DraftKings is currently offering new US customers several welcome bonuses, providing opportunities to receive bonus bets or bonus picks for various sporting events. These promotions are designed to attract new accounts, particularly during the football season, according to eciks.org.

Understanding the £160 ($200) Bonus Bet Offer

One of the primary promotions allows new US DraftKings Sportsbook users to bet £4 ($5) and receive £160 ($200) in bonus bets. To qualify, new customers must make an initial deposit of at least £8 ($10) and then place a £4 ($5) qualifying wager.

The bonus is typically credited in two stages. As reported by CBS Sports via eciks.org, new users often receive £40 ($50) in bonus bets instantly, with the remaining £120 ($150) issued as scheduled bonus bets over a period of 21 days. WTOP News specifies that this £160 ($200) reward can also be distributed as eight individual £20 ($25) bonus bets, arriving in two sets every seven days over a total period of 21 days.

These bonus bets are issued as tokens, and any winnings from them are credited to the user’s cash balance, though the initial stake of the bonus bet is not returned. Bonus bets are generally valid for seven days after they are received. Eligibility for this offer includes age restrictions, typically 21 or older in most US states, or 18 and over in Washington, D.C. and Kentucky. Identity checks may also be part of the registration process, according to eciks.org.

DraftKings Pick 6: Get £40 ($50) in Bonus Picks

A separate exclusive offer, the DraftKings Pick 6 promo, provides new users with £40 ($50) in bonus picks. To claim this bonus, new users are required to make a first deposit of £4 ($5), as detailed by RotoWire.

These bonus picks are specifically for use with DraftKings Pick 6 contests and cannot be withdrawn. DraftKings Pick 6 is described as a peer-to-peer fantasy sports platform where players predict whether individual athletes will exceed or fall short of specific statistical projections across up to six picks. These contests are designed for quick action on major sports like the NFL and MLB, with entry fees starting from as low as £0.80 ($1), and prizes are distributed based on how entries stack up against others.

Important Details for Users

Both DraftKings’ site and CBS Sports, as reported by eciks.org, advise users that bonus bets usually have expiration windows and do not hold cash value for the stake itself. Users are reminded that bonus bets are typically valid for seven days once received. DraftKings also encourages responsible gaming, providing links to its Responsible Gaming Center.
