DraftKings Sportsbook Review 2025

DraftKings is one of the safest legal sportsbooks in America. They're publicly traded on NASDAQ (DKNG), which means SEC oversight, quarterly financial disclosures, and institutional accountability. Founded in 2012 and licensed in 24+ states.

New users get $200 in bonus bets when their first $5+ wager wins, plus a 20% deposit match up to $1,000.

DraftKings operates in 24+ US states plus Ontario, Canada: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

DraftKings has a better app rating (4.8 vs 4.7 stars), more state availability (24+ vs 21+), and better same-game parlay options. FanDuel has slightly better odds on some markets and faster payouts.
