Where does DawBets get its odds data?

DawBets licenses real-time odds data from OddsBlaze, a professional sports data provider covering 20+ US-licensed sportsbooks. Data includes moneylines, spreads, totals, player props, futures, and same-game parlay pricing.

How often is odds data updated?

Odds are refreshed continuously throughout the day as books publish line changes. DawBets also runs staleness detection that flags any bet where the underlying market may have moved before the user can act on it.

Where does state legality data come from?

State sports betting legality, launch dates, regulatory bodies, tax rates, and restrictions are sourced from each state's gaming commission directly, supplemented by the American Gaming Association and Legal Sports Report for cross-validation.

Where does sports betting tax information come from?

Federal tax information is sourced from IRS publications (Publication 525, Form W-2G instructions, Schedule A). State tax rates are sourced from each state's revenue department. Tax guidance is informational, not legal advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.

How are sportsbook logos and metadata sourced?

Sportsbook logos and brand assets are sourced from each operator's official press kit or brand resources page. Hosting is via Cloudinary for consistent delivery and image optimization.
