Fanatics – Our Verdict
Fanatics is known as one of the world’s largest sports retail brands, but its sportsbook has quickly become a big name in the US gambling industry since launching in 2023. After acquiring PointsBet, Fanatics Sportsbook gained additional licenses and expanded its reach across multiple states.
The betting site’s FanCash rewards program helps it stand out from the crowd. Every eligible bet can earn FanCash, which can be redeemed for bonus bets, Fanatics merchandise, and, in some cases, cash. For sports fans who regularly buy jerseys, hats, collectibles, or team gear, this is a huge plus.
About Fanatics
Fanatics was established back in 1995 as an online sports merchandise retailer and has since expanded into licensed apparel, collectibles, trading cards, memorabilia, and now sports betting. The site has relationships with many of the world’s biggest sporting brands and all major US leagues, allowing it to sell official merchandise.
With these relationships and the growth of online betting across the US, it’s no surprise that Fanatics looked to get into the game. Its sportsbook launched in 2023 and scaled rapidly after Fanatics acquired PointsBet’s US operations. The deal, completed in April 2024, helped Fanatics add licenses, trading infrastructure, market depth, and experienced sportsbook personnel. Fanatics Sportsbook is now live in 23 US states plus Washington, D.C.
Fanatics Welcome Bonuses
To attract new bettors and keep existing customers happy, the site offers potentially lucrative promotions for eligible customers, with bonus structures varying state-by-state. All offers are subject to eligibility rules, location requirements, opt-in conditions, expiry periods, and state-specific terms.
Primary Offer – 10x $100 Bet Match in FanCash
The most common offer you’ll see at Fanatics is a package of “10x $100 Bet Match” promos, allowing eligible bettors to earn up to $1,000 in FanCash across their first 10 qualifying days registered on the sportsbook.
To qualify, you’ll first need to sign up and verify your Fanatics Sportsbook account. Then you’ll need to make a wager of at least $1 on any market at odds of -500 or longer.
Whatever your stake was on that bet, you’ll receive back as FanCash to use on any Fanatics product, including its sports merchandise store, on bonus bets, or on partnered stores in the FanCash program. Over the course of your first ten days, this offer is repeated, meaning you can gain up to $1,000 in rewards (up to $100 in FanCash value per qualifying day). All the FanCash expires seven days after it has been issued, which is in line with most industry-standard terms.
This offer is available across eligible Fanatics Sportsbook states, though the exact terms and availability can change. You should always check the promotion shown inside the Fanatics app before opting in.
Secondary Offer – Bet $20, Get $350 in Bonus Bets
Fanatics also has a secondary offer for new customers, without the FanCash element of the bonus. This offer gives you $50 in Bonus Bets each day when you place a qualifying wager of $20 on any market with odds of -500 or above. This offer runs for seven days from the day you sign up for the site, and you’ll need to opt in every day to receive the full value of the bonus.
To opt in, you’ll need to toggle this promotion when you sign up, rather than the $1000 in FanCash offer. This will activate it and ensure you get this reward rather than the primary offer.
Fanatics Account Verification
To comply with US and state laws, Fanatics must verify customer identities to prevent underage gambling, fraud, and financial crimes. The process is simple, however.
You’ll be asked to provide your full legal name, date of birth, phone number, residential address, and the last four digits of your Social Security Number. Additional documentation, such as a photo ID, proof of address, or payment-method verification, may also be required. You’ll be able to use most of the sportsbook’s features while the process is ongoing.
Fanatics Payment Methods
You can fund your Fanatics Sportsbook account and cash out your winnings using a wide range of trusted payment methods, though availability may vary by state depending on local availability and state regulations. Deposit and withdrawal options can include PayPal, debit cards, Apple Pay, Venmo, online bank transfer, Play+, bank wire, and check by mail.
Deposits are usually instant, but withdrawal times can vary based on your chosen payment method. E-wallets like PayPal and Venmo are usually the quickest, taking around 24 hours to reach you, while bank cards and ACH can take several business days. If you’re requesting a check or an online bank transfer, you might be waiting up to 10 business days.
Fanatics Betting Features
At Fanatics, users can access props, live betting, same-game parlays, early cash out, and adjust betting lines. One of the strongest features is the FanCash rewards system, which rewards your wagering by giving you credits you can use on Bonus Bets of official apparel.
Another feature exclusive to Fanatics is Squad Bets, which lets you pick between three and six players and wager on a combined over/under prop target. The dedicated Fanatics Sportsbook app also includes a clean bet slip, quick navigation, market search, live stats, live betting menus, and useful statistics to help inform your betting decisions.
Fanatics Sports & Markets
Fanatics Sportsbook covers the standard US sports menu, including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, college basketball, soccer, MMA, boxing, tennis, golf, NASCAR, and F1.
Market coverage is strongest in major US leagues, player props, alternate lines, golf, motorsports, and tennis. International soccer and esports coverage is more limited than some larger competitors, but Fanatics will still offer most of what you’d expect from a top-tier sportsbook.
Football
Like many sportsbooks, Football is covered well at Fanatics. You’ll find all the usual betting markets – including moneylines, spreads, totals, player and team props. You’ll also find a decent range of live markets, and you have the ability to adjust the betting line.
Basketball
Fanatics offers both pro and (where available) collegiate basketball markets, alongside international markets. Bettors can access spreads, totals, moneylines, player props, same-game parlays, live betting, and some really good offers around major events such as the NBA Playoffs and March Madness.
Baseball
Compared to some of its competitors, MLB betting is well stocked at Fanatics, with moneylines, run lines, totals, props, same-game parlays, futures, and a great range of live betting markets available throughout the season. With Fanatics’ range of MLB merch, its FanCash system can be a real benefit to Baseball fans.
Hockey
Fanatics Sportsbook offers NHL betting markets, including game lines, totals, player props, live betting, futures, and promotional wagering offers. Coverage is strongest for NHL markets, with selected additional hockey options depending on season and state.
Fanatics Customer Support
If you encounter any issues, Fanatics offers customer support 24/7 over its live chat service, although in our experience, we found the AI quite clunky and difficult to navigate. Luckily, the operator also offers support through social media channels, email, and on a toll-free US phone number.
Fanatics Responsible Gambling Tools
Fanatics Sportsbook provides responsible gambling tools designed to keep your gambling safe and fun. The site offers deposit, wagering, and time limits, alongside session reminders, temporary timeouts, and access to self-exclusion programs tied to the bettor’s state of residence. In addition, it offers signposting to problem gambling charities and third-party organizations like the National Council on Problem Gambling.
