Betting apps ranked by odds value
We prioritize two numbers when ranking US apps: best-price share (how often the app posts the top price across a sampled set of markets) and average margin (the built-in hold across those markets). Lower margin and higher best-price share both improve expected return.
- DraftKings — best-price share 54.0%, avg margin 4.25% (1,068 markets). Highest price share in the sample and among the tightest margins.
- Fanatics Sportsbook — best-price share 41.8%, avg margin 4.25% (466 markets). Lower sample size, but competitive on both price and margin.
- Caesars Sportsbook — best-price share 36.2%, avg margin 5.27% (906 markets).
- FanDuel — best-price share 36.1%, avg margin 4.46% (596 markets).
- BetRivers — best-price share 28.3%, avg margin 6.35% (480 markets). Widest margin in the set.
- BetMGM — best-price share 19.9%, avg margin 5.21% (438 markets). Lowest price share of the sampled apps.
bet365, ESPN BET and Hard Rock Bet are not yet in the sampled odds dataset, so they are ranked below on app rating and coverage rather than measured price. See live prices on our [betting odds United States](/en-us/odds/) page and current line movement under [market movers](/en-us/market-movers/).
App scores: bet365 and FanDuel lead
App ratings capture build quality, live handling and feature depth as scored in our data set, separate from odds value.
- bet365 — 9.3 app, 9.4 live capability, 9.6 market coverage. Highest market coverage in the group and the only listed app with Live Streaming plus Bet Builder.
- FanDuel — 9.3 app, 8.9 live capability, 8.9 same game parlay.
- DraftKings — 9.2 app, 8.8 live capability. Pairs the strongest odds value with a top-tier app score.
- BetMGM — 8.8 app, 8.5 live capability.
- Fanatics Sportsbook — 8.7 app.
- ESPN BET — 8.6 app.
- Caesars Sportsbook / Hard Rock Bet — 8.5 app.
- BetRivers — 8.2 app, but the highest withdrawal rating (8.6) of the group.
If your priority is price on NFL, NBA and MLB markets, the odds ranking above matters more than the app score. If you weight live handling and streaming, bet365's coverage and live capability scores are the highest listed.
Live betting, same game parlay and cash out
Feature support is nearly universal across US apps but not identical.
- [Live Betting](/en-us/betting-sites/live-betting/): all nine apps.
- [Same Game Parlay](/en-us/betting-sites/same-game-parlay/): DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers, ESPN BET, Fanatics and Hard Rock. bet365 lists Bet Builder as its combined-market product.
- [Cash Out](/en-us/betting-sites/cash-out/): bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars and ESPN BET.
- [Live Streaming](/en-us/betting-sites/live-streaming/): bet365, DraftKings and FanDuel.
- [Fast Payout](/en-us/betting-sites/fast-payout/): DraftKings, FanDuel, BetRivers, Fanatics and Hard Rock.
bet365 is the only listed app combining Bet Builder, Cash Out and Live Streaming. DraftKings and FanDuel are the only apps that carry Same Game Parlay, Cash Out, Fast Payout and Live Streaming together.
Payments and withdrawal times
Every app in this list holds a $10 minimum deposit and a stated 0–24h withdrawal window. Payment rails differ:
- [PayPal](/en-us/betting-sites/paypal/) — supported by all nine apps.
- [Venmo](/en-us/betting-sites/venmo/) — bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN BET, Fanatics, Hard Rock.
- [Online Banking](/en-us/betting-sites/online-banking/) — all nine.
- [Visa](/en-us/betting-sites/visa/) — bet365, FanDuel.
- [Play+](/en-us/betting-sites/play-plus/) — DraftKings, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers.
BetRivers carries the highest withdrawal rating (8.6) despite ranking lower on price. bet365 and DraftKings sit at 8.9 and 8.5 respectively. Withdrawal timing depends on the payout method and your state's verification requirements; the 0–24h figure is the stated processing window, not a guarantee for every method.
State licensing: check your state, not the country
US sports betting is regulated state by state. An operator licensed in New Jersey by the DGE is not automatically legal in another state — availability, the minimum age (21 in regulated states) and market rules depend on your state regulator (NJ DGE, NYSGC, PGCB, MGCB and others).
All nine apps here are licensed by state regulators where they operate, and all score 8.9–9.5 on licence safety in our data (bet365 highest at 9.5; DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM and Caesars at 9.2–9.3). Before downloading, confirm the app is live in your state — regulated markets currently include New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, Ohio, Illinois, Arizona, Virginia and Massachusetts, among others. See [legal betting sites United States](/en-us/legal-betting-sites/) for the state breakdown.
Which app to pick by priority
- Best measured price: DraftKings (54.0% best-price share, 4.25% margin).
- Tight margin with high price share: Fanatics (41.8% share, 4.25% margin) — smaller sample.
- Highest market coverage and live/streaming depth: bet365 (9.6 coverage, 9.4 live).
- App score plus streaming: FanDuel (9.3 app, Same Game Parlay, Live Streaming).
- Fastest-rated payouts of the group: BetRivers (8.6 withdrawals).
Price share is sample-dependent — an app with fewer sampled markets (Fanatics, FanDuel, BetMGM) has a noisier figure than DraftKings' 1,068-market sample. For depth by sport, compare [American Football betting sites](/en-us/betting-sites/football/), [Basketball betting sites](/en-us/betting-sites/basketball/) and [Baseball betting sites](/en-us/betting-sites/baseball/), or read individual [bet365 review](/en-us/bookmakers/bet365/) and [DraftKings review](/en-us/bookmakers/draftkings/) pages.
How we rank
Our United States ranking is computed, not negotiated. We sample live odds continuously across every tracked bookmaker and measure three things per operator: how often it holds the best available price, its average margin on core markets, and how many markets it actually prices per event. Those measurements drive the largest share of the score; licence status, payment coverage and payout latency fill in the rest. Commercial deals never move a position. This page re-weights the same checklist for Betting apps: operators that miss the payment method or the sport coverage drop out, and the remaining scores emphasise the intersection — not a copy of the parent ranking.
US sports betting is regulated state by state. An operator licensed in New Jersey is not automatically legal in another state — availability, minimum age and rules depend on your state regulator.
