Don’t know your parlays from your proposition bets? DraftKings has a number of useful tutorials and guides which are incredibly useful for first-time sports bettors.

In-play betting

DraftKings was one of the first New Jersey sportsbooks to introduce live in-play wagering. This means you can place bets on live sporting events as the action unfolds, adding a new level of interactivity to sports betting. To place an in-play bet with DraftKings Sportsbook, simply select “Live In-Game” from the navigation bar at the top of the page. From here, you will be shown the sporting events on which you can place live bets. As you would expect from a top sportsbook, DraftKings offers live, in-play betting on a variety of sports including soccer, tennis and golf. Punters will also be able to place live bets on major league events such as NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA games. DraftKings’ in-play coverage even extends to international sporting events including major European soccer leagues, such as the Premier League and La Liga.

DraftKings Sportsbook also offers a wide range of time-limited offers and promotions, ranging from odd boosts all the way to free bets. These DraftKings Sportsbooks promotions are constantly changing and, in some cases, you can even grab special time-limited bets. Be sure to check out all the DraftKings Sportsbooks promotions to get the best deal for your bet.

The DraftKings Sportsbook mobile app was the first mobile sports betting platform to launch in New Jersey. Just like the desktop site and the DraftKings fantasy app, DraftKings Sportsbook retains its signature green and black color scheme. The app offers a sleek design that is easy on the eye.

Not only is the app aesthetically pleasing, but it’s also incredibly easy to navigate. Along the bottom of the screen, you will find links to different areas of the app, including “Home,” “In-Game”, “My Bets”, “A-Z Sports” and “More Games”. Alongside these different tabs, users will find a variety of “Quick Links” at the top of the screen which can help users move quickly to a sport, event or different game of their choice.

Reputation

DraftKings has established itself as a giant in the daily fantasy sports arena. With products in the USA, UK and Canada, DraftKings has managed to establish a strong presence in a very short amount of time. Although the DraftKings Sportsbook app is currently only available in New Jersey, the company has taken a customer-first approach and prides itself on providing the best customer experience possible. DraftKings has also expanded into the realm of casino gaming, with the DraftKings Casino in New Jersey and have even launched a land-based sportsbook in Mississippi.

What lets DraftKings Sportsbook down is its relatively limited range of banking methods- there are few options for making deposits and requesting withdrawals. Customers that play DraftKings daily fantasy sports can easily transfer funds between the daily fantasy sports platform and the sportsbook, which is a nice touch.

Safety and security

As one of the first mobile and sportsbooks in New Jersey, DraftKings had to implement a robust system for player safety and security – and that’s exactly what they have done. As well as age and location verification, DraftKings Sportsbook offers bettors the ability to set limits on a variety of different aspects, including deposits, total spend and gambling time. DraftKings champions responsible gambling across its platform, including a section that reminds players to be mindful when gambling and to know their limits.

By law, DraftKings Sportsbook must log users out of the app after a 15-minute period of inactivity. Whilst this might be seen as an annoyance, it is a way of preventing anyone other than the account holder from using the account.

DraftKings Sportsbook is currently only available to bettors located in New Jersey. Whether you’re betting at home or on the go, both mobile and desktop platforms use geolocation technology to confirm that you’re within New Jersey state lines at the time of betting. You’ll need to download a plug-in to verify your location.

Although DraftKings Sportsbook is only available in New Jersey at the moment, there are plans to launch the platform in other states as the US sports betting market opens up.
