### 3/5 — Sold to FanDuel “Partnered”

*2026-03-21, version 1.7.0*

Sorry “partnered,” but you can’t even place bets on the Oaklawn Sports app anymore… it’s only FanDuel now.

I understand y’all don’t control the rules set by the state or the licensing around sports betting in Arkansas. Still, it’s frustrating to see a local option fade out while everything shifts to a big-name platform like FanDuel.

There were definitely other paths that could’ve been taken without partnering up with a major sports betting corporation. Options that could’ve kept things more local, more accessible statewide, and still generated strong revenue for Oaklawn and state taxes.

### 1/5 — Fraude

*2025-08-31, version 1.7.0*

La aplicación no me permitía hacer una apuesta por fondos insuficientes, pero al final del juego mi apuesta estaba recibida, esto ocurrió una vez el resultado estaba definido, por lo que no me permitió ni confirmar mi apuesta ni sacarla, estoy seguro que si ganaba la apuesta no habría recibido el premio, esto ha sido un robo disfrazado de problema técnico donde la aplicación se asegura de salir ganando en todos los posibles resultados

### 3/5 — Location glitch

*2025-08-19, version 1.7.0*

Love the app, but last month or so, it glitches when opening the app. It’ll force a location verification screen prior to the app loading and once it verifies you are in state. The login sends an error code. Forcing app deletion, phone restarts and contacting CS for help. Only to do the same steps again and maybe change your password also. Needs fixed asap.

### 1/5 — Log you out when winning

*2025-08-14, version 1.7.0*

Several times now they log me out, without the ability to log back in, when I have a parlay in the winning column and am able to cash out. That take the cash out option away by logging you out. Several times this has happened

### 1/5 — Bots are reviewing

*2025-06-26, version 1.7.0*

No way this app has 1,000 reviews. Oaklawn other apps have a handful of reviews only.

### 1/5 — Can Login 30% of the time

*2025-06-13, version 1.7.0*

Can barely log in, I keep getting connection errors that I have never had before. I’ve been using this for almost a year now. Never had this issue. The only time I can login is if I redownload the app. Please fix this. Insanely broken app.

### 1/5 — Terrible. Terrible odds. App constantly crashes.

*2025-06-05, version 1.7.0*

Getting really tired of this app. It crashes constantly. I’ve deleted and downloaded it again, it’s up to date. It does it on both my iPad and iPhone 16. It also won’t confirm my location all the time and won’t let me log in. I’ve lost money because of the glitches.

### 1/5 — Location Service Issues

*2025-05-18, version 1.7.0*

constantly being told that location verification failed when i’ve been in and out of the app multiple times a day. issue seems to be most common when i have a bet in which is extremely frustrating because i have to delete and redownload the app everytime i want to check on my slip. will be deleting as soon as my current slip is settled customer support seems to be no help with this.

### 1/5 — Severely limited my bet amounts

*2025-05-02, version 1.7.0*

Apparently I was winning too much exploiting bad odds on player props and now they won’t let me bet more than like 8 dollars after I could bet 100s before. Unethical.

### 1/5 — Betting odds

*2025-04-14, version 1.7.0*

Don’t use this app isn’t worth it you can take something with really good odds and when you go in to look at your winnings they done dropped your odds for payout! Trash app I’ll stick to Saracen they’ve never done me wrong!

### 1/5 — Crooks

*2025-03-21, version 1.7.0*

They took the option off to cash out current bets otherwise I’d cash out all my bets and be done. I had a bet for a #12 seed team to win a game and Mcneese won on the first day but they marked my bet as lost then closed it out. How can you close a bet like that when a 12 seed team not only won but there was still another day left in the round of 64! These people are crooks and it’s the Arkansas voters fault because of the law passed that only these in-state crooks can provide betting apps. So we are stuck having only a couple of sports-books in AR. This one won’t get any more of my money at least

### 1/5 — App constantly crashes

*2025-03-02*

Getting really tired of this app. It crashes constantly. I’ve deleted and downloaded it again, it’s up to date. It does it on both my iPad and iPhone 16. It also won’t confirm my location all the time and won’t let me log in. I’ve lost money because of the glitches.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-02-10, version 1.7.0*

Truly an awful, buggy app. Currently cannot login to my account due to their server issues. Avoid this app like the plague

### 1/5 — i’m angry

*2025-02-08, version 1.7.0*

trying to sign up and it’s saying my 20 digit password generated by my password manager is not valid. we need uppercase, lowercase, number, special char but only 10 chars total required.
ok that’s not how password security works but Ok. my password is more secure but u won’t allow it ok.

Ok, but that’s fine. i’m a chill dude. i can take the extra minute to make my password less secure for you. so now i do that and add all of ur special chars. ok but same thing not valid and now i can’t make a valid password no matter waht. and now i can’t sogn up. ok. thanks

i just cannot sign up it is literally impossible. i’ve brute forced every possible password less than 64 chars at this point . this must be a bug introduced recently how have they not noticed 0 NEW SIGN UPS IVE TRIED THE WEBSITE AND APP HOW BAD CAN YOU BE AT THIS

i want 5% LTV of new signups for nxt 2 weeks for finding bug

and now i’ve wasted 20 mins of my life.

EDIT: 
you can’t use “_” char i think.
anyways, starting off on a bad foot. i’m here to bankrupt the company now

### 2/5 — Good for the bare minimum required of a sport book

*2025-02-04*

You can bet and the book offers most picks that big books have but your basically screwed if you wanna live bet and don’t even think about the promos because they are usually non existent or absolute trash. Good for being the only legal option however their are many other much bigger and a thousands times better books in other legal states. Arkansas is so behind

### 1/5 — ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION

*2026-03-10, version 1.7.0*

Good lord guys, it’s literally 2026 and we still can’t get a simple app to consistently work? App currently has a glitch that won’t allow you to make a single bet and give you the notification saying “your bet can’t be combined with other bets” when it’s the only bet I have lol unbelievable stuff. And this happens constantly, it’s always something with this horrendous app. It’ll only get worse now that they’ve sold out to Fan Duel. LOL

### 1/5 — bad app

*2026-02-08, version 1.7.0*

bad app

### 1/5 — Don’t offer all games

*2026-02-03, version 1.7.0*

Oaklawn doesn’t offer near the games other books do , their live betting they pick and choose unlike other books. They also shutdown the cash outs whenever it suits them. Better books out there.

### 1/5 — So the app states it hasn’t been updated in a year yet they go and remove certain withdraw methods

*2026-01-19*

This company really had the audacity to silent remove the withdraw to bank method resulted in hundreds of wasted dollars. I’m currently seeking legal action for the fraudulent/shady business tactics, the fact that they would even attempt to do this without first informing the consumer is beyond comprehension. THIS APP AND COMPANY WILL HAVE HELL TO PAY WHEN I’M DONE WITH THEM. DO NOT DOWNLOAD, SARACEN IS SO MUCH BETTER.

### 1/5 — App stinks. Funding stinks

*2025-12-20, version 1.7.0*

Really never got to try this dumb thing because it first would not let me fund, and second can’t log in.  Worthless

### 1/5 — Terrible App Experience

*2025-12-08, version 1.7.0*

This is a review of the app, not the betting service. It’s absolutely terrible from the log in system, to navigation. It’s no where close to being on par with industry standards for betting apps. We have a lot of restrictions here, so we don’t get options unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Choose another one

*2025-11-21, version 1.7.0*

This is the worst app ever for me!!
It’s soo frustrating trying to place a bet on here. The app little refreshes itself every 10 seconds or logs me out and have to log in every time and no help at all. If they don’t fix this issue, I won’t be using it again!!!!

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2025-11-09, version 1.7.0*

I never write reviews but I had to, the customer service is basically non existent. If you forget your password or have any issues your just screwed they will not answer and you’ll be out of your money so deposit at your own risk

### 1/5 — Choose someone else

*2025-10-17, version 1.7.0*

Don’t do it. I made a small wager on Glasnow K’s and a Dodgers win that showed in my account right before game time. I checked in on it once Tyler hit his K’s and the thing was gone. All the bets I made after were still there, and the bet amount was refunded to my account. 
I reached out to customer service for an answer, but instead got a lot of patronizing responses from Rodney making it seem like I don’t know how to use the app or track my bets. I’ve been on Oaklawn for over two years, I know how this works. If you’re brave enough to do business with them take screen shots of all your bets, no matter how small. I wish I had. They just lost my business over roughly $15. Saracen here I come.

### 1/5 — Arkansas Sports betting apps

Very fast, awesome and easy to make your dreams come true so quickly get in and win 💵💵💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Ms Boyd

*2025-08-27, version 1.7.0*

This app is easy to navigate and the odds are great

### 5/5 — Greg71701

*2025-07-19, version 1.7.0*

Awesome app and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Using app

*2024-12-22, version 1.6.0*

The other “big” player has so much static in the app before you can place a bet. By far the best in hand app for consumers. And I don’t listen to the station of morons.

### 5/5 — AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE!

*2024-10-09, version 1.5.0*

The customer service is awful and it’s not the reps. It’s how the chat is designed. They want you to provide info that disconnects the chat once you get it so you have to open multiple chats just to try and get a resolution. You have to provide info as if they’ve never experienced the issue before. Amateur hour support and design. It takes days to get a supervisor to contact you. Complete WASTE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS TIME!

### 5/5 — Best sportsbetting app in Arkansas

*2024-04-27*

App is exactly like being at Oaklawn in the palm of your hands. Easy deposit, easy withdrawal. They’ve done an unbelievable job getting this app to where it is.

### 5/5 — New funding options

*2024-01-20, version 1.3.0*

I think the app should be decent now. They update the visa/master debit credit card options so you can pull money out easier.

### 5/5 — Best sportsbook app in AR

*2023-10-27, version 1.3.0*

Easily the best Sportsbook App in Arkansas!!

### 4/5 — Money Man

*2025-11-04, version 1.7.0*

I’m enjoying the App but I just got it and I’m (Fumbling) my way through ALL of the Options!!

### 4/5 — Arkansas native

*2025-06-13, version 1.7.0*

I really enjoy the flexibility and cash outs during live games if things are in your favor or going south.  I use it almost everyday which is more of a bad thing than good lol.
