After Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the HB 29 bill into law on December 22, 2021, the state officially welcomed sports betting on January 1, 2023. Fanatics Sportsbook quickly joined the OH market after legalization, becoming one of the first sports betting operators to do so.

After months of beta testing, Fanatics was finally able to launch its sports betting site in Ohio in August 2023. Fanatics also has two retail locations in Ohio, one at Nationwide Arena in Columbus and the other at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

The Fanatics brand has long been associated with sports apparel and merchandise, thanks to its licensing deals with every major sports league in the United States. However, its sports betting branch is still in its infancy stages, having only launched in Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Tennessee.

Fanatics Sportsbook has only been operational since January 2023. Despite relative newness in the gambling space, they have already made a name for themselves in the sports betting industry.

In the App Store, Fanatics Sportsbook currently holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating from more than 5,000 reviews.

Here are all the routes you can take when looking for help with Fanatics Sportsbook.

Our expert opinion of Fanatics Sportsbook

In our expert opinion, Fanatics Sportsbook still has some adjustments to make to compete with other Ohio betting operators, but there are signs that things are moving in the right direction.

We particularly appreciate the loyalty program, which allows players to earn FanCash on every wager they make. The FanCash can then be used for betting perks or to purchase memorabilia and merchandise from the Fanatics stores.

To improve its standing, Fanatics should look into adding more banking methods and improving the app performance. These things should come with time, but the sooner the company makes those adjustments, the better.

OH Betting has given Fanatics Sportsbook an overall rating of 3 out of 5. The overall rating has been based on these factors:

  • Welcome bonus: Rating 3/5.

    The Fanatics Ohio promo is limited by a stringent daily redemption structure and a relatively short bonus validity period, despite a generous up to $1,000 offer in Bonus Bets for new customers.

  • Payment options: Rating 3/5. The list of accepted payment options with Fanatics is quite short compared to other Ohio operators. Credit cards aren't accepted for deposits, and Apple Pay is deposit only. Expansion here is needed.
  • Sportsbook app: Rating 3/5. Though the app is still relatively new to the sports betting scene, some of the bugs are rather surprising. The early cashout is inconsistent in its effectiveness, and the geolocation tool still needs some fine-tuning.
  • Variety and features: Rating 4/5. Being able to earn FanCash on every wager placed is a nice touch and will reward returning players for continued use. There is also a reasonable array of same game parlay markets, as well as standard markets and bet types.
  • Customer support: Rating 4/5. Fanatics has a 24/7 support chat option as well as phone and email support. It is also very responsive to app store reviews. However, not having these same resources available in a webpage version (the platform is app or in-person only) does hold Fanatics back.
