Searches for DraftKings Alternatives Climb as Crypto-First ZunaBet Gains Notice

Crypto-first gambling platforms attract players with fast withdrawals, low fees, and clear loyalty payouts.

Overview

In April 2026 analyses, crypto-focused outlets reported rising searches for “DraftKings alternatives” and pointed users to crypto-native options.
ZunaBet launched in 2026 under Strathvale Group with an Anjouan license (ALSI-202510047-FI2), a setup that supports on-chain payments under different oversight than U.S. state licenses.
Payments define the split: DraftKings routes deposits and withdrawals through banks that add days and fees, while ZunaBet moves 20-plus cryptocurrencies at blockchain speed with no processing fees.
Player value is a draw on ZunaBet, which offers a $5,000 welcome package plus 75 free spins across three deposits and a six-tier rakeback program that tops out at 20%.
ZunaBet combines 11,294 games from 63 providers with a sportsbook that includes esports, though the platform is still building its track record as DraftKings retains a dominant, regulated U.S. presence.
