Best sportsbook app

Updated Oct 9, 2026

A betting app has to stay up on the busiest nights and place the bet at the price shown. Outages hit the biggest apps: DraftKings’ odds disappeared nationwide from about 2 a.m. to 2:13 p.m. ET on 2024-10-10, and a regional AWS outage kept some FanDuel users out for hours on 2026-05-07.^[1][2][3]

Small slips cost real money. Caesars store reviews report odds changing at submission. Example prices: if a −105 becomes −110 on the slip, that is $2.16 a $100 bet at a coin flip, $1,082.25 over 500 bets.^[4][calc]

This page ranks state-licensed sportsbooks by vigged’s app & site score, the same 0–10 rubric used in every review, with each book’s reason and sources below. High store ratings on large counts, stability and full features score well; low ratings on small counts and missing features score lower.^[5][6]

Caveats. Android figures disagree by source. Read recent reviews in your own state’s listing. Every app checks your location: turn on location services and turn off any VPN. Books are licensed state by state.^{[7][8][9][10]}

Ranked by vigged's app & site score

1FanDuel9.0
iOS 4.8 from about 2.3M ratings, with Google Play reported between 4.4 and 4.7, plus live betting, SGPs and cash out. A regional AWS outage on 2026-05-07 left some users locked out for hours during the NBA playoffs, which keeps it off the top.^[1][2][3][4]
Overall 8.3/10 · For straight-bet bettors who want main lines reported shorter than −110 and fast stated payouts. Parlay, teaser and consistently winning bettors should compare prices elsewhere first.
2DraftKings9.0
iOS 4.8 from a large rating count (snapshots about 960,000 to 1.3M); Android snapshots range 4.4 to 4.78. A nationwide outage in October 2024 and the AWS outage in October 2025 keep it off the top.^{[1][4][5][3][2][6][7]}
Overall 7.9/10 · For parlay, same-game parlay and 2-team teaser bettors who want a deep menu and fast stated debit-card payouts. Price-sensitive and winning bettors should compare prices elsewhere first.
3Hard Rock Bet9.0
iOS 4.9 from about 309K–353K ratings and Android reportedly about 4.6–4.8, with live betting, SGPs and cash out. An app outage on 2025-04-22 and reports of slow loading and location checks keep it off the top.^{[2][3][1][4][6][5]}
Overall 7.7/10 · For Florida bettors, who have no other legal online sportsbook, and parlay players who want Flex Parlay. Price-sensitive bettors in its other states should compare prices elsewhere first.
4Caesars Sportsbook8.5
4.7 on the App Store from about 113K ratings and about 4.5 on Google Play, with Flex Parlays, streaming and lock-screen results: the 8.5 anchor. Outages are on record (Colorado 2024; the older Nevada platform at Super Bowl LVII), and users report logouts and odds changing at submission, so it sits half a point below FanDuel and Hard Rock Bet.^{[2][3][1][4][5]}
Overall 7.9/10 · For straight bettors and Caesars Rewards members who want quick stated withdrawals and profit boosts paid in cash. Heavy parlay and teaser bettors should compare prices first.
5theScore Bet8.5
iOS 4.8 from about 223K ratings and Google Play 4.4 from about 19.9K, with streaming, cash out and web betting: the 8.5 anchor. User reviews mention withdrawal checks, slow support and wrongly graded bets, and the Android rating is lower, so it sits half a point below FanDuel and Hard Rock Bet.^[1][3][2][4]
Overall 7.7/10 · For recreational and parlay bettors who want a well-rated app and a second-chance first bet. Price-sensitive straight bettors and consistent winners should compare prices elsewhere first.
6BetMGM8.0
One review site reports 4.8 on iOS from 240,000+ ratings and 4.2 on Google Play, so it sits between the 7 and 8.5 anchors, below the books whose ratings were confirmed in more than one source.^[1]
Overall 7.6/10 · For recreational bettors who want an MGM-linked app with cash out, Edit My Bet and same-game parlays. Price-sensitive and winning bettors should take the better number elsewhere.
7Circa Sports5.5
iOS ratings run 1.9 to 3.5 on small counts, betting is app-only, and store reviews report crashes, logouts and bets slow to settle. No outage report was found, and the new app adds biometric login and limits shown on each bet, so it sits just above the 5 anchor.^{[2][3][4][1][5][6][7]}
Overall 7.6/10 · For straight-bet bettors in Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky or Missouri who want a book that states a low margin and posts its limits. Same-game parlay, live-betting and bonus players should skip it.

Frequently asked questions

Which sportsbook app has the highest rating?

Hard Rock Bet showed 4.9 on iOS from roughly 309K–353K ratings, and DraftKings and FanDuel 4.8 from far larger counts. Hard Rock’s “highest-rated” line is its own claim, and ratings move. Store ratings are only one input to vigged’s app score.

Why won’t my sportsbook app verify my location?

Turn on location services (precise location), turn off any VPN, and on desktop install the GeoComply plugin.

Do sportsbook apps go down on big game days?

Some have. DraftKings lost odds nationwide on 2024-10-10 and was disrupted by the AWS outage of 2025-10-20, FanDuel had a regional AWS outage during the 2026 NBA playoffs, Hard Rock Bet was down for an afternoon on 2025-04-22, and Caesars in Colorado was down for at least 8 hours in January 2024.

Can I bet on a computer instead of the app?

At several, yes. FanDuel needs the GeoComply plugin on desktop, Hard Rock Bet runs at hardrock.bet and theScore Bet at sportsbook.thescore.bet. Circa is app-only, per review sites.

Which sportsbook apps have cash out?

DraftKings, FanDuel and Caesars offer cash out, though not on every bet, and BetMGM adds Edit My Bet. At Circa, store reviews complain of no cash out.
