Verdict
Across our scoring rubric, bet365 edges theScore Bet with a 4.7/5 rating versus 4.4/5. bet365 is the global leader in live betting and that translates directly to its Colorado product; cash-out is fastest in the market, the Edit Bet feature lets you adjust open wagers, and live coverage extends into international football, tennis and cricket markets that no US-built operator matches.
Best move: try both. Welcome offers are one-time, so claiming each operator's promo lets you compare apps with real money before settling in.
