Boom Fantasy

If you’ve been looking for a DFS product that offers short-term contests that vary from payout size and level of odds, then the Boom Fantasy app is the product for you. From Boom Shakalaka Inc., this DFS product has been around since 2014 and is available to customers in AK, AR, CA, FL, GA, IL, KS, KY, MA, MI, MN, NE, NH, NM, NC, ND, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TX, UT, WI, and WY.

The app itself can be found on either IOS or Android devices and can be downloaded from either the App Store or Google Play Store. The product has strong reviews in both stores, and while it may not be the most well-known DFS app on the market, a large majority of customers who use the product speak very highly of it.

Customers who have either never used a DFS product before or avid fantasy sports users can enjoy the simplicity and efficiency the app offers. The well-laid-out and organized app allows customers to quickly get acclimated to the different contests that are offered. Each of the three short-term contests that are available offers eight different sports/leagues customers can choose from.

One of the areas this product is lacking a bit is with payment methods, and while this is a common problem in the DFS market, we would like to see a few more options made available. All in all, though, the product is easy to understand and offers something for all levels of DFS users.

Available Sports, Leagues, And Contests

While some DFS products offer a mix of both short-term and long-term contests, the Boom Fantasy app provides strictly short-term contests across eight different sports. Customers can choose from three different contests to compete in at the moment, with another contest, “Coin Flip Live,” currently still in beta testing mode.

Each short-term contest follows a similar structure to a large majority of DFS contests, so customers can make selections based on either over/under pick’ems or head-to-head matchups. The contests are separated by the number of picks that can be made in one selection and how large the payout is for each entry.

Customers can choose to participate in these contests with the following sports/leagues, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS, CFB, and CBB. Over time more sports and leagues may be offered by the product, but for now, customers can enjoy a wide range of selections for each of those leagues.

Pick’Em Toss-Ups

As previously stated, each contest varies based on a few aspects. With Toss-Ups, customers have full control over everything they do when it comes to a selection. Each selection can be anywhere between 2-5 picks, with the max payout being 20x if a customer is successful with all five picks of an entry.

This contest is the closest to most DFS contests when it comes to the picks since customers can choose over or under for a given stat, or they can choose between two players and who will have more of a given stat. For example, two pick entries could include Aaron Judge to have over 1.5 hits and for Gerrit Cole to have more strikeouts than Kevin Gausman.

Pick’Em Longshots

If a customer is feeling lucky and wants to try their hand at pulling in the highest payouts, then the Longshot contests are for them. In this contest, each entry can only be two or three picks, but the max payout is 40x, with a maximum wager of $100.

Not only are the payouts bigger, but the picks are tougher to make as the odds are preset, so customers cannot just choose over or under. For example, the app could have Travis Kelce’s yard total set at 79.5, and if customers want to add him to their entry, they can only take the over, which makes it harder to get all selections correct.

Pick’Em Favorites

Favorites follow the same premise as longshots, except the odds are much better, and the payouts are lower. Each entry can be anywhere between 2-5 picks but the maximum payout for this contest on a five-pick entry is just 3x.

The reason the payouts are so low is because the odds are much better and easier for customers to choose from. For example, if Kelce’s yard prop was set at 79.5 in longshots, then it could be at 21.5 in favorites, so customers can feel more comfortable taking the pre-set over to their entry.

Boom Fantasy Payment And Withdrawal Options

There are countless DFS products on the market nowadays, and if there is one area where all of them are lacking, it’s with payment methods. The Boom Fantasy app is no different, as there are just three different deposit methods and two withdrawal methods available to customers. When it comes to deposits, the three options are Discover, Mastercard, and Visa debit or credit cards and the minimum deposit for all three of them is $10.

Now when looking to make a withdrawal, customers can’t use any of those methods, as they can either choose a direct deposit through online banking or PayPal. For customers who are used to sports betting apps offering a plethora of options, this may seem surprising, but this lack of selection, while frustrating, is commonplace in the DFS world.

No matter what withdrawal method a customer chooses, they can only have one withdrawal request pending at a time. Much like deposits, the minimum a customer can withdraw is $10, and it can take around 5-7 business days for the process to be fully completed. If, for any reason, a customer wants to cancel a withdrawal, they will need to contact the customer support team through email.

Downloading the Boom Fantasy App

For customers who are looking to download the Boom Fantasy app, they can do so from either the App Store or Google Play Store. Currently, on the App Store, the product has a 4.6 out of 5-star rating, which comes from 3.9k reviews. On the Google Play Store, the app has a 4.5 out of 5-star rating.

The app itself has a very simple design that makes navigating the different contests extremely easy. With the app laid out how it is, it does not take long to fully grasp how the different contests work, even if a customer has never used a DFS product before. Navigating the product and making entries is also very easy since the responsiveness of the app is at a very high level, allowing customers to focus on their entries and not if the app is going to crash on them.

In our time with the product, we experienced no lagging or crashing under a solid internet connection. It did not matter if we were making one entry or multiple; the product held up the same. We were thoroughly impressed by the app from both a user-friendliness and a quality standpoint.

Web Platform

While Boom Fantasy does have a website, customers cannot do anything on it except learn about the contests and get links to download the app from either the App Store or Google Play Store.

Customers have the ability to scan a QR code that gives them direct access to the app’s new customer promotion, but outside of that, the only other thing that can be done on the product is read some reviews and the terms of service.
