Why these four dominate

DraftKings and FanDuel each control roughly 30 percent of the US market. BetMGM is a firm third at 15 percent through the MGM Rewards tie-in. Caesars sits around 10 percent, with the strongest rewards program of the four. Every other operator combined is under 15 percent share.

All four books offer NHL and NCAA hockey wagering in every legal state where they operate. The difference between them is price. DraftKings prices the sharpest same-game parlays. FanDuel offers the deepest boost calendar on the Northeast teams (Bruins, Rangers, Devils). BetMGM has the best NHL parlay insurance. Caesars gives back the most in reward-program credit.
