*DraftKings launched in 2024 as a new betting site in North Carolina and Vermont.

DraftKings has a loyalty program known as Dynasty Rewards. It is open to any active customer with a real money balance. 

The premise is simple: make bets to earn points. These points (known as "Crowns") move you up the VIP ladder and unlock an increasing number of benefits.

You need to wager $2 to earn 1 Crown, and there are 5 VIP tiers in total, with each tier having access to the benefits of each previous tier:

Moving up the tiers ladder unlocks exclusive promos, priority customer support, access to live events, and more. Crowns can also be spent in the Dynasty Store on special prizes and experiences.

Within the Dynasty Rewards program is the DraftKings VIP program. This is an invite-only service that offers selected sports bettors access to enhanced services, unique promotions, and personalized contests.

You can access betting lines and odds boosts for dozens of sports and thousands of events every year. The minimum bet is less than $1. 

Here are some of the top sports covered by DraftKings' oddsmakers:

It's quick and easy to sign up for a DraftKings sportsbook account. Just follow these five steps:

1. Click or tap here. You will be re-directed to the DraftKings site where you can start the sign-up process.
2. Complete the registration form to open an account and activate the new customer offer. (You don't need a DraftKings promo code.)
3. Allow the software to verify your identity using the last four digits of your SSN.
4. Enable the geolocation plugin so the software can verify you're in a state where DraftKings Sportsbook is licensed.
5. Complete the registration process, make a deposit, and start betting.

DraftKings has a level of consistency that makes it a titan in every setting. In other words, you can access these impressive features via the desktop site, the mobile site, or the DraftKings mobile betting app.

My Stat Sheet

This is a relatively new feature, debuting in March 2024. With My Stat Sheet, you can assess and track your betting habits, including time spent on the DraftKings app and website. You can look at your stats for the year and month over month. The purpose of the feature, which you can find by clicking on your account icon, is to promote responsible gambling.  

Featured System Plays

Another new feature as of May 2024, the Featured System Plays assigns grades based on the effectiveness of bet types. For example, at the time of writing, an NHL system play of "Underdogs coming off a loss" was graded A+, meaning it had a high win percentage over the last 30 days. 

You can find this feature by clicking or tapping "Stats Hub" on the top menu of the DraftKings app. 

Stats Hub

You can access a selection of useful statistics via the DraftKings website or app. As well as recent results, you can see how teams have performed against each other, player stats, and much more.

Live Betting

You can bet on events while they're in progress. This is known as in-play or live betting. In-play betting is available for a variety of outcomes, including moneyline bets, totals, and player props. To make in-play betting even more engaging, DraftKings offers live streams and statistics.

Edit a Bet

DraftKings doesn't let you edit standard sports bets. However, if you're using the pool betting service (where you're betting against other users), it's possible to edit your picks right up until an event starts.

Payout Calculator

Novices who want to know what a winning bet will be worth can use the DraftKings payout calculator. This feature tells you what the returns will be based on your stake, the odds, and the type of bet you've made. Bear in mind, this feature is not available on the app. But it can be found on the desktop site under How to Bet: Sports Betting Guides.

DraftKings Cash-Out Option

DraftKings allows you to end bets early for a price. Basically, when you have an active bet, you can tap the cashout button to end it before its natural conclusion. The software will come up with a price based on your stake, the amount you stand to win, and the assuming chances of your wager winning given the current dynamics. You can either reject the offer and let the bet ride, or accept the offer and pocket the cash.

One-Touch Deposits

You can set a preferred payment method once you've made your first deposit. Setting a preferred payment method allows you to make quick deposits directly from the bet slip. This is a great feature if you're trying to lock in a bet before the odds change.

*21+ (18+ KY/NH/WY)

The DraftKings Sportsbook mobile app is every bit as impressive as its desktop counterpart. 

Yes, there are a few shortcomings. For example, we'd like it to be a little less busy so that you can find features more easily and more live streams would be nice. 

However, when it comes to stability, security, and betting markets, there are few operators that score as highly in the mobile market as DraftKings. That places their product among the best betting apps available on both Android and iOS.

• "Hands down, if no sweat bets and boosts are your thing it's here. They are the fastest at withdrawals ... If you have any questions or email an inquiry they get back with you in my experience within an hour. Shop your odds but I truly recommend DK and can't deny they are #1 and my go to sports betting app." - iOS user
• "Customer service is exceptional! I won't get into detail but I had a small disagreement and it was resolved within an hour...not only did they make right on their end, they actually gave me more than I was even asking for to resolve the issue!" - Android user
• The depth and breadth of options feels very customizable. The instant specials, gift credits, and generous prop odds have me loving my experience so far." - Android user
• "The app itself is relatively slow. The profit boosts are nice and unlike anything I’ve ever seen on any other app or site. So that’s a plus. The lag on placing bets etc is a bit annoying, but it’s understandable. The UI is nice and the social hub is a huge plus and extremely underrated" - iOS user
