Fanatics App: How Does It Work?
Fanatics is a sports apparel giant with a variety of apps and platforms. The Fanatics Casino app symbol is white with a black F logo inside. The Fanatics Sportsbook symbol is black with a white F flag and the word “Sportsbook” underneath. The Fanatics Live – Break Your Way app is centered on the sports card industry. The logo for that is black with an F flag brushed in blue and red.
In this review, I’m talking about the original Fanatics app, with a black logo and white F flag inside. This is the main Fanatics app, also known as the Fanatics Shop app, and it primarily serves as an apparel marketplace. You can select your favorite teams – and WWE wrestlers – when you create your account and get quick access to those respective team shops in one click.
Once you create an account by giving your email and log-in, you join FanaticsONE, the rewards program, and earn FanCash, which can be used to buy merchandise on the app. You earn FanCash by playing games or by making purchases through the app.
Fanatics App Features
Customers can get a lot out of the Fanatics app. They can check game scores, look for tickets for events in the area, and play multiple free pick games and sports trivia games. Players with an established account can track their picks and wins on the app. There’s even an option to earn FanCash when you post your results on social media and tag Fanatics.
Here’s a breakdown of the major features offered in the Fanatics app:
Fanatics Free-To-Play Games
Fanatics has a free game for fans of every sport. Winners collect FanCash to use on the site. Here’s how the games work:
College Football Pick’Em
Pick 10 of the biggest college football games against the spread each week and track your picks on the app. Make the correct picks and earn $100 in FanCash.
NFL Touchdown Pick’Em
Pick six NFL players to score a touchdown in that week’s games. Players are grouped into six tiers, and you pick a player from each. Get five out of six picks and collect $10 in FanCash. Go a perfect 6 for 6 and win $250 in FanCash. You can also share your picks on social media for a shot at more prizes.
Fanatics 5 Daily
Make five picks centered around the biggest game of the day, either Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, or a monster NBA showdown. Ace all five picks and reel in $5 in Fanatics FanCash.
Fanatics Quad Goals
It’s Connections meets sports trivia in this exclusive Fanatics free game. You’re given a slate of 16 sports figures or teams, and it’s your job to figure out the common thread between four of them (like, each team’s nickname is Tigers). Share your results on social media, tag Fanatics, and automatically be entered in a drawing for $50 in FanCash.
Fanatics NFL Survivor
It’s one of the biggest NFL survivor pools around. The job is simple. Every week, pick one NFL team that will win straight up, but you can only pick a team once the entire season. Sound easy? It’s not. Midway through the NFL season, there were only 3,000 survivors left out of over 100,000. The prize pool is over $1 million.
Fanatics Perfect 9
During the NFL season, make nine selections on individual performances, like rushing yards or passing touchdowns in a game by a player. Winners can win up to $100,000 in cash.
Fanatics App Shopping
Need a new lucky shirt or jersey for your favorite team, or searching for a holiday gift for that special fan in your life? Trying to find a good deal on clearance? The Fanatics app is your portal to team shops for all the major professional sports and college teams in America.
Nothing gives you more fan cred than wearing the latest (or maybe the vintage) uniform or colors of your favorite team. You earn FanCash with each purchase and can take advantage of special deals before Black Friday.
Fanatics FanCash Rewards
FanCash is Fanatics’ virtual currency that can be used across multiple Fanatics platforms. Every dollar of FanCash can be exchanged for a dollar to use on authentic sports apparel, bonus bets, collectables, and game tickets.
Fanatics Scores
Itching to see what’s going on in today’s games? Click the scores icon at the bottom of the app and get sent to that day’s live scores, with your favorite team’s games listed on top. For football, information includes time left in the game, down and distance, and who has the ball. Tap the game and get a live overview and play-by-play as it happens.
Fanatics Tickets
Ready to see your team in person at home or on the road? Click the tickets icon at the bottom right of the app and look through the tickets available for the event you’re looking for. Your FanCash balance is listed at the top and can be applied to your ticket purchase.
Fanatics ‘For You’ Tab
The For You tab is your Fanatics app personalized for your tastes and your teams. One tap sends you straight to your favorite team’s apparel and merch shop. This is where you’ll find the latest promo codes for discounts, access to challenges, links to the Fanatics sportsbook and casino, plus the chance to shop for the latest trading cards.

Fanatics App Review
I was skeptical at first that the Fanatics app was just another link to the team stores, but it’s way deeper than that. The ability to personalize the app with my own favorite teams is a great feature. The free games are fun if you like the idea of making picks on games, but don’t want to risk any real money. You have nothing to lose. The fact that the FanCash ratio is $1 for $1 is also a perk.
My favorite game was Quad Goals. I live in a house full of Connections addicts, so to have a game with a similar style, but sports-based, was a dream for me. I was excited to see all the different promotions to get FanCash just in time for the holidays. The opportunity to check scores and get discounted tickets also came as a pleasant surprise the first time I checked out the app.
I thought some of the pick’em games were hard. It would be more fun just to pick six players who are going to score a touchdown that day instead of having to pick from tiers. But I know I’m just taking a chance. Being a fan should be fun, whether your team is a contender or tanking for the draft. The Fanatics app makes being a fan more fun.

For sports fans not shy about putting money down on their favorite team or player’s performance, there’s the Fanatics Sportsbook app, one of the best sports betting sites around.
This app is different from the Fanatics Shop app. It is a live, real-money sportsbook that lists upcoming events with point spreads, moneylines, and over/under totals in a massive game menu. There are also prop bets on player performances and future bets like who’s going to win the Super Bowl.
New players are given a welcome bonus when they sign up, which includes up to $1,000 in no-sweat bets.
The good news is that all FanCash you have picked up from using the Fanatics app to buy merchandise can be used on the sports betting site. There are also regular promotions for avid fans on the sportsbook, including same-game parlay profit boosts and bet protection on your prop bets in case of an injury.
