Which mobile sportsbook is everyone leaning towards? 🤔

As a long time Draftkings user (for fantasy sports), I think their promotions are good enough to keep me. I'm not really the type to spend time hunting down promos...but they push enough free or discounted lines - many Boston specific - my way to keep me going. I've used it while visiting family in legal states and the UI is good enough.
On the other hand, I am interested in seeing if WynnBet provides any advantage seeing as how I can easily use their in-person services being right down the street from Encore. I've had a decent experience actually going into Encore and cashing at the windows and wagering at the kiosks (I did try placing wagers at the window only once...may be down to the employee I was dealing with, but it was a nightmare).
It'll be one of those two but I'll honestly try and keep it in-person and off app. My wife likes it because I can walk there (getting exercise!) and the temptation to chase losses down from my couch doesn't exist when I'm only dipping into my envelope of "fun cash".
I also admit that I enjoy gambling as entertainment (I know it's all going to be lost money over time) and even if I don't play them - and I never have - just walking past the tables and machines gives me a dopamine hit that I can't get via app. I don't care that my $10-30 tickets clearly label me as small-time when I go to the cashier's window, I definitely prefer to keep it in person as much as possible.
...of course the advantage to mobile wagering is that, with DraftKings at least, my minimum wager is literally ten cents as opposed to the ten dollars on site.
