Pros and cons
Betr bonuses and promotions
Betr offers a welcome bonus for new bettors looking to get in on sports betting.
Welcome offer
New users can get up to $200 in bonus bets by signing up on the Betr Picks app, depositing at least $5, and having Betr match their deposit in Betr Bucks within 72 hours. These Betr Bucks expire in 30 days, can't be withdrawn, and require users to play through their entire deposit amount before withdrawing. Bonus bets also have a multiplier one level lower than cash entries.
Remember: One promotional bonus is available per person.
Banking
The full scope of the banking options at Betr Sportsbook is still to come, but one thing is for sure — credit cards are not welcome on the platform. Bank transfers via e-wallets and cryptocurrency are likely deposit options once the real-money site goes live. Betr has committed to responsible gaming by banning credit cards, which they hope will help reduce the number of people who struggle with financial and gambling issues due to betting.
On July 17, 2023, Betr signed a multi-state deal with payment provider Paysafe to allow users to deposit using their debit cards. Betr will also be able to access Paysafe's digital wallet and eCash.
CEO Joey Levy has also stated that Betr will be the first operator to enforce deposit limits for users that are 21-25 years old. We are impressed by the measures Betr has taken to protect its users.

Key features
Our first impression of Betr was how unique it is in both appearance and feel. The thoughtful and sleek layout of the Betr Sportsbook makes it easy to identify the available features. We expect more innovations as Betr reacts to the needs of its customers.
Live betting
Live betting has become a staple of online sportsbooks, allowing users to make wagers while the game is underway. North America's top leagues, like the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB, are available for in-play betting.
Same-game parlays
Sports betting has become an opportunity for users to chase big wins and same-game parlays help amplify the expected payout. Though they significantly increase the chances of the wager going south, the ability to compound multiple bets from the same game has become a must-have for eager bettors. For example, you can bet on the Cleveland Browns to win, Nick Chubb to have over 89.5 rushing yards, and Amari Cooper to have over 74.5 receiving yards.
Daily Fantasy Sports
Betr plans to branch out from sports betting into daily fantasy sports in the coming months.
Betr Ticket
Betr launched a free-play initiative called "Betr Ticket," in which users build a "ticket" of statistical outcomes in sporting events to determine a winner. During their application for Massachusetts sports betting, this system was presented as a partnership opportunity with the Massachusetts Lottery.
Microbetting
Microbetting takes live betting even deeper, with the ability to bet on every drive, pitch, shot, and more. While traditional live betting is primarily concerned with the moneyline, spread, and player props, microbetting brings the action to individual plays. The level of engagement increases, and bettors are on the edge of their seats throughout every whistle. Betr strives to make microbetting their competitive advantage.
Early cash out
Betr's cash-out feature allows you to settle your wager and receive a payout before an event is over. The dollar amount corresponds to the current score and can be valuable in guaranteeing a victory or cutting your losses short.
Casino
Betr revealed that in addition to DFS, they hope to launch an online casino in the near future.
Betr Picks
Betr Picks is a pick em' style daily fantasy sports game in which bettors can choose up to eight players with large payout multiples (up to 1,000x) and no pushes. The game will launch soon with real money wagering. New users can sign-up with the Betr promo code 'MATCH' and score up to a $250 deposit match bonus.
Mobile experience
The Betr app is available for download on both the App Store and Google Play Store. Currently, Betr is mobile-only and is not available for desktop. The app has a user-friendly interface, which is ideal for new bettors. Navigate between sports leagues via a simple swipe and select from individual play markets with one-touch access.
Betr security and license
Betr is a safe and secure online betting site licensed by the Ohio Casino Control Commission and the Virginia Lottery. All of the pages on the site are encrypted, and the available banking methods are safe to use. Bettors must be 21 years or older to wager.

Customer service
Customer support at Betr includes a live chat feature, which a Zendesk bot services. Once the sportsbook's soft-launch period has passed, connecting with a support agent via the chat will become an option. Similarly, phone support is not presently available but will be in the future.
For now, you can search for answers to your questions on the site's FAQ pages. If you do not find what you're looking for, you can "leave a message," and the support team will get back to you. Betr also offers a support email and a website form. We found customer service responsive when we made our first queries.

Betr Sportsbook review conclusion
Betr is a market disruptor with a primary focus on microbetting. This emphasis on in-play entertainment has helped Betr carve out a defined niche in a crowded space, though the platform lacks betting variety. The easy-to-navigate platform is perfect for inexperienced users looking to try sports betting and ramp up their engagement level for Cleveland Cavaliers or Cincinnati Bengals games.
Fresh off a $50 million fundraising round from a group of investment firms and celebrities, Betr has taken its free-play beta app into the real-money world. Ohio launched first and will be a solid barometer for what Cleveland-native Jake Paul and forward-thinking Joey Levy are capable of in rolling Betr out nationwide.
