Fanatics Sportsbook USA

Editor’s View

Fanatics offers three products to its customers: sportsbook, casino and Fanatics Markets, which is a prediction markets platform. Not all of these products are legal in all states, so make sure to check what is available to you.

I like the innovative features Fanatics offers to customers, the variety of betting markets, and the ONE loyalty program that includes all platforms and the merch store. Read my Fanatics sportsbook review for more information.

General Information and Safety Details About Fanatics

Fanatics sportsbook is licensed to operate in 22 US states, and you can check your state details on the Fanatics website. The sportsbook follows the rules and regulations in each state where it’s legal, including responsible gambling practices.

The sportsbook is available only through an Android or iOS app, and the desktop version of the website is for informational purposes only. All products and the merchandise store contribute to loyalty points, which are actually FanCash you can redeem later or use for further purchases.

Fanatics Payments and Withdrawals

Fanatics lists debit card, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Skrill, ACH, and wire transfer as available payment options, but these may vary based on your location. Check your available options before creating an account, especially if you have a preferred payment method.

The minimum amount you can deposit is $10. FanCash is the loyalty currency for all Fanatics products, so you can use it across all platforms. Bonuses are paid in FanCash, and you can earn it in other ways. You can later redeem it for cash, dollar-for-dollar value.

The minimum withdrawal should be $1 in all eligible states, which is a great thing since your cash (or FanCash) is always at your disposal. Withdrawals can take up to 2-3 business days, and the available payment options vary by state.

Fanatics’s Best Offers

The Fanatics sign-up offer brings up to $1,000 in FanCash across the first ten days (up to $100 a day) when you register and claim the welcome bonus. Note that you will need to opt in every day and read the terms and conditions for more details.

The bonus availability depends on your state, and so do other Fanatics bonus offers. I have also found cashback offers on bets and in-app purchases during my Fanatics sportsbook review.

Betting Features Available at Fanatics

Fanatics sportsbook offers some unique betting features, apart from those regular ones you expect to see on a sports betting site: 

• Live betting: Fanatics' in-play betting section is dynamic, with regularly updated odds and a variety of betting markets.
• Live streaming: Registered bettors can stream certain events through the Fanatics app, and you can see what’s available in the live section.
• Same Game Parlays: Bet Builders are called like this in the US market, and you can build bets across various popular sports at Fanatics.
• Squad Bets: This is a Fanatics’ innovative parlay bet. You can pick an eligible market from a sport you wish to wager on, the line the bet should hit, and then select 3-6 players whose overall statistics will qualify for your bet.
• Fair Play: It is a player prop protection feature that protects players’ bets from injuries in the first period of whatever sport they are wagering on.
• Fanatics Markets: In states where sports betting is not legal, players can trade contracts on sports markets through Fanatics Markets.

Most Popular Sports at Fanatics

Fanatics offers everything you would expect from a US-based sports betting site, starting with whatever is currently available and popular. You will find a great selection of markets for the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB, since basketball, American football, ice hockey, and baseball are among the most popular sports.

Tennis is also popular, especially during major tournaments, and Fanatics also covers the most popular football leagues, such as the Premier League, Champions League, and similar leagues.

Overall, you can wager on around 20 sports, which, in my experience, is a good offer for US sportsbooks. Some bettors complain about the lack of horse racing options, though.

Fanatics Customer Service and User Experience

If you need help or have a question for customer support, you have a few options for contacting them. You can use the live chat, which is available 24/7, contact them by phone, send an email, or reach out on social media.

While I think it’s great that they cover so many different communication channels, the fact that there is no chatbot in live chat gets a thumbs up from me, as it means I can get an answer quickly, without having to bypass the bot first.

Fanatics also has an FAQ section in the app if you wish to consult it first. Note also that customer support has access to your account details, so the communication should be fast and efficient.

Fanatics’s Commitment to Responsible Gambling

As a licensed and regulated operator, Fanatics must provide access to responsible gambling tools and resources to bettors in all legal states. You can set deposit, wager, and session limits in your account settings.

The operator also partners with organisations that help with problem gambling. You can also read advice and tips about safer gambling.

If you need a break from gambling, you can take a timeout or even request permanent self-exclusion.
