I've played both, and it's much easier to withdraw from DraftKings than it was from PokerStars/Full Tilt/Party Poker.

In the dark days of online poker after they shut down a lot of the payment vendors, I'd get shady looking checks from some middle man that I had to wait weeks for at times(never played/won enough to need wire transfers or fancier methods). That was horrible.

I've had withdrawals from DraftKings that take a day or two and go straight to my credit card or PayPal account. FWIW I play in California.

Edit: To be fair, paper check withdrawals did get faster as time wore on. Not sure how it is now. I live in SoCal and always preferred the card rooms than online poker anyway, so it's not worth the trouble for me.
