Puntr: A More Fun and Engaging Twist to Fantasy Sports Apps

Most fantasy sports betting apps have always been presented in a no-nonsense and a tad monotonous (and boring) way, up to the point that most users almost always just want to get their bets set and validated before promptly closing the app. Most of the time, we use it only for two purposes, the first one mentioned above and for checking game results. Indeed, if there’s one common denominator in these kinds of apps, it’s their lack of user engagement. And, don’t let us get started on those whose features and workings are hard to even try to decipher.

Introducing Puntr

With the advent of Puntr, though, this negative impression of fantasy sports apps may very well take the backseat. This is because it is one of the most captivating aspects of this app is its overall interface. Everything, to say the least, is engaging enough for most people to get a hang of it from the moment they give it a try. It excises figures and letters to make room for more pleasant imagery, and it also takes advantage of the proven effectiveness of larger fonts.

Anyone Can Start Betting for Free

You need not worry about depositing a set amount beforehand, because this app allows users to compete with no cost. Are you a close follower of the Italian football league Serie A? Then you only need to find the flag (of Italy) that connotes to this league, and you’ll immediately be presented with current games that are available for betting. The same goes for other European Leagues like France Ligue 1, Premier League, and Bundesliga, to cite a few.

Of course, a fantasy sports app is never complete without US Sports Leagues as well. Every league that has valid games (labelled as Pick’em for the Week) would be displayed for tapping, and they range from NFL to NBA to NHL and NASL. Everybody is given a chance to win individual prize pools for various leagues that they’ve chosen, besides a weekly jackpot that goes for as much as $50,000. Being able to make winning predictions for a full week guarantees better bonuses as well.

Makes Betting as Entertaining as Your Favorite Sports

Its betting interface is also one noteworthy feature of Puntr. Based on the sport you chose, you would be taken to its standard field complete with accurate lines, positions of teams, as well as the sport’s defining ball (centered).

How exactly do you bet? Well, this app proves to be as user-friendly as it is entertaining. This is because you only need to swipe up or down, towards the team of your choice, to choose your bet as to who would win. If you have an inkling that a tournament would enter a draw or overtime, then swipe to the left. Anytime you like, you can switch to the next available tournament by swiping to the right. Once you’ve decided on a pick, you only need to confirm your ticket to get it (the app allows users to change their tickets as long as they haven’t confirmed it yet). That’s pretty much how the app works.

Of course, this level of convenience and engagement is rarely found in other fantasy sports apps, which is why this is also what makes this app stand out from the rest. Take note that the app also chose to add other nifty features such as the ability to share your ticket to your friends, as well as an overview of your present winning pick ratio, current prizes, and rankings among users.
