$500 Risk Free Bet for new players
The FanDuel Sportsbook appreciates its new members by assisting them to kick off in the site with a cash back offer of up to $500, as a refund of any amount they lose in their first attempt. All the player needs to do after signing up is to fund their account with the required minimum deposit and place their first real money wager with it. When they lose this bet, they are given back the amount they lost within 72 hours. With the given bonus, they can go ahead and wager on all other markets in the sportsbook.
This is available for players in New Jersey who are up to 21 years of age, and it goes for the first selection on any bet slip that contains multiple selections. It started on February 3rd, 2019 and will end on December 31st, 2020.
Three reasons to play at FanDuel
- Quality mobile app
- Good live betting platform
- Large choice of available bets
Known predominantly for their daily fantasy sports offerings, FanDuel has also moved into the sports betting space. The sportsbook operates in several states in the US, with their selection of betting markets and mobile betting technology being a highlight of what they have to offer. Despite not being in the sportsbook business for as long as some of the other brands available in the United States, there is plenty to like at FanDuel.
FanDuel’s presence in the US
FanDuel sportsbook didn’t begin operating in the United States until 2018, as they were strictly a daily fantasy sports operator in America before that. In a short period of time, FanDuel has become massively popular in the United States, thanks in large part to the large number of states that they are operating in relative to many bookmakers. They offer action in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, with other states on the horizon to be added to their portfolio.
Betting markets at FanDuel
From a betting markets perspective, FanDuel looks a lot like an international bookmaker with the sports that they offer action on. Everything from popular American sports like football and basketball, to niche international sports like Aussie Rules football have betting markets up for grabs. Within the more popular sports on offer are a litany of markets from top leagues to less heralded competitions, with everything from standard spread markets to exotic prop bets commonly featured in football, basketball and soccer.
In-play markets and live streaming
One of the more impressive components to the FanDuel sportsbook is the live betting section of the site. Given FanDuel’s presence in the United States, it is no surprise that sports like basketball and football are featured for live betting. But FanDuel also offers live betting action on sports like tennis, including even obscure tournaments that are below the ATP and WTA tour levels of competition. Even those low-level tennis matches feature in-play wagering on individual service games, and even individual points. What’s more is that there are live streaming capabilities on the site in those same tennis markets, giving bettors the chance to watch what they have wagered on in some instances.
Betting odds
The odds at FanDuel are largely consistent with what bettors see at other sportsbooks, as most big name bookmakers are relatively close to one another in most markets. But there is one area where FanDuel does well, and that is with the presence of regular odds boosts on the site. Odds boost promotions make the outcome of an individual result more profitable than it would be normally, to incentivize bettors to wager on that outcome. This is an oft-used promotional tactic at FanDuel, and bettors who were considering wagering on those outcomes can do so at FanDuel and see better returns in those cases.
Mobile betting
Mobile device betting at FanDuel is easy to do, thanks in large part to the fact that FanDuel had already done a great job of putting together a mobile app for its daily fantasy sports operations. Bettors can access FanDuel sportsbook on iPhone and Android devices via mobile app. It should be noted that players have to be located in a state where FanDuel sportsbook is allowed to operate in order to place a bet using the FanDuel app. This is easily verified using the location services of each mobile device. The FanDuel app is well organized, as bettors are easily able to navigate to the sports and events that they want to wager on.
Conclusion
Despite entering the American market as a daily fantasy sports site, FanDuel sportsbook has reinvented itself as a high-quality sportsbook as well. With a large number of live betting options and a mobile experience that is tough to beat, it is no surprise that FanDuel has been able to compete with more established sportsbook brands right away.
