Fanatics Sportsbook launched in Tennessee on May 1, 2023, as the betting arm of Fanatics, the largest sports merchandise retailer in the US. After the company acquired PointsBet’s US operations in 2023, it inherited an established sportsbook stack and rebuilt it under the Fanatics brand.
Welcome Offer
The current promo is “Get up to 1,000 FanCash Matched Bets.” Opt in and place a $1+ cash wager at minimum odds of -200 each day for 10 consecutive days starting the day you create your account. Fanatics matches each qualifying wager 100% in FanCash, up to 100 FanCash per day, for a maximum of 1,000 FanCash across the 10 days. FanCash can be redeemed at fanatics.com for official NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and college team merchandise at a 1 to 1 dollar value. FanCash issued under this promotion expires 7 days from issuance.
Key Features
The standout feature is FanCash. Every wager (win or lose) earns 5% back in FanCash, which is industry-leading among the rakeback-style promos. A bettor with $5,000 monthly handle accumulates $250 in FanCash per month, redeemable for jerseys, hats, and game-worn collectibles.
The app is modern, fast, and well organized. The Bet Slip experience is the smoothest of any non-FanDuel app. Live betting works but is not as refined as bet365 or FanDuel.
Tennessee-Specific Promotions
Fanatics runs Volunteers, Vanderbilt, Memphis Tigers, Titans, Predators, and Grizzlies boosts week-to-week. NCAA player props are not offered on any college athlete, per SWC rules. FanCash earned in Tennessee can be redeemed for Volunteers, Titans, or Predators official merchandise at fanatics.com.
Banking and Payments
Debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, online bank transfers (ACH), and VIP Preferred are supported. Tennessee prohibits credit card deposits. PayPal withdrawals are usually under 24 hours; bank transfers take 24 to 72 hours. Minimum deposit is $5.
Customer Support
24/7 live chat is responsive. Email support replies in under 24 hours. The in-app help center is well organized. Tennessee REDLINE (1-800-889-9789) is referenced on every promotional page.

Verdict
Fanatics is best for bettors who already buy team merchandise or who want a rakeback-style program that converts wagers into tangible rewards. The 5% FanCash on every bet is genuinely valuable for high-volume bettors. The app is solid, the promos are competitive, and the welcome offer (up to 1,000 FanCash matched bets) is one of the more distinctive in Tennessee.
