sportsbook

Wager-taking establishment

A sportsbook is an establishment or business that accepts bets on sporting events—traditionally a physical location in a casino, now often an online platform.

The sportsbook sets odds, takes wagers, and pays out winnings: I placed a hundred on the underdog through an online sportsbook.

Also called a bookmaker or bookie.
