The Leaders
Market share matters. In other words, if players are flocking to certain sportsbooks over others, there’s (usually) a reason for it. Maybe it’s brand power, maybe it’s advertising, maybe it’s the overall quality, or, maybe, it’s the bonuses.
In the case of the best NFL Sportsbook apps, it probably starts with DraftKings and FanDuel. Each are market share leaders by a considerable margin, and each have unique bonuses to kick off Week 1.

Other NFL Sportsbook Apps to Consider
Beyond the two market leaders, Caesars Sportsbook, BetMGM, bet365, and PointsBet each have awesome specials worth checking out.

The final NFL sportsbook app on our list comes from BetMGM. Its offer has a different twists, presenting a $1,500 first bet offer opportunity that will pay back any losing first wager with bonus bets. This offer is particularly impactful for a prospective user who wants to make a larger wager this weekend. For instance, let’s say someone loves Joe Burrow and the Bengals to knock off the Cleveland Browns as a small favorite Sunday. If the Browns come out hot and pull the minor upset, the bettor would lose his or her cash wager but would be spotted a return of bonus bets in the equivalent amount that can be used on the rest of the weekend slate.
