It doesn’t matter if you are from the United States or not, there are many reasons why you’d want to bet on this classic American game. Thanks to high media coverage and readily available statistics, you have all the information you need to place a well-informed bet. Then, as there are 256 regular season games and countless wagers you can make, your National Football League betting opportunities abound. In case you’ve followed the game since you were little, but are new to the world of betting, here are some of the best betting apps for the NFL.
What to look for in apps
As football has been the most popular sport in North America for years now, it’s only normal that there is a wide array of betting apps. If it’s your first time placing a bet, you might not know what to look for when choosing the best app.
For starters, you want to find an app that offers a variety of betting options. With that in mind, see whether it has prop bets in addition to the standard wagers. Then, you want to make sure the app updates the odds quickly so that you don’t miss out on a golden opportunity. Moreover, check whether it offers live betting and allows you to make bets during the game. Finally, many apps include bonuses and promotions, which is something else you want to keep an eye on to make the most of your bets.
Now, here are some of the best apps that you want to consider.
Bet365
One of the best and most popular apps on the betting market worldwide, Bet365 was the 16th online sports book to launch in the USA, with its biggest presence in New Jersey. It came online in 2019 when it became one of three sportsbooks to operate out of Hard Rock Casino, NJ.
When it comes to the app it offers and its structure, Bet365 is ‘menu heavy’ meaning that, as a user, you can navigate to the specific markets you are looking for. To make it simpler – rather than the app showing you suggestions of things you may not even be interested in, you can use the navigation to find exactly what you are looking for.
And when it comes to bonuses and promotions, Bet365 is really impressive. It can have even around 12 separate promotions running, and besides the $500 Bet Credit Welcome Bonus, you are in for many other promotions and odds enhancements. A great way to improve your winnings.
William Hill
Online since 2012, you can also opt for William Hill – one of the sports betting most recognizable names. And what is great news about this operator is that it is also available in several US states, including New Jersey, Nevada, Florida, and New York.
Doing some research about William Hill will tell you that they offer a full range of betting on all kinds of sports. What is more, their betting app is clear and the navigation between bets is quite logical.
And when it comes to the betting bonuses and promotions, among the other great options, the first thing that catches the eye is the Bet $50, Get $50 Sign-Up Bonus William Hill gives you upon registration. And while deals and bonuses change frequently, you can always find something that will make your betting experience sweeter.
DraftKings
Offering apps for both Android and iOS, DraftKings Sportsbook is also available in several states in the US, including Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.
The app is very responsive, fast, and easy to navigate. However, despite a wide range of US and international sports, the app does lack variety while their pricing and customer support could be improved.
What is particularly special about DraftKings is their Sign-Up Bonus that can go all the way up to $1000. This means that whatever your first bet is, the app will give you the same amount of money for free (if you bet $100, you will get free $100 to bet on anything you want).
FanDuel
FanDuel, acquired by Paddy Power Betfair in 2018, was long known as the biggest provider of daily fantasy sports contests in the US, but it has also expanded into providing users with real money sports bets.
If you are not into DFS, you’ll be glad to hear that FanDuel offers a separate app for sportsbooks so that you can easily place your bets regardless of whether you are operating on iOS or Android. The apps offer a top-notch user experience and a great range of betting options.
PointsBet
After launching in 2017 in Australia, PointsBet Sportsbook has set its sights on the United States as well and is available in New Jersey, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana, and should be live in Colorado soon too.
As PointsBet has its own team of software developers and risk-management, their app layout and feel, as well as the odds and pricing, are quite unique to other sportsbooks. If you’re looking for something a bit different, this might be the app for you, especially as the customer service and bonus offers are excellent.
If you’re looking to place some NFL bets, you have an exceptional range of apps at your disposal, regardless of where you are located. Do some research to make sure the payment options, bonuses, and customer service meet your needs and start betting.
