Summary

After reading mixed reviews about Fanatics’ rollout, I decided to test-drive the Fanatics Sportsbook app in New Jersey and compare it with its offerings in other legal states. Below is an updated, SEO-optimized look at the operator’s bonuses, banking, markets and unique features now that the PointsBet brand has fully migrated.

Why Should You Choose Fanatics?

• Massive footprint: Live online in 22 states and Washington D.C. including New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Illinois.
• FanCash rewards: Earn up to 10% FanCash on every wager—redeemable 1-for-1 as bonus bets or for team gear on Fanatics.com.
• Fair Play policy: Single-player props are voided (and legs recalculated in parlays) if the athlete exits early through injury, protecting bettors from DNP heartbreaks.
• Deep markets & tech: Same-Game Parlays, live streaming for major U.S. leagues, Early Cash-Out and rapid search via the in-house Amelco trading engine.
• Seamless migration: Former PointsBet customers keep logins, balances and responsible-gaming limits; in a handful of jurisdictions the book may still appear as “PointsBet, a Fanatics Experience” until regulators approve a full reskin.

Bonuses

Offer	Eligible States
Bet $30 Get $300 Bonus Bets	NJ, MI, PA
Bet $50 Get $250 Bonus Bets	AZ, CO, CT, IL, IN, LA, MA, MD, NC, OH, TN, VA, WV
Up to $1,000 No-Sweat Bets	Most remaining Fanatics states
100% Profit-Boost Daily	NY Exclusive

Depositing and Withdrawing

The deposit methods offered by Fanatics are pretty standard, with no major surprises in terms of those that are included and those that are left out. A few more eWallets options like Skrill would be good, but the fact that there are a few cash options in some states helps to make up for that. The states with cash options are NJ, IA, and IL, so if you live anywhere else you will feel a bit limited in your options for depositing.

• Debit card (Visa / Mastercard)
• PayPal / Venmo
• Apple Pay
• ACH / Online Bank
• Wire Transfer
• Cash @ retail partner

If you get your wagers right and win money, you can take it out a limited number of ways, as shown below. Again, it isn’t an extensive choice, but those people who live in NJ, IA, and IL have at least got a cash option to use.

Withdrawal method	Expected time
Paypal	Up to two business days
Online banking	Up to three business days
ACH / eCheck	Up to two business days
Cash options	Up to 24 hours processing time

When you decide to join up, the process for doing so is as short as I had hoped it would be. I just had to fill in a few details, including the last four numbers of my SSN for verification purposes. A responsible gambling section allows you to set your own limits and self-exclude if you ever need to take a break.

I found this site easy to use and the experience was good but not remarkable.

The Mobile App

Fanatics is mobile-only—no desktop wagering. The iOS version holds a 4.8★ rating on 131 k reviews, while Android clocks in at 4.6★. Navigation mirrors a social feed: marquee odds, trending bets and your personalized Discover page appear on launch, and a universal search bar surfaces any team or market in seconds. Live streams for NFL, NBA and MLB games integrate directly into the bet slip

Betting Options

• Market depth: Hundreds of pre-game markets plus live micro-betting on drives, pitches and possessions.
• Same-Game Parlays: Build prop combos across player stats with real-time pricing.
• “Name a Bet”: Request bespoke markets; traders reply with odds within the app.
• Early Cash-Out & Partial Cash-Out: Lock profits or cut losses before the final whistle.
• FanCash multipliers: 5% back on SGPs, 3% on traditional parlays, 1% on singles—auto-credited after settlement

Odds Comparison

Fanatics competitive on moneylines and NBA spreads, occasionally outperforming legacy books on NFL totals, while niche leagues can be ± 5 cents off market leaders. Daily odds boosts in the Discover tab often restore parity or better.

What Other Betting Products Do They Offer?

• Fanatics Casino (MI, NJ, PA, WV) features IGT, Light & Wonder and Evolution live tables, plus a daily free spin wheel.
• Retail sportsbooks and ticketed lounges at stadiums in AZ, CT, IL, IA, MD and OH combine merchandise, memorabilia and wagering under one roof.
• Fanatics Collect marketplace lets bettors redeem FanCash for trading cards and memorabilia, further blending commerce and betting ecosystems.

Verdict

Fanatics Sportsbook keeps everything that players loved about PointsBet’s creativity while fixing its weak loyalty scheme and broadening its state reach. The combination of FanCash, flexible welcome offers and a slick native app makes Fanatics a go-to option for U.S. bettors who value both sports merchandise and sharp lines.
