Bet365 is one of nine sportsbooks now live in Missouri. As one of the biggest and most popular online sportsbooks in the world, it has plenty to offer. Most notably, it boasts one of the largest sports betting markets, covering all major American and international leagues as well as a wide range of niche sports. It also offers a solid welcome bonus of $365 when you stake at least $10 on your first bet, win or lose.
However, Bet365 faces strong competition from brands such as BetMGM, DraftKings and FanDuel. For Missouri residents, the variety of top-tier sportsbooks is great — but it may also be confusing for players who aren’t sure which platform to choose.
So, is this the best sportsbook for you in the Show-Me State? Here’s how Bet365 compares with other leading sportsbooks in Missouri.

While Bet365 ranks among the top sportsbooks internationally, DraftKings is more widely used in the US. DraftKings launched in 2012 as a daily fantasy sports platform, while Bet365 entered the US market in 2019.
As one of the biggest global sportsbooks, Bet365 offers deeper market coverage than DraftKings. It covers more sports and betting markets, especially international leagues such as global soccer, and excels in niche sports. It also offers stronger live betting options — one of its biggest overall advantages. DraftKings, by comparison, focuses primarily on major US leagues such as the NFL, NBA and MLB and remains well known for fantasy sports.
DraftKings outperforms Bet365 in promotions, withdrawals and app design. It offers more frequent bonuses, including daily odds boosts, while Bet365 provides fewer ongoing promos. DraftKings also processes withdrawals within 24 hours across multiple methods; Bet365 is typically slower. DraftKings’ app is sleek and highly responsive, while the Bet365 app, though compact, is generally considered less refined.
Bet365 vs. FanDuel Sportsbook
FanDuel is more popular in the US than Bet365 — and more popular than most other sportsbooks in general. It leads in user experience thanks to its mobile app, widely considered best-in-class for speed and ease of use. The Bet365 app is polished and professional, but its design is bulkier and more complex.
Beyond app quality, Bet365 outperforms FanDuel in market coverage. FanDuel focuses primarily on North American sports, while Bet365 offers extensive international options. Bet365 also has a more robust live betting platform and broadcasts more events through its live streaming feature. Odds on both platforms are generally competitive.
Bet365 lags behind FanDuel in bonuses and promotions. While both offer strong welcome bonuses, FanDuel provides more regular promotions for existing users. Neither sportsbook has a traditional loyalty program.
Bet365 vs. BetMGM Sportsbook
Bet365 stands out for its deep market coverage and world-class live betting tools. It excels in international sports such as soccer and rugby and offers extensive coverage of niche sports. Users can also watch select matches in real time through its live streaming feature.
BetMGM, by contrast, focuses more on major American sports — especially the NFL, MMA and golf. It also has a solid live streaming platform, though with fewer international broadcasts.
Both platforms offer well-built mobile apps, but Bet365’s app is generally sleeker and smoother. It ranks among the top sports betting apps globally. BetMGM’s app features an elegant, casino-inspired design but can run slower at times.
BetMGM offers bigger and more frequent bonuses than Bet365. New users receive up to $1,500 in bonus bet insurance, compared with Bet365’s $365 bonus. BetMGM’s MGM Rewards loyalty program also allows players to redeem points for real-world perks — something Bet365 currently lacks.
Bet365 vs. Caesars Sportsbook
Bet365 clearly outshines Caesars in market coverage. While Caesars focuses heavily on American leagues, Bet365 offers extensive coverage of international sports and more live betting options. It also streams more games. However, Caesars provides GameTracker, an innovative tool that simplifies in-play betting.
Caesars is the stronger platform for bonuses. It is known for regular 100% profit boosts and offers a loyalty program with rewards redeemable for real-world perks at Caesars Palace properties, including hotel stays and dining. Bet365 has fewer ongoing promotions and no formal loyalty program.
Both platforms operate in multiple states, but Bet365 — as an international newcomer — is available in fewer states than Caesars. This may limit accessibility for frequent travelers who like to bet on the go.
Bet365 vs. Fanatics Sportsbook
Bet365 has far more experience than Fanatics, and the difference shows in market coverage. Fanatics’ offerings remain more limited and are focused mainly on American sports. Bet365’s market depth — especially internationally and in niche sports — is unmatched. Still, Fanatics is rapidly expanding its catalog as a newer sportsbook.
Interestingly, Fanatics outperforms Bet365 in several other areas. It is more generous with promotions and currently offers the largest sportsbook promotions in Missouri. Fanatics also provides more ongoing promotions. While Bet365 lacks a loyalty program, Fanatics uses FanCash, which players can redeem for merchandise such as authentic sports apparel.
Fanatics also offers a smoother, more modern mobile app due to its mobile-first design. Bet365’s app is still polished and highly reliable, but Fanatics offers a more contemporary experience.
Missouri bettors should use more than one sportsbook today
Bet365 is a great sportsbook, but no single platform offers everything. Each sportsbook has its own strengths, so it often makes sense to use more than one. And there’s nothing stopping you from registering with multiple online sportsbooks to take advantage of their different features, odds and promotions.
