Mobile Experience
We've encountered plenty of online sportsbook mobile apps. We must say, FOX Bet has one of the nicest, most well-polished ones we’ve seen.
At the top of the app, there is a series of logos representing the ball used in each sport. These act as filters and upon clicking on a particular sport, it will pull up all the games for that sport and usual odds on things such as moneyline, totals and spread.
Below that, there are more wagering options, but not exactly focused on sports. There is a live betting section the futures betting section and FOX Bet’s “#CustomBet” pool. Again, depending on your selection, the games for that sport will appear.
As you continue to scroll down the page, you will notice at the bottom of the screen, there is a button for sports, and a link to access your account instantly.
There is a betslip logo that hangs out near the top-right corner of the app, and it will populate with the number of potential betting items you have, highlighted in red.
Once you click on it, you can go where to wager on the game with whatever amount of cash you desire.

Betting Odds with FOX Bet
As mentioned the betting odds on certain things such as moneylines can be a bit high in some places. However, overall, there is plenty here to help overlook that, including custom bets. Varying odds at sportsbooks could possibly mean that some teams are getting more heavy action on the site than competitors.
Betting Features
In addition to live betting, cash out options and the custom bets section, FOX Bets has quite a lot to choose from.
- Live Betting: You guessed it! The games are going on, but the sportsbook will still take wagers, but the game could challenge rapidly, at the drop of a hat, so be ready to fire the bet away.
- Cash Out: This allows players to abandon a bet and keep a percentage of your original bet.
- #CustomBets: This is something that could really get the ball rolling in a positive direction. Here, there are, well, custom bets. This list can always be updated by you logging onto FOX Bet’s Twitter account and tweeting them a suggestion.
Current Promotions
- Monday’s Featured Bet: Odds are increased for Monday Night Football games.
- Thursday’s “Can’t Lose #CUSTOMBET: Cousin Sal from FOX will make up a bet and FOX Bet will give it odds. If Sal’s bet is no good, you will get back up to $25 as bet credit.
- Sunday’s Featured Super Boost: Colin Cowherd, a TV personality for FOX Bet is involved in this promotion. He will pick five against-the-spread NFL picks, if he has a winning week, you will double your money.
Customer Support
You can find all the customer support info by clicking on the “Account” logo at the bottom of the screen, and then from there, clicking on “Help”. Here, you will find the contact information, but unfortunately it appears to just be limited to an email-type form to fill out.
Don’t worry, it’s fairly easy to assume that more methods of customer support in the distant future, too.
Responsible Gambling Features
Once again, going back to “Account”. There is a “Responsible Gaming” logo. This page is broken down into eight different categories:
- Responsible gaming
- Restrict playing time
- Exclusion period
- Restrictive spend limit
- Restrictive deposit limit
- Restrict Withdrawal Cancellation
- Restrict Sports Stake Limit
- Player Protection
FOX Bet could have easily just thrown out a couple organizations and hotlines to get in touch with, but that’s not the case whatsoever. There are plenty of dedicated information for each of the steps above.
Our Verdict
There are some things we’re not totally keen on. These include customer support, no PayPal and sometimes the odds can be a bit higher.
FOX Bet is relatively new. It’s important to remember that. More support systems and PayPal can always be added soon, but this app and the interactivity with it is flawless. You have got to check out the newly branded FOX Bet online sportsbook on the mobile app.
