FanDuel vs DraftKings: Comparison Of Two Betting App Giants

FanDuel provides a $1000 No Sweat First Bet for its new customers. So if the first wager of the users goes on loss, they are eligible to get a refund of up to one thousand dollars in free bet. It can be done with or without using the Fanduel promo code. However, if the user's first wager wins, they won't get the welcome bonus. To get the bonus, users need to have a verified FanDuel account.

All the new DraftKings customers can use the special sportsbook promo code and avail 20% deposit bonus of up to $1000. However, the bonus will be in the form of side credits. The maximum bonus one can avail of is $1000, but their first deposit has to be at least five dollars to qualify. The bonus funds will be released if the particular play-through condition is met. Due to its difficult play-through needs, it needs to catch up to its contemporary.

Winner- FanDuel

As far as bonuses for existing players are concerned, Draftkings provides a distinct refer-a-friend promotion. Other than that, their promo page needs the number of bonuses. On the other hand, FanDuel significantly improved in the bonus section, not just in terms of new customers but for existing ones. For example, they provide bonuses like free bets, parlay insurance on one or numerous sports, same-game parlay insurance, and first-period insurance.

Thus, there are sufficient chances for users to secure their funds with insurance promotions. This gives FanDuel an edge over Draftkings.

Winner- FanDuel

In terms of the design and layout of mobile apps and websites, both the bookmakers are at par with each other. Both of their platforms are easy to navigate and user-friendly, so even if a person is a first-time user, they will be able to look where the betting markets and sports are. The primary colour themes of Draftkings are grey and green, whereas for FanDuel, it is white and blue.

While the fan dual offers users to switch their colour scheme to dark instead of light, Draftkings doesn't offer this option. However, it doesn't make it any less, thanks to the carefully chosen colour schemes.

Winner- Both of them share the win

From a bettor's perspective, live streaming is a feature that gains interest. Both platforms offer it, so the decision takes work. The features need the user to have a verified account with the bookmaker and to have sufficient funds in their account. Some of the important aspects of the features are:

• Users can access all the events without any fee, without having to pay any amount or betting on the event beforehand
• The streaming won't be in full-screen mode
• There will be a buffer time of 30 seconds and sometimes longer to eliminate any chance of cheating
• The quality of streaming will be based on the internet connection of the user

Both platforms offer a top-notch streaming service. Also, the number of events and sports they cover is more or less the same.

Winner- Both

Both bookmakers offer a mobile app for Android and iOS devices for free. They also provide mobile apps for their other sections, such as Fantasy and Casino. For Android devices, users have to download every app from the respective mobile website of the bookmakers. It is because Google Play forbids real-time betting apps on its platform. IOS users can access all the apps via the Apple app store.

In terms of mobile app layout and design, users prefer Draftkings because of its mobile-friendly layout and modern approach. However, while FanDuel also has a mobile-friendly app, its design could be a bit longer compared to its contemporary.

Winner- Draftkings

One of the most popular betting features is cash-out. Both platforms offer it to their customers. Moreover, both offer this feature on some betting markets for pregame and in-play events. This feature allows the users to settle their wager before a match ends so that they get back at least a part of their winning or stake based on the situation. This feature has proven to be highly useful in preventing future losses.

On FanDuel, users can check the feature's availability if there is a symbol next to the name of the market. However, DraftKings needs to indicate availability, which is the only difference between the two bookmakers in terms of cash-out features.

Winner- FanDuel

So in the battle of FanDuel vs. Draftkings sportsbook battle, both have pros and cons. However, they are like two sides of the same coin, offering users an excellent sports betting experience.
