Most major sportsbooks now have mobile apps, but the experience can be surprisingly different from one platform to another. Let's compare FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM based on odds, navigation, live betting features and the information available before a game.
A sportsbook app can look great in an advertisement and still be frustrating when you're trying to find something during a live game.
For me, the important question is how well the app works when there's actually something happening. Can you find the current score quickly? Are player statistics easy to access? Can you compare markets without jumping through several screens?
FanDuel and DraftKings have become familiar names among American sports fans. BetMGM is another major competitor. All three offer sports betting products in states where they're authorized, but the available features and markets can vary by location.
I'd pay particular attention to the odds display. A good app should make it easy to understand the price of a wager, the potential payout and any changes before confirming a bet. Nobody wants to discover that they misunderstood a price after submitting a wager.
Customer service is another area that deserves more attention. If an account gets restricted or a withdrawal takes longer than expected, a polished home screen doesn't count for much.
Promotions are worth comparing too, although I'd never choose an app based entirely on a welcome offer. Read the terms. Some offers have restrictions that make them less attractive than they first appear.
If you had to keep only one sportsbook app on your phone, would you choose FanDuel, DraftKings or BetMGM? What's the one feature that makes your choice better?
