What’s not: It’s a personal preference thing, but the advertising campaign with the evidently trademarked “make it rain” cliché just grates on me - and is unavoidable. By the time you read this, we’ll know if I hit it big on that one. That’s how I came to put $5 on either Gonzaga or University of Michigan to win March Madness for a big $12.50 payout. It’s also just not as fussy as most of the others - no efforts to send a barrage of push notifications or texts or a whole lot of emails - and it boasts a fun feature where users can suggest prop bets. The app is very user-friendly for easy deposits, withdrawals, and wagers. No casino games, no poker, no cacophony of distractions - just straight-up sports wagering. What’s good: This is just a sportsbook, at least for now, and I like it that way. Michigan partner: Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa And, finally, the app asked me to agree to push notifications, and evidently saying “no” once - or six times - isn’t enough. There also is a glitch where you cannot get to the sportsbook from a poker game without logging out of the poker game/area, which means you can’t place sports bets without leaving your poker games. Also - and this is not FOX Bet’s fault - as of spring 2021, players in Michigan can only play live poker with one another online, although the Michigan Gaming Control Board is working to create compacts with other states where online poker is legal, including Pennsylvania, Nevada, and New Jersey. What’s not: The FOX Bet casino is more limited than others, with no video poker options. What’s more, in the desktop version of PokerStars, there is a link appearing on every poker table that takes you to phone numbers and live online chats from both the National Council on Problem Gambling and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The efforts to remind people about “responsible gambling” are more aggressive than in any other app every time you log off or on, you’re offered the number for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Problem Gambling hotline. Deposit in either the FOX Bet or the PokerStars app and you can access the money from both. What’s good: For about two months, PokerStars was the only legal online poker site in Michigan, and its integration with FOX Bet is mostly lovely and seamless. All details found in this ranking reflect what we found when we used them in February and March.
BOOKMAKER APPS FREE
Most offers are much more complicated than they seem one $10 free slot play offer I saw actually meant I got the $10 only after I played $500 but figuring that out took a great deal of digging around in the fine print.ĭisclaimer: Some betting apps have been making adjustments since they debuted this winter.
No matter how attractive the offers are, you can rest assured the casinos are probably not giving you anything out of the goodness of their hearts. That said, it may be best to ignore the gazillion special offers coming at you and settle on one or two apps you find pleasing to look at and navigate.
It also makes it easier to open another browser page and look up what the casino’s current promotional offerings and codes are. While this roundup focuses on how the mobile apps work and handle, it is easier to do the sign-up on a proper computer than on a phone because there’s a bit of typing that makes a real keyboard your friend.I skipped that every time and still set up my account. In many cases, you give the app permission to bombard you with messages when you check a list of boxes as you sign up that also include attesting to being over 21 and physically in Michigan, so it may seem like you have to agree to all the texts and emails to sign up. You can decide when you want to play and on what you want to bet without all that temptation and pressure. Turn off all the push and email notifications.That may seem unfair, but I’m baffled as to why BetRivers, which has iPhone betting apps for other states, wouldn’t have been as ready as all these other entities when Michigan turned on the spigot.Īnyhow, here are three quick tips that might help as you venture into this world:
BOOKMAKER APPS FOR ANDROID
One note: BetRivers is not included here because as of early April, its app was exclusively for Android devices. There’s no rubric or scoring this is just how they made me, as a veteran sports bettor, poker player, and casino afficionado, feel. The distinctions that led to the rankings you find here, then, are a subjective assessment about useability, look, and social responsibility.
