DraftKings and FanDuel are the two biggest names in US sports betting. Both are legit, both have huge menus and slick apps. The differences are smaller than the ads make them look.
Where they're similar
- Available in most US states where sports betting is legal.
- Every major sport, tons of props, same game parlays and live betting.
- Fast apps, quick deposits and plenty of promos.
Where they differ
- Odds: this is the big one. On any given game one might have -110 and the other -105, or a spread half a point better. It changes every day.
- Promos and boosts: both run daily boosts and new-user offers, and they change constantly. Check the current ones.
- Niche markets: alt lines and smaller props can vary.
- App feel: honestly, personal preference.
So which one?
