Overview

Given how highly regarded FanDuel is for its fantasy competitions in Illinois, we weren't surprised to find its user-experience expertise translates to the sportsbook side of the business in 2023.

Straight off the bat we were greeted with a plethora of options to bet on. All the major sports are covered like the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL, and even some weird international sports like Australian Rules Football and Cricket for the discernible Illinois sports fan that has nothing else to do at 3AM!

What really sets FanDuel Sportsbook apart from its competitors in IL in 2023, apart from its slick interface, is its live betting markets. We were amazed by how many options there were and found it a lot of fun to keep engaged with the game while it was happening in real time with some of the prop bets on offer.

FanDuel Sportbook's Get a $1,000 No Sweat First Bet in Illinois gives us a free stack of cash after signing up. Another one knocked right out of the park. Awesome value for new sports bettors in IL.

Simply put, betting with FanDuel in Illinois is some of the best value for money out of all the sportsbooks we've seen in IL. FanDuel is backed by the huge international conglomerate Flutter Entertainment, which owns sportsbooks all over the world, so you know your money is safe, too. We highly recommend FanDuel Sportsbook in Illinois!

Step 3: Enter Your Personal Information

You'll then need to provide your First Name, Last Name, DOB, Phone Number and Address. 

Your address should be available from the FanDuel Sportsbook database (similar to how you can find where you live on Google Maps) – you start typing your address and it will pre-populate for you to select.

Make sure to use the address function (presuming your address appears and you can), as it lets the system make a match and speed the whole process up. If you type out your address manually it can trigger a manual check which gets humans involved and, as we know, humans are slow at things like this.

A little further down you'll be asked for the last four digits of your SSN.

Why does FanDuel Sportsbook ask for SSN?

Legal sportsbooks, including FanDuel, need to know things like your address and SSN to make sure that new players are legitimately new, and to qualify your account. Don't be alarmed, these are standard boxes they need to tick to get you playing and won't come up again once you're in.

FanDuel Sportsbook also gives you the option to opt-in to two-factor authentication. We asked around the office and the Dimers team went either way on this. If you're unsure, we suggest you set this up as it's straightforward and as they claim, gives you an extra layer of protection.

Once you've completed all the above, the final step is to check a number of boxes to agree to the terms and conditions.

Click the CONFIRM IDENTITY button.

Step 4: FanDuel Sportsbook Confirmation

You're just about there. As hinted above, during the confirmation step the sportsbooks may need additional info to fully verify your account. Again, nothing to be alarmed at and chances are won't be required.
