Draftstars App Overview

The great thing about the Draftstars app is that it looks and feels almost the same as the desktop site. It means that you won’t have a hard time switching from laptop to phone or tablet.

Draftstars are known for having great navigation and making it easy to find the contests you want. Punters will also be pleased to see that all of the features and functionality of the desktop site are available on mobile. Whether you use their Android or iOS app, the layout is almost identical, which is great for punters who have multiple devices.

If you’re not a fan of downloadable apps, note that the Draftstars website is fully optimised for mobile users. All you need to do is visit the site using your phone or tablet’s browser and log in to your account. It works on all devices and screen sizes, so there are no compatibility issues to worry about.

All of Draftstars’ fantasy leagues are available on the app as well. Whether you prefer fantasy NBA, NFL or AFL, Draftstars will have something for you. Every contest type is there as well, including their signature Rapid Fire game mode.

The Draftstars Android App

All of Android users should be pleased to hear that the Draftstars Android app works as good as advertised. The interface follows the same slick design of the website, so you won’t have a hard time adjusting if you first used the web app.

Keep in mind that you can’t get it on the Play Store since Google doesn’t allow any betting apps. Instead, head out to the Draftstars mobile website and simply click the pop-up in the top of the page. It will download the apk file and install the app on your device. Once the installation process is done, enter the Draftstars Android app and start playing right away.

Note that you can use it on both Android phones and tablets.

💡 The Draftstars Android app is optimised to work well on both Android phones and tablets!

App Interface

Even though fantasy sports require a more complex interface that classic sports betting, Draftstars somehow managed to make it all look good even on small screens. However, the homepage alone doesn’t say it much. All you can find is a short beginners guide and their Twitter feed. If you want to see what fantasy sports leagues are on offer, use the menu in the upper left corner to enter the ‘Lobby’.

Punters can access Draftstars’ entire fantasy offering from the “Lobby” page. They have several great filtering options that seamlessly fit any phone screen. You can select leagues based on sport, buy-in size, game mode and so on. Just tap on the contest name if you want to see more. They’ll automatically display everything from prizes to scoring rules and schedules.

Another great feature available only to the Draftstars app users is push notifications. You can turn them on and get notified when the contests start or anything important happens in the game. This way you won’t miss the highlights ever again.

Mobile Payment Methods

Draftstars isn’t known for having an extensive selection of payment options. You can deposit via credit/debit cards, bank EFT or POLi. When it comes to withdrawals, bank transfer is the only option. But on the bright side, all of those are available on Draftstars’ app as well. All you need to do is visit the cashier and select your preferred method.

All of the in-app deposits are instant. However, you’ll have to wait up to 3 days to get your winnings back. It all depends on your bank and how fast they handle the requests. Waiting times are somewhere around the industry standard for EFT transactions, so we don’t have any complaints.

Final Verdict

Draftstars is known as one of the best fantasy sports sites in Australia, and their app hasn’t disappointed us. The most important thing is that all of the fantasy contests and game modes are available on mobile as well. Draftstars’ Android app works excellent, as well as its iOS counterpart.

Pages load quickly, and the interface is as straightforward as it gets. We loved how they managed to make everything look so coherent, even on very small screens. If you’re a fan of fantasy sports, there is no better mobile option than Draftstars.
