Fubo Sportsbook Review

Since launching in 2015, fuboTV has become a huge name in live TV streaming. Along with competitors like Sling and Youtube TV, fubo has attempted to offer an alternative to those looking to cut the cord and still be able to watch live sports.

fuboTV's latest innovation in the war for streaming sports fans is the brand new Fubo Sportsbook.

Fubo Sportsbook is an exciting new entrant into the sports betting market for fuboTV subscribers

Fubo Sportsbook is a one-of-a-kind offering that allows users to sync up their betting app with live games streaming via their fuboTV-connected device. This is a true innovation for live betting that could have massive effects on the way we watch sports moving forward.

However, those who aren't subscribed to fuboTV don't get quite a first-class experience. The live game trackers for non-fuboTV bettors leave a lot to be desired, and the lack of a Same Game Parlay feature handicaps how creative bettors can be.

Additionally, Fubo Sportsbook has a phenomenal sign up bonus but doesn't offer much in the way of promotions for regular users of the platform. So, you get great value for signing up for the sportsbook, but less value over time.

Overall, though, I'm impressed by what Fubo Sportsbook is offering users out of the gate. iPhone users get to use a smooth sports betting app, and every new user will get to test out all of the functionality of the fuboTV tie-in with the free trial included in the sign up bonus. I personally look forward to watching this young sportsbook grow and develop over time.

• Live Sync feature is incredible for fuboTV subscribers
• Mobile app works really well on iPhone
• Sign up bonus with free month of fuboTV lets you try the Sportsbook with all of its features

• As a new sportsbook, feels like there is a lot of room to grow
• Needs more customer support and payment options
• Lacking many regular promotions such as odds boosts and rewards programs

New users to Fubo Sportsbook are greeted with a very nice welcome offer - a $1,000 second chance bet PLUS a free month of fuboTV's streaming service, normally valued at $65!

All you have to do is sign up with Fubo Sportsbook, and make a wager of at least $1 within 30 days of claiming your welcome offer. From there, your qualifying wager will be refunded 100% in the event of a loss, or you simply get to enjoy your winnings if you win.

This part of the deal is very common and almost identical to sign up bonuses offered by competitors BetMGM and FanDuel Sportsbook. However, the free month of fuboTV is a really great value and makes this offer stand out from the crowd of other bonuses. Now, you get to try out Fubo Sportsbook in all its glory, with the integration of Live Sync with fuboTV!

How to Claim Fubo Sportsbook Promo

1. Register with Fubo Sportsbook
2. Create an account
3. Deposit
4. Wager away!
5. Claim your winnings or refunds

Unfortunately, Fubo Sportsbook's great bonus offer is tempered by limited promotions for regular users. Odds boosts, parlay bonuses, rewards programs, and refer-a-friend promotions are offered all-too-infrequently here, meaning that you get less bang-for-your-buck over time.

Competitors like FanDuel Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook, and PointsBet have done a great job of ensuring regular customers continue to see value from their investment in the sportsbook, so Fubo would be wise to follow their lead.

As a relative neophyte to sports betting, Fubo Sportsbook is only available in a few states at the time of this writing.

Fubo Sportsbook States

• Arizona (Sportsbook)
• Iowa (Sportsbook)
• New Jersey (Sportsbook)

We expect this list to grow in no time, as Fubo is throwing a lot of its weight behind this project and looking to be major players in the world of online sports betting. They have already partnered with the MLS side Houston Dynamo to secure market access in Texas, if and when the Lone Star state legalizes online sports betting and has sponsored a lounge in the New York Jets' stadium in anticipation of future expansion into New York and New Jersey.

We eagerly await seeing how Fubo Sportsbook's expansion plans continue to play out over time!

The Fubo Sportsbook app is a really great experience for iPhone users. It far surpasses the desktop experience, and in particular, allows users with fuboTV a great live betting experience as you can take advantage of the Live Sync feature.

There are some flaws. For instance, the Futures section of individual sports can be a little overwhelming as there aren't many sub-folders within that category. For instance, every NBA 'Will X Team make the playoffs?' bet is listed in the same list as Awards and Conference winners, so a little more organization would be nice to more conveniently scroll and place your bets.

iPhone users are treated to a really nice betting experience with the Fubo Sportsbook App

Unfortunately, iPhone users get to have all the fun, as there is currently no official Fubo Sportsbook app available for Android. Samsung and Google loyalists will instead have to settle for the web browser version for the time being.

This is a pretty young sportsbook still, so we hope Android users get equitable treatment as the platform matures.

• Not currently available

One area where Fubo Sportsbook could stand to improve is their banking options. Unfortunately, right now your best bet is to sync your betting account directly to your bank account and process deposits and withdrawals via ACH transfers.

If you're fine with this, it's no problem. However, many users feel a little queasy about linking their bank account directly to any online transactions, especially a sports betting account. I know that I always like to use PayPal as an intermediary to keep all of my information secure, and I think many people agree with me. This makes the lack of PayPal as a withdrawal option especially disappointing.

In the future, we hope the banking options at Fubo Sportsbook will be improved, so that depositing and withdrawing to and from your sports betting account will be seamless.

You can deposit funds into your Fubo Sportsbook with the following methods:

• Credit/Debit Card (Not in Iowa)
• PayPal
• Paysafe Card
• Paysafe Cash
• ACH
• Wire Transfer
• Sightline Play+

The minimum deposit for any method is $10 and your money is usually available in your account within minutes.

Fubo Sportsbook could definitely improve the number of payment options included. They have a number of unconventional payment options, which is nice, but could offer more than one common e-wallet.

On the plus side, the minimum requirement is average compared to the competition, many of whom also require a $10 minimum, one of the rare exceptions being DraftKings Sportsbook which only requires $5.

You can utilize the following options to take money out of your Fubo Sportsbook account:

• ACH
• Sightline Play+

The minimum required withdrawal is $10. Online banking withdrawals take 3-5 days to process, while Sightline only takes up to 48 hours.

This is an area where Fubo definitely needs to improve. Only having two options is a bit paltry, and adding PayPal to the mix would improve things greatly.

The minimum withdrawal requirement is about standard in the industry, with other sportsbooks like PointsBet and Caesars Sportsbook having an equal minimum withdrawal

Unfortunately, Fubo Sportsbook does only offers PayPal support for deposits at this time. This is a pretty glaring omission in the withdrawal category, but something that I'm sure will be corrected in the future as Fubo Sportsbook is still a pretty young product.

Similarly, SI Sportsbook did not offer PayPal support at all for the first few months of their existence either, and it was eventually added to that platform. We hope that Fubo follows that model and adds PayPal to their suite of withdrawal options sooner rather than later.

In terms of the variety of sports betting markets offered on the platform, Fubo Sportsbook covers all the bases for sports bettors, but really only the basics.

The full list of sports betting markets is as follows:

• Aussie Rules
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Boxing
• F1
• Football
• Golf
• Hockey
• MMA
• NASCAR
• Rugby
• Soccer
• Tennis

This will satisfy more casual bettors, but experienced sharps will find it a bit lacking. Imagine being able to live bet on the Darts or Table Tennis championship while streaming it through your fuboTV subscription. I'd call that a missed opportunity.

For the sports it does offer, Fubo Sportsbook also features a variety of ways to bet, including futures, parlays, and teasers. Users will note the lack of a custom Same Game Parlay Creator. An unfortunate oversight, given how popular this type of bet has become in recent years.

This feature should definitely be added in the future, as it would greatly improve the betting markets offered by Fubo Sportsbook.

Similar to how PointsBet has PointsBetting and FanDuel has the Same Game Parlay, Fubo Sportsbook's big hook is the Live Sync functionality with fuboTV. As you can see in just about any advertisement for the app, Fubo Sportsbook allows fuboTV subscribers to sync their sports betting app up with sporting events that are live on the streaming platform.

This actually works very well, and really enhances the live betting experience, allowing you to bounce around from game to game and really get in on the action as it is unfolding. This is where the bonus offering of a free month of fuboTV really comes into play as this feature is definitely the highlight of Fubo Sportsbook.

In the future, this feature could be improved even more and could potentially change the way we watch live sports forever. I, for one, can't wait to see what the future holds for Fubo Sportsbook's live betting.

Unfortunately, those who aren't fuboTV subscribers already are treated to a much more vanilla live betting experience.

Fubo Sportsbook doesn't feature much in the way of live game tracking on the app as many competitors do. This limits your idea of what is happening in games that you're not actively watching or when you're away from your fuboTV streaming device.

As a newcomer on the scene, we expect these features to be expanded upon over time, but it's a bit of a demerit for now.

Fubo Sportsbook’s customer support could use some tuning up. Right now they are only offering an FAQ, contact form, and email support.

Disappointingly, there is no helpline for users to call or even a live chat for more pressing issues. As we've stated numerous times, this is still a young product and there is a chance these features will be added as the platform grows over time.
