Fox Bet Sportsbook Review & Promo Code

FOX Enters the Sports Betting Market with the Fox Bet Sportsbook App

In September 2019, Rupert Murdoch's media giant, Fox Corp, made an announcement that got everyone in the sports betting industry's attention. Fox went public with the news that a partnership had been formed between Fox Corp and The Stars Group.

This collaborative effort is targeted at the entire spectrum of sports betting, but especially at the casual bettor. It allows Fox Sports to bring a consumer base, which is millions strong, into the growing world of sports betting.

Fox Bet Sportsbook Mobile App Review

Fox Bet is not a physical brick-and-mortar sportsbook. However, under state sports betting guidelines, they must establish a casino partnership. In New Jersey, the Fox Bet Sportsbook app partners with Resorts Casino. Their Pennsylvania sportsbook license is through the Mount Airy Casino.

While in truth Fox Bet launched as BetStars in September 2018 in New Jersey, the official transformation to the existing name didn't happen until the partnership announcement in May 2019. Four months after the May agreement between Fox Corporation and The Stars Group, the New Jersey sportsbook operation became Fox Bet.

There wasn't any significant fanfare announcement in New Jersey, but at the same time in September 2019, Fox Bet launched in Pennsylvania. Future states are virtually guaranteed. The Stars Group has agreements with Eldorado Resorts and Penn National in place.

Both of these make the launch of the Fox Bet sportsbook a foregone conclusion in states such as Indiana, West Virginia, and Illinois. As additional states pass legal sports betting legislation, these same arrangements will open the door for Fox Bet.

The existing apps in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are basically identical. Both offer the same betting structure and list of available sports. Each standard betting line is posted for most sporting contests.

You can bet the moneyline, point spread, or the over/under total for games that offer these odds. There is also an assortment of entertaining prop bets and long-term future projections. On Fox Bet, you can block parlays up to 20 legs.

Certain games will have live in-game bets, plus you can occasionally find custom betting options for certain sporting events. The list of sports is extensive. All the major US professional and college games are available.

You can also be on international contests for soccer, cricket, and rugby. Individual sports such as golf, auto racing, cycling, boxing/MMA, and tennis also post odds on Fox Bet. Fox Bet also posts lines on national volleyball matches and major dart tournaments.

The software is a product of The Stars Group experience. Many of the website's features match the design layout used by the popular Poker Stars app. Fox Bet is responsive and crisp. Pages load in an instant, and it only takes seconds to fill in your betting slip as you make your choices.

The developers were also keen to make sure there was sufficient white space between sections. Developers used a wide, dark header across the top to set the feel for the rest of the pages. Icons and text are bold for casino and poker options.

Moving across the header to the right-hand side are options for standard login, plus login using a Stars Group ID number. New users will clearly see the large blue block tab for "Join". As you flow through the middle of the betting page, you'll see a true sense of professionalism.

Each page uses accent colors to its advantage. Special offers such as "Get a Boost" for available boost-the-odds bets are emboldened with a yellow highlight. Fox Bet uses authentic images in various places, different from the more common generic cartoon-style icons.

Bets are broken down in orderly, easy to search lists. You can search trending bets, view the upcoming games with pending start times, or quickly switch to in-game bets for events that are already in progress.

Possibly the most impressive visual aspect of the Fox Bet Sportsbook app is the main menu bar. It cuts across the entire page, separating the dark header with the bulk of information. It is a dark blue strip that highlights the page you are currently viewing in a vibrant lighter shade of blue.

Each sport uses a bold white text with either the professional league logo or an applicable icon. The bet slip fills out on the right-hand sidebar. Quick navigation around the Fox Bet Sportsbook app will immediately confirm the insight and ambition that Fox and The Stars Group used to build their product.

How to Sign Up for a Fox Bet Account

Opening up your Fox Bet sportsbook account mirrors most sign-up requirements for other sportsbooks and online gaming sites. The process of getting your new account started is simple. Here's how to get started, plus the information Fox Bet will ask you to provide.

• Go to the Fox Bet website and select the "Get Started Now" yellow tab in the center of the page.
• This will take you to a betting home page where you will click the blue "Join" tab in the top right-hand corner of the header.
• Here you will set up the online portion of your new account.
• Enter an email address and Stars Group ID number, if you have one.
• Create a strong password and submit.
• Check your email for a confirmation notification.
• Open that confirmation link in this email and your basic information is set.

Next, you will need to provide the following information to use the Fox Bet Sportsbook app.

- Full Name

- Date of Birth

- Physical home address

- Email address for your Fox Bet account

- Phone number (geolocation technology may apply)

- Social Security Number

• You will be asked to confirm that you are at least 21.
• There will be a request to confirm you've read and agree to the "End User License Agreement" and the "Fox Bet Privacy Policy".
• Click submit, and you're now ready to bet using the Fox Bet Sportsbook app.

Be certain to only bet on your new Fox Bet account inside the states where it is legal. Most of the time, geolocation technology will not allow you to finalize a bet outside state lines, but for your own legal peace of mind, bet in legal states only.

Also, check any restrictions for betting on games that may apply to you if you are an employee of an NCAA entity, coach, trainer, or sports official that could be restricted from betting on certain sporting events.

How to Make a Deposit on Fox Bet

Deposits into your Fox Bet account can happen instantaneously. Money in player accounts on Fox Bet is kept in separate accounts and is not used to cover operating costs. There are seven options to make a deposit.

First, you navigate to your account page and select deposits and withdrawals. If you have not previously set up a banking method, you will do that next. Simply confirm your deposit method and proceed. You can change this in the future. Here the ways to deposit money.

• Visa – While not a method for withdrawing winnings, you can use a Visa card to make a "Fast" or instant deposit.
• MasterCard – As with Visa, you cannot withdraw to a MasterCard credit or debit card, but you can use "Fast Deposit".
• Skrill – Using Skrill, you can deposit using Fast Deposit or withdraw winnings.
• PayNearMe – The PayNearMe deposit option can be used at approved retail outlets such as 7-Eleven locations.
• PayPal – Using your PayPal account, you can deposit or withdraw winnings from Fox Bet.
• Instant eCheck – This is a secure online banking transfer available for deposits or withdrawals.
• Stars Transfer – If you have a Stars Casino account, you can transfer funds from this account to your Fox Bet account to make wagers.

How to Make a Withdrawal on Fox Bet

To get access to money you will win on Fox Bet, you follow steps similar to those for making a deposit. Withdrawal requests are submitted following the same procedure on your account funding page. Select withdrawal and complete the necessary information.

The methods for withdrawal are back to your PayPal or Skrill accounts or via an Instant e-Check. There are certain Visa cards that are eligible to receive a withdrawal. Check with your banking institution first.

You can withdraw any amount of money above your original deposit amount. Most Fox Bet withdrawal requests are processed within one hour. Instant eChecks should appear in your account within 3 to 10 business days.

Money transferred into your PayPal account process in about an hour, and you should see these funds in your PayPal account within minutes of the confirmed transfer. If you change processing methods, it can take up to 48 hours longer the first withdrawal that you process using the new account.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Contact Fox Bet Support

Help and support for Fox Bet users is extensive. Unlike many websites and content providers, Fox Bet has an orderly list of possible problems ready for you on the help page. The biggest thing you see is a large blue rectangle tab to "Contact Us".

This will show you what contact options are available. However, below this tab is a list of itemized categories for your questions. You can get answers about responsible gaming, deposit and withdrawal methods, special offers, plus technical issues.

There is a search box for specific questions, plus a list of recent topics other Fox Bet account holders have asked. Many of the same frequent question categories are also part of the menu bar across the main help page header.

Fox Bet doesn't show a 24-hour live chat option, but you can contact them via email. Since even the most detailed questions are answered on the help and support page, direct contact with a representative is probably only necessary for special issues. However, help and support is an area that could benefit from improvements.

The Bottom Line on Fox Bet

Bringing one of the largest media companies into sports betting, Fox Corporation's launching of their own brand sportsbook should prove monumental. By affiliating themselves with an experienced gaming platform in The Stars Group, they established Fox Bet as a strong competitor in the sportsbook industry.

Pros

• Fox Bet transformed from the New Jersey sportsbook BetStars. It is affiliated with The Stars Group, so Poker Stars players can integrate their Stars Rewards for sports betting.
• You can join The Stars Group Loyalty Program to help earn reward points and take advantage of joint promotions.
• The website and mobile app are as crisp and clean as any sportsbook app that has launched.
• The Stars Group connections to Eldorado Resorts and Penn National almost guarantee Fox Bet to be expanded into new states as legalized sports betting spreads.
• There is immediate access to up-to-date information in the sports world via the connection with Fox Sports media.

Cons

• Live chat support and easy-access phone contact information weren't readily available on the Fox Bet Sportsbook app. Adding this feature would be an immediate improvement.
• Fox Bet offered more limited ways to withdrawal winnings that some competitor sportsbook apps.
