Mobile betting

Mobile betting will be allowed in NYS starting 9am on Saturday the 8th. Great deal for the state it will generate $10 billion and the operators and state are expected to split 1 billion in profits. NY colleges are still off limits to action in state. I assume that will be figured out in future.

You can in NJ or Vegas.

So ive been having some fun with a couple of these over the past week or so. Here are my thoughts so far:

Caesars A-

They have by far the best promotion deal. Get $300 just for signing up and a first deposit match up to $3,000. There are a few catches.

I couldn't stomache $3k so I put up $1k. Got my free bets and my match right away. However when you use it you can't use your bonus money until you play through the bonus. And there are time limits. Confused? So was I. Nonetheless after a few days of winning and losing I woke up one day to find the entire balance on the left side, the good side, all cash. So I Clicked "withdraw". For about 4 days nothing happened but once I emailed them things started moving and I got the funds.

The app itself is loaded with bet options and there are fun gimmicks that boosts the odds each day if you pick the right ones. There are also a few No brainer bet options every now and then. Overall I rate this site as an A- but after the promo period end I could easily see the grade downgraded to a C for poor customer service on withdrawals.

Draft kings B+

IMO DraftKings is slicker and easier to use. The site offered no registration bonus but did offer loads of ways to win free money like get $25 if the Knicks score a point. Yes, even the Knicks can score a point. Another promotion was hammer the over where the total for over goes down According to the number of people who bet. At kickoff the over was set at 4 points. I was lucky and had some money on the site from playing free games and was able to get a nice balance just by playing the gimmicks. I did make a deposit to get the bet $5 win $280 promotion, which I used on an easy chiefs money line. I then withdrew some of the money nearly a week later than Caesars and got the funds the same day. I highly recommend this site for the beginning sports handicapper.

FanDuel. B

Their promotions aren't as good as the other two but I was able to get my account up to $100 without making a deposit yet. They have a similar hammer feature that should get my account to $150 on Thursday. I think they are going to have to do more to compete with the other two.

I plan on trying Rivers this weekend. If you would like to sign up give me a pm and perhaps we can work out a referral for more bonuses.

Anybody else have other thoughts on the apps?

I like draft kings to bet for the fun of it and as you said very easy to use.

Papi, is this your handiwork? 😂

Papi how much of that $1.17B is attributed to you?

Update: FanDuel downgraded to "F". They failed to honor the 1,000 risk free first bet, buyer beware on that one.

Caesars however continues to impress. Just for betting $100 on NBA games, they gave me a $150 givft card to the NBA store! I used it to get a Kevin Huerter shirt and a collectible Huerter plaque.

Bet Rivers was also very easy to use and no bs $250 free money. Quick withdrawals and deposits. I would give them an A minus as they don't have as many promotions on a daily basis.

The great thing is there are so many apps to choose from im almost always never paying full vig on my action.

I'm using draft kings and am very pleased. Took out money and was in account quickly. With live betting if you're paying attention you can hedge and cover losing bets. Also the give lots of free $10 and $25 bets.
