The bet tracking feature does not offer the ability to place bets directly on Prime Video.
In addition to tracking personal bets, an immersive Odds View experience (available on supported devices) can be activated that presents a rotating feed of live odds, lines and probabilities associated with popular bets, including moneylines, spreads, totals, player props, parlays, game props, and more. The overlay adds context to the game and highlights how players and teams are performing relative to betting markets.

The bet tracking feature is optional and can be disabled in the Prime Video mobile app settings. FanDuel is deeply committed to promoting responsible gaming and has developed comprehensive tools to help our customers set appropriate limits and engage safely with our platform.
