If the BetAmerica Indianaapp ends up being anything like its New Jersey app, Hoosiers can anticipate a sleekand straightforward experience. The NJ version of the BetAmerica app runs quicklywith no noteworthy problems or errors to report. It’s not particularlyinnovative, but it does what it’s supposed to do efficiently.

A simple navigation menuallows users to browse the various sports, view in-play betting markets and seethe latest promotions with all wagers for the current sport displayedprominently in the middle of the screen.

When a single wager is selected, it is added to the betting slip where bet sizes can be adjusted. Selecting multiple wagers adds each bet to the slip individually, where they can be combined into parlays if desired. It is also worth noting this is one of the fastest apps we have reviewed to date; tapping any navigation menu loads the next screen almost instantly.

Can You Bet On Sports In Indiana

Online Horse Racing Betting at BetAmerica

BetAmerica is rooted in horse racing betting and was active in Indiana on that front long before the legalization of sports wagering. BetAmerica Racebook is also open to Indiana residents and has operated in the US for years as one of the country’s more successful racing betting sites.

The racebook launched in 2008 and now offers racing betting to customers in most states. Horse racing fans can visit BetAmerica.com to bet on horses online from any desktop or mobile device, or get the racing version of the mobile app. Note that BetAmerica Sportsbook and BetAmerica racebook are offered as two completely separate apps.

BetAmerica is one of (if not the most) thorough racebooks in terms of track coverage. Several hundred tracks across the US and from around the world are covered and can bet on through BetAmerica.com. In addition to US tracks, BetAmerica covers tracks in Canada, France, Australia, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea and more.

How BetAmerica Racebook Works

Wagers placed online are treated the same as wagers actually placed by patrons at each track, which means you are always paid at true track odds.

The interface uses a setup that emphasizes upcoming races. All tracks with races that are due to start soon are listed prominently upon logging in, and you can click or tap the name of any track to see the racecard, odds and other details for that particular race.

Live racing video is offered free of charge for all customers and there is no need to bet on a race or even have a funded account. Unlike most other mobile racebooks, BetAmerica provides live streaming to anyone with an account. Video quality varies from poor to HD and seems to be dependent on the feed provided by the track.
