FanDuel app NJ
The regulated world of online gambling has boomed in New Jersey, mainly thanks to some excellent mobile sportsbooks. The most popular? Well that would be the FanDuel app for Android & iOS. They have been dominating the licensed download space and for many good reasons. This real wagering Sportsbook app builds on the successful platform the Daily Fantasy Sports operator already had in place.
We are going to look at the mobile app for New Jersey players in a lot more detail with our guide on the official app. Below you can see our quick download guide to get the application on to your cell for Android & iPhone. There is also a awesome mobile site for bettors to use too if you don’t want an app installed.

Features
We have always loved the clean and easy to use design on the DFS FanDuel app and we are pleased to say, much of the styling has been carried over in to the Sportsbook. The app has been available to NJ bettors for almost 12 months and whilst the design is very similar to launch, the lagging issues and slow to load pages have all been fixed. It is not easy to transition a full online Sportsbook in to a mobile app interface, but FanDuel have executed this perfectly. It just works. It is quick, stylish and reliable. The Android app and iPhone & iPad app are identical in terms of looks and function so don’t panic, you are not missing out on any features.
Looks wise, we are impressed. The design is so clean and uncluttered. New bettors or experienced punters will love the simple layout and how easy it is to navigate around. There are 2 menus on the app, one at the top of the screen to show LIVE wagering opportunities, Promos, then the most popular sports which are MLB, NFL, Tennis, Soccer, Odds Boost & PGA. Located int he bottom menu is the full A-Z of Sports, Betslip access, Casino (Betfair access) and Account. Within the A-Z you will also find a handy Betting guides, T&C’s, Support and Responsible gambling info. If you are new to sports betting, check out the Betting Guide first to give you a heads up on how to bet, what to look for and some handy betting hacks.
What sets the app apart from the competition? Well there are a lot of things we love with this online book. Like any good bookmaker that wants to keep you betting, they need to have a range of features to enhance your wagering experience. Cash Out is one such tool and is available on the app. This feature allows you to settle a bet before the game ends to either lock in winnings or cut your losses. When using Cash Out the ball really is in your court.
In Game wagering is becoming really popular with bettors now and of course, it is available with FanDuel. You will find that the Vig is usually higher for in-game bets but to be fair, this is the case for all books. There is a good range of in play/in game props available like next touchdown scorer, alternate totals and parlays. Soccer fans won’t be disappointing with the in action betting either as you will find markets on final score, leader at each half, goals scored, and several others available to bet on. the In Game wagering is one of the best we have seen with any regulated Sportsbook. It is fast to update and very easy to place your bet.

The Odds Boost option is located in the top menu and the place to head to see boosts for the big games happening. Boosts can happen across the majority of sports and are definitely worth having a glance at to see if you want to back anything. Parlay Insurance is also available with some bets so you can bet and not lose everything should your bet not land.
Lines and odds update very quickly, as do scores when using the app. Actually placing your wager is easy to do too. Just find the market you want to bet on and tap the odds box to add it to your betslip. Add in your stake and press Place Bets button and your done. Keep track of all your wagers in the account section. In here you can update your details as well as seeing your full bet history.
What could be improved on the app?
On the Sportsbook side of the app………….not a huge amount can be improved. We love the design, simplicity and ease at how to use it, but we would love to see visuals on games. A little live ticket and graphic to show what is happening like they get over the pond in Europe………It will be here one day. We would like to see more markets offered up in the future and our major gripe, with all regulated US books is the lack of live streaming. Yes this is a big issue that will one day be addressed but the live streaming of sports is handled by such big media companies, it may be a long time before its available.
Casino access to sister company Betfair is enabled on the app. Whilst this is just a link to the Betfair casino platform, we would love to see the full suite of games integrated in to the app.
