FanDuel Pros and Cons for New York Players
Pros
- Wide Availability: If you live in a state where sports betting is legal, it’s very likely you live in a state where FanDuel is already operating, either via its online or mobile platform or through a brick-and-mortar retail sportsbook.
- Fantasy Sports Crossover: FanDuel was already one of the United States’ two largest daily fantasy sports operators, meaning bettors who also enjoy both can play both while using the same account.
- Competitive Odds: The odds offered on FanDuel are often some of the better ones in the business from a bettor’s perspective. This is particularly true on more widely-bet markets and bigger games, and especially on wagers on total goals or points scored.
- Generous Beginner Promos: FanDuel offers a risk-free bet of up to $1,000. In other words, if you make a $1,000 risk-free bet and it loses, $1,000 will be returned to your account. You must make additional wagers equivalent to $1,000 before you can withdraw those funds, however. But if you’re planning on being a regular bettor—even if you’re playing relatively small amounts of money—you’d be foolish not to take advantage of this offer, whether you bet $1,000 with your first wager or a smaller amount.
Cons
- Odds Format: While most users will be plenty happy to use the standard American odds (+100) format, FanDuel is one of a few sportsbooks that does not allow users to change their odds to a decimal (2.00) or fractional (1-1) formats. Some bettors find decimal odds, in particular, to be more user-friendly because they can make it easier to compare and compute implied probabilities.
