DraftKings Sportsbook Review

DraftKings is the 800-lb gorilla of online sports betting. What was once the leader in daily fantasy sports has become the leader in legal sports betting, with more than 10 million registered users across the US.

There is no doubt DraftKings is a popular choice among bettors, but does that mean this is the right sportsbook for you? This DraftKings review intends to help you answer that question. I’ve had a funded DraftKings account for over a decade, so I feel confident in explaining how this company approaches the sports betting business, what it does well, and where it could improve.

DraftKings Overview

At first glance, DraftKings isn’t too different from other major sportsbooks. All available betting markets can be seen in the left sidebar; the lobby screen features a revolving list of active promos, and the main betting area displays the day’s trending games and wagers.

The beauty of this sportsbook, though, is in the details, so here’s my opinion of how DraftKings stands out from the pack:

• The bet slip is embedded and will “follow” your cursor as you scroll so that it’s always easy to access;
• Tons of filters like A-Z sports, Sports Teams, Playoff Pages, and Championship Pages make navigation a breeze;
• The Promotions section also has filters, as well as quick descriptions and indicators of how long each promo will remain active;

I fell in love with this sportsbook mainly because of these seemingly minor QOL improvements.

Here’s a few quick facts about DraftKings you might be interested in:

DraftKings Sportsbook Bonus and Promotions

Promotions are a big selling point for DraftKings. A massive marketing budget makes it possible for DraftKings to issue frequent promos, many of which provide excellent value.

New Customer Bonus

New DraftKings customers qualify for a simple but valuable and user-friendly bonus:

• Place your first bet of $5 or more
• Get $300 in bonus bets if your first wager wins

In short, DraftKings invites new users to place their first wager for a chance to win $300 in bonus bets. With significant upside and minimal risk, the DraftKings Sportsbook bonus offers considerable value.

However, the DraftKings bonus would be better if it wasn’t contingent on your first wager winning. If you place a bet and lose, you receive nothing. Some other online sportsbooks offer similar bonuses that pay regardless of the first wager’s outcome, but they are almost always significantly smaller (worth around $100 to $200 in bonus bets).

Overall, the DraftKings bonus has favorable terms and conditions:

• New customers only
• Bettors must be 21+ unless stated otherwise and located in Z, CO, CT, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY (18+), LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WY (18+) or WV
• DraftKings issues the bonus as twelve bonus bets worth $25 each
• Bonus bets are not withdrawable, but net winnings may be withdrawn immediately
• Unused bonus bets expire after seven days

Sport-Specific Promos

One of DraftKings’ big selling points, and one that bettors often mention on social media when discussing where to bet online, is its promotional lineup.

DraftKings always has multiple promos on offer for existing customers, usually tuned to the current sports of the season. These are often profit boosts or “no sweat” (refund) tokens, which function a bit differently from other DK bonuses, so let me briefly explain how they work:

• League-Specific Profit Boost: unlike “global” profit boosts from Refer-a-Friend promotions, you can only use these boosts on featured events. For example, the 50% NBA Profit Boost can only be used on NBA Basketball matches (and not on NCA, CBA, or any other basketball event);
• No Sweat Tokens: these promotions are usually parlay insurance tokens, offering a portion of your wager back should the selection lose. Similar to market-specific profit boosts, No Sweat Tokens are also sport-specific and can only be used on featured events;
• Stepped-Up Parlays: this is a unique form of Profit Boost that doesn’t add a fixed percentage to your winnings. The more legs of a parlay you include and win, the higher the percentage of the boost will become. For instance, the Basketball Stepped Up Parlay starts modestly at 20% Boost on 3-leg parlays and goes up to 100% on 10+ leg parlay bets.

It is not unusual for bettors to log in and find five or more open offers like bonus bets, odds boosts, and moneyback guarantees. DraftKings launches new promos often as it phases out older offers, but below are some examples of promotions it has run in the past:

• CBB/UFC Bet Boost: New users who signed up during this promo could place a $1 bet to win $100 on any college basketball game or UFC fight
• CBB Women’s Profit Boost: Get a 25% bonus on any women’s college basketball national championship 2^nd or 3^rd round bet
• UFC Profit Boost: Place a bet on the upcoming UFC card to get a 26% payout boost
• March Mania Parlay Boost: Get a 20% profit boost on any 3+ leg March Madness Round 3 parlay bet
• Summer of Soccer: Bet on three big soccer tournaments happening this summer to get a $10 bonus bet
• Daily Free-to-Play Pools: During this promotional period, DraftKings ran free-to-play March Madness pools that let users build tournament brackets for a chance to win cash prizes
• MLB 5+ Run Insurance: Get your bet back (up to $25) if your team scores 5+ runs and still loses
• Summer Fridays: Every Friday for a month, log in to DraftKings for a new offer
• Daily odds boosts: DraftKings enhances the odds on select markets every day, giving customers bigger payouts on winning bets

DraftKings Odds Boosts

Boosted odds on DraftKings come in all shapes and sizes and can vary heavily in value depending on the team, night, game, and several other factors. For example, some bettors favor parlay betting while some favor straight bets and DraftKings offers a boost or modifier for both!

As far as the types of boosts and modifiers available on DraftKings, there was an NBA promotion earlier this season for a same-game parlay odds modifier that gets bigger for each leg added! Similar to that, they featured an NFL bonus for customers betting on the Super Bowl that boosted odds for a number of first touchdown scorer bets.

Some odds boosts available (particularly for parlays) can be given based on the betting market you’re in. For example, I live in Colorado and I receive odds boosts on Denver Nuggets home games for popular parlays (as seen below).

Refer-a-Friend Program

The long-running DraftKings referral program offers up to $100 in bonus bets for every friend you refer.

Here’s how it works:

1. Log in to your DraftKings account
2. Open the account settings menu and select “refer a friend”
3. Copy your unique referral link and send it to your friend(s)
4. You’ll be credited with the referral for every friend who uses your link and signs up for an account
5. You’ll receive a 100% match of their first deposit (issued as bonus bets)

Your friends must use your personal link to visit DraftKings Sportsbook and make a first deposit of at least $25. In return, you’ll receive a bonus bet equal to the size of their first deposit (up to $100).

For example, if your friend makes a first deposit of $75, you’ll receive a $75 bonus bet. You can refer up to five friends and earn up to $500 in bonus bets through the referral program.

DraftKings Dynasty Rewards Program

One of the more confusing things about the DraftKings Rewards system is that it’s actually divided into “VIP” and “Dynasty” sections. The latter is more similar to a multi-tier VIP system complete with five levels with progressive and unique perks.

The way it works is quite simple – for every $1 you wager, you get Tier Credits and make progress toward the next tier, which include:

• Bronze: no Tier Credits required, all players initially start at this level;
• Silver: unlocked by reaching 5,000 Tier Credits, unlocks tier-exclusive contests and promos;
• Gold: unlocked by reaching 25,000 Tier Credits, expands on Silver rewards, and brings priority customer support to the table;
• Diamond: unlocked by reaching 90,000 Tier Credits, unlocks 24-7 chat support and annual Diamond Gifts;
• Onyx: the ultimate level for players who accumulate 175,000 Tier Credits. Unlocks the best versions of the aforementioned perks plus Onyx Elite Rewards.

Besides Tier Credits, you’ll also accumulate “DraftKings Crowns”. These can be redeemed for DK Dollars at a rate of 550:1, used in DraftKings Marketplace, or as tickets to exclusive contests and events.

DraftKings VIP

The VIP program can be considered the last part of the Dynasty Rewards, but unlike all the aforementioned tiers, the only way to reach this coveted status is to receive a personal invitation from the sportsbook’s business executive.

Players can request to become a VIP by tapping “VIP” from the top-menu shortcuts, and answering a few questions. That is not to say that you’ll be guaranteed to be invited if you get the answers right – only players with a long track record who’ve spent quite a few dollars on this platform are eligible.

Being a DraftKings VIP member has dozens of unique perks like access to custom promotions, exclusive events, and more.

DraftKings Sports Betting Review

DraftKings is the nation’s most popular sportsbook for a reason. A ton of marketing firepower doesn’t hurt, but DraftKings Sportsbook holds its own relative to other operators strictly in terms of bets offered, features, and promotions.

Standard features include options to buy points/bet on alternate spreads, in-play betting, flash bets that resolve within minutes, detailed pregame stats, and visual displays that show the action on the field.

Statistics and Betting Trends

DraftKings provides detailed statistics and betting trends for all major US sports. The stats and information presented here are so extensive that it’s almost like having your own data analytics tool integrated into the DraftKings app.

The stats hub provides a ton of information so you can get quick answers to questions such as:

• Which player prop bets have paid out the most often over this player’s last five games?
• In which round does my UFC fighter tend to finish his fights lately? What’s his record against fighters with a longer reach? How does he perform against southpaws?
• How often does my NFL team lose after leading at the half?
• What percentage of the time does Player A score at least once in a game? How often is he the first pointscorer? The last?

Customers can visit the odds page of an upcoming game and then select the “stats” tab to view a wide range of stats and betting information organized into five categories:

• Preview: Lists each team’s record, current odds, implied win probability, venue, average points total between these two teams, over/under record, random facts (i.e., Player X has recorded 10+ rebounds in each of his last ten games), and a ton of matchup stats that show each team’s leaguewide ranking for points per game, points against, and much more
• Player Props: Displays individual players’ stats, recommends prop bets based on past performance (i.e., wagers on this player to score X+ assists won 80% of the time over the last five games), injury updates, and integrates options to bet on specific player props while viewing stats
• Stats: Long list of betting stats that show each team’s record at home and on the road, how often they cover the spread as favorites and underdogs, how often they win by five points or less, how often they win after leading at the half, and much more
• Betting Trends: Percentage of the time each team has covered the spread, line movements, and over/under record
• Standings: Leaguewide standings and stats that show where each team currently stands in the league in terms of win records, against the spread wins, point totals, and many other stats

Early Cash Out

The Cash Out feature at DraftKings allows customers to close their bets early before the underlying event has concluded. Bettors can use the Cash Out feature to lock in some of their winnings if the game is going well or cut their losses if things aren’t looking good.

Live Streaming Video

Customers with an account balance above $0.00 can watch live streaming sports feeds through the DraftKings app or website for free.

DraftKings introduced live streaming functions merely a few years ago, but this feature is fully online now and mostly bug-free.

The main issue is that you’ll have to manually “hunt” for games that are streaming live. You’ll recognize them by a small “TV” icon next to the match; tapping on any of these selections will take you to a new screen with options and odds unique to this selection, as well as a slightly different interface.

Being able to watch live and bet at the same time through the DraftKings app is a significant advantage over most other sportsbooks. Even for smaller sports that you might not usually follow, being able to place in-play bets while you watch is a fun feature.

DISH Network Integration

DraftKings has an agreement with DISH Network to deliver the sports betting experience directly to DISH customers. DISH subscribers can access DraftKings through their internet-connected Hopper receivers to initiate wagers and schedule recordings to watch the associated game.

If you have a Hopper family receiver and a DraftKings account, you can initiate wagers through your TV. Doing so will prompt DraftKings to send a link via text message that will launch the mobile app with your bet ready for confirmation.

Predictions Pools

Throughout the year, DraftKings hosts predictions pools for the biggest sports of the season, such as NFL pools during football season and college basketball pools around March Madness.

DraftKings is the only sportsbook that regularly hosts predictions pools, many of which are free to enter and offer real cash prizes.

Participating is easy:

• Log in to your DraftKings account and visit the pools tab
• Choose your contest (some require a nominal entry fee; many are free)
• Answer 10 or so questions such as which team will win the game, who will score the first goal, whether or not an individual player will score more than X points, and so on
• Collect your payout if you answer enough questions correctly to place high on the leaderboard

Handicapping Contests

DraftKings hosts several massive handicapping contests each year, including the capstone Sports Betting National Championship.

Each championship functions differently, but they all involve making predictions or betting on sports with a fixed bankroll and competing for large payouts.

For example, the annual Sports Betting National Championship guarantees $2.5 million in prizes, including $1 million reserved for first place. Players can enter the contest directly for $10,000 or win their way in through daily fantasy qualifies hosted at DraftKings.com.

The $10,000 buyin includes a $5,000 bankroll and covers the $5,000 entry fee. The contest runs across the NFL Divisional Playoff games, and every entrant uses their bankroll to bet on those games throughout the tournament. After the final playoff game concludes, the players with the largest bankrolls win cash prizes ranging from $15,000 to $1,000,000.

Flash Bets

DraftKings introduced flash bets a few years back as an even faster-paced way to bet on sports in-game.

Flash Bets initially launched for tennis matches, allowing players to bet between points and receive instant payouts after each point. Meanwhile, an embedded graphic display tracks the tennis ball in real-time as it moves back and forth across the court.

DraftKings Odds Review

DraftKings received a fair amount of criticism in its earlier days for steep pricing compared to the competition, but it has made significant progress on that front. Today, DraftKings’ odds are much more competitive depending on the sport and types of markets.

Like other mainstream operators, DraftKings is now a middle-of-the-road sportsbook for pricing. In some sports, DraftKings is above average. In others, it still has room for improvement.

For instance, DraftKings’ college basketball moneylines are very competitive. When we compare DraftKings to other major sportsbooks, it often offers the best moneyline for at least one side of most college basketball matchups. On the other hand, DraftKings lags behind the competition on college basketball point spreads.

Its pricing on NFL games is about average, while its odds for NHL and international soccer games are above average.

In summary, DraftKings provides the best odds often enough on a wide variety of sports that it is worth adding to your list of sportsbooks to check when looking for value.

Below, we compare DraftKings NBA pricing for three games selected at random versus the odds offered by two other mainstream sportsbooks:

Game	DraftKings Odds	BetMGM Odds	William Hill Odds
Grizzlies Vs Jazz	+390 -526	+420 -588	+450 -588
76ers Vs Clippers	+143 -172	+155 -189	+165 -185
Cavaliers Vs Kings	+215 -263	+240 -303	+250 -303

Sports Covered and Types of Wagers Offered

DraftKings Sportsbook takes a comprehensive approach to legal sports betting. While other books tend to stick to tried-and-true types of wagers, DraftKings has shown a propensity to color outside the lines.

Customers will find straight pregame bets, tons of player props, in-play betting, flash betting, predictions pools, and the occasional handicapping contest.

Sports coverage is similarly extensive. DraftKings offers betting for major US sports, international leagues, college games, and even sports as niche as bandy and pesäpallo. Customers in some states can even bet on the Drone Racing League.

Sports Covered (varies by season):

Sports Betting Interface

The DraftKings sports betting interface puts a ton of information at users’ fingertips, but it takes some getting used to because there is a lot to sort through between the various odds listings, menus, and randomly placed promotional offers.

The interface feels too busy at times, especially for mobile users. However, the way DraftKings’ menus provide quick jump links to specific divisions such as the NFL’s AFC or college football’s Big 12 is a nice touch.

From the homepage, users can select any game to view the complete list of betting markets for that game. Each betting page uses a tab system to organize wagers by categories such as game lines (point spreads and alternate spreads), props, halves, game props, player props, and so on.

DraftKings also provides a handy feature in which users can select any league from the navigation menu and then use a tab system to view the odds on various categories of wagers across every upcoming game. For example, bettors can visit the NFL page, select the “halves” tab and see the first half/second half odds for every game all in one. Typically, users would have to visit and back out of each game individually to compare the first half/second half odds across multiple games.

Desktop Screenshots

DraftKings Mobile App

The DraftKings app performs well on the technical side. Menus load quickly, the app is stable, and in-play betting odds update in real-time without issue.

However, the home page is overly crowded, with promotions, navigation menus, odds, and other information presented haphazardly all over the place.

Various account and alerts settings occupy the very top of the page, and beneath those in order moving down the page are:

• Large promotions banners
• Quick navigation links
• Another promotions banner
• A set of tabs dedicated to various sports
• A third promotions banner
• More navigation links at the bottom.

It leaves little space for the app to show popular upcoming games, which forces users to open one of the numerous navigation menus to find games that really should be featured front and center.

Things improve significantly once you get past the homepage. DraftKings organizes its main betting pages in an intuitive manner, with the main markets (spread, moneyline, and total) displayed prominently and a tab system to show every other type of bet by categories such as player props, halves, and game props.

In-Play Betting Review

As one of the nation’s most well-funded operators, DraftKings has all the financial backing and expertise it needs to provide a slick in-play betting platform for customers. It’s not perfect, but it is one of the better options on the market today.

Starting with its strong points, the DraftKings live betting platform maintains a busy calendar of events. Day or night, users will almost always find multiple events in play and open for action with live odds.

DraftKings provides comprehensive coverage of US sports, with in-play markets for every NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL game, plus golf, tennis, and a wide range of international sports. Bettors will find action on international rugby games, soccer, and even table tennis during off-peak hours.

Live streaming video for select sports significantly adds to the experience as well. DraftKings has yet to strike an agreement with a major US sport to stream its games, but that seems increasingly likely over time. Even streaming niche sports such as Korean baseball is a lot of fun when you can bet on those games as you watch.

One weak point is DraftKings lacks the in-play “Game Tracker” feature that shows live stats and actions on the court for many of its live events. The lack of this feature was especially noticeable during the last March Madness, with in-play betting stats limited to pregame stats collected before the game.

Deposit Limits

There are two primary types of deposit limits available on the DraftKings platform: self-imposed limits and state-regulated limits.

• State-Regulated Deposit Limits: Generally, DraftKings users are subject to a standard $5 minimum deposit limit for all payment methods, except bank wire transfers, which have a standard deposit limit of $100. The standard maximum deposit limit typically varies depending on each DraftKings participating state’s specific rules and regulations. Regardless, customers can request to increase their maximum deposit limits by contacting customer support or set self-imposed deposit limits, based on their individual preferences. The state-regulated minimum and maximum DraftKings limits apply to all the platform’s products, including fantasy sports, sportsbook, casino, and marketplace.
• Self-imposed Deposit Limits: If you wish to exercise more control over your maximum deposit limits, DraftKings provides a responsible gaming feature that allows customers to set deposit limits, lower than the state-regulated limits, over a daily, weekly or monthly period. These self-imposed deposit limits offer flexibility and enable you to manage your deposits based on your specific needs. For instance, you can set maximum DraftKings deposit limits of $50 daily, $200 weekly, or $1,000 monthly, according to your desired level of control, to protect you from impulsive betting.

DraftKings Betting Limits

There are always wagering requirements attached to any bonus offer, and most sportsbooks also have limits on deposits and bets you can place. Some of the key factors to know about regarding betting restrictions at DraftKings include:

• Minimum Deposit: The minimum deposit limit is $5, with the lowest betting limit $0.10.
• Parlay Rules: A standard parlay could reach up to 16 legs, but there will be a cap for some sports or events and also limits on same game parlays.
• Payout Limits: The maximum payout for any single winning wager is $1 million.

Additionally, you should be aware there may be state-specific rules and regulations you will need to understand. Take a look at our state pages for more information. Some of the common rules you will notice in the legal markets are things like restrictions on wagering on political events or high school sports.

How to Bet at DraftKings Sportsbook

When you find the sport, scroll till you find the match/game you want to bet on. You can see odds right away for a Spread bet, Total, and Moneyline. Here you can add 1 selection, or add more bets to your betslip. You can also click on the particular game to view more market and betting options. There are a few different types of bets you can place with DraftKings and we go into these in more detail below.

Note that the green numbers associated with each outcome are the odds, which decide the potential payout. You can add up to 12 selections to your bet slip at any given time.

So, for example, if you wanted to bet on an NBA game, click the NBA markets, choose your match and then place a single wager or a team bet.

To view your bet slip, click the center button on the app or look at the right-hand side of the screen on the desktop site. Here you will see all of the picks you have selected that are waiting to be placed. The bet slip allows you to toggle between Singles, Parlays, and Round Robins. Enter the amount you want to bet, and the potential payout will be calculated. It is just as easy to place a bet on the DraftKings sportsbook app, with everything designed to fit and work perfectly for a mobile device.

Once you are happy with your picks and stake, select ‘PLACE BET‘ to lock in your bet. There will be a record of all of the bets you place. You can view your complete betting history by visiting ‘My Bets.’

If you made the right selections, you can then proceed to withdraw your funds from DraftKings.

How To Bet Moneylines At DraftKings

A money line bet is the simplest type of wager, so it feels like an excellent place to start! This type of bet only includes odds, as in “odds to win .”They are wagers where you are simply predicting the outcome of a game. The favorite will always have a minus sign (-) displayed next to it, while the underdog is indicated by a plus sign (+). When betting on the favorite, the moneyline is the amount you would have to bet to win $100. With the underdog, the moneyline is the amount you stand to win if you bet $100.

Take the below example:

• Dallas Cowboys (-300)
• Philadelphia Eagles (+250)

In this instance, you would have to wager $300 on the Cowboys to win $100. On the other hand, the same bet on the Eagles Lions would see you win $250. Moneylines always assume a base of $100. Of course, you can decide if you want to bet less or more. You may see this as the best way to bet on DraftKings, to begin with, as it is a good option to ease yourself in.

How To Bet Over/Unders (Totals) At DraftKings

This type of bet is also referred to as a total. This is the name given for a wager when are predicting the total amount of something to occur. This can be combined points in a game, points scored by a player, yards for a player, etc. These bets are also accompanied by odds and are typically listed around -110.

Suppose you want to bet on Green Bay’s running back total rushing yards. For example, the ‘total’ will be set at around 85 yards. If when the game finishes, the Green Bay running back gets to 86 yards or more, the ‘over’ wins, and you can pat yourself on the back.

How To Place Prop Bets At DraftKings

Props, or proposition bets, are also referred to as side bets because they allow users to wager on specific events that occur within a game instead of just on the game itself. Game props are typically presented as moneylines and can cover a range of in-game events, such as a Quarterback throwing over a certain number of yards.

For example, if betting on basketball, you could predict how many points a player will score in one quarter or how many three-pointers they will score. Just click on any matchup to see all of the props available on DraftKings.

How To Place Parlays At DraftKings

A parlay bet is a wager placed on multiple outcomes to occur. All outcomes or ‘legs’ with the parlay must be chosen correctly for a parlay bet to win. The odds for each selection are multiplied by one another to determine the odds for the parlay. Parlays can be made up of several bet types, including spread, over/unders, and moneylines. This means they have higher payouts than if each wager was placed separately.

Same Game Parlays

DraftKings also offers same game parlays (sometimes called single game parlays).

In August 2022, DraftKings introduced the Same Game Parlay X (SGPx), giving any bettor the opportunity to combine their same game parlays into one bigger overall bet. So, you can combine several single wagers and Same Game Parlays into one big SGPx.

Before you decide to place your SGP on DraftKings, there are some rules you should be aware of. Please note the following information:

• A same game parlay is only available for pre-match bets. You can’t wait to see how the action unfolds and if one team is doing particularly well then add them to your SGP.
• There is no cash out feature available for an SGP.
• To bring up the bet odds on any SGP, you must make at least two selections.
• In relevant states, if an SGP has a player that didn’t participate and a parlay leg becomes voided, the odds will be adjusted and settled based on the outcomes of the remaining selections.

As SGPs are a unique bet type, the odds are calculated differently than with more traditional parlay wagers. Always check the odds before placing a same game parlay DraftKings bet.

How To Place Teasers At DraftKings

A teaser is similar to a parlay bet but allows the game totals and point spreads on two or more picks to be adjusted. A fixed number of points are given to all choices in the teaser, “teasing” them down, which results in lower payouts. The payout odds are determined by the number of chosen picks and the number of selected points.

All picks must be successful for the bet to win. If a selection in a teaser results in a push/draw, that pick is removed, and the odds will change accordingly.

DraftKings Security

This sportsbook is famous for its sophisticated geolocation technology that automatically prevents players from non-supported territories from even creating an account, let alone placing wagers and cashing out.

Moreover, its tight SSL encryptions are regularly updated to stay ahead of bad actors and cutting-edge malware.

DraftKings has also partnered with land-based casinos in several US states, with the most prominent being its Baton Rouge venue in Louisiana.

Customer Support

DraftKings customer support is mediocre. Bettors can visit a self-help section for assistance with frequently asked questions, but many answers lack detail and leave the readers with unanswered questions.

Customer support contact methods are also limited. A visit to the “contact us” page only offers a support request form, an e-mail address, and a phone call back request form. It is also worth noting complaints abound on social media regarding slow response times from the DraftKings support team.

However, DraftKings’ Help Center is extensive and thorough. As far as self-help is concerned, DraftKings Sportsbook is the gold standard. Every possible question that may come to mind has already been asked – and answered – in this section. It’s broken down into four subcategories, including Getting Started with Sportsbook, How to Play, My Sportsbook Account, and DK Horses, each including over a dozen detailed articles about the most frequently asked questions and topics.

Final Verdict

Saying that DraftKings is one of the best sportsbooks in the USA would be an understatement. They’ve got the odds, the market coverage, the promos, support channels, and the reputation of the leading book in the field for a reason, and throughout my 5+ years of testing the platform, I only have words of praise for every aspect of their operation.

From speedy payouts and flexible deposits to regular boosters to gracious rewards in the Dynasty Program, I’ve been generously rewarded for being an active member, and I warmly recommend using our secure links to join DraftKings today.
