FanDuel Rewards Program

While FanDuel Fantasy Sports has a loyalty rewards program called the FanDuel Fantasy Club, the online sportsbook does not. Therefore, if FanDuel Sportsbook wants to better compete with other leading betting operators, it should consider offering loyalty rewards.

Available Sports at FanDuel Sportsbook

If you want odds for a diverse range of sports, FanDuel has you covered. This operator covers 20 sports and counting. The list of options includes major U.S. sports like NFL betting and baseball, as well as international hits such as soccer, golf, darts, and rugby.

Note that leagues, teams and events covered vary from state to state. 

  • Football

    Football

    What makes FanDuel one of the best NFL betting sites available? For one, it has live streaming for select games during the NFL season. Its vast betting market selection means there's always new bets to place on your favorite pro football teams.

    But that's not all—FanDuel has one of the most extensive NCAAF betting site menus, too. FanDuel lists odds for every Division I matchup, as well as awards futures and National Championship odds.

  • Basketball

    Basketball

    FanDuel's excellent promotions help make it a stellar NBA betting site. Throughout the season, but especially during the NBA playoffs, you'll find plenty of basketball-specific promos, parlays and odds boosts to help you increase your value.

    FanDuel is one of our favorite NCAAB betting sites, too—especially as a March Madness betting site. Leading up to the Big Dance, FanDuel has some of the strongest coverage of college basketball odds. Once the tournament begins, FanDuel is one of our go-to betting destinations.

  • Baseball

    Baseball

    FanDuel's range of both pregame and live betting markets sets it apart as one of the strongest MLB betting sites. You'll find just as many in-play odds as you do pre-game.

    FanDuel's unique game tracker means you can follow every at-bat without needing to have access to a live stream. You can follow along with game stats right alongside the live odds, as well.

  • Hockey

    Hockey

    One thing we particularly like about FanDuel as an NHL betting site is hypothetical odds for potential matchups in the future. You can assess the likelihood of current matchups and hedge your bets if you like your odds.

  • Soccer

    Soccer

    As a soccer betting site, FanDuel covers every major pro league you could want, including the MLS, UEFA, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga and the EPL. Compared to their other sports, FanDuel's soccer markets within each league are limited, focusing mainly on game outcomes and futures.

  • Tennis

    Tennis

    FanDuel organizes its tennis betting site markets around major upcoming tournaments, like the French Open or Wimbledon. You'll find men's and women's odds for individual matches and futures.

    What really sets FanDuel in a league of its own is select live streaming for tennis matches. All live matches will have game trackers and live stats.

  • Boxing & MMA

    Boxing & MMA

    FanDuel is among the heavyweight boxing betting sites for its extensive prop bets for every fight, including round-by-round results, three-way moneylines and method of victory.

    FanDuel also answers the call as a UFC betting site, including specials for top-billed matchups.

  • Motorsports

    Motorsports

    FanDuel is a solid (perhaps not great) motorsport betting site. It essentially only offers future odds on individual races and league champions.

    In general, we've found FanDuel to be a stronger F1 betting site than a NASCAR betting site. When we checked, there are more prop bets available for F1 races.

How to Sign Up for FanDuel Sportsbook

You can register for a FanDuel account online. Just follow these step-by-step guidelines:

  1. Click (or tap if you're on a mobile device) the blue button in the FanDuel banner directly above. You will be re-directed to the FanDuel 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 FanDuel 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 FanDuel Sportsbook is licensed.
  5. Complete the registration process, make a deposit, and start betting.
Betting Experience & App UX

How to Use FanDuel Sportsbook: Betting Experience & Features

The FanDuel platform is packed with features. That's a positive. 

However, in some regards, there's a little too much going on. New FanDuel users might need a day or so to familiarize themselves with the layout and where to find all the main options. 

Some users might be OK and, in reality, it doesn't take long to find your way around. But, it is worth noting that, because FanDuel has a lot of features, the interface is a little busy in places.

Live Odds and Betting

You can see live betting odds for all major sports. Ongoing events are conveniently located in the "Live Now" tab and you can see exactly how many things are happening thanks to a counter. What's also great about the live betting tab is that you can view live statistics and a game overview.

Streaming

As well as statistics and a virtual game overview, FanDuel provides live streams for a variety of sports. That means you can watch everything from football and soccer to tennis via the FanDuel Sportsbook site or app.

Early Cash Out

FanDuel allows you to end bets before their natural conclusion using the cashout feature. Basically, you'll be offered a price to end the bet based on your stake, potential returns, and the assuming likelihood you'll win. If you take the cash offer, the bet ends immediately.

FanDuel Same-Game Parlay

You can bet on multiple outcomes in a single game and string them together as one bet. This is called a same-game parlay (SGP). All parts of the parlay have to be correct for you to win, which means the odds can be extremely generous. 

FanDuel Sports Odds and Odds Boost Offers

Daily odds boosts make an already competitive selection of betting lines even better. In fact, FanDuel goes beyond the norm with Super Boosts, which enhance the odds for bets with two or more outcomes. You can find these in the top menu by clicking or tapping the yellow lightning bolt icon.

Fast FanDuel Sportsbook Cash Out

You can set a withdrawal option as your preferred method. This allows you skip the process of choosing a payment method so you can make a withdrawal quickly.

Stats

FanDuel Sportsbook provides a wealth of statistics on every event it offers odds for. In addition to game/player stats, you can track your own stats via the My Bets Hub. All of this is great for those that love to make data-driven decisions.

FanDuel Casino on mobile

FanDuel DFS App

Like the desktop site, FanDuel's mobile app has a lot going on. However, the difference here is that certain page elements, namely the bet slip, are hidden from view until you need them. This means the daily odds are in the center of your screen.

This, in our opinion, makes the mobile betting experience a lot slicker

When combined with all the features we've previously described, it's a great app for people who want to bet on the go and compares favorably with the best betting apps out there.

How to Download the FanDuel App

  1. Click or tap any of the blue buttons in the banners on this page, including the one directly above. This will redirect to the FanDuel site. 
  2. Create a FanDuel account.
  3. Go to the App Store or the Google Play Store depending on your device.
  4. Search for FanDuel Sportsbook.
  5. Download the app.

Bear in mind, you can only download FanDuel mobile iOS app using iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running on iOS 11.0 or later.

FanDuel Sportsbook App User Reviews

  • "I have several friends that would agree with me when saying that Fanduel is leaps and bounds above the competition. No app is perfect and you’re going to lose far more often than you ever win, but as far as user-friendly, easy to navigate interface, super easy to parlay across every sport, nothing even comes close to Fanduel." - iOS user
  • "Best sportsbook app in the game. Loads fast as lightning, painless login, and a clean interface." - Android user
  • "The location tracker needs some work and the odds need to be adjusted but other than that its good!" - Android user
  • "There’s nothing overly wrong with the app, it’s actually a nice layout & easy to use, it just doesn’t have the extra engagement draws that most of the smaller, slightly less easy-to-use sports books do, which for me personally is more important." - iOS user

Security

Backed by Flutter Entertainment, one of the largest betting and gaming companies in the world, FanDuel has been one of the biggest names in fantasy sports since 2009. That fact alone means it's a reputable place to gamble. 

Flutter Entertainment is the trading name adopted by Paddy Power and Betfair after they merged in 2016. Since then, the company has used its long-standing reputation for excellence to acquire a number of high-profile brands, including FanDuel in 2018 and The Stars Group in 2019.

Being part of this company instantly gives FanDuel a solid standing within the industry. Add to this secure software licenses in multiple states, fair odds, and guaranteed payouts, and you've got a sportsbook that you can trust implicitly.

Furthermore, with FanDuel, you're covered by SSL encryption software and more on both the website and the app. Since FanDuel is licensed in the states in which it operates, your personal details and your money are always safe.

Final Verdict of FanDuel Sportsbook

There's a lot to like about FanDuel Sportsbook. For starters, you'll find competitive odds on an impressive selection of sports. That line-up of sports also includes horse racing, which is something most US bookmakers don't cover.

Secondly, the desktop and mobile apps are extremely well made and packed with FanDuel Sportsbook features. Yes, the interface could be a little overcrowded, but that's more of a personal preference. 

We also like the sports betting promos on offer.

Would a loyalty scheme make the sportsbook better? Possibly. Would we like to see withdrawals processed in less time? Yes. 

However, these minor issues aside, we can say with confidence that FanDuel Sportsbook is one certainly worth trying.
