The best sportsbook app for iOS

The popularity of Apple products also means that many sports fans will be aiming to bet using an iOS device, so it is important that the service they use provides an iOS-friendly platform such as bet365. Here are four of the best iOS betting apps available right now.

FanDuel Sportsbook

FanDuel is one of the biggest daily fantasy sports companies in the US so has plenty of expertise when it comes to sports products. Since being bought by Paddy Power Betfair in 2018, the operator has also had one of the largest names in iGaming on its side. There are 15 states where FanDuel operates, with Wyoming being the latest to see the launch of a FanDuel sports betting platform.

Betting fans in the US can use distinct and separate apps for the FanDuel sportsbook and DFS games.

The apps work smoothly on iOS smartphones and provide a great user experience. This is evident in the app reviews, with the iOS app receiving a higher rating than its Android counterpart.

The app gives users access to the operator's entire betting platform, providing a simple, fast, intuitive interface with competitive odds and a large selection of betting options. It was the first sportsbook in the United States to provide the popular "Same Game Parlay", and no other US betting app has so far been able to match the FanDuel product in this area.

DraftKings Sportsbook

DraftKings Sportsbook, the great rival of FanDuel, was one of the quickest sportsbooks out of the blocks when the PASPA Act was struck down by the Supreme Court in May 2018. Within three months, they had set up an online sports betting service in New Jersey, becoming the first legal mobile betting app outside of Nevada. That expansion has continued and now includes 17 states.

The DraftKings iOS app is extremely well designed and simple to use, and has developed considerably since the company switched from Kambi for back-end software and risk management to an in-house system powered by SBTech. The odds offered are good and there is a healthy range of markets.

The iOS app also allows rapid access to DraftKings' outstanding player and game props, as well as alternate lines and spreads. Users can choose from a large variety of sports from both domestic and foreign markets, and DraftKings also offers a variety of unique promos and free bets, making its iOS app one of the most highly rated in the US betting industry.

Caesars Sportsbook

Caesars is one of the most well-known names in the gaming and entertainment industries, so it's no surprise that Caesars were quick to launch their own sportsbook brand, following their acquisition of the William Hill US sports betting platform (though William Hill still operate in Nevada).

The Caesars sportsbook can be accessed on iOS devices in 12 states, including New York, New Jersey and Michigan, and there is lots to like about the platform.

Overall, the Caesars Sportsbook mobile experience checks all the requirements, particularly if you want a clean, easy-to-read interface. Within the app UI, it's simple to deposit and withdraw funds, seek assistance via live chat, and more. Since switching from William Hill to Caesars, the casino appears to have improved its promotions and bonuses for iOS app users, which is welcome news.

Bet365

Bet365 is one of the best-known names in the world of sports betting, with an international reputation for having great sports betting deals. Now US bettors are able to benefit from the Bet365 mobile experience. The move to the US market means that Bet365 now also covers all of the popular US professional leagues, in addition to its unrivalled coverage of international sport.

The Bet365 iOS app provides markets on every sport you can imagine, and the live betting section is particularly popular with sports betting fans. While the app itself is not as flashy as some others that are available to US iOS users, it is perhaps the most user-friendly betting app on the market.

In fact, when you visit the Bet365 site using an Apple device, it will automatically direct you to the mobile version of the site, from where you can download the linked app directly from the iTunes store, which means it is quick and easy to start betting with Bet365 using your iOS device.
