Fanduel Sportsbook Review

They say that you should never judge a book by its cover, but first impressions count for a lot. The FanDuel sportsbook landing page is much brighter than some of its competitors, such as BetMGM Sports, who prefer the darker theme.

However, while we were initially met with the light white and blue branded homepage, when we clicked to go to the sportsbook, things went back to basics. The user-friendly sportsbook interface has a black background, with the sports list to the left and the bet slip to your right, leaving the entire middle of the screen for the markets that you’re browsing.

Overall, we think you’ll find this to be a simple site that’s easy to use and navigate.

In a similar fashion to the Borgata Sportsbook, FanDuel is currently offering a bet $5, get $200 in Bonus Bet welcome offer to its new bettors. If your $5 qualifying bet wins, you will get $200 in bonus bets that you can use across multiple sports bets.

Here’s how it works.

Starting on May 1, 2025, at 12 PM EST, FanDuel Sportsbook is introducing two promotional offers for new customers, with eligibility varying based on location. The first offer is available across the US Sportsbook states other than Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee. This promo runs until June 22 at 11:59 PM EST. With this promotion, new players who deposit a minimum of $5 and make a first real-money bet of at least $5 on any live market will get $200 in Bonus Bets in case their bet wins. The bonus will be added within 72 hours of the qualifying bet settlement.

In the meantime, customers in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee qualify for a similar offer that runs simultaneously from May 1, 2025, at noon EST to June 2, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST. With this offer, new customers who deposit $5 or more and make a minimum $5 first real-money bet will get $200 in Bonus Bets, win or lose. The bonus will also be paid out within 72 hours of settlement. Once this test offer is over, users in those states will follow the same offer format as the national offer.

Additionally, a new casino promotion is currently ongoing at FanDuel. With this, you stand a chance of getting 500 spins and a $40 casino bonus by simply making a minimum deposit of $10. The bonuses expire after 7 days if not used according to the offer terms and conditions. Therefore, go through these on the FanDuel platform before going on to benefit from the offer.

We touched upon this earlier in relation to the website, but we’d now like to focus on the usability of the mobile app, which we think is one of the brand’s most impressive products. The app interface is intelligently designed with thumb scrolling and tapping in mind.

Just about every part of the screen is activated – if you think a toolbar is missing something, scroll right and something else will almost certainly be revealed. When you click on a market it will be added to your bet slip and a large button will appear asking if you want to place the bet.

Overall, the app is easy to navigate, simple to use, and works extremely quickly without lagging.

When you create your account, you will automatically be entered into the FanDuel Player’s Club. This is a sportsbook-specific loyalty program through which you can collect points and unlock extra bonuses. On top of that, we also found regular daily boosts and parlay profit boosts that all existing players can claim.

As we said back at the top of this article, FanDuel is one of the best sports betting sites for player props. However, it is rivaled in this respect by DraftKings, another brand that originated in the DFS industry.
What we would therefore instead like to focus on in this section of our FanDuel review are two elements of the sportsbook app that are 100% unique to this brand:

FD Squares:

• This feature is available for every quarter, first half, and full-time of NFL games. Each square gives you the odds for a number that you can bet on to match the number of both teams’ scores (e.g. Commanders: 0 & Eagles: 7), and you can bet on as many squares as you like.

Parlay Hub:

This is one of the best tools that we have used for building same-game parlays (SGP) in a sportsbook app. It prioritizes games that are trending with other players, has an odds filter, and shows you how many other bettors have placed the same SGP as you.
