DraftKings Fantasy Sports Review: Still the king of fantasy?

We always include bonus offers in our reviews, as you’ll know if you’ve read our Monkey Knife Fight Review and other DFS reviews. As the operator is famous for its generous sports and casino promotions, we didn't expect any less from the DraftKings DFS side of things.

Once you’re signed up and logged in, you’ll be able to view the signature black, green, and orange interface that offers an impressive number of options.

The top game options are conveniently located on a horizontal menu at the top of the page and offer a “featured” option if you want to look at the trending contests.

Below are options for creating a contest and a lineup, a helpful strategy research option, and the option to refer a friend to join in on the fun.

A grid menu in the center of the main page displays all the upcoming contests, including information about the sport or market, entry fee, contest style, how many entries there currently are for each contest, and the total prize money. So, if you were looking for specific information on a contest, we’d say you’re good to go.

As you’d expect, pages load instantly - similar to our findings in our Jock MKT review - and there is no sign of latency. All you need to do is click “enter” on the right-hand side of each upcoming contest to get into the action.

If you’re more of a mobile person, you’ll find that the DraftKings app satisfies all your needs.

We discovered a fantastic app while conducting our FanDuel Fantasy review, but the DraftKings DFS app is a fierce competitor, offering everything you need, only on a smaller screen.

You’ll be able to claim bonus offers, make deposits and withdrawals, choose and enter contests, and stay on top of all movements on the dedicated app. And there’s a version available for both iOS and Android devices. You’re not likely to find a more user-friendly and intuitive app than this one.

We’re all selective about online payments, and while some DFS fans prefer using debit cards or wire transfer, others may prefer e-wallet options like PayPal or Venmo. You’ll find all of these options available in the deposit section and DraftKings DFS gift cards. If you want to use your debit card at DraftKings DFS, you’ll also need to use a MasterCard AMEX, or Visa gift card.

There is also a respectable number of withdrawal methods available that include online banking, e-wallets, debit cards, wire transfers, and withdrawals using echeck. Withdrawals depend on the chosen payment method and can take anything between one hour to five days.

As you might see in our ParlayPlay fantasy review, its online betting platforms tend to offer only the most widely-used options, so this is a real perk.

Despite all the other perks a DFS operator like DraftKings may offer, it’s crucial to access information and get swift service if you have any questions or require assistance.

At DraftKings, you’ll find a detailed FAQ section that offers information about all aspects of your user experience. These include payment methods, promotions, account information, rewards, and a specific section dedicated to DFS.

You can also chat with a bot by clicking on the bright green “support” button or contact support directly by submitting a request in the Help Center.

These options will help you find your way around the DraftKings DFS platform and iron out any issues you may experience.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Sports is legal and licensed in 44 US states, making it an easily accessible option for DFS fans across the United States. If you’re unsure whether you can access and play at DraftKings DFS, the operator has a handy list of US states where you can play.

DraftKings offers a fantastic rewards program for DFS fans where points are collected, and the more you play, the higher you can climb the tier system to receive great perks and rewards.

The points you get are known as crowns, and you receive one every time you spend $1 on a DraftKings fantasy football contest or basically any other contest or tournament. Use your crowns to tier up or purchase merch at the brand’s online shop.

Our DraftKings Fantasy sports review also found a VIP program that offers exclusive benefits, including upgraded customer support and personalized contests. The VIP club is by invitation only, but if you belong to a VIP club at another operator, contact DraftKings regarding VIP status.
