Fanatics Sportsbook Review

Pros and cons

Reputable brand

Strong leadership team

Software powered by Amelco

Unproven online sportsbook

Fanatics Sportsbook is officially open for business with a welcome bonus that's sure to impress users in legal Fanatics states.

Fanatics Sportsbook sign-up bonus

As a new Fanatics Sportsbook user, you can now claim a '$1,000 in No Sweat Bets' welcome offer — and no Fanatics Sportsbook promo code is required. Here's how it works:

After you create a new account, place a minimum $1 — or up to a $100 maximum — wager on any market with -500 odds or longer each day for your first 10 days of betting with the sportsbook. If your wager settles as a loss, you will receive a bonus equal to your qualifying stake, up to $100. Your promotional window begins after you place your first wager.

To receive the full bonus, you must place the maximum $100 bet on each of your first 10 days of betting. If you miss a day, you forfeit your bonus for that day. Keep in mind each bonus bet expires seven days after issuance.

I would recommend snatching this bonus up today, as the limited-time offer expires on Dec. 31, 2024.

FanCash

The Fanatics loyalty program is based around FanCash which is warned for every wager you place and is redeemable at the Fanatics website for sports merchandise. The amount of FanCash is based on the odds of your wager — 1% for -110 and a maximum of 10% for -6000 — win or lose.

Deposit options

Payment methods at Fanatics Sportsbook vary by state, and no credit cards are currently accepted. Instant bank transfer and Apple Pay are the easiest deposit options at the moment. 

Deposit Method	Fee	Process Time
	Free	instant	$5
	Free	instant	$5
	Free	Within 2 hours	$5,000

Withdrawal options

Fanatics Sportsbook has a unique withdrawal tracker to monitor the progress of your request. Similar to a Dominos Pizza tracker, users can stay updated on where they are in the withdrawal process. Bank transfer, wire transfer, and check are the most common withdrawal methods. 

Withdrawal Method	Fee	Process Time
	Free	2-3 Banking Days	$1
	Free	7-10 Banking Days	$10
	Free	Within 24 hours	$10,000

Fanatics Sportsbook is powered by software and source code from sports betting tech provider Amelco. Experienced sports bettors may recognize the name, as Amelco serves several active and discontinued sportsbooks in the U.S., including FOX Bet, PlayUp, and WynnBET.

Users can expect a safe and secure betting experience that includes the following key features:

Fanatics Sportsbook has mobile sports betting apps available for download in both the App Store and the Google Play store. The Fanatics Sportsbook app has received rave reviews across the board, receiving a 4.7/5 rating on iOS and a 4.5/5 rating on Android. 

Every bet you place on the Fanatics Sportsbook app earns you FanCash, which I thought was a nice touch. You have the opportunity to earn up to 10% back based on the size of your wager, win or lose.

Overall, the Fanatics Sportsbook app performs quite well. Load times are reasonable, navigating the app is enjoyable, and there are loads of betting markets to choose from. As of now, Fanatics isn't at the level of FanDuel or DraftKings, but the platform has promise, and I look forward to exploring what new versions of the app have to offer.

Fanatics Sportsbook iOS app

At the time of writing, Fanatics Sportsbook has an online sports betting license in 23 states:

Fanatics is committed to providing top-tier service to its customer base. 24/7 live chat managed by a virtual assistant. You can also reach out to a support agent via email, phone, or X.

• Live Chat: Yes
• Email: support@betfanatics.com
• Phone: (855) 438-9701
• Support languages: English
• X (Twitter): @FanaticsSupport

It is somewhat surprising how quickly Fanatics Sportsbook has risen through the ranks in a crowded and competitive online sports betting space in 2024. With an impressive mobile betting app, NFL live streaming, and a promising FanCash rewards program, Fanatics has certainly captured my attention.

While I would hesitate to mention the sportsbook in the same breath as some of the industry's heavy hitters, I've been thoroughly impressed with Fanatics' sportsbook product and would strongly recommend it as a secondary option in your sports betting app rotation.
