US sports props (NFL, NBA, MLB)
Winner: FanDuel. Deeper prop catalogs, more polished SGPs, and the strongest US-focused product. bet365\'s US prop coverage is solid but lighter.

Mobile app
Winner: FanDuel (US sports focus). Both apps are fast and well-designed, but FanDuel is better tuned for the US market.

FAQs
Which is better in Missouri — FanDuel or bet365?
For US sports bettors, FanDuel is the stronger pick on prop depth and same-game parlays. For soccer, tennis, and international markets, bet365 is unmatched. Many serious bettors keep both — FanDuel for daily NFL/NBA/MLB action, bet365 for soccer and live streaming.

bet365 — by a clear margin. Your first bet doesn't have to win; $150 in bonus bets is credited regardless of outcome. FanDuel's $300 also pays whether you win or lose, but is split into 12 tokens over 14 days. Both are forgiving compared to DraftKings or Caesars.

Which is better for soccer betting?
bet365 by a wide margin. Deeper market depth, sharper pricing, and live streaming integration. FanDuel has good soccer coverage and the City SC partnership, but bet365 is the clear leader for international soccer.
Can I have accounts at both?
Yes. Many Missouri bettors hold both FanDuel and bet365 accounts to capture both welcome bonuses and use each book for the markets it does best.
