Question 1

Is Bet365 or DraftKings better for live in-play betting?

Accepted Answer

Bet365 — by a clear margin. Bet365's live in-play UI is the fastest in US-licensed books with deeper in-game market menus, especially during NBA scoring runs and soccer/tennis matches. DraftKings' live in-play is competent but lags Bet365 by 10–30 seconds on price updates during volatile windows.

Question 2

Which is better for NFL betting — Bet365 or DraftKings?

Accepted Answer

DraftKings, decisively. DK has the deepest NFL prop menu in US sports, broadest SGP coverage, and earliest NFL line posting. Bet365's NFL prop depth is meaningfully thinner — they're still catching up to DK / FD on US-sport-specific markets. For NFL volume, DK is the default.

Question 3

Which has better soccer and tennis coverage?

Accepted Answer

Bet365, by a wide margin. Bet365 has the deepest soccer market depth among US-licensed books (30+ leagues, Asian handicap competitive with Pinnacle) and the most thorough tennis coverage (all Grand Slams + ATP / WTA / Challenger / ITF). For soccer or tennis bettors, Bet365 is the obvious primary.

Question 4

Should I use both Bet365 and DraftKings?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is the optimal US-licensed pair for sharp bettors. DK as your primary for NFL props + SGPs; Bet365 for live in-play + soccer + tennis. They cover each other's gaps almost perfectly. OddsLab's scanner picks the best price between them per individual market.

Question 5

Where is Bet365 legal in the US?

Accepted Answer

Bet365 launched in the US in New Jersey, Colorado, Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, and Kentucky, and continues to expand state by state. The US legal footprint is smaller than DK / FD / BetMGM but growing fast. OddsLab automatically filters to books licensed in your state.
