    Good overall but chat support needs improvement

    DraftKings is a site I visit often for casino games and sports betting. Signing up was quick. I had to make a deposit to get the welcome bonus, which gave me bonus bets for sports wagers. I thought the bonus terms were fair.

    Getting through to a person on live chat was frustrating. The bot didn’t connect me to an agent until I insisted several times. The app’s pages loaded faster than the website, though the website also worked well on mobile.

    Consistently better odds for hockey betting

    I’m Nattie, and I’m a self-confessed hockey addict. I’ve decided to post this DraftKings review as I’ve been using the site for a while now, and found consistently better odds here than on any other sportsbook.

    When I first signed up I got $150 in free bets just for betting $5 which was really cool, especially as the Stanley Cup playoffs were getting underway at the time. I managed to pick up a few odds boosts occasionally and DraftKings gave me another free bet for the final.

    I did download the app, mainly so I could add money to my account at my convenience and being able to deposit as little as $5 each time suited me well. Having the app also meant I could keep up with the action when I was at work, and it was surprisingly easy to use.

    I even took a look around the casino a couple of times, which is something I rarely bother with and that looked pretty cool as well, although I didn’t actually get around to playing any games to be honest.

    One thing I really liked was the fact that DraftKings doesn’t focus only on the NHL, I could also bet on college hockey games, and follow the European leagues too, meaning plenty of off season scope.

    Although I guess my experience with DraftKings is a bit more limited than most other people’s, I couldn’t really fault anything here, and I won’t be looking around for any alternatives that’s a dead cert.

    Slow help center and complex setup

    As a sports fan, I’ll contribute to the DraftKings reviews of their sportsbook. I browsed for an hour before joining and trying it. DraftKings requires phone verification, along with four digits of your SSN. Bit of a bore, but use your full name and address to minimize the chance of errors or issues and you should be fine.

    The DraftKings help center didn’t give any minimums, while withdrawal times can be from 24 hours upwards. They’re vague about accepted methods in each state, so you just need to check once you’ve signed up. I claimed $150 in bonus bets with my first $5 bet at DraftKings. I had to sign up to read the T&Cs though. Those ought to be readable without joining.

    The DraftKings support center loads slowly with teeny results that can be tricky to read. There’s a chat window, but that took a while to load too (it’s a chatbot).

    As for the crux of the thing, I found popular sporting events at the top of the menu, but browsed the A-to-Z list as well. They’ve got some championship pages, but they only apply to a few sports. Check some news for your favorite sport at the bottom of the main page for that sport. They’ve got unusual betting options too, like not facing break points in tennis. DraftKings Social is nice too if you want to chat with other sports fans.

    See if you can live with the slooowww help center before joining DraftKings. You might eventually need it. Verification is nothing unusual – sort that first to make life easier. I’ve used DraftKings since, but it suffers a bit from the complexity I’ve seen on a lot of sportsbooks. It could be more user friendly and faster to load at times.

    Unmatched Sports and Smooth Withdrawals

    The variety of sports and different types of bets is unmatched. I’ve had a few small wins and the cash out process was smooth for me.
