Verdict
Across our scoring rubric, Fanatics Sportsbook edges Sporttrade with a 4.5/5 rating versus 4.4/5. Fanatics entered Colorado in 2023 by absorbing PointsBet's US operations. The differentiator is FanCash; every wager earns 1% back redeemable for jerseys, memorabilia and tickets at Fanatics.com; and the app has the highest App Store rating of any 2023+ launch.
Bettors prioritizing low minimums should note Fanatics Sportsbook accepts $5 deposits versus $10 at the alternative.
Best move: try both. Welcome offers are one-time, so claiming each operator's promo lets you compare apps with real money before settling in.
