DraftKings Review Australia 2023

It’s hard to argue with the sheer scale of the DraftKings fantasy sports site. The lobby area is absolutely packed with more fantasy sports contests than we’ve ever seen, and DraftKings have done a great job in making sure that everything is relatively easy to navigate.

You’ll find that you can simply use the tabs that allow you to filter the contests in accordance with factors like sport, entry fee, style, total prizes, number of entries and so on. There are also handy tabs that allow you to do everything from creating a contest and creating a lineup at just the push of a button.

Your balance, tickets and number of Crowns will always be displayed in the site header, along with your account section. The account section is where you’ll find your account information and where you can make deposits and withdrawals, update your preferences and access a range of useful statistics regarding your playing activity.

While the DraftKings site is packed with a massive amount of content, we were impressed with the fact that it never felt too slow to load. All of the contests were updated speedily and it was exciting to see how huge numbers of sports fans were all able to compete.

Mobile/App

As fantasy sports is a very modern phenomenon, you might expect that DraftKings would have developed some suitably modern apps for Australian customers. However, we took a look on the fantasy sports Australian site and could only find DraftKings apps that were available for US, UK and Canadian sports fans.

This will probably disappoint anybody who wanted to use DraftKings in Australia via a smartphone or tablet. However you shouldn’t be too discouraged as DraftKings have at least tried to make their standard website as mobile-friendly as possible.

We used the DraftKings site on a smartphone and found that it loaded remarkably quickly and didn’t prove to be too much of a problem to navigate. Browsing the massive amount of tournaments was fairly straightforward and we could simply assemble our fantasy sports teams from the smaller screen of a mobile.

You should also know that you can carry out functions like making deposits and contacting live chat without too much of an issue through your mobile browser. So while it might have been nice for Australian customers to be able to use a DraftKings app, the fact that there isn’t one available shouldn’t put you off using this quality fantasy sports site.

So, is DraftKings secure in the payment methods that it offers? When we created our first DraftKings account, we found that we could use credit cards like Visa and MasterCard. Some customers might have an option for making payments through the PayPal ewallet, but it looks like this ewallet might not be available for use from Australia.

It’s worth noting that the DraftKings FAQ states that they only accept deposits through MasterCard and Visa. Plus you might also be able to make bank transfer deposits from a minimum of $100 at a time. This will require you to contact DraftKings via email to set up this payment method.

You should also know that DraftKings will automatically convert your deposits to US dollars at an exchange rate that is determined by the fantasy sports site. It looks like there isn’t any minimum limit for your deposits, while you might be able to deposit anywhere up to at least $600 at a time.

DraftKings fail to state what the requirements are for making withdrawals. But they will only pay you your winnings to the same payment method used for making your deposits. Again this is confused by the fact that the DraftKings FAQ states that they only allows withdrawals via a cheque. So be sure to get in contact with the DraftKings customer support team so as to avoid disappointment and clarify the process.

So is DraftKings reliable in terms of helping their loyal customers? We’ve noticed a few DraftKings reviews that have suggested that this fantasy site have put together a responsive and friendly customer service team, so we couldn’t wait to see how they could help us out.

We found that DraftKings have three simple ways that you can get in touch with one of their customer service representatives. The simplest option is to use the free live chat service that can be found on the Contact Us page. You’ll also find an email contact form here, along with an American telephone number that’s unfortunately probably not too much use for DraftKings Australia customers.

It’s also worth noting that the DraftKings customer service office is open between 6am and midnight everyday on American Eastern time which could also prove problematic for sports fans in Australia.

But you should know that there’s a very in-depth FAQ section here that should earn some good DraftKings reviews as it can give you a good grounding in everything from account management to deposits and withdrawals. Plus you can also contact DraftKings via their social media channels on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

You’ll have probably read many DraftKings reviews and will know that this is one of the world’s most respected fantasy sports sites. Despite this, it’s still a good idea to ask yourself ‘Is DraftKings secure?’ before you grant them access to your personal details and sensitive financial information.

You can take some comfort from the fact that DraftKings’ Australian site is fully licensed for online gambling by the Northern Territory Racing Commission. This means that it should be legal to bet here across most of Australia, although residents in South Australia may find themselves unable to use this fantasy sports betting service.

This license should mean that DraftKings have shown that they can provide their customers with a safe and fair online gambling experience. But is DraftKings secure in terms of how they keep your data safe? You should know that DraftKings will keep all confidential information safeguarded through SSL encryption technologies.

Is DraftKings reliable in ensuring that you get fair results? The site clearly display their Fair Play Commitment in the footer of their site, and they even include a section dedicated to average results so that you can get an idea of what to expect when you’ve signed up.

While it’s easy to ask ‘Is DraftKings secure?’, it’s also worth keeping tabs on your own sports betting. This is something that DraftKings realise as they allow you to set your own deposit and loss limits, plus you can always exclude yourself from the fantasy sports betting service if you wish to do so at any point.

We’ve already talked about the fact that DraftKings have a couple of deposit bonuses that are well worth investigating. But it doesn’t stop there as DraftKings also have some other interesting promotions and rewards.

The simplest deal is DraftKings’ Refer A Friend offer. Just get a friend to sign up to DraftKings and make a $10 or more deposit and you’ll both get a $10 NFL Showdown ticket in return.

By clicking on the Promos tab of the DraftKings site, you’ll also find other special tournaments that are well worth taking note of. These can range from anything like their $150K King of the Pitch soccer competition to the massive NBA $4M Basketball World Championship.

DraftKings missions, achievements and rewards

DraftKings also have a cool Missions promotion. This gives you a special task to complete each day and by doing so you will win Crowns. For example, when we clicked on the Missions tab we found that we just had to play in any fantasy sports contest with an entry fee of $1 or more. By doing this we could get 15 Crowns.

These Crowns are a kind of currency that DraftKings customers use to enter contests and buy merchandise from the shop. Picking up Crowns means that you will climb higher up the Daily Rewards Status Tier. This means that you could get daily rewards in the form of more Crowns, special contest tickets and even DK Dollars.

You can also accrue more Crowns by entering in one of the many Achievements promotions put on by DraftKings. These cover top sports like PGA golf, NFL American football, NBA basketball, NHL ice hockey and much more. You’ll get through these Achievements by playing certain lineups or achieving some specific playing statistics in certain fantasy sports competitions.
