E&K: ‘Significant’ gap after top in-play sportsbooks
FanDuel, DraftKings and bet365 ranked first through third, respectively, in Eilers & Krejcik review of in-play betting on US sportsbooks.

DraftKings (16.4 points) ranked behind on user experience and did not process bets as quickly as FanDuel or bet365 (16.0 points). The fastest “by far” for in-play bets was bet365.
The reported noted a “significant gap” between the top three, and fourth-ranked Tipico (15.1 points) and fifth-ranked PointsBet (14.9 points). Each had bright spots, though: Tipico’s bet-processing times and layout impressed while PointsBet posted “good but not great” scores across the board.
