Betr Review

Betr Summary

Betr, a sports betting app created by Jake Paul and Joey Levy, is revolutionizing the industry with its focus on “microbetting” – wagering on specific moments in a game rather than just the final score. Similar to prop bets, these wagers are made in real-time and quickly settled. Jake Paul, a prominent social media influencer, sees microbetting as the next big thing in sports betting, likening it to the impact of Tiktok on social media. As a co-founder of Betr, Paul is excited to introduce this innovative concept to a wider audience.

Betr is currently in a free-play Beta mode and is scheduled to launch for real money in Ohio on January 1, 2023, with plans to expand to other states in the near future. However, the app’s current marketing approach seems to be geared towards a younger audience, with its bright colors, flashy logos, and simplified language. Betr appears to be targeting inexperienced bettors and casual sports fans.

Betr Quick Facts

Betr Locations

At present, Betr does not have any physical stores, but the app can be used anywhere in the United States. It is currently only available in play-money mode in most states, but users have the opportunity to win real prizes by converting the app’s tokens into cash. Betr recently hosted a contest on its free-play portal, giving away a new Jeep Wrangler as a way to generate excitement for the app.

Betr is expected to compete for a position in the newly legalized sports betting market in states like Kentucky, where sports betting will be available starting on September 28, 2023. Look out for promotions from Betr as sportsbooks begin to offer Kentucky sportsbook promo codes.

Sports Leagues to Bet On

Betr provides betting options for a wide range of professional and college sports, allowing consumers to place bets on every aspect of the game, from the overall outcome to the smallest details.

NFL Betting

Betr features the leading choice in the betting market across most sportsbooks, prominently displayed on their platform. Along with traditional moneyline, spread, and total markets, Betr offers a unique “RequestABet” section with precise-score markets, player props, and single-game parlay options for higher odds. Users can easily find boosted plays with the “Odds Boost” wagers featured in the main betting navigation.

NBA Betting

The NBA operates at a quicker pace compared to the NFL, resulting in differing markets for users to navigate. It is important for users to closely follow the games they are betting on. NBA bets can be placed on various time increments such as halves, quarters, or even per possession. These bets are only available during breaks in the game and are temporarily suspended during live action, providing an exciting and fast-paced experience for NBA enthusiasts.

College Football

Just like its NFL options, Betr offers team microbets for every FBS game, including those from power-five conferences as well as Mountain West, Sun Belt, and AAC games. While player-based microbets are not currently available in New York where I have used the app, they may be offered in other states where college player props are allowed.

College Basketball

College basketball moves at a rapid pace, comparable to the NBA. Similar to professional basketball, it is important to closely monitor college games while placing microbets. Betr provides markets for almost every power-five basketball game, including options like “Next Field Goal” bets, where users can choose between a two-point or three-point field goal for slightly higher odds.

NHL Betting

Betr provides markets for all NHL games, but keeping up with the fast pace of professional hockey can be challenging. For easier tracking, bettors can place wagers on whether a goal will be scored within a specific 10-minute period with the “Goal scored at listed time” bets.

MLB Betting

MLB provides a wide range of microbet markets, allowing users to bet on the outcome of every half-inning, at-bat, or even every pitch. Betr usually requires users to wait until lineups are officially announced three hours before game time before opening their MLB markets. In September 2022, Betr even offered pitch velocity Over/Unders for select contests.

Other Sports Leagues

It is understandable that Betr does not offer professional soccer as one of its markets. The continuous flow of soccer does not align well with the microbetting model, unlike the start-and-stop action of other professional leagues like football and baseball. The absence of combat sports on Betr’s platform, given the background of its co-founder, is also unexpected. However, this may change as the platform expands after its initial launch.

Online Betting Experience 

The Betr website serves as a gateway to introduce users to the platform and encourage them to download the app. Taking advantage of the quick satisfaction approach of popular social media platforms such as Tiktok, co-founder Jake Paul has personally created content to promote the product.

Website Experience

The Betr website has a sleek, dark, and modern design that is clearly aimed at a younger generation of sports bettors. Above the scroll line, there is a full-page ad to download the app, indicating the main objective of the site. Below the scroll, users will find a concise explanation of microbetting, links to Betr’s social media accounts, and a extensive list of media coverage and editorials endorsing the product.

Mobile Betting and Betting App

Betr is the perfect app for new and novice users thanks to its clean user interface and easy navigation. However, veteran sports bettors may find the “multiplier” payout formulas confusing compared to traditional sportsbook odds. Just keep in mind that a 1.90x multiplier is equivalent to a -110 bet, not a +190 bet.

The app interface features a top menu with all available leagues, each divided by game, conference, or league in the sub-navigation. Users can easily access their current bets with just one touch, ensuring they can keep up with the fast pace of games and wagers.

In the beta version, players are given coins that can be exchanged for real money as they progress to higher levels. When the full version is released, players will be able to view their account balance instead.

Live Betting

The majority of microbets are made during live games, with users placing bets on specific periods, drives, or plays. These bets are usually separate from the overall outcome of the game and focus solely on immediate events.

Casino, Poker, & Other Gaming Options

Betr has recently entered the industry with the launch of its app. While currently only offering one gaming option, it is likely that Betr will expand its offerings and further establish itself in the market.

Betr History

On September 1, 2022, Betr introduced its mobile app as a free-play beta. Levy and Paul, creators of SimpleBet in 2018, joined forces to secure funding for the launch of the Betr app. They successfully raised $50 million from investment firms and celebrities. The app is now available in all 50 states for free-play, with plans to introduce real-money betting starting in Ohio and expanding to other states gradually.

Customer Ratings & Reputation

Betr has garnered mostly favorable feedback on both the Apple Store and Google Play, although a small number of users reported a login problem in mid-September 2022. However, it seems that this issue was promptly addressed, as indicated by the timestamps of the reviews and the responses from administrators. The majority of reviews highlight Betr’s user-friendly interface and straightforward design.

However, the bulk of the negative reviews focused on the absence of traditional sportsbook content. Despite this feedback, it seems that Betr has no intention of adding traditional spread or moneyline markets, and will continue to focus on their microbetting exclusive platform.

Customer Service

The Betr help page includes a search function for users to find answers to common inquiries. Additionally, users can expect a response within 72 hours by submitting a ticket through the provided email address, or by reaching out via Twitter. While their customer support options are currently limited, there is potential for expansion once they are fully operational.

Why Choose Betr?

Betr has revolutionized in-game betting by focusing solely on microbetting. With a user-friendly interface dedicated to immediate gratification, Betr has tapped into a niche market that few others have successfully explored. While larger companies like DraftKings have experimented with similar concepts such as “Flash Props,” Betr’s platform makes it simple and efficient for users to place bets and receive results in real time.

This platform is perfect for beginner bettors who prefer lower limits and are seeking some extra entertainment while watching sports. While analyzing Sean McVay’s plays or Jacob DeGrom’s pitching speed can enhance the experience, it may not be favored by more experienced bettors.

The promotions and giveaways offered by Betr have already caught people’s attention. Users are eagerly anticipating to see if Betr can deliver on the hype.
