A sports betting application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to place bets on sporting events. Sports betting apps typically allow users to view game scores and stats, place wagers on upcoming matches, track winnings/losses and manage their accounts. Some sports betting apps may also include an API for third-party developers to build applications that improve the user experience.

Sports betting apps often share features with other entertainment apps like media streaming apps, online video game apps, and video rental apps. Popular examples of sports betting applications include DraftKings, FanDuel, and William Hill.

A sports betting app must differentiate itself from existing apps by providing value for users, and by attracting as many bettors as possible. Many sports betting apps give users free bets, or they offer rebates on future bets in order to attract new customers. In fact, the average user loses money when they bet on sports, which means that a successful sports betting app needs to offer incentives to entice users to sign up for the app and place bets. Once a user has signed up for the app, it's important that they be able to trust that their information will remain confidential.

A sports betting app faces legal and reputational risks related to the facilitation of gambling in jurisdictions where it is illegal. In addition, the storage of sensitive personal information from users may be subject to data privacy regulations. It is recommended that sports betting apps comply with all applicable licensing requirements for wagering in the jurisdiction in which they operate.
