Betr Picks Review
Are you a sports nut looking for a new way to bet on games? Maybe you're a fan of pick'ems and fantasy, or maybe you want to bet on sports but it hasn't yet been legalized in your state. No matter the reason you want to learn more about BetrPicks — you've come to the right place.
In this review, we'll explain how Betr works, the pros and cons of the platform, whether it's trustworthy and if it's worth your time.
Betr is owned in part by boxer and influencer Jake Paul
Betr was founded in 2022 by boxer and influencer Jake Paul alongisde CEO Joey Levy, who founded Simplebet. The platform bills itself as "the world's first microbetting-focused app," and while that may be true, most of the features on Betr are similar to other daily fantasy sports (DFS) and pick'em platforms.
Betr functions much like the Higher/Lower or Champions games on Underdog Fantasy — users predict whether a player will go higher or lower than his or her projected stat line before or during a game, combining anywhere from 2-8 players to create a lineup. Winnings are multiplied based on how many picks a user makes, with the maximum prize totaling 2,000x the user's wager.
Trustworthy with tons of promotions, but lacks features that make it unique
Because this type of gameplay is widely available on many DFS and pick'em platforms, we don't think Betr is quite as unique as they might consider themselves, but any product owned by Jake Paul is bound to be overhyped. Still, with a strong mobile app and tons of generous promotions, Betr is definitely worth your time if you're looking for a new sports betting app.
Keep in mind that you must be 21 or older to make picks on Betr, and you'll need to be in one of the US states in which Betr is legal. We should mention that the registration process was very clunky — buttons didn't work, pages froze and it took far longer than it should have — but that experience may not be shared by every user.
Promotions & Rewards on Betr
It's always a good sign when the promotions section of the review is the longest. Betr offers an impressive suite of promotions and rewards and even has multiple options for bet insurance available at most times. While their deposit match is a solid welcome offer for new users, the promos don't stop there.
Here's a detailed overview of the promotions and rewards available on Betr.
Betr offers tons of promotions and rewards on both desktop and mobile
- Deposit Matches
Get $10 free before making a deposit and receive a deposit match up to $25 when you create an account on Betr, and take advantage of regular deposit matches offered on occasion. You don't have to opt in to the welcome offer deposit match; you'll simply be given $10 in Betr Bucks plus the same amount you deposited in Betr Bucks which can be used to make picks, but can't be withdrawn until they've been wagered.
How It Works
- Create an Account: Sign up for Betr Picks using your personal device.
- Receive a Welcome Bonus: Get $10 in your account just for creating an account.
- Make a Deposit: Deposit at least $10 to qualify for a deposit match.
- Get Rewarded: Receive a 100% match on your first deposit — up to $25 in Betr Bucks!
If you have already created an account with Betr but haven’t yet made your first deposit, don't fret — you’re still eligible. Betr Bucks will typically be credited to you within a few hours, but may take up to 72 hours. And while you can certainly deposit more than $25 on the platform, your deposit match still won't exceed the $25 limit.
- Refer a Friend
Earn $20 in Betr Bucks each time you refer a friend who wagers $10 or more. There's no limit to the number of friends you can invite; you'll receive a $20 bonus for every friend you refer who makes the $10 bet.
Also keep in mind that each friend you refer to Betr qualifies for their $77 deposit match welcome offer.
How It Works
- Hit the "Free $20" icon on the app or Betr website
- Copy the referral link on the page
- Send your invite link to friends
- They enter their email and register on the app with the same email
- You will receive $20 in Betr Bucks.
Your referral bonus will trigger after your friend places their first $10 in cash — not Betr Bucks. Most bonuses will be paid out within a couple of hours, but can take up to 72 hours.
- Injury Protection
For NFL and NBA games, enjoy Betr's injury protection feature to help avoid losing money if a player is injured mid-game. If you've played DFS or bet on sports to any degree in the past, you've probably gotten burnt by a player getting hurt — it's the ultimate lose-lose in sports. Thankfully on Betr, you don't have to worry about that.
How It Works
- It will apply to full-game NFL and NBA picks on players who are injured in the first half and don't return in the second half.
- The Pick will be voided and your entry will revert down to the next multiplier like a standard void. If you made a five-pick entry, for example, it would automatically become a four-pick entry.
- Winning entries will be paid out as Playthrough Cash within 24 hours.
- Protected Plays
Betr offers Protected Plays to users on occasion, and it's one of their best perks. Protected Plays on Betr work just like No Sweat Bets on traditional sportsbooks — if you place a bet and lose, you'll see your wager returned to you in the form of Betr Bucks so that you can take another crack at it.
How It Works
- Opt in and place a cash entry.
- If your entry wins, you'll get paid out in withdrawable cash like usual.
- If it doesn't win, you'll get 100% of your entry amount back as Betr Bucks up to $10.
- Rewards will be paid within 30 minutes of your entry settling, but could take up to 24 hours.
- No Sweat Shot at Thousands Every Weekend
Not only does Betr offer Protected Plays — they also offer No Sweat bets every weekend. But unlike their Protected Plays, a No Sweat Shot at Thousands has more strings attached. This promotion requires users to make picks with a multiplier of 100x or higher, meaning users must have eight picks in their lineup, which is an untenably high number if you want them all to win.
Still, it's a great feature — if you win, you win; if you lose, you get three bucks back — and it's offered every weekend.
How It Works
- Opt in to the promotion.
- Place a cash entry with a multiplier of 100x or higher.
- If your entry doesn't win, you'll receive you entry amount back up to $3 in Betr Bucks.
- Rewards will usually be paid out within 30 minutes of your entry settling, but could take up to 24 hours.
Pro tip: You can place an entry larger than $3, but the maximum reward remains $3.
- Play $500+, Get 10% of Net Losses Back
You scratch their back, they'll scratch yours. Betr's Play $500, Get 10% of Net Losses Back promotion is a typical offering for a sportsbook or fantasy site because it entices users to spend big. Still, if you can afford to spend $500 on the platform, getting 10% of your net losses back definitely evens the playing field for users.
How It Works
- Opt in to the promotion.
- Place $500 or more in cash entries while the promotion is available.
- Get 10% of your net losses during that period back as Betr Bucks.
- Betr Ballers Club
Speaking of promotions for big-time players, Betr created the Ballers Club to give users a chance to unlock exclusive VIP perks and promos. There's a new club each month, so if you're interested in being a member, come back on the first of each month to join.
How It Works
- Players can either receive an exclusive invite by playing often, or auto-qualify by placing $500+ in cash entries with a multiplier of 50x or higher in May.
- Both invited and auto-qualified users will be notified if they made the June Ballers Club on June 1.
- June Ballers Club Members will receive exclusive benefits that last all month, including Weekly Bonus Drop, Bigger Daily Discounts, and a $30 Referral Bonus.
Pro tip: VIPs on other DFS Apps can email vip@betr.app with proof for a sample of Ballers Club benefits.
Betr App Review
The Betr platform doesn't have a ton of features. Unless you're in Ohio or Virginia, their sportsbook is off limits to you, so you can really only do one thing: make a lineup of 2-8 players from different teams and win cash prizes if all of your picks hit.
Because of the platform's simplicity, the app doesn't have a ton of features, either — but it may be the company's simplicity that enables them to have such a strong mobile app.
Choose 2-8 players from different teams to start your lineup
App reviews in both the App Store and Google Play are largely positive, and Betr's app ratings are very strong. In our experience, the app functions well and has a clean, slick interface. Because there aren't a ton of added features to Betr Picks, it's extra intuitive — we'd be surprised if sports-savvy users have trouble figuring out how to create their lineups.
Simplicity is the name of the game on the Betr app
Another impressive feature of the Betr app is the way they feature their promotions. Betr's promotions and rewards are excellent when compared to similar sites like Thrillzz, and they feature their promos front and center when you open the app, as well as in their own section that you can navigate to with one click.
There may not be many bells and whistles on the Betr app, but if you want a trustworthy sports betting app that's easy to use, Betr might be exactly what you're looking for.
Betr App Reviews
- App Store Review
Pretty Good App — 4/5 ⭐️
Dman_2225, 10/11/2024
I want to love this app but there’s some good and bad with it as all apps. I’ll start with the bad is they definitely do not have the typical lines like the other apps. Most of it is boosted lines or no line at all. I wish they kept at least the main line and boosted as an option most of the time and adjust as needed. The pro is its a very smooth and easy app to us. They payout probably the fastest in my opinion and they are always offering promos. If they can keep the main lines on the board then it would be my go to app! Also wish they would bring dynamic lineups back to FL. Overall solid DFS option 7.8/10 with potential for higher.
- Google Play Review
3/5 ⭐️
Jeff Vande Hey, 10/25/2024
I like some features, like how you can split bets on a promo. In my experience, customer service is better than most. The one thing I do not get excited about is what they call betr bucks. The only company in the industry that significantly reduces payouts when promo funds are used. Some good things, some not as great.
Betr Betting Variety
We've established that Betr is trustworthy, worth your time, and pays real money to users who make picks and win. But which sports are available for making picks? What types of bets can you make? Let's dig into Betr's overall betting variety.
Sports Available on Betr
While Betr has plenty of positive qualities, the array of sports available for making picks isn't their biggest strength. They do, however, have betting options open for the four major sports, college sports, tennis and more.
Here's a list of the sports available for making picks on Betr:
NFL
NBA
WNBA
Men’s College Basketball
Women’s College Basketball
MLB
College Football
NHL
PGA
UFC
Betr Betting Features
Whether it's because they're a newer company in the sports gaming market or because they've chosen to hyper-focus on microbetting, Betr does not offer a wide variety of ways to make picks. Depending on which state you're in, you may be able to use their sportsbook and the availability of Betr Picks can vary. But most users will be using Betr Picks in the same way.
Let's break down the betting features on Betr.
Betr Picks
Betr bills itself as the first microbetting-focused app in the world, and they've poured the vast majority of their resources into Betr Picks, the microbetting suite that comprises the vast majority of betting options on Betr.
Add players to your lineup by selecting over or under their projected stat line
For any given matchup, players are assigned statistical projections, and Betr users can choose a projection for a player to go over or under. Betr almost exclusively features "over" options — over 27.5 points, over 1.5 hits, etc. — and only occasionally offers "under" options as well.
Similar to a pick'em game, Betr Picks will feel familiar to sports bettors who like to parlay player props. To create an entry, you must select two or more players from two different teams. The more picks you add to your slip, the more your winnings multiply — but you have to win all of your picks to win your bet.
Here's a list of multipliers based on the number of picks in your lineup:
# of Picks | Multiplier |
|---|---|
2 | 3x |
3 | 5x |
4 | 10x |
5 | 20x |
6 | 30x |
7 | 50x |
8 | 100x |
Betr Picks Group Play
When you submit an entry with your picks, Betr places you into a group with other players by splitting your chosen entry fee into increments of $1. Players are added to groups with other users who make the same number of picks and play at a similar skill level.
How is Betr Picks Group Play different than Betr Picks? In Betr Picks Group Play, you can win in two ways:
- Perfect Lineup: This is the same as Betr Picks — get every pick in your lineup correct and win your entry fee times the multiplier that matches your number of picks (see above).
- Highest Score: This is where Group Play differs from Betr Picks: You don't necessarily have to get every pick right to win. If you have the highest score in your leaderboard group, you'll win that leaderboard's prize ($5 for three-pick contests, $100 for eight-pick contests).
Points are calculated based on pick types:
- Boost Level 3: 4.5 points
- Boost Level 2: 3 points
- Regular Pick: 1.5 points
- Edge Level 1: 1 point
If multiple players tie for first place on the leaderboard, the prize will be evenly divided between all winners.
Betr Fantasy
If you're looking to start an account on a new daily fantasy (DFS) website or app, Betr does bill itself as a fantasy site and may suit your needs. But if you're looking for an old-school DFS product that allows you to simply fill out a roster with players and see if you can score more points than your opponent, you'll find Betr to be a bit of a different gaming experience.
Betr utilizes traditional fantasy points as one of their statistical projections
Like Underdog Fantasy, Betr allows users to add 2-8 picks to their betslip in what amounts to a parlay of player prop bets. But some users may call this style of game a pick'em, and because Betr advertises itself as the first microbetting app, that may be the most appropriate term.
Regardless of what they call it, the game is fun, it works well, and it has the potential to pay real money. It's a bit confusing for Betr to use the term "fantasy" as often as they do — users are even prompted to "Deposit to Fantasy" and "Withdraw from Fantasy" when adding or removing funds.
Regardless, as apps and websites work extra hard in today's market to remain legally compliant in states in which sports betting hasn't yet been legalized, this may be best regarded as a "you gotta do what you gotta do" situation.
Live Betting
If you're a sports bettor who loves live betting, or even if you prefer microbetting to DFS and pick'em, you'll enjoy making live picks on Betr during a game.
Make over or under picks live mid-game on Betr
Live picks on Betr work exactly like standard picks: Choose a player or matchup, scan their available projections and choose over or under their stat projection as you see fit. You do still need to choose at least two players from different teams, so live bets are a bit challenging on Betr.
One thing to keep in mind while making live picks on Betr is that the availability of picks changes frequently — and quickly. Like live betting at a traditional sportsbook, bets come off the board and new bets are added at a high rate based on the action in that particular game. Long story short, if you get a strong feeling about a live bet you'd like to place, lock it in right away.
Free-to-Play Games
One of the biggest downsides of the Betr platform is that there aren't very many opportunities to play games for free. However, Betr does occasionally offer free-to-play games built around holidays and tentpole events.
Players can win real-money prizes or promotional rewards depending on the event despite not having to buy in to the game. Betr's free-to-play Christmas Challenge game distributed $10,000 amongst its winners, and a special free pick'em game built around owner Jake Paul's boxing match against Mike Tyson paid out portions amounting to $50,000 to winning players.
Betr Duels
Navigate to the Featured Entries page on the Betr app or website to find Betr Duels, a game with pre-selected player projections that awards winners portions of a large prize pool. Pick the over to join Club More or pick the under to join Club Less, and if you win, you won't just receive the Jackpot — you'll get your normal winnings from your selections as well.
Here's how it works:
- Play $1 or more in cash on either the Club More entry or the Club Less entry in the Featured Entries page.
- If your side wins, you'll receive the normal payout plus an equal share of the daily Jackpot in Betr Bucks.
- The Jackpot will begin at $5,000. If neither side wins, at least $1,000 will be added to the jackpot for the next day.
Make your over or under picks in Betr Duels to join Club More or Club Less
Betr Duels Additional Facts
- To qualify, you must place at least $1 in cash entries — not Betr Bucks — on only one side of the Featured Entry each day — playing both sides voids eligibility.
- Dynamic Plays are not eligible and will not receive a share of the jackpot, even if the side they selected wins.
- If a player’s line moves after the Duel goes live, you’re still eligible for the jackpot if your Club wins — even if your individual entry loses due to the updated line. For example, if the Duel opens with Anthony Edwards at 20.5 points and you join Club More later when his projection updated to 21.5 points, and Edwards scores 21 points, your entry loses, but Club More still wins because the original line (20.5 points) was covered — so you still earn a share of the jackpot.
- Payouts are issued in Betr Bucks within 24 hours of results and must be played through once before cashing out. Betr Bucks expire in 30 days and pay one multiplier less than cash.
Types of Picks on Betr
When making picks to add to your lineup, you may notice one of four different icons next to each projection indicating the specific bet type being offered. Here's what those icons mean and how they can affect your picks and payouts:
Colorful icons help identify pick types on the Betr app
- Edge Combos: Indicated with a gray keyhole icon, Edge Combos allow you to make same-game and same-team picks.
- Boosted Picks: These are harder to hit, but when you see a yellow rocket ship icon, you'll be able to take your multiplier to the next level.
- Edge Picks: When you see a blue keyhole icon, you'll be able to make an Edge Pick, which makes it easier for your bet to hit.
- Anchor Picks: Anchor Picks don't increase your multiplier, but when you see the anchor icon, they'll help anchor your lineup with a likely win.
- Discounted Picks: Betr also offers mega discounts on some picks to help users get started. Find these with a light blue percentage symbol icon and you'll see the discounted projection indicated on the screen.
Betr Sportsbook Review
Arguably the most compelling feature of Betr is that it provides a way to make picks on sports that can reward users with real money in states in which sports betting isn't yet legal. But if you're either in the state of Ohio or Virginia, you can also access their sportsbook, which is as legit as any sports betting app on the market.
Betr Sportsbook's user-friendly interface and solid betting selection
Enjoy Betr Sportsbook in the same way you'd make picks on DraftKings or BetMGM, choosing from a strong suite of betting options that you'd expect from a leading sportsbook. Here are the types of bets available to make on Betr Sportsbook:
- Spreads
- Moneylines
- Totals
- Player Props
- Game Props
- Parlays
- Same-Game Combos (SGC)
- Live Betting
- Live Parlays
All things considered, if you live in Ohio or Virginia or even if you're just visiting, Betr Sportsbook is definitely worth your time. One of their best features is that they offer live parlays, which some of the top sports betting apps don't even offer.
Live Parlays and Pre-Game Parlays on Betr Sportsbook
It's also important to note that, in order to stay compliant with state sports betting laws, Betr doesn't permit users to utilize the same wallet for Betr Picks and Betr Sportsbook. Instead, users will have to deposit funds into both their Fantasy (Betr Picks) and Sportsbook accounts without the ability to use both platforms with the same funds.
Some users may view this as a negative, but to me, if you're able to use their sportsbook in OH or VA, you may not need to utilize Betr Picks at all — you can build parlays in Betr Sportsbook to earn similar payouts to Betr Picks.
Here's how to switch between Betr Picks and Betr Sportsbook:
- Navigate to your Account/Wallet Section
- Scroll to the bottom and select state settings
- Select your state
I checked out Betr Sportsbook when I visited Ohio earlier this year, and I was impressed with how the betting app functions overall. One thing that did catch my attention is that they don't use traditional odds or moneylines; instead, they use the same multipliers as they do for Picks.
That may confuse some sportsbook users, so it's important to note that a 2.00x multiplier is actually even odds, not a chance to double your money — it means you'll receive double your wager back into your account, but that also includes your wager, so 2.00x is equivalent to +100 odds.
Does that mean Betr is trying to trick users? Not necessarily — as long as you know how much you're betting and what you'll get in return for winning, you'll be in good shape to place some bets on Betr Sportsbook.
Where Can I Play Betr in the US?
If you're looking to play Betr you'll only need to be in one of 34 US states and territories. However, Betr offers three styles of games on their platform, and they're all legal in different states: Betr Picks, the featured game on Betr, is available in 18 states; Betr Sportsbook is available in only two states; Betr Picks Group Play, their peer-to-peer games that's available in 16 states and territories.

Payment Options on Betr
We've got some good news and some bad news. If you're ready to deposit money into your Betr account and start making picks, the platform does permit PayPal as a payment method. That's a positive especially when compared to other sportsbook alternatives and DFS sites which don't always include PayPal in their payment options.
But from there, it's pretty slim pickings. Betr's card payment options are limited, and other mobile payment services aren't included either. Let's break down which payment options actually are available on Betr.
PAYMENT METHOD | MIN. DEPOSIT | DEPOSIT SPEED | MIN. WITHDRAWAL | WITHDRAWAL SPEED |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PayPal | $10 | Instant | $1 | 24-72 hours |
Visa Debit | $10 | Instant | $1 | 24-72 hours |
MasterCard Debit | $10 | Instant | $1 | 24-72 hours |
Bank Transfer | $10 | Instant | $1 | 1-5 days |
Betr Customer Support Options
Betr's options for customer support are pretty limited, but adequate compared to other sportsbooks and sportsbook alternatives. If you run into trouble while using the platform and need help, you'll most likely turn to their AI-powered chat bot. If you have simple questions and have some experience using AI to get your questions answered, this might satisfy your needs.
The best feature of Betr's chat bot is that it offers you the option to chat with a real person if you can't get a sufficient answer using AI. It usually takes a few minutes for a representative to jump into the chat, but once they do, they can help with just about any issue, whether it's technical, payment-related, or anything in between.
Betr's AI-driven customer support will be helpful for most users
Betr also features a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section on their website and app, which allows users to track down answers on their own by reading articles if they wish.
In summary, these are the three customer support options available on Betr:
- AI chat bot
- Chat with a real person if chat bot can't help
- FAQ on web and mobile
- Email: support@betr.app
Betr Review Summary
To sum is all up, Betr is absolutely a trustworthy betting app and website that allows you to make picks on 2-8 players to win real money. It's a bit overly simplified — there aren't many niche sports or bonus features — but if you love pick'ems and DFS and want to bet on major sports, Betr may be just what you're looking for.
A very simple sports betting product — and that may be one of its strengths
We certainly have our complaints with Betr — their payment options, customer service and overall betting options may need to evolve for them to be a major player in the sports betting industry. Still, the vast array of promotions and strong mobile app make us comfortable recommending Betr to prospective bettors.

Yes, Betr is definitely legit. The platform features a strong suite of microbets and puts most of their focus in microbetting; however, they also have a sportsbook available in Ohio and Virginia, and users can make fantasy picks in addition to making microbets for a chance to win real money.
Yes, you heard correctly: Betr is owned in part by Jake Paul, the online influencer-turned-boxer-turned-actor. Paul founded the company in 2022 alongside Simplebet founder Joey Levy.
Originally from Ohio and currently living in Chicago, IL, Mark is a lifelong sports fan who inherited rooting interests in the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers. After a decade in sports media covering sports betting as a writer, editor and producer, Mark brought his long track record of sports experience to the Sportsbooks Online team in early 2025.
