It’s been a long road for Tennessee, but the curtain finally lifted on legal sports betting on the 1st of November 2020. With three sportsbooks already live and a handful of others potentially launching before too long, it’s exciting times in the Volunteer State.
One happy side effect of the arrival of legal sportsbooks is plenty of sports betting bonuses designed to encourage users to sign up – and get some extra value or boosted payouts along the way.

Online sports betting bonuses are marketing tools that sports betting sites use to attract potential sports bettors to use their platforms. Does this mean we shouldn’t trust them or avoid them? Absolutely not. Sports betting bonuses are beneficial for everyone. The bookmakers get new players, and we get to save some money, or the chance to win even more than we expected. As long as you fully understand the terms and conditions to avoid nasty surprises (more on that later), sports wagering bonuses are great.
If you can legally place a bet in the state of Tennessee, then you can legally claim a betting bonus. Tennessee’s sports betting bill allows you to gamble as long as you are at least 21 years old and physically located within state lines. And that includes mobile betting using an iOS device like an iPhone or an Android phone.
Different sportsbooks have different rules regarding claiming bonuses. Often, you’ll need to use a bonus code or promo code that you type in during the registration process, or sometimes afterward in the cashier. Sometimes, you don’t even need to opt-in and your bonus will be credited to your account automatically, just for signing up. You can generally claim your bonuses both on the desktop or mobile versions of the site. Tennessee allows betting using your mobile device, so you can still find all your favorite bonus offers on sportsbetting apps.
There are all kinds of bonuses out there. Below, we’ve listed some of the most common promotions you’re likely to run into. To get a full explanation of each one, head to our dedicated bonuses page. Some types of bonuses are also more useful than others depending on which sport you want to bet on, and some are even designed especially for specific sports. Tennessee’s sports betting laws are particularly lenient so that as well as professional sports you can use your bonuses to bet on college sports like college football, college basketball, or other NCAA events. Whether placing money lines, point spreads, totals, or prop bets of any size, there will be a promotion out there for you.

If you come away from this page with only one clear idea about online sportsbook bonuses, let it be this: terms and conditions are incredibly important. They are consistently the difference between a truly valuable bonus and one which is just a good headline. Before claiming a bonus, you should always read the small print. Understand exactly how the bonus works, what you have to do to get the most out of it, and what pitfalls you could fall into without realizing it. Below are some of the most important concepts to look out for. More info about each is available in our full guide: Rollover Requirements or Wagering Requirements Minimum Odds Maximum Bet Size Restricted Markets Expiry Date
Tennessee online sports betting went live in November 2020 after it was signed into existence by Rep. Bill Lee, and the four sites mentioned above wasted no time in launching in the Volunteer State. Along with a desktop site and sportsbook app, each has landed fully loaded with a selection of valuable bonuses and promos.
Simply put, the current sports betting situation in Tennessee is looking good, and the future is very exciting. Whether you want to bet on the Tennessee Titans, Memphis Grizzlies, or the Nashville Predators, it’s never been easier in TN than right now.
We expect to see more sportsbooks from around the United States to enter the TN sports betting industry in the very near future.
More sports betting operators means more ways to place bets on your favorite sports teams, more mobile sports betting platforms, and best of all – more sports betting bonuses.
