Best Sports Betting Apps in the US Reviewed for August 2025

"BetMGM stands out with its deep menu of betting options, from niche international sports to creative prop bets you won’t find elsewhere, all wrapped in a sleek, easy-to-navigate interface."

"BetMGM lags behind its counterparts when it comes to payout speed, as the standard amount of time tends to be more than a day. Some of its counterparts process withdrawals nearly instantly, so this is a pretty large gap they need to close."

"BetMGM is extremely consistent with daily promotions. For certain sports, they offer more boosts than other operators and will have promos for games that you won't find anywhere else."

"BetMGM has good player prop prices that are competitive. They have numbers that I want, though they won't offer certain markets. They can also be a little sluggish in terms of getting lines up quickly."

"BetMGM’s live betting sits near the top of the pack, with smooth odds updates, quick bet acceptance, and a wide variety of in-play markets. It’s especially strong during major events, where the coverage and prop variety outshine most competitors."

"Building a same-game parlay on BetMGM feels like playing with a well-stocked toolbox. I’ve got props, alternate lines, and game outcomes, with the ability tweak alternate spreads and totals down to the half-point. Their “Edit my bet” feature has saved me more than once when I’ve had second thoughts before game time."

"The DraftKings interface is incredibly easy to use, and markets are simple to locate. There is an avalanche of betting options and DK is usually the first to market for upcoming events."

"I find withdrawing very quick on DraftKings, and I often receive my cash within an hour. However, when it comes to cashing out bets, DraftKings won't give you a full refund and takes an immediate 10%."

"DraftKings has creative promos like 'King of the Court' that offer massive potential paydays. I like battling other players by tapping into players that I perceive to be undervalued."

"DK seems to be the top option for odds. They'll get lines up for prospective matchups and often post odds the same as the conclusion of another event. They're neck and neck with FanDuel in this regard."

"DK is firing on all cylinders when it comes to live betting. On an eight-game NBA night, you'll see numbers and markets constantly updating."

"With DraftKings, you still have to toggle on SGPs, which is cumbersome. While other operators let you build same-game parlays naturally, this is one area that DK could look to improve."

"The bet365 mobile app is great and I use it all the time. I like the wide variety of markets, specifically UFC spreads and method of win, as well as CFL or rugby player props. The navigation is elite, and they're quick with odds."

"bet365 is extremely fast when it comes to withdrawing. Once your preferred method is synced with your account, the money never takes more than 24 hours to land."

"I use 365 because there are plenty of odds boosts, a user-friendly interface, oodles of markets, and competitive, industry-best odds. It's everything that I look for in a reliable sportsbook."

"bet365 always has the best odds, which is evident when you see lines without a 0 or 5 at the end. It's also my go-to for niche sports like Turkish soccer, Taiwanese baseball, and Filipino basketball."

"bet365 is excellent for live betting. There are tons of player props available, and unique options you simply can't get pre-game. They'll also offer niche markets for live betting that I can't find with other sportsbooks."

"One under-the-radar feature I love about bet365 is the ability to automatically make SGPs. By simply clicking on bets, a same-game parlay is built. I also absolutely love being notified about the result of my parlay wagers when I win."

"Almost no other sports betting app can touch FanDuel when it comes to user experience. Navigation from section to section is intuitive and seamless, the design is pleasing but non-obtrusive, and everything — from the betting menu to the promos tab — is well organized."

"I have had few experiences where FanDuel didn't pay out my winnings within a day. In fact, I consistently receive my funds about an hour after hitting the 'Withdrawal' button. I'll give FanDuel high marks here, but this should honestly be industry-standard."

"I love that, regardless of whether you're betting during the height of sports season or the deadest weeks of summer, FanDuel always has multiple promotions running. Beyond a newbie-friendly sign-up bonus, you can access profit boosts, sport-specific deals, a quality referral offer, and more."

"In general, the odds at FanDuel are fine. They're competitive for most markets, below par for some, great for others. I'll often do my NBA Finals line shopping with FanDuel since, historically, the betting app tends to provide better options than its top competitors."

"FanDuel's in-play betting section is an area where the sportsbook app truly excels. It provides a genuine in-the-moment wagering experience due to odds reliably shifting in real-time, hundreds of markets to choose from, and accompanying live streams — no buffering! — for some of the most popular events."

"FanDuel's dedicated Parlay Hub is pretty straightforward. It's nice that you get the most popular parlays presented to you immediately in an easy-to-read format, and the option to edit suggestions for upcoming games is a subtle but useful touch."

"Using Fanatics Sportsbook feels like having a tailor-made betting hub, thanks to its seamless integration with the FanCash rewards system. Every wager earns credits I can use on real Fanatics gear. The interface is rapid, and I love that the odds refresh in real time without needing to refresh the page. What really sets it apart is how it blends sports betting with fandom — winning a parlay and then turning those rewards into my team’s jersey feels like the perfect full-circle experience."

"With Fanatics Sportsbook, my withdrawals have been some of the fastest I’ve experienced. Once I hit cash out, the funds usually land in my account within hours, without any unforeseen delays or extra verification steps. It’s generally a smooth, no-hassle process that makes it easy actually to enjoy my winnings."

"Fanatics might be the one book you want to check every day, as there are constant boosts — like Lightning Bets during the NFL season — that are very generous. FanCash is a nice loyalty program in which you'll receive a kickback of a small percentage of your bet. Fanatics incentivizes you to make wagers with longer odds since they result in a higher percentage of FanCash."

"I use pretty much every sportsbook app on the market and Fanatics' lines seem to be the most competitive. They don't shy away from certain markets, get markets up in a timely manner, and always have an odds boost to take advantage of."

"Live betting on Fanatics Sportsbook feels electric as the odds shift instantly, and I can lock in a play without any lag. The real-time stats and clean layout make it easy to read the game and pounce on opportunities before they disappear."

"Fanatics has parlay boosts that are generous. Pre-made SGPs are available for a wide array of betting markets."

"Caesars consistently opens widespread markets, and as an experienced sports bettor, that is an underrated feature. For example, as the WNBA became more mainstream, Caesars was always the first to offer lines. If you travel a lot, you may find the process of switching from state to state difficult with Caesars."

"Caesars requires a lot of clicks to get paid out, and I've had trouble withdrawing because of playthrough requirements that were tied to casino play. In general, it's not as seamless to get your money as with other books."

"Caesars Rewards — Covers' choice for the top sportsbook rewards program — keeps players engaged with valuable perks. Linked directly to Caesars Entertainment’s retail locations, points can be redeemed for bet credits, hotel stays, dining vouchers, exclusive experiences, and more. The program is tiered, so the more you wager, the faster you climb and the greater the rewards."

"Caesars is my first choice for spreads. They're good for main markets, and I've never been denied what I'm trying to wager on. Caesars added every number by the end of the last NBA season."<br>

"Caesars can be challenging at times when it comes to live betting, as the layout of markets is somewhat random. There's a general disorganization that makes me question the method behind the ordering."

"With Caesars, building a same-game parlay feels effortless. The Caesars app automatically suggests compatible legs as I add picks, so I’m never guessing what works together."
