FanDuel Sportsbook Review & Promo Code

FanDuel is a large sportsbook that operates in all states in which sports gambling has been legalized. They are close in comparison to the top sportsbooks, DraftKings and BetMGM. While they are not quite on the level of the industry leaders, they do have some real upsides and are a larger company and better product than some smaller competitors, such as William Hill and WynnBet. The best thing about FanDuel comes right of the gate. They have a very generous sign-up promotion on which they offer a risk-free bet, up to $1000. 

Overall, Fanduel is a great sportsbook with many years of experience in the betting industry. They know what bettors want.

FanDuel has an involved and fairly easy-to-use platform on both mobile and desktop. Of course, this comes as no surprise, as FanDuel, just like DraftKings, started as a daily fantasy sports site with the intention of making the transition to a sportsbook. That became an option in 2018 and FanDuel operates in all states in which sports betting is legal. 

Both the website and mobile app feature easy-to-use navigation and an intuitive interface. Once logging in, it is very easy to locate both which promotions are available to you and which sports you want to bet on. It is truly a great positive to see value-creating bonuses on each login, and FanDuel does a great job in this area. 

Once logged in, finding the sport you're looking for is a piece of cake. There is also a “live now” tab that shows what live betting offerings are available at any given time. This tab is for betting on sporting events that are already in progress. 

Another great feature of FanDuel is easily accessing your bet slip. You will never have to click off the current page whether in the app or on the website to see what plays you have loaded in your bet slip. 

While the FanDuel platform is overall a good one, there are a handful of drawbacks. The app will often take a few seconds to load a page, which is not the end of the world but slightly faster navigation could never hurt. Finding some smaller market offerings and props can be difficult, particularly if the props are within a given game and not a season-long prop. The worst part of the FanDuel platform is the difficulty in finding support. Whether this is by design or not, it is frustrating to have to jump through hoops to send a support message. 

For success in betting, one of, if not the most important factor is pricing. How does FanDuel's pricing rank against some of its competitors such as BetMGM and DraftKings?

On standard against the spread (ATS) and over/under wagers, there will not be variance from sportsbook to sportsbook, and FanDuel is no different for these bets. The standard 10% juice or vig is the standard for FanDuel and its competitors.

❌ FanDuel is not consistent in where it lands in moneyline wagering. It is higher (lacking value) in some sports, but is lower (presents more value) in other sports. This is a case where having multiple accounts and comparing pricing can bring you added value on making the same bet you were looking to make on another site. Even still, FanDuel should absolutely be one of the sites on which you have an active account. 

✅ On the props side, particularly on head-to-head props, FanDuel is in line with industry leader DraftKings. They will offer the needed -110 on either side while competitors like BetMGM will be in the -118 area. Where FanDuel falls a bit short of DraftKings is in the amount of these types of offerings, but not in the pricing. 

= Summed up, FanDuel is a high-end sportsbook that should absolutely be one of the accounts you consistently wager on. Their college sports offerings are solid and they are in line with their top competitors in college football and college basketball. They have a very good bonus system, a platform that allows for easy navigation, and often have better pricing than that of their competitors. 

FanDuel does very well to draw in new customers with a fantastic sign-up promotion. They offer a risk free bet that is good up to $1000. There is no promo code needed, simply a new user signing up is all that's needed. This promotion is very simple. The first bet, up to $1000, is exactly how it sounds. If the wager wins, it is paid out. If the wager loses, the user is credited with bets matching the amount of the loss. It is a great way to get off to a strong start on the FanDuel platform. 

Needless to say, be as aggressive as possible with the amount of the risk free bet, as it is a one-time offer. The larger the wager the better, up to $1000. 

The sign-up bonus is not the only one available on FanDuel. They do a good job of offering small bonuses and free money when wagering on specific sports. For instance, they offered bonuses for all users on the Olympics adding extra value for all users, not only new users. 

There are also other offerings such as odds enhancement, parlay insurance, and other offerings hinging on specific outcomes in specific games in specific sports. 

In totality, FanDuel does well to give its users strong value on the bonus and promotion front.

FanDuel offers four different options for its customers to ensure their game experience is a responsible one, not just a fun one. We recommend mapping out what can be safely wagered and using any of the controls that FanDuel makes available to your benefit, if at all necessary. 

The four options available are:

• Usage limit - You can cap the amount of time you spend on the site in a given day.

FanDuel does a solid job of making many betting markets available, but they, like all other sportsbooks, continue to trail DraftKings in the number of wagering offerings in terms of smaller markets and prop offerings. FanDuel does great to bring many offerings for college sports. 

FanDuel does cover all of the main bet types, almost all of the sporting world and they do a solid job overall with offerings. Here are the types of bets FanDuel offers:
