FOX Bet Review

FOX Sports has been synonymous with American sports for decades now. Whether you love watching Terry, Howie, and the gang before Sunday afternoon NFC action or love-to-hate watching Skip & Shannon on Undisputed on FS1, there’s no denying the sheer brand recognition FOX Sports owns.

Now teaming up with online gambling gurus, The Stars Group, FOX Bet is poised to become a household name in the online sports betting world.

The media titans at FOX Sports have teamed up with the gambling gurus at the Stars Group to give us FOX Bet

FOX Bet is a strong offering in the online sportsbook sphere. Both the desktop site and app have a layout that heavily features the images of FOX Sports personalities like Charissa Thompson and Colin Cowherd touting their daily promotions such as Bet Boosts.

The FOX Bet app is one of the best out there and provides users with a high-end mobile experience. It’s super easy to use and features great live event trackers for those of you interested in placing live bets.

In terms of betting variety, users may miss same game parlays. Only very limited options are available, mainly pre-made basic combos. These types of bets are growing in popularity, so their weakness here is notable. However, if you like to play the slots or a hand or two of Poker, FOX Bet’s collaboration with Pokerstars has led to seamless connectivity between the sportsbook, casino, and poker options in select states.

At the end of the day, FOX Bet offers users a solid experience. With a few improvements, FOX Bet has the potential to grow into one of the best sportsbooks in the country.

• Great mobile betting experience for iPhone and Android bettors
• Access to Casino and Poker games available in most states
• Many deposit and withdrawal options

• Not many support options available
• Only pre-made same game parlays available

For new users, FOX Bet features a $50 second chance bet upon sign up.

After you’ve registered and verified your account, all you have to do is place a qualifying real-money wager with odds of -200 or longer within 30 days of signing up.

If your real-money bet wins, then you can enjoy your winnings and continue to bet as you see fit. If your qualifying bet loses, then your wager amount will be refunded in on-site credits up to $500.

This means that if your losing bet was for $400, you’ll get $400 back but if your losing bet was for $1,000, your refund will be capped at $500.

Simply play through your refund amount once on bets with odds of -200 or longer and it will be converted into real cash.

FOX Bet does a fairly good job of rewarding return players to the platform. Some popular recurring promotions include:

• Odds Boosts - FOX Bet is one of the most generous sportsbooks in the country when it comes to offering odds boosts to return players. Through their "Super Boosts," you can find great value every day.
• FOX Bet Challenges - FOX Bet will offer customized challenges to users based on their betting history.
• Refer-A-Friend - You and your friend each get $50 towards the sportsbook after the referral deposits at least $10 within 14 days of signing up.

These are solid deals for returning customers, and FOX Bet treats their customers pretty well. These individual promotions all have their own Terms & Conditions so make sure to read your T's & C's!

One are where FOX Bet has noticeably started to lag behind the competition is their sheer geographic reach. FOX Bet is only available in the following states:

FOX Bet States

• Colorado (Sportsbook)
• Michigan (Sportsbook & Casino)
• New Jersey (Sportsbook & Casino)
• Pennsylvania (Sportsbook & Casino)

To use FOX Bet, you do not need to be a resident of those states, however, you must be physically located there to play.

With the backing of a major corporation and media company, we would have expected FOX Bet at a faster clip then they have. When put up against competitors around their level, such as BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, and Barstool Sportsbook, FOX Bet has been lapped.

It's easier said than done, of course - state laws are complex, and expanding to new areas can be tricky. But, if FOX Bet wants to stay relevant, they'll need to pick up the pace.

The FOX Bet App is a mostly seamless mobile betting experience. It’s user-friendly and intuitive, giving you everything you need literally in the palm of your hands.

Users have quick access to crucial tabs on the bottom of the page, with key bet categories listed on a carousel at the very top of the home page. The layout makes a lot of sense.

Live betting is a great experience on mobile. Live game trackers give you all the latest updates and odds can easily be updated by refreshing the page when prompted.

The FOX Bet Casino and Poker are integrated into the app and displayed prominently. We’re fans of the “one-stop-shop” nature of this, but it may be a little bit of a turn-off if you’re only here for the latest NBA odds.

A very strong mobile experience

There are a few knocks against the app. There’s a lack of mobile-exclusive features here. You won’t really find any special features here that you can’t on the desktop site.

Additionally, when navigating throughout the app there is sometimes a noticeable lag when moving from page to page. Understandable and not uncommon, but still worth a note.

However, despite these small nitpicks, the FOX Bet app offers users a very strong mobile experience.

FOX Bet iPhone App

• Available on the App Store
• 4.5/5 user rating based on 6.2K reviews

FOX Bet App Android

• Available on Google Play
• 3.8/5 user rating based on 403 reviews

An area where FOX Bet truly shines is their payment system. FOX Bet features a great variety of payment options for payouts and deposits.

You can take advantage of multiple e-wallets, such as PayPal and Skrill, and even multiple cash payment options through PayNearMe and Vanilla Direct.

When you factor in industry standard-matching minimum withdrawals and deposits, as well as quick turnaround time on payouts, it's clear FOX Bet has one of the best banking infrastructures in the country.

Users of FOX Bet can take advantage of the following deposit options:

• Visa & Mastercard credit/debit cards
• PayPal
• ACH Bank Transfer
• Skrill
• PayNearMe
• VanillaDirect
• Cash at in-person locations

All deposits are available on your account instantly. The minimum amount you must deposit is $10.

You can utilize the following options to withdraw money from your FOX Bet account:

• PayPal
• ACH Bank Transfer
• Skrill
• Cash at in-person locations

Bank transfers take 3-10 business days to process, while all others take less than 1 business day.

The minimum requirement for withdrawals is $10.

All in all, We think FOX Bet offers users pretty great payment options. There is a ton of options available - including Skrill as an alternative to PayPal - and the processing times are about as good as one could hope for.

We do wish the minimum for deposit and withdrawals were a bit lower, but at $10 that is still a reasonable requirement and very much in line with competitors.

Of course, FOX Bet offers PayPal support for deposits and withdrawals.

The minimum amount for deposits and withdrawals using PayPal is $10. Deposits are available on your account immediately, while payouts are processed within 24 hours.

Skrill is also available to users who are PayPal-averse. Skrill is a rare beast in this field, with only a few competitors offering this as a payment option. This is yet another arrow in the quiver of FOX Bet's elite banking system.

Featuring a fairly straightforward suite of sports betting markets, FOX Bet does not particularly stand out in this regard. Major sports offered include:

• Football
• Basketball
• Baseball
• Hockey
• Soccer
• Tennis
• Golf

There are many other options available, but we do wish FOX had some more niche offerings. For instance, having a dedicated eSports section would be a nice touch and add some value to gamers who want to bet on their favorite streamers.

Some more detailed features would be nice as well. Experienced bettors will note the incredibly limited same game parlay creation. If you wanted to bet on Trae Young having over 30 points in a Hawks’ win, you can’t make that for yourself unless FOX Bet has listed it as a premade in-game parlay option.

FOX Bet's live betting is very good if a bit unspectacular. Live game trackers make it very easy to keep up with all the action, while odds are updated fairly quickly.

However, the lack of live betting features, like live streaming. This is a common feature on many sportsbooks these days, including competitors like Bet365 and PointsBet. Giben FOX Bet's background as a media corporation, we'd hope this is a feature they look into adding, as the infrastructure almost assuredly exists with their parent company to make live streaming top-notch.

Users in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania can take their winnings from the FOX Sportsbook and head on over to the Blackjack table via the Pokerstars Casino.

Here, you’ll be able to find tons of different games to choose from, including slots, video poker, and even live dealers for table games.

New users to the FOX Bet Pokerstars Casino are eligible for a Bet $1, get $50 sign up bonus.

All you have to do is wager $1 on any casino game, and you’ll instantly be granted a $50 bonus - simple as that!

The FOX Bet Casino integration with Pokerstars is great for bettors with a diverse gambling portfolio and allows users a ton of flexibility with how they want to play.

FOX Bet’s customer service could use some tuning up. Right now they are only offering live chat and e-mail support.

To reach the live chat feature, you first have to message with a virtual assistant, which can be a bit of a hassle if you’re in a hurry.

Disappointingly, there is no helpline for users to call for pressing matters. With the backing of a major company, it is a little surprising that they fail to offer users this service.
