DraftKings review: the short version
DraftKings has been taking players since 2022 and is registered with a Canadian provincial regulator. In our review, its main strengths are casino and sportsbook in one account, exclusive jackpot table games and C$5 minimum deposit, while the weak points are no live chat and smaller slot library.
With a score of 6.5/10 it sits in the lower half of our ranking. Its strongest area is licence and its weakest is payments, on the same licence, wagering, payout, games, payments and extras model we use for every casino. Read on for DraftKings's licence and safety, how to log in and register, its bonus maths, games, cashier, app, province availability and closest rivals.
Is DraftKings legit and safe in Canada?
Yes. DraftKings is registered in Ontario and Alberta, which means it is approved by iGaming Ontario, the AGCO and the AGLC and must follow provincial rules on fair games, identity checks, advertising and complaints. Registered sites are the safest choice for players in those provinces.
The operator is DraftKings. Licences listed: iGaming Ontario and AGLC. Before you deposit, check that the licence number in the site's footer matches the regulator's public register; our legit online casinos guide shows how. On our safety scale DraftKings rates Good.
See casino licences explained for how provincial registration compares with other regulators, and how to complain about a casino if a withdrawal is refused.
DraftKings login and official site
The official site is draftkings.com. To log in, open the site, choose Log in, and enter the email or username and password you registered with. If you forget the password, use the reset link on the login form; it is sent to your registered email.
Bookmark draftkings.com and log in from the bookmark; fake login pages that copy casino sites are the most common account theft. A provincially registered site only uses its approved domain. Use two-factor authentication if DraftKings offers it.
How to sign up at DraftKings
- Open draftkings.com and choose Join now.
- Enter your details: email, password, full name, date of birth, address and phone, exactly as they appear on your ID.
- Confirm your email or phone with the code DraftKings sends.
- Set a deposit limit in account settings before you play.
- Make your first deposit (minimum C$5).
- Verify your identity with photo ID and proof of address, which registered sites require before you can play.
You must be 19 or older to play in most provinces, or 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. See our gambling age by province guide and the KYC verification guide for the documents casinos ask for.
DraftKings bonus and promotions
DraftKings is a registered site for Ontario and Alberta only, and provincial rules ban public advertising of casino bonuses there. That is why we do not list a welcome amount: registered operators can show you their offers only after you open an account. Once registered, check the promotions page and your account inbox for the current deal.
When you see an offer, judge it the same way as any bonus: the wagering multiplier, whether it applies to the bonus only, the maximum bet and the expiry. Our wagering calculator turns any offer into a total you need to bet. Players outside Ontario and Alberta can compare offshore offers on our casino bonuses page.
DraftKings games and software providers
DraftKings lists 551+ games, fewer than the median of 4,500 across the casinos we review. The lobby covers slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat and live dealer games.
Games come from studios including NetEnt, IGT, Microgaming and Evolution. Live tables, usually from Evolution or Pragmatic Play Live, include blackjack, roulette, baccarat and game shows. Check each slot's info screen for its RTP at DraftKings: providers offer several versions and casinos choose which to run.
DraftKings deposits and withdrawals
DraftKings lists 3 payment methods. It does not list Interac, so Canadian players will usually rely on Visa, PayPal or Bank transfer.
| Method | Type | Typical payout once approved | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa | Card | 3 to 5 banking days | Some banks decline gambling payments |
| PayPal | E-wallet | Hours to 1 day | Mainly at Ontario-registered sites |
| Bank transfer | Bank wire | 2 to 5 banking days | Used for large withdrawals |
Times in the table are typical for each method in Canada, not promises from DraftKings. Card, e-wallet and voucher deposits arrive instantly; bank transfers take longer.
DraftKings withdrawal time
DraftKings states withdrawals take 3–5 days, which we class as slow (worse than the median of 72 hours across our list). The minimum withdrawal is not stated, and no withdrawal cap is stated in the data we hold.
How to withdraw from DraftKings
- Verify your account with ID and proof of address.
- Finish or cancel any active bonus.
- Open the DraftKings cashier, choose Withdraw and pick the method you deposited with.
- Enter the amount and confirm.
- Wait for approval, then for the payment method's transfer time.
Winnings you withdraw from DraftKings are not taxable for recreational players in Canada (details). For common causes of delays, read how to withdraw from an online casino.
DraftKings app and mobile casino
DraftKings offers an app for iOS and Android, as well as the mobile site.
