Boom Fantasy

Boom Fantasy is a smaller, New York-founded daily fantasy operator that pivoted from salary-cap DFS to a pick'em-plus-multiplier hybrid. The parent company, Boom Sports Inc., has been around since the 2015 DFS gold rush but has stayed niche compared to DraftKings, FanDuel or PrizePicks. Today Boom markets itself as a value-oriented pick'em alternative with a few format twists you will not find elsewhere.

Overview

Boom runs three pick'em variants: Toss-Ups (traditional over/unders, 2–5 selections), Favorites (build a lineup of only favored sides, lower multipliers but higher hit rate) and Longshots (2–3 underdog picks for fat payouts). A "Boom Wheel" feature lets users spin a virtual multiplier anywhere from 2x to 500x on qualifying lineups. Sports covered are NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, college basketball, UFC, PGA and soccer. As of April 2026 Boom Fantasy is active in roughly 26 states including Alaska, Arkansas, California, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Welcome Offer

The standard new-user promo is a $100 first-entry refund (deposit-matched bonus picks if your first lineup loses) plus a $10 free entry on signup. Some affiliate codes push the matched amount to $250 during NFL season.

Product Depth

Payout ladder: Favorites pay 1.3x to 3x, Toss-Ups pay 3x to 20x, and Longshots pay 10x on a 2-pick and 40x on a 3-pick. Boom is against-the-house in most operating states. The Favorites mode is the genuinely interesting innovation — it is the only major pick'em app that explicitly caters to bettors who want lower variance than a 20x PrizePicks ladder. Stat-line depth is noticeably thinner than PrizePicks or Underdog; you will find fewer exotic props and shorter markets for secondary sports.

Banking

Deposits via Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay and online banking. Withdrawals via PayPal (usually 24 hours) or ACH (2–5 business days). $10 minimum deposit, $20 minimum withdrawal.

Ongoing Promos

• Daily free entry drops for logged-in users

• Refer-a-friend $25 bonus
• Seasonal leaderboards tied to major NFL/NBA slates

Regulatory Reality

Boom Fantasy was not named in the headline Florida or Massachusetts cease-and-desist batches, largely because it is smaller and flies under regulators' radar. That said, it complies with the same state blocks as the bigger operators: not available in New York (2024 pick'em ban), Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Iowa, Arizona, New Hampshire, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Hawaii or West Virginia. Expect the Boom state map to contract if regulators in currently-operating jurisdictions expand pick'em enforcement.

User Experience

Boom's app is functional but noticeably less polished than the category leaders. Navigation is straightforward and the Favorites/Toss-Ups/Longshots split is clearly labeled. Customer support is email-only with 24–48 hour response times, which trails operators offering live chat. The app is iOS and Android native.

The Bottom Line

Boom Fantasy is worth a spot in your pick'em stack if you specifically want the low-variance Favorites format or you want to farm a smaller operator's welcome bonus. It is not going to replace PrizePicks or Underdog as a primary home — the prop depth is not there — but the Favorites mode and the Boom Wheel multiplier give it a genuine reason to exist in the category.

Boom Fantasy is one of the player-facing brands BonusBell tracks across dfs.

Overview

It has been operating since 2017 and is tied to Boom Entertainment Inc, with public-facing operations associated with USA (formerly). Boom Fantasy is currently categorized by BonusBell under dfs. The current catalog says players can expect NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, College, Soccer, Esports. Distinct hooks currently tracked by BonusBell include B2B white-label DFS provider; powers other brands' pick'em products.

Bonuses and rewards

Boom Fantasy currently advertises No Sweat First Entry up to $100. That line is useful as a quick hook, but users usually need more context around playthrough, expiry, qualifying wager size, and whether the offer is actually the best reason to sign up. BonusBell also tracks 1 visible VIP tier for this brand, which matters for return visits and loyalty value rather than just the first session.

Banking and claim flow

On the money-movement side, the catalog currently reflects a minimum deposit around $10, a minimum withdrawal of roughly $10, and payout timing that is usually described as 2-5 business days. Even when the catalog does not expose every term, users still need this section because actual value depends on how easy it is to fund, verify, and cash out, not just on promotional copy.

Availability and regulatory reality

Boom Fantasy operates as a regulated real-money product. When a platform is in this category, the practical questions are licensing footprint, banking reliability, and whether the offer terms still justify the account. The current license note in the catalog reads: Previous: Skill-based gaming license (revoked/lapsed).

User experience

Boom Fantasy presents a more complete operating profile than a thin affiliate stub because BonusBell can already identify deposit methods such as other, paypal, withdrawal options like paypal, bank. Current catalog signals put it at 1.5 rating with a 15/100 trust score. Those are only as strong as the source data behind them, so the rest of this page should be read as the evidence layer behind the headline number.

The bottom line

For most users, the real test is whether Boom Fantasy offers enough product depth, regional access, and reliable banking to justify joining a wallet already crowded with major operators. Boom Fantasy should be judged on the full operating picture: product quality, regional access, banking clarity, bonus terms, and whether the evidence on the page is strong enough to trust. Until every field is source-backed, this review should be treated as a structured starting point rather than a final verdict.
