Draftkings Mobile App

The operator has a functional, responsive and easy to download app for devices running on Android and iOS operating systems.

The DraftKings Mobile App is available on both the Android and iOS versions. Let’s go through both versions to see the features available.

For Android

You can download the Android version of the app from the Google Play Store. You can also download the app directly from the DraftKings website. It is much cleaner and easier to use than the mobile site, although not as detailed as the desktop version. When you download and install it on your Android smartphone, you can log in or sign up on the app.

After signing up or logging in, the app will take you to a homepage where you will see multiple options to do many things. You can update your profile, make deposits and withdrawals, connect with friends and other players, etc. You can even create a contest or check your recent activities on the platform.

At the bottom of the app, you will see tabs that allow you to check live and upcoming events. There is also the “Lobby” tab, where you can see a list of sports leagues, like the NFL and NBA, and upcoming events in that league. Event times are more accurate than on the mobile site.

For iOS

If you use an iPhone, iPad, or other iOS mobile devices, you can download the DraftKings Sportsbook and Casino app for iOS on the Apple Store. The iOS app is similar to the Android version except with a few design differences. You can check live matches, register, deposit and withdraw funds, place bets, play casino games, etc. on the iOS version of the DraftKings app.

If you prefer, you can download the app straight from DraftKings, not the Apple Play Store. After install and login Draft Kings, you will have access to the app’s complete features. This way, you can place bets and play games on the go, as long as you have your iOS device.

As mentioned earlier, there are two methods for downloading the DraftKings app for Android. Let’s go through these methods.

Here are some of the advantages of using the DraftKings mobile app:

Functionality

Many players prefer the mobile app to the mobile site because it is faster and more efficient. 

All features at your fingertips

You can register, log in, place bets, play games at the DraftKings casino online, deposit and withdraw funds, etc., from the comfort of your home or anywhere you are with your mobile device. 

Ease of Notifications

You can receive notifications about bets and games on your mobile apps easier than you would receive from the website. It is complicated to receive notifications from the desktop site.

Personalized access

It is easier to access recent activity, see stats, and receive recommended matches on the mobile app than on the website. These features make for better personalization and user experience when using the app. After registration, you can personalize your login experience so that it is easier for you to log into your account with ease.

Great organization

DraftKings has one of the most organized mobile apps in the DFS space. You can easily see all markets in a game, plus specific bets by slate. This straightforward view makes for a better user experience.

Ease of Use

You don’t have to find a browser to log in anytime you are interested. You can just click on the app and get started.

There are also some downsides of using the DraftKings mobile app. Let’s go through them:

Technical issues

Some users have complained that they have had problems staying logged in on the DraftKings mobile app. Apparently, the app logs users out after some time, and they have to log in again continuously. Also, when you win a promo, you may have to log out and log in again to access the promo. Hopefully, this is a quirk the DraftKings technical team is looking to fix soon.  

Location verification

Some users have also complained about the app’s issues. This means that sometimes it is difficult for the app to verify your location automatically, and sometimes, the app verifies multiple times even if you never leave your current site. Like the login issue, this is probably a quirk that the DraftKings technical team needs to fix ASAP.

Before you can start enjoying all the features of the DraftKings Sportsbook and Casino mobile app, you need to set up an account with DraftKings. 

How to Sign Up on the App

To set up a DraftKings sign-up account on the app, follow these steps: 

• STEP: 1

  Go to the already installed app on your mobile device and click on sign up

• STEP: 2

  You will be required to input your email and a promo code if you have one. If your friend introduced you to the app, this is the place to put their referral code so that they can earn some bonuses. Click on “Next” when you are done with this part

• STEP: 3

  You will be directed to the next page, where you will enter your first and last name. Ensure your full name matches the name on your Drivers’ license or international passport. Click on “Next’ in the upper right-hand corner

• STEP: 4

  On the next page, the app will ask you to create a username. This username is how you will appear to other users in contests. You can use around 4 to 20 characters for your username without spaces. After you have typed in a username, the DraftKings app will verify that the username is available before you can move further. When this is done, click on “Next” on the upper right-hand corner

• STEP: 5

  Next, the app will ask you to select your location. Not all locations are accepted since DraftKings is not licensed for operation everywhere. Select your country and region/state and click on “Next.”

• STEP: 6

  After that, you will be asked to enter your date of birth, so the app will confirm that you are old enough to play. You must be at least 18 years before you can bet and play on the app. Click on “next” when you are done

• STEP: 7

  Finally, the app will require you to create a strong password. Your password must be 8-20 characters long and contain one letter and one number. After creating your password, read through the app’s terms of use and privacy policy and agree with them before clicking on “Create Account.”

• STEP: 8

  After creating your account, you can turn on notifications for easy use or accept some time-sensitive deposit bonuses the app will offer you. You can skip all these and move straight to the app’s homepage

How to Use the Sportsbook

Here’s how to use the Sportsbook:

• STEP: 1

  When you log in, you will see tabs on top to switch between the Sportsbook, Casino, Marketplace, and other options. Select the Sportsbook section

• STEP: 2

  The app will recommend a list of sports that are frequently bet on. Choose one from them or find your specific sport on a smaller tab at the top of the Sportsbook section

• STEP: 3

  Check for the available games and click on them to find available markets to bet on. Select the ones you are interested in and place your bet

The DraftKings mobile website/version is the mobile version of the DraftKings website. It is similar to the desktop version of the website, but it has been adjusted a little to suit mobile viewing. 

You can find the Sportsbook and casino tabs on the mobile website to place bets and play games. You can also register, log in, connect with friends, enter contests, deposit, withdraw, and do many things possible on the desktop version of the website.

The only difference between the mobile and desktop versions is that the desktop version works on a larger screen so that you can see information more clearly. The mobile version is optimized for smartphone screens, so the information and data on the website are often more minor. This might be an issue for people not used to reading small text. However, you will enjoy the mobile site if you have no problems reading from your phone.

The advantage of the mobile site is that it allows betting and casino gaming on the go. With the desktop version, you always have to carry a laptop, PC or Mac around to bet or play casino games.
