With a large number of betting options including multiple live in-game offers, an extensive selection of futures and props to choose from, a number of constantly updating promotions and a full-fledged casino experience, DraftKings Sportsbook is a fan favorite for sports bettors around the country.
Let's take a look at some of DraftKings' most exciting features, including special offers and free bets, odds boosts, and the massive casino.
DraftKings Sportsbook
It's easy to see which events are available for bettors thanks to the "A-Z Sports" menu, featuring options from Australian rules football to tennis and everything in between. Certain sports, including baseball and football, feature a few leagues you can bet on. Others, like soccer, feature a huge quantity — for instance, you can bet on the Premier League or the Bundesliga just as easily as you can bet on the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild karla. Overall, there are 19 sports to select from, with several leagues and subsections featured. Here is the primary list of sports:
— Australian Rules Football
— Baseball
— Basketball
— Boxing
— Cricket
— Cycling
— Darts
— Football
— Golf
— Hockey
— Lacrosse
— MMA
— Motorsports
— Rugby League
— Rugby Union
— Snooker & Pool
— Soccer
— Table Tennis
— Tennis
The selections within each sport are vast as well. There are alternate spreads and totals available for every MLB game, for example, with player, team, game and series props abound. You can turn any combination of bets from different events into a parlay, and you also have the ability to cash out. In addition, DraftKings recently joined FanDuel in offering the "Same Game Parlay" feature, a favorite among many users which allows you to combine multiple legs from one game into a single bet.
DraftKings also offers both public and private pools in various formats: pick'em pools, survivor pools, brackets and more.
Unique Features
— NFL Wild Cards
Wild Cards, the first of which is given to DraftKings customers for free, feature either an instant win prize or an NFL player challenge. If the player hits his challenge — say, for instance, Patrick Mahomes needs to throw for at least 300 yards — the user will win the amount of money on the Wild Card.
— NFT Marketplace
DraftKings recently teamed up with Autograph to feature an NFT collection with new drops each week. You can join a scheduled NFT drop to be randomly placed in line at the time of the reveal. Athletes featured on NFTs so far are Tom Brady and Wayne Gretzky.
— Live Dealers
Multiple games featured in the casino, including blackjack and roulette, feature a live dealer or 24/7 livestream lobbies in which you can gamble alongside other users in real time.
Odds Boosts
Odds boosts across a variety of sports will be featured occasionally, including no-doubt bets where ridiculous stat lines — for instance, offering +100 odds (maximum wager of $50) that at least one three-pointer will be made during a given NBA game, or a boxer will land at least one punch during a fight — can give you big rewards. There are also more standard odd boosts that pop up periodically.
Customer Bonus
DraftKings offers frequent sign-up bonuses for new users, including an active offer with the following rewards:
— New users will get a 20% deposit bonus released to them up to $1,000. For every $25 played, you'll get $1 added to your account.
— Example: If you deposit $500, you will be rewarded with a $100 deposit bonus. Then, for every $25 you bet, you will earn $1 that gets added to your account.

Responsible Gaming and Education
The "Responsible Gaming and Patron Protection" page is accessible at the bottom of the webpage or, if you're using the mobile app, near the bottom of the menu. You can also set self-imposed limits on your gaming behavior, including deposit limits or time limits. A comprehensive "Help Center" is featured prominently, with tips for bettors of all levels, a football betting guide, a glossary of terms, FAQ and more.
Deposit/Withdrawal
DraftKings accepts various payment types but recommends going directly through an online banking account, including Chase, Bank of America and more. You can also enter a credit or debit card, go through PayPal, use a wire transfer directly from your bank account or pay in cash at a participating retail location (like CVS, Dollar General and others). The minimum deposit is $5.
