DraftKings Sportsbook Betting App

Available on the iOS and Android platforms the DraftKings NY betting app is slick, fast, and simple to use.

You quickly get used to the darker interface than the FanDuel option but with thousands of ways to bet, odds boosts across popular sports like NBA and NFL it ticks all the boxes you would expect of an operator of this magnitude. Easy to navigate quick links help you find the sports you want to access, the money lines and spreads that you need are quickly explained and simple to understand before making a wager.

New Yorkers will quickly enjoy taking their DraftKings betting options on the move and once confirming your residence status registering and getting started is simple.

FanDuel Sportsbook Betting App

Like DraftKings the FanDuel NY betting app can be downloaded on the iOS and Android stores to suit your device and the ownership tie in with the Flutter Group, responsible for European powerhouses Betfair and Paddy Power tells you that you are in business when it comes to setting up a clean, smart and intuitive sportsbook offering.

It’s easier on the eye than DraftKings with its lighter color scheme but that depends on the user as to a preference. You will find all the markets you need, a polished interface that is intuitive to the sports bettor needs and a raft of props markets to get involved with.

Odds, Markets and Betting App Features

Both FanDuel and DraftKings deliver with competitive odds across NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and other sports like soccer, tennis and golf.

What is clear is that choice matters with hundreds of markets per game ready before and during play so you are always able to take a view and wager on that view.

Live betting, trending bets and future markets are all easy to find but the edge perhaps lands with FanDuel if you are totally new to sports wagering as its simpler interface avoids getting lost but for that compromise, the market offering can go deeper with DraftKings.

Promo Codes and Welcome Offers

Both FanDuel and DraftKings offer some of the best sportsbook promos, and there's little difference between them. They provide compelling reasons to sign up and register for a new mobile betting account right now if you live in the Empire State.

Hard to split that and with some much amazing sport on the horizon the timing to get involved couldn’t be better. There is no winner here bar the sports fans of New York and whether you are team DraftKings or team FanDuel who’s to say you can’t be both.
