Above, we discussed our top sports betting apps. However, you also are likely curious as to how we go about ranking these apps.
This is a fair question, and below, we’ll discuss the various factors of a sports betting app that we consider when ranking them.
User Interface Design
Not only do we look for an attractive user interface design, but we also look for one that promotes easy navigation to key parts of a sports betting app. These key points include sportsbook payment methods, bet catalog, customer support, and promotions. After loading the mobile app, you should be able to identify these key areas without needing to move around the site to search for these sections.
Sports Betting Markets
Quantity is key here—the more sports and ways to bet on them, the better. Of course, all online sportsbooks in the United States will have the top four sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL), but having niche markets is also necessary. It is important to have more ways to bet on sports beyond the moneyline betting, point spread, and totals.
Banking Methods
Like sports betting markets, the more banking methods available for deposits and withdrawals, the better. In addition to looking for more options, we examine the withdrawal methods and how long it takes to receive it. Receiving your funds is the absolute top priority, and we only recommend sites that deliver your funds quickly and efficiently.
Customer Support
Not to sound like a broken record, but yes, the more customer support options, the better. The most common options are FAQ, live chat, email, and telephone support. While we look to see how many of those are offered and examine the FAQ section to see how in-depth their answers are and look for response time and knowledge from the live chat.
Additional Features
Most online sportsbooks have features such as live betting, Cash Out, and same game parlays, but when ranking these sites, we look for those that have features that are particular to the site, such as PointsBetting, that provide value for that specific site. These unique features add variety from site to site, so you have something new each time you switch sportsbooks
Promotions and Bonuses
While many online betting apps have sportsbook bonuses for new players, we examine each to ensure the terms and conditions aren’t predatory toward players and that you can fulfill and enjoy the offers.
