    Available to Florida residents 21+ in all 67 counties — sign-up from Miami takes about 3 minutes.

    Our verdict

    Chalkboard is a sharp Sleeper alternative with arguably the best new-user promo pack in DFS pick'em right now. Sport selection is narrower, but if you mostly play NFL and NBA, it's a serious contender.

    The promo pack

    New users get a 100% deposit match up to $100, two boost cards (+25% and +50% payout multipliers), and a free pick. Stacked, this is one of the highest-EV welcome offers on the market.

    Boost cards

    Boost cards drop regularly into your account and can be applied to any qualifying entry for an instant payout multiplier. They make a real bottom-line difference if you're a frequent player.

    Sport coverage

    Primarily NFL and NBA, with select college and MLB markets. If you want broad sport coverage including esports, Sleeper is still the better pick.
