Review: OwnersBox Fantasy

OwnersBox DFS features a clean, modern, and user-friendly interface that’s easy to navigate. The secret lies in the way the app is built. Instead of making individual content sections larger, the developers relied on expanding parts. So, for instance, when you click on a player, you’ll only see additional stats if you tap on the tile. Gambla loves it when fantasy sites rely on intuitive controls and not on gimmicks.

The platform offers a seamless experience, with not too many menus and quick access to everything. Yes, there’s a lot of content to sift through, but it’ll at least be efficient. There are also plenty of helpful resources, such as tutorials and strategy guides.

To test the feasibility of the guides, we tasked our team member who hasn’t played fantasy to try it out. Surprisingly, it took him just 10-15 minutes to learn about key stats, lineup construction, and how payouts work. That’s exactly the type of outcome you want to see in a website that brands itself as beginner-friendly.

The OwnersBox DFS mobile app is available on the Play Store and the App Store. In terms of UX, it offers a similar user experience to the desktop version, with an intuitive interface and easy navigation. We’d even go as far as to say that it’s better than the Jock MKT DFS app. The overwhelmingly black design serves as a great foundation for white highlights and stats tables. It’s like a well-oiled machine.

With push notifications, you can stay up-to-date on the latest news, promotions, and contest updates. The app also includes a live scoring feature, enabling you to get info straight from the horse’s mouth. One thing we like about the system is the fact that it isn’t intrusive. You’ll receive notifications only for important things and score changes, which is what you want for betting on the go.

In terms of ease of use, we’d put the OwnersBox app right above DraftKings and FanDuel.

OwnersBox DFS focuses on quality over quantity when it comes to payment methods. And to be fair, it’s the best way to handle players’ finances. Instead of accepting a dozen or so shady e-wallets, OwnersBox lets you deposit and withdraw with the classics. So, expect to see credit cards, bank transfers, and of course, PayPal, among other things.

All deposits are instant, and as far as we could tell, this DFS site uses all the latest security measures. There have been no data leaks or money laundering allegations against them, which is always great to see.

For withdrawals, you’ll automatically get a payout via the option you deposited with. So, if you want to avoid week-long waiting times, we’d suggest you use PayPal. Our withdrawals arrived in a day or two, which is pretty decent, all things considered. We also appreciate how OwnersBox DFS is fair when it comes to refunds. As long as you didn’t place any bets, you can contact support and get a refund on your deposit. Classy, we like it.

Contrary to popular belief, good support isn’t just about hiring the right agents. Gambla would argue that availability is even more important. After all, you should be able to get all your problems at a moment’s notice. Thankfully, OwnersBox DFS is pretty adept when it comes to assisting its users.

The platform offers multiple channels for support, including live chat, email, and a comprehensive Help Center. Now, this is the part we enjoy. With dozens upon dozens of FAQs and explanations, you’re bound to find anything eventually.

From the get-go, we noticed the support staff are well-trained. If you don’t understand something, they’ll even type out a step-by-step guide for you. They are available seven days a week during standard business hours, ensuring that assistance is always readily available when you need it.

OwnersBox DFS is a fully licensed and regulated DFS website, which means your data and money is safe with them.

It’s important to keep in mind that Lightning Lineups are not available in Ohio, Tennessee, New Hampshire and Maryland. This is because some regulators consider this particular feature as a casino game, which is debatable, to say the least.

Keep in mind that this information is valid as of April 2023. We’ll keep updating this review, but be sure to check the official OwnersBox DFS website for first-hand news.

OwnersBox DFS offers a myriad of player incentives and bonuses as promotions but with a twist expected from a premium brand like them. These includes deposit bonuses and free contest entries or certain specific sports or event promotions.

To further the incentive there’s a referral scheme, whereby you get to earn more by referring your friends to OwnersBox DFS. While participating in the contests and other activities on the platform, they’ll be sending you customized promos as you keep participating in different contests. This de-facto tier is invitation-only, so you’ll need some significant commitment to earn this privilege.

But there are also plenty of smaller offers. All new players get a batch of OwnersBucks, which serve as free contest tickets and a chance to win real money. Despite the lack of big sums, Gambla likes the promos at OwnersBox for how engaging they are.
