less than $10. The minimum odds on the wager is -200.

Here's an example of how it would play out for a new user trying to earn the maximum total if they started an account on January 1:

• Jan 1: Customer makes a single $250 bet and instantly receives a $50 bonus bet
• Jan 8: Customer receives $50 bonus bet
• Jan 15: Customer receives $50 bonus bet
• Jan 22: Customer receives $50 bonus bet
• Jan 29: Customer receives $50 bonus bet

The bonus new users receives each week is worth 20% of the initial bet and they receive the entire value in just under one month.

While ClutchBet's welcome offer provides plenty of value for new customers, daily users have access to a variety of promotions. To give a sense of the sportsbook's offerings, here is a summary of the Clutchbet promo menu one a single day in the review process:

• Daily Odds Boosts, referred to as 'ClutchPicks'
• NHL Finals Same-Game Parlay Profit Boost
• 'Summer Soccer Challenge' contest for Euro and Copa America bets
• NHL First Goalscorer Insurance
• Same-Game Parlay Boost referred to as 'C Boost'

That example comes from a time in June when major sports leagues like the NBA and NFL were both dormant. It's clear that Clutch Bet has promotional markets that are competitive with, if not superior to, other Colorado sportsbooks.

ClutchBet is available in three of the 38 states with legalized sports betting. 

It first arrived in Iowa in 2022 and moved into Colorado in 2023 and Louisiana in 2024.

ClutchBet has a crisp blue-and-white aesthetic that makes everything visually legible and enhances navigation.

Like many other online sportsbooks, it has a carousel of promotions that runs at the top of the screen, but the quantity of those promotions is larger than most of its competitors. The next thing users will see is available markets on games that are live, upcoming, and popular, which makes it easier to place bets on the events bettors are most likely to be interested in at any given moment.

ClutchBet doesn't have unique features that set it completely apart from the other big sportsbooks, but its user experience is an intuitive one that makes sense to experienced bettors and novices alike.

Getting an account with the ClutchBet sportsbook is a simple process after you've hit the 'sign-up' button. You have to progress through three pages to get started:

1. On the first page you'll be asked for your state, email and phone number — and to create a username and password.
2. Page Two asks for your gender, name, date of birth and address.
3. The final page requires you enter the last four digits of your SIN number, asks you to agree to terms and conditions, and offers you a chance to enter a Clutchbet promo code.

Once you've progressed through those pages your new account is set up and you're ready to make your first deposit and begin to place bets.

The ClutchBet app does its best to emulate the user experience on the Clutchbet website, and generally does a good job of it.

Both Apple and Android users should be able to find the markets they are looking for and place traditional wagers or same-game parlays on their favorite sports without issue. These apps also put live-betting options front and center for customers who prefer in-game wagering.

Much like the desktop experience, it's also easy to find ClutchBet promos at the top of the screen.

You can find the ClutchBet iOS App on the AppStore.

You can find the ClutchBet Android App on Google Play.

ClutchBet aims to cater to any sports fan interested in online sports betting, offering a comprehensive range of betting options,

Similar to other online sportsbooks, ClutchBet allows customers to place wagers on individual games, prop bets, and live events.

Below is a summary of the betting options available at ClutchBet:

ClutchBet's odds can be easily found on the landing page of the sportsbook or app.

Whenever evaluating the quality of a sportsbook's lines, you should compare the available odds to other sportsbooks. The current industry standard for vig — or the house's edge — ranges between 3.66% and 4.61% depending on the bet type.

We found ClutchBet to feature lines with vig in the low end of that range. It was typical to see live odds with a vig in the 3.9% to 4.3% range. The occasional line crept above 5%, but that was unusual.

Here are some examples of ClutchBet's lines compared to some other books you can place a sports bet with:

One of the things new customers of any sportsbook should consider before signing up are the banking options available to them. 

Below is a breakdown of the payments and withdrawal methods available to ClutchBet Sportsbook customers:

Name	Deposit			Withdraw
	Time	Min	Fee	Time	Max	Fee
VIP Preferred	0-1 day	$5	0%	1-5 days	$100000	2%
ACH/eCHECK	0-1 day	$10	0%	N/A	N/A	N/A
PayPal	0-3 days	$10	1.9%	2-7 days	$60000	1.9%
Skrill	0-1 day	$10	1%	2-5 days	$20000	3.49%

Whether they are engaging with this sportsbook on the ClutchBet app or website, users can find help with a variety of issues via a live chat, email, or phone.

In our evaluation of ClutchBet customer support, we learned the following:

• Speed and Effectiveness: ClutchBet was inconsistent in the time it took to respond. We had cases where we were able to chat instantly and others where we received an email that said we were in live but had a substantial wait. When we were in conversation with agents they tended to be professional and effective.
• Live Chat: Live chat is the easiest way to quickly begin a dialogue with ClutchBet, even if it is less reliable than some of its competitors. It is available from 8 am to 11 pm MT. The sportsbook recommends emailing for any issues that arise outside those hours.
• Agent Interaction: To get a better sense of how ClutchBet's customer support functions, we conducted a ‘day in the life’ test, initiating live chats during four different hours. Each hour slot received five separate chat messages from us.

Here’s a snapshot of our findings:

• Social media: ClutchBet has several social media channels, but they send out general-interest sports content and there's no indication they perform a support function. Considering users have the option of contacting ClutchBet via live chat, email and phone using social media to do so should be considered a last resort. Twitter | Facebook | Instagram

ClutchBet features a relatively comprehensive responsible gambling section on its website that includes direction to resources for bettors as well as their friends and family.

Below is a summary of some of the responsible gambling tools on offer:

ClutchBet sportsbook is licensed for sports betting activities in three states, and has the commensurate security features that status demands.

Here's a rundown of ClutchBet's key security features:

ClutchBet is not one of the biggest sportsbooks in the US and they are not doing a lot of unique offerings outside of the norm. 

In some cases when sportsbooks offer a rich assortment of promotions it is a tactic to cover up other weaknesses, but ClutchBet's offering is relatively straightforward across the board.

This sportsbook is available in a limited number of states, and the inconsistency of its customer support is notable. There are also sportsbooks that offer more deposit methods and withdrawal methods than ClutchBet. Bettors who prioritize niche sports may also be disappointed in Clutchbet's breadth of offerings.

Despite those limitations, those who sign up for ClutchBet will find a smooth user experience and competitive odds for their wagers and plentiful promo offers.
