DraftKings Sportsbook app teardown
We could not install anything for this one. The phone version is the website, and the website wants 7 taps before a cashout is submitted.

The withdrawal flow, tap by tap
Nothing is inserted into that flow. No offer screen, no second confirm, no card asking whether you would rather keep the money in play. 22 of the 49 flows on this board are that clean, which is fewer than it should be.
Same job in a mobile browser takes 7 taps here, against a board median of 6. Across the whole board the app version averages 5.3 taps and 11 of 31 packages went through 40 sessions without a crash.
GOOD
- Nothing between the confirm button and you
- C$5 gets you in, which is a fair first test
NOT GOOD
- No package to install, so it is the browser or nothing
- Chat keeps office hours, which is not when people play
- Stake ceilings drop fast on the winning side
Getting paid
| Rail | Minimum in | Out | Minimum out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interac e-Transfer | C$5 | 36 hrs | C$10 |
| Visa/Mastercard debit | C$5 | 1–5 days | C$50 |
| Online banking / EFT | C$5 | 2–5 days | C$100 |
Typical wait to a bank account here is 36 hrs. Rail timings are the operator's own published figures; the tap counts above are ours. The rail pages hold the same question one payment method at a time.
All of it measured the same way on every operator on this board, which is the only thing that makes any of these numbers comparable.
