My latest Owners Box review unearthed several great perks that have sent this DFS site’s ratings through the roof. If it’s not the generous up to $500 welcome offer, it’s the comprehensive choice of contests.
This isn’t your regular DFS site, but is the poster child of innovation, as evidenced by its unique game variations. It pulls out Lightning Lineups and Superflex from its bag of tricks, making it easier to create your dream team and rake in those fantasy points.
Bonuses remain the best way for DFS operators to garner attention to their sites, and this platform isn’t dishing out any half-backed deals. It offers not one but two welcome bonuses to new hopefuls.
The first is a matched deposit bonus giving you the chance to double your initial deposit up to $500. I’ve seen a lot of DFS welcome packages, and this one is a pretty good deal. Plus, you only have to deposit a minimum of $10 to unlock this bonus. You don’t need to enter an Owners Box promo code, streamlining the bonus claiming process further.
On top of the deposit bonus, I managed to score myself what is known as OwnersBucks alongside a few tickets. These are virtual currency used on the platform, but you can swap them out for prizes when you enter paid contests. The tickets, conversely, are bonus money you can use to enter daily fantasy contests.
The next stop in my review was to check out the site itself, and I wasn’t disappointed. Given tech advancement and technology is the operator’s strong suit, I’m pleased that this platform lived up to the billing. The site adopts a streamlined approach that ensures users aren’t overwhelmed by screen clutter.
Navigating the site does take some getting used to. I’ll be honest: I did have to look around for a bit to find exactly what I wanted, especially a specific contest. But as soon as I got the hang of it, jumping from one page to the next was effortless. It helped that the menus were easy to get used to and quite effective. Also, loading speeds were quick. I didn’t encounter any lags or network drops, making the experience enjoyable.
From the home page, you can see several sections, including the list of available contests, player news, promotions, and your group contests. I also liked the blog section, which I found quite informative and updated with current happenings on the site. When you sign in to your account, it’s possible to view your account details. You can use the player dashboard to sift out your desired section, such as account profile, OwnersBucks balance, and reward level.
The platform has a downloadable app for its Android and iOS users that is available free of charge. While it’s optional to download, I think it’s worth it if you want to enjoy daily fantasy sports in the palm of your hand.
Upon opening the app, I noticed OwnersBox does a good job of scaling down the website to a manageable handheld experience. Visually, it doesn’t quite look like the website, but this in no way interferes with your user experience. It boasts a modern and intelligent design that makes it easy to maneuver around and enter contests, making it one of my favorite Daily Fantasy apps.
Speaking of contests, the ones you’ve already entered are the first to pop up when you sign in. To move elsewhere, tap on the “O” icon, and you’re immediately shown additional menu options, including your dashboard. I also love the Live Scoring feature, which kept me in the loop by providing me with real-time updates on contests.
The Power Rankings is also another stand out feature that allows you to see the best players for each sports based on their performance. This, by the way, did wonders for my drafting. I also like how one can easily toggle between the dark and light color schemes at just the touch of a button.
For now, users have two options to fund accounts. You can use online banking through your bank and considering the operator partners with over 100 banks, you shouldn’t have trouble finding yours. Otherwise, you can deposit via your debit or credit card. It’s worth pointing out that the credit card option is for deposits only. $10 is the minimum you can deposit on the platform, but you can deposit up to $1,000.
Players also have two ways to withdraw funds. You can use the same online banking service you used to deposit for cash withdrawals. In fact, the platform automatically returns your funds to the same account you used to deposit. The other option is to request a check, and the platform will deliver your funds by mail. As you can imagine, the latter isn’t the best option. It can take up to 10 days to get your money, give or take. You have to wait up to 5 days if you go the online banking route.
You get to experience this operator’s unique customer support system the moment you sign up. As soon as you provide your basic information, you automatically go through an onboarding process of sorts, guiding you from verification until you enter your first contest.
Additional support is available in the form of a detailed FAQ section, tutorials, and blogs. If you’d like to engage with someone, use the live chat platform. Sadly, it doesn’t run around the clock. You’ll have to send an email or fill out the on-site web form for those times the live chat team is out of the office.
I also managed to get help via the brand’s social media pages. Simply follow Owners Box Daily Fantasy Sports on Facebook and X, and send your message there. The support team will be in touch as soon as possible.

This platform is as legitimate as they come. Launched in 2019, it’s still relatively new but already live in nearly 40 US states, which makes it a safe brand in my books. The operator is against underage gambling and doesn’t permit players under 18 to access the site. The exact cut-off age will depend on your state, so you might want to double-check the fine print.
I won’t bore you with the technical software jargon, but I can assure you the site runs on an encrypted platform. Even though you don’t need to reveal much personal information to join the site, rest easy knowing your privacy is still maintained.
I found a unique rewards program dubbed OwnersBucks, after its virtual currency. Each time you enter a paid contest, a percentage of your entry fee is forwarded to your bankroll as OwnersBucks.
It’s a multi-tier rewards program comprising 8 levels. Your level is determined by the total number of paid contests you’ve participated in. For instance, “Rookie” is the first level reserved for players who have played in 9 or fewer contests. You’re credited with 1% of your entry fees in this tier.
Should you work your way up and play in over 1,000 contests, you earn the “Goat” status, which is the highest level. Players in this level get 4.5% for each $10 they spend on entry fees. You’re more than welcome to convert your OwnersBucks into real cash, subject to the $10 minimum withdrawal. If not, you can plow them back by entering more tournaments and cash contests.
There was plenty to like at Owners Box Daily Fantasy and very little to nitpick. I’m hoping the operator adds more fantasy sports leagues to the available list, seeing as they only offer a handful.
However, the site stands out with its unique game formats you won’t find anywhere else. These certainly add a layer of strategy and excitement to DFS. In my opinion, OwnersBox may not be one of the biggest or best DFS sites around, but it’s gunning for the number one spot where innovation and creativity are concerned. All in all, it’s a great platform for both recreational and seasoned gamers alike, and you should give it a shot.
The platform doesn’t have that many game variants and only offers two main gaming modes. Surprisingly, though, I quickly fell in love with these. The first is the Lightning Lineups, which is the format where you start the process with a spin. Three different lineups are shown. You keep spinning up until you find a lineup you believe will give you the most fantasy points. If ever you want to enjoy a quick DFS game, that’s the way to go.
The second game mode is the SuperFlex, which adds an extra layer of excitement and a unique twist to the traditional DFS game. Not to mention that it gives players more control over their DFS experience. This contest adds a flexible position you can fill up with any player while staying within the salary cap. The stakes may not be that high with this format, but at least you keep that winning streak up.
In terms of league sports, there are only four: NHL, NBAM NHL, and MLB. I found that quite limiting, but grapevine suggests that more are to be added soon.
There are plenty of ways for you to get involved in the various contests without stretching your limit. Tournaments are where the big players go, what with maximum player salary caps pegged at $200,000. You can also join the Snake Draft and put your team together using players you draw as opposed to picking them yourself.
I also had the privilege to set up private contests with my friends for free or paid entry. Regardless of the contest you choose, you can take advantage of Lightning Lineup and SuperFlex formats to create that winning fantasy team.
I was disappointed that I did not find a dedicated community forum. Still, that wasn’t a train smash because the brand uses other ways to foster social interactions.
It has a strong social media presence and is active on all the platforms that matter. I’m talking about your Facebook, Discord, Twitter, Instagram, and even TikTok. Joining these was for me a great way to talk shop on the latest football news with my DFS buddies and meet new friends.
Owners Box presents a generous bonus for its new players in the form of a 100% deposit match up to $500. However, not all new players can claim it. You need to reside in one of the states in which the site is legally operating. Not only that, but you have to be physically present in that state to claim the offer. Also, eligible players are those aged 18 years and up.
You start by creating an account with the site, which doesn’t take too long. Next, you log in and deposit to start playing. Click “Spin” until you find the lineup you think is a winner. Pick the lineup you reckon will get you the most points and follow your team of players live.
Yes, Owners Box DFS is legal to operate in 36 states across the US. Examples include but aren’t limited to Alabama, Arkansas, Alaska, California, Colorado, and Florida. You won’t find the site in states like Arizona and Delaware that don’t allow daily fantasy sports or any other kind of gambling, for that matter.
There are weekly fantasy contests for players who don’t have the patience to stick around for a season-long draft. Players can build their teams and compete against other teams in multi-week tournaments. Featured contests with different entry fees are also part of the fun. You can decide to play weekly contests against other players or private contests with your friends.
Yes, OwnersBox has an interesting rewards program that is built around its virtual currency, OwnersBucks. Depending on your tier, you receive these when you join the platform and earn more from participating in different paid contests. You can later exchange them for real cash.
This is a platform that dares to be different, and its boldness has paid off. It’s not every day that you see a DFS brand displaying such a healthy signup bonus coupled with free tickets to exciting tournaments. The one-of-a-kind rewards program makes playing on the site both fun and worthwhile.
The site’s user experience is satisfactory, owing to the well-organized menus and filters. The app was a pleasure to use and came with some cool features designed to enhance user experience. Overall, the team did a good job creating an enjoyable platform for DFS enthusiasts.
I can confidently say that Owners Box Daily Fantasy Sports is a viable DFS option. They got a lot of things right, but there’s always room for improvement. If it could streamline the withdrawal process or open up live chat 24/7, I’d give it the 5-star rating it deserves.
