Most innovative apps for UFC betting
Sports betting is a huge industry around the world, but it has only just started getting a real foothold in the United States. Until it was struck down in 2018, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) made it almost impossible for people to place bets on sports outside of Las Vegas and a few other exceptions.
Now that individual states are beginning to legalize sports betting, it is growing in popularity every day. Football and basketball are two of the most popular sports to bet on, but interest in betting on UFC is growing. The increasing popularity also means that there are more and more betting apps appearing that cater to the UFC betting market.
Using a bookmaker guide to find predictions, odds and spreads on UFC from sportsbooks across the United States, can help you find the best value picks. World Sports Network also provides information on upcoming fights, hot discussion topics and all the updates that could impact your betting decisions. Since sports betting is still not legalized all across the United States, WSN.com can also give you information on the laws and regulations in your state so you can bet comfortably.
With all that in mind, here are some of the most innovative apps for placing your bets on UFC fights:
BetMGM
BetMGM is one of the biggest and most respected sports betting sites. This trust is partly because it is linked with MGM Casinos. This means that there is decades of experience in running gambling and betting operations behind the app, which results in a smoothly running app and a great user experience.
If you’ve got your eyes on the biggest upcoming matches, BetMGM also provides up-to-date news and info on the fights, instead of just offering the odds, so you can make the smartest betting decisions. The potential Tyson Fury v. Francis Ngannou bout using boxing rules but UFC gloves, could definitely be one to consider placing a bet on. The lighter gloves could throw Fury off, while the stricter boxing rules could seriously hamper Ngannou, making it hard to predict a winner.
DraftKings
DraftKings got its start as a site for betting on fantasy sports. They were founded in 2011 and have become the main sportsbook for fantasy sports. In recent years, they have branched out into betting on real sports. Of course, there were some growing pains as they made this transition, but as of today, they are one of the best and biggest sportsbooks.
One of the best things about DraftKings is that they aren’t just limited to sports betting. They also offer a wide range of traditional casino games, like slot machine games, poker and blackjack. If you ever get too stressed out watching the live updates to see whether or not your bet has paid off, you can take a break by playing a hand or two of poker.
BetRivers
Like BetMGM, BetRivers grew out of a traditional land-based casino — the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As soon as sports betting became legal in the state, the Rivers Casino embraced it and created a designated sportsbook area that includes two 50’ x 7’ LED monitors, 24 flat-screen monitors and six betting windows. It is a sports fan’s dream. If you can’t make it to Pittsburgh, the BetRivers app is the next best thing.
One of the biggest draws of BetRivers is that you can watch the fights streamed live in the app itself. You don’t have to jump back and forth between the app and a streaming site, you can do it all in one place. This convenience is amazing and makes it even easier to keep track of the bets you’ve made. Alongside this, they also have an intuitive and fun user interface.
SugarHouse
SugarHouse is another sportsbook that has its roots in Pennsylvania. Originally based in Philadelphia, the SugarHouse Casino was built on the site of a sugar refinery — which explains the slightly girly-sounding name. They recently moved their operations to New Jersey so that they could provide their customers with a wider range of options and greater access to online sports betting offers.
One of the most innovative elements of the SugarHouse app is the bet slip. A lot of times, placing a bet through a sportsbook app can be a bit confusing — you’re expected to do a bunch of mental math to figure out the potential payouts. At SugarHouse, you can enter either the amount you want to bet or the amount you want to win, and they’ll do the math for you. This takes the guess work out and clearly shows you what the risks are before you put any money down.
