Our Verdict
FanDuel is our top-rated Ohio sportsbook for a reason: it does almost everything well. The app is fast and intuitive, odds are consistently competitive, and withdrawals actually arrive when they say they will. It's not perfect — the ongoing promos for existing users could be better — but for most Ohio bettors, FanDuel is the best place to start.
If you're only going to sign up for one sportsbook, make it this one. If you're smart enough to use multiple apps for line shopping (you should be), FanDuel should still be your primary book.

App & User Experience
This is where FanDuel really shines. The app is fast, clean, and well-organized. Finding your bet takes seconds, not minutes. The bet slip is intuitive. Live betting updates in real-time without constant refreshing.
Odds Quality
FanDuel consistently offers some of the sharpest odds in Ohio, particularly on NFL and NBA spreads. In our daily tracking, FanDuel has the best line about 30% of the time — more than any other Ohio book.
Where FanDuel sometimes lags: prop bets and alternative lines. DraftKings often has better juice on player props. But for standard sides and totals, FanDuel is hard to beat.
Deposits & Withdrawals
This is another area where FanDuel excels. Deposits are instant via most methods. Withdrawals via PayPal and Venmo often process the same day — sometimes within hours. Bank transfers take 2-3 business days.
FanDuel doesn't charge fees for deposits or withdrawals. Minimum withdrawal is just $10.
Who Should Use FanDuel?
Best for: Most Ohio bettors, especially those who value app quality and fast payouts. Great for NFL and NBA betting. Solid for beginners who want a clean, easy experience.
Maybe skip if: You're a prop-heavy bettor (DraftKings has better selection), you want the biggest possible welcome bonus (BetMGM offers more upside), or you've already been limited on FanDuel in another state.
