DRAFTKINGS SPORTSBOOK APP RATING: 4.8/5

The DraftKings Sportsbook app was born out of the DraftKings daily fantasy service. After offering fantasy sports to users in states all across the U.S., DraftKings noted that there was a newly emerging sports betting market in the country. The 2018 overturning of PASPA was a landmark decision for sports betting providers, allowing them to again operate legally in the United States.

Today, you can download DraftKings online sportsbook onto your smart device and bet legally in nine states, with more being added soon! DraftKings is available for iOS and Android, and offers a fully-featured app experience.

As you can tell from the reviews, folks all over the country are getting into DraftKings Sportsbook online. The DraftKings mobile app is a particularly good way of keeping track of all your bets in one place, in addition to giving you access to bonuses and tons of extra features.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE DRAFTKINGS APP

If you’re looking for the DraftKings Sportsbook app for iOS, simply search DraftKings for your preferred state on the App Store or go to your state’s page on the DraftKings online sportsbook from your preferred device and click “Download”. From there, sign up and don’t forget to check the terms of the welcome offer — !*

* Min. $5 deposit. Deposit bonus requires 25x play-thru. Bonus issued as site credits.

Getting the DraftKings Sportsbook app for Android is a bit more tricky, but still pretty straightforward. The DraftKings signup process is the same, but you’ll have to download the APK from the DraftKings Sportsbook online site. The Google Play store has restricted all real-money gambling apps, so none of these will be listed on the service.

Once you’ve downloaded the APK file, your device will prompt you to “enable this installation from an unknown source”. Go ahead and enable it-- the DraftKings mobile app is safe, secure, and regulated by local governments to ensure everything is being done above-board.

DRAFTKINGS PROMO CODE & BONUSES

DraftKings rewards are easy to find just like the Draftkings Promo Code. Just navigate to the DraftKings bonuses section or click/tap Promotions to be given a list of all the available promos at a given time. These promotions may include welcome offers, refer a friend bonuses, and event-specific promotions. You’re probably most interested in the welcome offer, so let’s get into those details.

To secure the DraftKings welcome bonus, you’ll have to create an account with the operator and make your first deposit. Here are the details to the new DraftKings offer.*

• Bonus amount is equal to 20% of deposit amount. (Min. $5 deposit).
• Bonus funds will be awarded with a play-through requirement (for every $25 played, the user will receive $1 in bonus funds released into their account).

There are several terms and requirements that you must meet in order to net these bonuses, so make sure to check out those terms before you continue with your first deposit.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

As always, it’s a good idea to make sure your device is up to date-- that’s probably the first thing you can do to ensure a prime betting experience with DraftKings or any other sportsbook. The app works best on up to date devices that can handle a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768.

For best performance, make sure your device has been updated to at least Android 9 (Pie) or iOS 10. One thing that’s important to note: you can only use the DraftKings online sportsbook from the app-- you won’t be able to bet for real money through your mobile browser. Luckily, people tend to have phones with these two main operating systems, and folks without a device can easily play on the DK main site.

DRAFTKINGS APP FAQ

Q: Why do I have to enable location services all the time when using these apps?

Due to state and federal law, you can only legally bet on real-money gambling such as DraftKings Sportsbook online from the state in which that service is licensed. At the moment, DraftKings online sportsbook is only licensed in a few states, and each app is branded with the state in question. The DraftKings Sportsbook app in Pennsylvania, for example, can only be played when one is physically in PA.

Q: Why are there wagering requirements on my DraftKings bonuses?

Wagering requirements are in place to ensure that users don’t simply grab the welcome offers, cash out, and close their accounts. In many cases, you’ll need to wager more than the bonus amount in order to receive your full welcome bonus. Still, it’s a good way to add some padding to your betting credits.

Q: Where can I use the DraftKings service?

The DraftKings Sportsbook online is available in 14 states: Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania , New Jersey, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Michigan, Wyoming, Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Louisiana and Maine.

Users looking to play the DraftKings DFS games can play in nearly every state. The exceptions where you cannot play are: Washington, Idaho, Montana, Hawaii and Nevada.

FINAL THOUGHTS ON DRAFTKINGS APP

DraftKings has been making waves in the sports industry for nearly a decade, and that acclaim has been the result of innovation and work. Though there are a few small areas in which DK could reach more users (like having a functioning mobile version of the browser site), the service doesn’t disappoint in all major categories.

Overall, the DraftKings online sportsbook app is a great way to quickly get online and make simple bets on your favorite sports wherever you are. While the app might not be as extensive and complex as other betting services, it’s a solid sportsbook for anyone looking for a straightforward betting experience with a good selection of markets and promotions.
