    FanDuel Vs Draftkings?

    I have an acct with FanDuel. Is there enough of a difference in these books to open an account at Draftkings (online)

    FanDuel is a disaster on big game days. Site crashes all the time.

    you need to open up every book that is allowed in your state. So many promos, boosts and freebies. DK withdrawls are slower BUT they have much more markets esp LIVE then fandual and more odd boosts

    DK website is much more stable than FD. Like kona said, the more outs you have the better.

    If you are a winner with these U.S books at the end of the year, what is the best way to avoid paying taxes ?

    It is funny. FanDuel was approved in Virginia late Jan 2021. They had commercials at every break in games. Then about maybe less than a week ago, DraftKings was also approved. They now have all the TV ads..No Fandual ads in sight.

    I'm an old timer and feeling comfortable is very high . Just one thing I've noticed, FanDuel grades wagers immediately. That's a feel good moment for me. Now I would say if Intertops and Bookmaker, maybe one or 2 more, would not require a photo Id along with all the other BS, I would stay.. Especially Intertops as their customer service over the years is quite good. But neither equal the days of World Sports X.

    I'm with you. What state are you in to have access to DK and FD? Did you look at other books if youre in a legal state?

    Don't declare it and don't get audited.

    FD will let you bet. DK a joke. Ridiculous limits. Good like getting a live play in on mma. I stopped trying. Felt like they were using me as market maker. Spin cycle all day

    In that case, I love european odds providers...as logn as they don't limit or delay heavily. Kambi is awesome. Unfortunately Draftkings won't be using them too much longer.

    FanDuel has better bonuses in my experience. They also randomly threw me $500 on Christmas and $250 because one of my deposits failed saying sorry for technical difficulties. Just sign up for all of them and take advantage of the bonuses and boosts. Everything else use offshore

    really... I am the opposite I get odd boosts and missions all the time from DK but never any rarely from Fandual besides the standard "insurance" promo's that are no biggie....I like the Fandual APP better but DK has way more markets and in play offerings at least in Illinois

    Not true. FD will cut you off just as bad. DK has actually gotten a bit more tolerant during the past year.
