The online sports betting industry has exploded in recent years. For many decades, states resisted the practice, but of late, an increasing number of legislatures — including Illinois, Tennessee and Virginia — have passed bills legalising it. This tidal wave of popularity is not set to end any time soon either. Many other states have discussed following suit over the past few years and it is likely that many more places will take the plunge before the end of 2021.

Betting apps to come to Google Play

Another landmark moment in the spread of online sportsbooks across the United States came in January 2021. At this time, Google announced that it would finally allow betting apps to be downloaded and advertised on the Google Play store in 15 new countries, including: Australia, Germany, Mexico and of course, the United States.

Although the changes will not be enacted until 1 March, it really is hard to understate just how revolutionary this could prove to be for the industry. This newfound convenience is likely to lead to an upsurge in betting across the United States.

Here are some of the betting apps that will be vying for players attention when 1 March rolls around.

DraftKings

DraftKings is a popular IL online sportsbook, but this is not the only market that it serves. Founded back in 2012 in Boston, MA, it initially focused on fantasy sports — and it remains a leader in this field today. However, more recently, DraftKings has dipped its toes into sports betting. In April 2020, after some impressive growth, it became a publicly traded country and this news about Google Play is likely to lead to further success.

FanDuel

FanDuel hit the market in July 2009 and now offers a host of services. As well as providing a fine sportsbook, users are also treated to fantasy sports leagues and a bustling online casino. A turning point for the company came in 2018 when they merged with sports betting giants Paddy Power. Since then, they have expanded their sportsbook significantly and the addition of an easily downloadable mobile app is more good news for the company.

PointsBet

PointsBet currently operates in Illinois, New Jersey, Indiana and a handful of other states, all of which can expect a fantastic mobile app soon. Known for its particularly generous sign off offers and ongoing promotions, the operator also possesses an innovative PointsBetting system. Essentially, this means that the more right you are with your bets, the more generous odds will pay out.

BetRivers

BetRivers was the first sportsbook to open in Illinois and it also operates in several other states. The betting site is operated by Rush Street Interactive, who also run the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines. Despite their casino roots, BetRivers still offers a solid, sports betting experience.

William Hill

William Hill started off as a highstreet bookmaker in the United Kingdom all the way back in 1934. Since then, although they maintain some brick and mortar betting shops, a lot of things have changed. In 2012 they entered the United States’ market, starting up an online sportsbook in Nevada. Now, William Hill has a license to operate across the country. Its betting app will be coming to the Google Play store soon.
