There is a wide variety of sports wagering options to choose from on the Bet365 app. All selections are conveniently listed on the left side of the homepage. 

In addition to the United States favorites like football, basketball, and baseball, you will also find offerings like snooker and Formula 1. Here is the full list of sports available:

• Football (NFL and NCAA)
• Basketball (NBA and NCAA)
• Hockey
• Soccer (global)
• Tennis
• Australian Rules
• Boxing
• MMA
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• Esports
• Golf
• Handball
• Motor Sports (NASCAR and F1)
• Rugby
• Snooker
• Table Tennis
• Virtual Sports
• Volleyball

They will also have a number of sports offered for a limited time, such as the Olympic Games. Major sports such as the MLB, NHL, NBA, and soccer have a lot more options of ways to bet than do others like tennis or motorsports.

When the desired sport is clicked, an extremely user-friendly menu of wagering options is displayed, depending on the sport. For football, as an example, you can choose from the following wagering options:

• Lines, including spreads, over/under and moneyline
• Main Props
• Player Props
• Score Props
• Team Props
• First Half Props
• First Quarter Props
• Game Props

Within the wagering options menu, for instance, under Main Props, you’ll find 16 prop bets, including the highest scoring half, total punts, etc. Having used other betting sites, I found the possibilities for betting almost endless with Bet365.

Bet365 features in-play betting in the center of the homepage. All games, matches or events are listed, with their available lines and bets in a clean, easy-to-read format. 

By clicking on a particular event, a simulated live stream of the action populates the upper right corner of the screen, complete with up-to-the-second scores.

For instance, a baseball game live stream shows a view from behind the catcher, the pitch location, the score, ball and strike count, etc. It’s about as close to watching live-action as possible, and it’s available for every game.

Between innings, the latest statistics are shown, as well as the latest line on the game, facilitating in-game wagering. The technology and wagering opportunities are simply staggering.

Bet 365 offers a Bet Builder option on soccer, basketball (both NBA and college), and tennis. It allows the bettor to include bets from up to six different markets in a single wager with one set of odds calculated for the specific combination. 

Combining bets from different markets provides flexibility that isn’t necessarily afforded through parlays.

Cash Out is an option that offers an opportunity to take a return before the event is over. Certain bets are eligible for the Cash Out option, which allows the bettor to settle the wager before the conclusion of the game. With In-Play betting, a Cash Out figure is offered, and the bettor can choose to take the amount.

It isn’t necessary to Cash Out the entire bet if the bettor wishes to take a Partial Cash Out. In this scenario, they decide how much of the bet they want to keep in play and cashing out the rest. 

Bet365 has a sliding scale on bets eligible for Partial Cash Out, and the bettor can decide how much they want to remain at risk.

The final option is one that you can set to automatically Cash Out when the eligible amount meets or exceeds a pre-set threshold. By setting the Auto Cash Out option in the wager rules, the bet will settle out when the Cash Out amount reaches the defined amount. This is especially helpful if the bettor is a fan of the Cash Out option but can’t closely monitor the In-Play action.

There is a chat option for the Bet365 app, and I used that to test the responsiveness of the customer service for the application. The question I chose to ask was one that involved the geographic limitations of bet365. I had been allowed to establish an account despite my address and current location being outside of New Jersey.

I clicked on the chat option and was asked what type of customer I was: Existing Customer, New Customer, or I am unable to log in. Despite having an account, I selected New Customer. 

On the next screen, I was asked to supply my name, email address, and select from a “What can we help you with?” menu.

Among the several options available, I chose “New to Bet365” and expected to wait for a while for a response. Instead, I was greeted by an agent in less than three seconds. 

He identified himself and asked me how he could assist me. I responded that I wanted to know that even though I didn’t live in New Jersey, I traveled there frequently.

Would it be possible for me to place bets through the bet365 app when I was within the state’s borders? He responded that I would need to be in New Jersey to place bets, and I could do so when traveling there. 

After he asked if there was anything else I needed, he sent a boilerplate disclaimer with the requirements that all users of the site had to be at least 21 and in the state of New Jersey.
