FOX BET REVIEW
This FOX Bet review will focus on the newest brand to the wagering market in the US, including details on betting markets, information on the formation of the brand and some of the best FOX Bet promo codes available to new customers.
Who are FOX Bet?
Fox Bet Sportsbook is the latest entry into the online sports betting market.
If you’re in New Jersey, your first in line to try FOX Bet! (Other states will have to hold tight, for now…)
FOX Sports and The Stars Group are launching FOX Bet, the first of its kind national media and sports betting partnership in the United States. They will launch two products this fall including a free to play game that awards cash prizes and FOX Bet, which offers legalized online sports betting in regulated states.
The Stars Group signed a deal with Fox Sports in May 2019, launching a venture that is now FOX Bet.
FOX Bet will offer real-money sports betting and free-to-play games to USA sports bettors in as of mid-year 2019.
FOX Bet’s online sportsbook should initially closely resemble The Stars Group’s already established BetStars sports betting site, that operates in New Jersey.
Outside of branding and likely a few specific offers, both FOX Bet and BetStars products should be relatively similar.
FOX Bet have rolled out their first sign-up offer, $20 in Cash for new customers + up to $100 after your first deposit.
This means that, after you have finished signing up with, you will have $20 Fash to bet with. When you make your first real money deposit, you’ll get your deposit matched up to $100!
That should allow anyone in legal states to bet risk-free on sports straight away.
FOX Bet will host all the major sports leagues on FOX Sports, including NFL, the NBA, MLBl, and NHL, along with other international sports.
This FOX Bet review takes a look at the FOX Bet mobile wagering app, deposit and withdrawal options, and free bets for new players.
Launched in September 2018, BetStars is a product of the partnership between the Stars Group and Resorts Atlantic City.
As New Jersey’s sports betting market grows, BetStars is in the midst of a rebrand. The new sports betting site, FOX Bet, is due to a partnership between the Stars Group and the media giant.
FOX isn’t the first media company to stake a claim in the New Jersey online sports betting market. Earlier this in 2019, the Bleacher Report joined Caesars to produce content for their online sportsbook.
FOX Bet will be similar to the current the BetStars sportsbook, but with FOX Bet branding.
This FoxBet review will take a look at what we can expect to see from FOX Bet sometime later this year.
The FOX Sports – Stars Group Partnership
FOX paid a massive $236 million for a 4.99% stake in The Stars Group and can acquire a maximum of 50% of TSG in 10 years time. The current partnership deal could last up to 25 years.
As part of the agreement, FOX Sports will provide an exclusive license to TSG, allowing them to leverage trademarks of FOX Sports when it comes to online sports betting. On the other side, FOX Sports will get software integration, brand license, minimum advertising commitments, and affiliate fees.
The partnership between FOX and TSG includes real-money and free-to-play wagering products, and Ashkenazi loves the potential for cross-selling real-money customers into The Stars Group’s poker and casino. Meanwhile, the Free-To-Play product will help build a database of future sports bettors where real-money betting isn’t currently legal.
Ashkenazi likened this Free-To-Play acquisition model to the one taken by TSG’s flagship online poker brand PokerStars, although the more modern reference would be to daily fantasy sports such as DraftKings and FanDuel, which leveraged their brand awareness to dominate the US sports betting market.

This FOX Bet review will update as more FOX Bet free bets and offers are added.
FOX Bet Loyalty Program
At the least, new FOX Bet customers should be able to join the The Stars Group rewards program.
The Stars Group rewards program gives rewards based on a clients wagering amount. Online casino, poker, and sports betting platforms also share the rewards program.
The Stars Group online sites offer members virtual “treasure chests” as they reach specific milestones. There are varying levels with more and more valuable rewards on offer.
Regular betting customers can earn free bets or cash through the rewards program.
SIGN UP TO FOX BET
Opening a FOX Bet account should be simple and streamlined, and may be even easier for existing BetStars customers.
FOX Bet will use geolocation technology to ensure you’re in a legal sports betting state and approve you for betting. It’s all very simple.
Opening a new wagering account will require new customers to provide the following information:
- Name
- Address
- Phone number

- Last 4 digits of your Social Security number
You will also be asked to create a username and password and a form of authentication questions for security purposes and photo ID.

- Tap “Download on App Store” (for iOS) or tap “Get Android App” button (for Android).
- Follow the prompts to download and install the FOX Bet app.

FOX BET APP REVIEW
The Stars Group know that sports betting is more and more online and will make the FOX Bet app available on mobile browsers and Android and iOS apps.
The mobile app is now live in New Jersey for iOS and Android devices.
The apps should be similar to the main website.
Cashier and account management should be easy to use and change, with all available betting markets and contactable customer service on phone and live chat.
Android users will be required to download the app from the FOX Bet website, due to legal restrictions on the Play Store offering gambling apps.
Apple users will be able to find the iOS app in the AppStore.
If you are familiar with the BetStars mobile app, you already know what to expect as this is the very same app with a different logo on top.
For those not in the know else, the FOX Bet mobile app is sleek and intuitive as are most gambling products offered by The Stars Group. The FOX Bet app is packed full of features when it comes to in-play betting, with live stats, score updates and visual depictions of each game integrated into the mobile app.
A couple of things that could be improved are are loading times and labels. During our testing of the FOX Bet app, we found it would appear to take around 20 seconds to load with no loading screen indicators.
Unique Features –
- Hundreds of daily bet boosts to increase your potential winnings
- The new #CustomBet to pick ’em your way with personalized odds
- Promotions that offer you money back as free bets
- Betting education and picks that will turn beginners into pros
- Early cash-outs that let you to lock in winnings
This is a little confusing as it gives the impression that a game has zero betting markets when it’s actually just waiting for the page to load. There were a few times that we thought the FOX Bet app wasn’t offering markets and were just about to exit the screen when everything eventually loaded.
When we say “labels”, we mean that there are some things not labeled properly that add to confusion. For instance, viewing in-play betting markets brings up a blank screen where live stats should be shown, with message stating “Tournament not licensed” with no further details.
These labeling issues will be resolved in time, but FOX Bet do need to get a handle on the loading times right away, as there is nothing more frustrating as a sports bettor than not being able to place bets, fast. The slow loads are frequent enough to make it frustrating.
This FOX Bet review will update as new versions of the FOX Bet app are released.
LIVE-BETTING AT FOX BET
Live-betting has become an increasingly popular part of online betting in the USA.
Since FOX Sports cover many live events, expect FOX Bet to show all of the live action and have quick access to those in-play betting markets.

In-game lines should include spreads and moneylines, alternate lines, and totals points markets.

FOX BET INTERFACE

FOX Bet promotions, free to play games, and free bets will be front and center to new customers. The bet slip and bet placement and review process will be off to the side and simple to follow.

FOX BET’S ENTRY INTO THE MARKET
FOX Sports is a main-stay in the US sports industry. The Stars Group is a main-stay in the online gambling business. Both the best in their business.
Once it became clear that legal sports betting was about to explode across the USA, FOX Sports went looking for a way to get in on the action.
They found a partner in The Stars Group, who realized FOX could do for them.
FOX Bet will launch sports betting in markets where it’s legal. They will also build the brand through a free-to-play games throughout the USA, and award cash prizes to players who predict the outcome of sports games correctly.
FOX Sports CEO Eric Shanks says FOX Sports is already known to produce the best live sports entertainment in the USA. FOX Bet is another way of growing the brand in sports culture.
FOX looks at sports wagering as a potentially massive revenue stream and a way to further connect with their already huge fan base.
Stars Group CEO Rafi Ashkenazi said the partnership gives them what they really want, the opportunity to build the leading sports betting platform alongside an established brand.

How does Fox Bet compare to other online betting sites?
While FOX Bet is new, The Stars Group and its many years of experience in global online sports betting places FOX Bet at a point where they should come into the market absolutely flying.

We would not hesitate to register ASAP.
