SuperDraft Fantasy Sports Review 2024: My Personal Experience with SuperDraft Daily Fantasy

Now, I’m going to warn you here that the welcome bonus is probably going to sound a little bit underwhelming to many of you. But stick with me, as I’ll soon explain why it’s actually among the best DFS welcome promotions around today.

When you first register and deposit $20 or more with the SuperDraft promo code, you will get a $20 bonus in your account. I know what you’re thinking – most other fantasy sports sites offer 100% deposit matches up to $500 for new players.

But here’s the thing folks, while there are a few good ones, most deposit matches actually kinda suck. Generally speaking, you have to spend your real money deposit first, then wager your bonus between one to three times over before withdrawal.

In the end, this often results in you spending and losing more money than you would have if there were no bonus at all. The SuperDraft Fantasy Sports $20 welcome bonus, on the other hand, is instantly playable.

As soon as it lands in your account, you can use it to enter contests straight away. But here’s the best part for me – you can withdraw any winnings made from bonus entries without having to meet a playthrough requirement or jump over any hurdles.

How to sign up to SuperDraft Fantasy Sports

Getting started on SuperDraft is pretty easy – you first need to either head to the website or download the app for the App Store or Google Play. You will then be given the choice between signing up via email or Facebook.

Doing the registration through Facebook might be quicker, but personally, I went for the email option and would advise doing the same. Either way, you have to disclose your data and ID for account verification, but I always advise against linking your social media accounts with DFS and sports betting platforms.

There’s nothing wrong with it per se, but from a privacy perspective, it gives me more peace of mind. Anyway, moving back to the point here’s what you need to sign up:

1. Email Address
2. Username
3. Password
4. Date of Birth
5. Promo code (Optional)

Additionally, you will also need to mark the following two checkboxes:

1. Confirm that you have read and accepted the SuperDraft Terms of Service
2. Agree to the SuperDraft Privacy Policy

Let’s be straight, I know that 99.9% of you will mark both boxes without reading the T&Cs or the privacy policy. And while I strongly advise that you do, I have read through them carefully myself and I found no red flags that I need to frantically wave in your face right now.

Account Verification

The signup process is literally a one-page form that you can complete in a matter of minutes, if not seconds. Another thing that I thought was pretty neat is that automatic verification is attempted when you either make your first deposit or submit your first SuperDraft Fantasy Sports contest entry.

For me, and probably for most of you, this means that verification will also be a thirty-second process that you will barely notice. However, if for any reason your automatic account verification fails, there are three steps that you will be asked to follow.

However, the good news is that if you pass verification at any of these stages you’re done – you don’t have to worry about the next one. Here’s how it goes down:

1. If you fail automatic verification you will need to enter your date of birth (again) and the last four digits of your SSN.
2. If you don’t pass this time, you will be asked to upload an image file of your US government-issued ID card.
3. Should all of this fail you’ll need to contact customer support.

Like me, you probably play fantasy sports and spend a large amount of your downtime on your phone. SuperDraft and most other DFS platforms recognize this, which is why most companies that have launched post-2020 offer an app-only service.

While you can only play and enter SuperDraft Fantasy Sports contests via the app, the website is still a very well-constructed and useful platform in my eyes. Basically, you can access just about everything besides the actual contest.

The homepage has a dark background but is full of cool icons and sports-associated colors – think green, blue and white. When you scroll down, you can find an informative guide to the three main contest types, each of which opens in a new tab when you click on it.

Overall, it even came as something of a shock to me, but this is actually one of the best websites for dynasty fantasy football that I’ve used in 2024. My recommendation if you’re considering SuperDraft is to browse this easy-to-use website so that you’re well-informed about everything before downloading the mobile app.

Background of SuperDraft Fantasy

SuperDraft fantasy sports was started in 2018 by Steven Wang, who remains the CEO of the company to this day. However, it is part of the Caesars Entertainment Inc. family. From my point of view, this gives it the two perfect components for a modern fantasy sports platform.

On the one hand, you’ve got your modern tech-savvy CEO – Steven Wang is the kind of guy that shows up to important events rocking a blazer and baseball cap combo. On the other hand, you have the backing of a big casino and entertainment company which proves that the platform gives it some solid foundations.

Reputation – All the right people are on board

First of all, I’ll start by focussing on SuperDraft Fantasy Sports’ reputation with the most important people – the users. With a 4.8 star rating in the app store, it’s safe to say that the app has a spoiled reputation with those who are using it day-to-day.

While I almost hate to admit it, the reputation among industry heavyweights, experts and all-round bigwigs does matter, but SuperDraft is well regarded in these circles too. The Caesars connection means that it at least hasn’t ticked the wrong people off in the billion-dollar industry side of things.

Meanwhile, CEO Steven Wang comes across as pretty down-to-earth and has been quite successful on the charm offensive. When he rubs shoulders with sports broadcasters on TV and YouTube, you can tell that they find him affable, but there’s also a sense of respect and that they take his company seriously.

The SuperDraft Fantasy Sports player experience – Good from start to finish

You probably already have a pretty good idea of where I’m going to go in this section. So yeah, the player experience on this app is largely very good. The signup and verification process is perhaps the quickest that I’ve seen for a DFS platform, and you can deposit funds and start playing pretty quickly.

However, what I liked the most from my own personal SuperDraft Fantasy Sports experience as a player, was the balance between choice and simplicity. The three contest types provide a streamlined service that I didn’t find convoluted or confusing at any point.

Still, within each type of contest, there were enough selections and ways to play that I’ve never had the feeling I might get bored playing here. When it comes to PGA DFS, that’s quite a hard balance to strike, so I have to give kudos where it’s due.

Mobile gaming at SuperDraft

Three simple steps toward success when playing on mobile

Like all apps, this one works on most modern iOS or Android systems and you can download it and install it from Google Play or the App Store. The first thing that hit me about the SuperDraft Fantasy Sports app was how light it is – just 30 MB.

DFS and sports betting apps are usually pretty clunky, so I was just relieved that I didn’t have to decide which other app was getting sacrificed in its place. Despite its lean size, the app was still packed with features, but short on bugs and other things you don’t want to see.

Like the website, the app has a dark background with high-quality graphics and large buttons that make it easy to make your pro or college football DFS picks. The app is also peppered with nice touches that give it that extra-professional feel.

For instance, when making fantasy props picks, you have official photos of all the players. I don’t want to sound like a snob, but I find that it makes an app feel a little cheap when it can’t show the player’s faces or official team logos.

Fortunately, for my slightly snobbish self, SuperDraft Fantasy Sports feels 100% legit.

You can make deposits of $10 or more into your account using Visa, Mastercard or Discover – just keep in mind that you need to deposit $20 or more to get the welcome bonus. Deposit payments are processed instantly and there are no hidden fees that I could find.

Withdrawals

Now here’s where it always gets interesting for me. I’ve rarely come across a company that wants to make it difficult for us to give them money. That’s why for me, a seamless and quick deposit process is the minimum requirement and not something to shout about.

What does impress me though, is when a DFS app makes it easy for us to get our contest winnings quickly. ACH withdrawals at SuperDraft Fantasy Sports can take up to six days, but I found typically they were done in around two or three.

If you have a non-US bank account (and I include Canada in that) then you have to withdraw your funds via eCheck instead of ACH. These can be processed within one day but can take up to eight business days in some cases.

I’m not exactly going to rave about the customer support at SuperDraft Fantasy Sports, but I’m not going to hate on it too much either. Starting with the positives, I received friendly responses within a decent time frame and was able to resolve my issues to a satisfactory level.

Now let’s move on to the “could do better” section – the only way to contract support is by filling out a request form. There is no in-app live chat, which I have come to take for granted in 2024 – maybe I’m spoiled, who knows?

Finally, customer support is not always available. The team only works Monday – Friday from 10.00 am to midnight EST with the closing time brought forward to 8.00 pm on weekends. While this is fine if you’re in the East Coast USA, it’s not ideal if you’re located outside of the EST time zone.

As fantasy sports are not classed as gambling, SuperDraft is legally available in most of the US and Canada. When it comes to matters of security, the site has solid encryption technology and good account/fund protection.

Prohibited countries – Where is SuperDraft banned?

SuperDraft is currently restricted in some shape or form in 15 US states, and other than Canada, you cannot access it outside of the US. To be honest, this is pretty normal for DFS platforms, which tend not to be popular outside of North America anyway.

Every $1 that you spend when playing SuperDraft Fantasy Sports will get you 2 Rewards Points. You can then exchange these for tickets that you can use to enter DFS contests. Additionally, you can also win SuperCash when you level up, which can also be used to enter contests.

It’s been a good while since I’ve seen a fantasy sports loyalty program that is even halfway decent, so I was pleasantly surprised here. You don’t have to do much to make use of your rewards, so just play, let them come in and spend your points and SuperCash when you can.
