FOX Sports Reviews the Best Sports Betting Apps for 2026, Comparing Top Sites
BetMGM markets and offer
BetMGM promotes a new-user offer of $50 in Reward Points and up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if the first bet loses, using the code FOXSPORTS. The first-bet safety net is returned as five bonus bet tokens, each worth 20% of the initial wager.
The sportsbook features player props, futures, special-event props and coverage across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and college sports. Its futures menu includes markets such as Player Next Team and First Coach Fired, and it streams selected niche sports, including the English Championship and ATP Challengers tournaments.
Design and user feedback
BetMGM’s interface uses a black-and-gold design, with navigation and odds across pre-game, live and futures markets. The page says its prices are competitive, though not always the best available.
Some user reviews cited app delays, access problems and customer-service concerns. One reviewer described an error during bet submission followed by duplicate wagers appearing as pending and live. The page cautions that the app combines casino and sportsbook functions, so some negative feedback concerns casino games rather than sports betting.
DraftKings features and promotions
DraftKings is described as a well-known U.S. sportsbook with extensive markets and a connection to Daily Fantasy Sports. Its features include a same-game parlay builder and frequent odds boosts for NFL, NBA and MLB events.
The listed offer is to bet $5 and receive $150 in bonus bets instantly, with the offer automatically applied. Promotions also include profit boosts, parlay boosts, bet-and-get offers and King of the Diamond.

DraftKings’ app is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars on iOS and 4.3 out of 5 on the Android app store. The guide describes user sentiment as generally positive, with reviewers praising ease of use and a platform that feels as smooth as the desktop site.
