The 2025 Saturn Awards will take place on Sunday, February 2nd. The award show will take place at Hilton Universal City and be hosted by Joel McHale for the third consecutive year.
The 52nd Saturn Awards will hand out honors to the best films in fantasy, horror, science fiction, and more from between October 2023 and October 31st, 2024. On this page we explain the options Americans have for betting on the Saturn Awards, look at the odds for one of the categories, and finish with a step by step guide.
Where Can Americans Bet On The Saturn Awards?
Betting on awards shows works differently than betting on sports, and smaller shows have fewer betting options. Here are the main ones.
Licensed Sportsbooks
A few states, such as New Jersey and Indiana, allow their licensed sportsbooks to offer odds on major awards shows, but markets on the Saturn Awards are generally not available at licensed sportsbooks.
Prediction Markets
Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket list contracts on some awards shows, but coverage of smaller ceremonies varies from year to year. These platforms operate under federal oversight from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rather than state gambling law.
Offshore Sportsbooks
Offshore sportsbooks are where Saturn Awards markets are most widely offered. They are not licensed or regulated by any US state, which means Americans who use them have no state regulator to turn to if there is a dispute over a bet or a withdrawal.
2025 Saturn Awards Odds
There are a wide variety of categories for the Saturn Awards. Betting markets are typically available for the most high profile categories: Best Fantasy Film, Best Horror Film, Best Science Fiction Film, and Best Thriller Film.
Here is a screenshot of the Best Thriller Film odds to use as an example (odds accurate as of January 22nd):
In this category, Saltburn, is the favorite with odds of -120, while Wolfs is the other top contender with odds of +150.
How To Bet On The Saturn Awards from the USA – Step By Step
Whichever option you choose, the process of getting started is similar. Here’s a general guide.
Step 1. Choose Your Option
Decide which type of platform fits how you want to bet. Check which platforms actually offer Saturn Awards markets, since licensed sportsbooks generally do not. Review the options above before signing up.
Step 2. Check The Age and Location Rules
Every platform has its own eligibility requirements. Most prediction markets require you to be at least 18, while licensed sportsbooks require you to be 21 in most states.
Step 3. Create and Verify Your Account
Sign up with your legal name, date of birth and address. Regulated platforms are required to verify your identity, so you may be asked for the last four digits of your Social Security number or a photo of your ID.
Step 4. Fund Your Account
Deposit using one of the platform’s payment methods, which commonly include debit cards and bank transfers. Check how withdrawals work, and how long they take, before you deposit.
Step 5. Find The Market and Place Your Bet
Navigate to the entertainment or awards section, select the market you’re interested in, and choose your position. Before confirming, check the price or odds and how much you stand to win.
Step 6. Set Limits
Decide on a budget before the ceremony and stick to it. Most regulated platforms let you set deposit and time limits in your account settings. If betting stops being fun, help is available 24/7 by calling 1-800-GAMBLER.
