Happy 25th Birthday Covers!

How We Got Here

Back in 1995, we had a big problem: there were no trusted online sports betting sources. We know that doing research matters with sports bettors so that’s why we founded Covers. We’ve been trailblazing ever since. We also know that sports betting isn’t just about making money (although we love it when that happens!) – it’s about the experience. It’s about earning bragging rights. It’s about community.

We’ve spent the last 25 years providing original content geared to sports bettors with a huge selection of indispensable stats, insightful articles and videos, a vibrant forum community, fun-to-play free contests, and professional advice, all with one goal: to help YOU become your own betting expert.

Celebrate 25 years with us!
