DraftKings review (US)
The most widely available sportsbook we track, with one of the strongest apps and the broadest feature set. Prices were the best we could measure in the US, from a small sample.

- Limits include a maximum single-wager limit and a time limit
- Several small regulator fines in New Jersey and Massachusetts since 2024

What it does well
DraftKings is available in more jurisdictions than anyone else we track, and it pairs that reach with depth. Same-game parlays, Progressive Parlays, SGPx, Live Flash props and Pools sit alongside DraftKings Racing and a separate Predictions product. Its apps have over 1.3 million iOS ratings at 4.82, and Android holds up at 4.75, which most rivals cannot match.
Prices
DraftKings posted the highest measured payout among US sportsbooks with enough data. Our US price sample is still small and mostly soccer, with few NFL and NBA games so far, so it says little about the markets most US bettors use.
Payments
The method list is long, including debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Play+, ACH and cash at the cage, with a $5 minimum deposit in third-party guides. Withdrawal times differ a lot between sources, from instant test results to up to two days for PayPal and five for ACH. Its own help pages refused our checks. A third-party guide says DraftKings charges no transaction fee.
Trust
Fines in our period were small but recurring, mostly for bets on prohibited markets in Massachusetts and for systems failures in New Jersey, including a slow block on self-excluded people in October 2026.
Watch out for
DraftKings' "Now Live in All 50 States" app copy covers its combined products. The sportsbook itself is live only in the states listed on this page. Elsewhere, you would be offered a prediction market, which is a different product with different rules.
