How Play+ Works


  1. Sign up for a Play+ card. Open the cashier in your sportsbook app and select Play+. You\'ll be redirected to Sightline\'s registration page to enroll. Approval is typically instant.
  2. Load funds onto your Play+. Use ACH bank transfer (free, 1-3 days) or debit card (instant, sometimes a small fee). Funds become available immediately for deposits to your sportsbook.
  3. Deposit to your sportsbook. One tap to move Play+ balance to your sportsbook. No fees, instant.
  4. Withdraw winnings back to Play+. Most Ohio sportsbooks process Play+ withdrawals same-day or within 24 hours.
  5. Use Play+ anywhere Discover is accepted. Your Play+ card can be used as a normal Discover card at retailers and ATMs, or you can transfer the balance back to your bank.
