Betfred Sportsbook Availability

Iowa

Betfred took an unconventional route to the US. betting market. While most states connect through New Jersey, Betfred debuted first in Iowa. The company is licensed to accept bets in the Hawkeye State through an agreement with the Grand Falls Casino Resort, located in Larchwood, IA.

Bet-wise, Iowa is open to most wagers. In-game player props on amateur athletes (college sports, or events with athletes under 18) are one of the lone exceptions. In addition, you can’t bet on local Iowa college teams.

Colorado

Betfred launched online sports betting in Colorado on September 10th, 2020, through a partnership with the Saratoga Casino Black Hawk. An official partner of the state’s most popular sports franchise, the Denver Broncos, Betfred offers a stellar in-person betting experience at the Saratoga Casino on top of its online website and mobile app.

Colorado remains one of the best areas of the country for online sports betting. The state legalized wagering on just about everything. It offers unprecedented variety in both its available bets and markets.

Pennsylvania

Betfred joined the retail sports betting ranks in Pennsylvania in November ’20, alongside the Wind Creek Bethlehem. Online betting wasn’t far behind, hitting the market just before Christmas. Now live, Betfred PA offers action on a wide spectrum of events.

Notably, the online sports betting app and website are branded slightly differently in PA. They can be found under ‘Sportsbook at Wind Creek’, which is powered by Betfred. App downloads are available directly via the Betfred website.

Arizona

Betfred partnered with the Fort McDowell Yavapi-Apache Nation to come to the Grand Canyon state. This partnership is good news for Arizona bettors, who now have over a dozen different sportsbooks to choose from.

Ohio

Ohio legalized mobile sports betting on January 1, 2023, and Betfred was there on Day 1 as a partner of the Cincinnati Bengals. Ohio is the biggest state yet for Betfred, and partnering with the super-popular Bengals shows they are serious about being a big player in the state.

Virginia

Betfred launched in Virginia in February 2023 as part of an online-only partnership with USL soccer team Loudoun United FC.

Maryland

Betfred launched its online sportsbook in Maryland in February 2023. It has partnered with Long Shot’s OTB and will also eventually open a retail sportsbook at Long Shot’s Frederick location.

Ways to Bet(fred)

Betfred online sportsbook can be accessed through a computer or mobile device. Which should you use? It really depends on the situation. Either way, you’re in good hands.

Web Browser

The Betfred website offers a clean, spacious betting experience. It’s not the prettiest, but it gets the job done and is packed with interesting data that enriches the overall appeal.

There’s a large banner along the top of the website that rotates through with various promotional offers. Don’t just tune it out, there’s some good stuff on display that savvy bettors would be wise to utilize. Below the banner is the in-play selection. Anything that’s already underway and open for “live betting” will be displayed here. Continue scrolling and you’ll find the most enticing upcoming games and sports. Overall, it’s an intuitive layout that packs a lot of betting options on to the homepage.

The left side of the screen is permanently populated by an easy-to-read menu that helps navigate the user to all of the available markets. Once you’ve narrowed down the right bet, click it, and it will appear on the right side of the screen as a part of the bet slip. It’s all pretty straight forward, in truth. The only aspect we weren’t a fan of was the bright, pastel green ‘Place Bet’ button that appears in the bottom right. With a white font it’s nearly illegible… but works just the same.

We mentioned this above in the state breakdown, but the PA is skinned a little bit differently due to its partnership in the state. Overall, the Betfred web browser based sportsbook is rock solid. If you have a computer and want a little more screen to work with – give it a try.

The Betfred browser sportsbook is easy to use

Betfred Mobile App

Working in conjunction with the web site, the Betfred mobile app is a great product. The overall layout isn’t dissimilar from the browser version. It’s got rotating banners and promos near the top, in-play bets below it, and popular sports just below that.

In lieu of a menu on the left side of the screen, the app builds them in at the top and bottom. You’ll find a list of popular menu options, an A-Z list of sports, and some other useful choices along the top. Similarly, along the bottom there are quick links to the bet slip, trending bets, and a full list of in-play options.

You can bet on everything that the web site offers via the mobile app. Functionally, they are no different. When betting just hit the wager with your finger and it auto-adds to your bet slip. Scroll to the bottom of the app and select the bet slip option to finalize the wager, or build it into a multi-part bet like a parlay.

Apple / iOS users can find the state-specific betfred apps listed right within the app store. Direct downloads are also available through the Betfred website – just select your state.

We recommend the mobile app for any and all betters. It’s a great tool for sports engagement that travels with you. Bet from the couch, the yard, the car, or even inside the stadium as you watch in-person.

Markets are easy to find on the Betfred app

Betfred Geolocation

In addition to being aged 21+, both the web browser version of the sportsbook and the mobile app will require you to be physically present inside of a legal state in order to wager (see above for a list of legal states). If you aren’t inside these states, you can’t bet – period.

When accessing Betfred Sportsbook through a computer you will be required to download and install a geolocation plugin program for your computer to prove this condition. Using your WiFi connection, it can then accurately relay your position to the site so they can give you the green light to bet.

While wagering with the Betfred mobile app this geolocation process is a lot easier. Simply grant the app access to your phone or tablet’s location services and it can automatically tap into the built-in GPS. It’s all one seamless process.
