    DraftKings promo comparison

    The current DraftKings welcome offer is one of the industry's top new-user bonuses in available today. I like the bonus' structure, as having eight equal bonus bets allows you to spread the funds across multiple future wagers. Diversifying is a great way to increase your potential profits. This makes up for the fact that the bonus is not guaranteed and has middling value.

    How to place your first bet with DraftKings Sportsbook

    If you're brand new to sports betting, then you may be wondering how to place your qualifying wager to unlock the DraftKings bonus. Never fear, simply follow these steps:

    1

    Log in

    Sign into your newly created DraftKings Sportsbook and land on the homepage. 

    2

    Select a sport and bet type

    From the homepage, you will see the betting menu on the left side of the screen. Click or tap it to view all of the sports available. Select your preferred one, and you will be taken to a screen with a list of accessible bet types, including moneylines, spreads, Over/Unders, player props, and parlays.

    3

    Add to your bet slip

    Click or tap the bet type to bring up your bet slip. Here you can see all of the bets you're about to make and adjust as necessary. 

    4

    Confirm your wager

    Ensure your bet slip has the wager(s) you want. Then, enter the amount you wish to bet. Click or tap 'Place bet' and you're done!

    What I like about the DraftKings promo code

    Covers hit icon

    Low investment

    You can activate the DraftKings promo code without breaking the bank. Simply make an initial deposit of $5 and wager at least $5. It's a low barrier to entry that makes it accessible to all users.

    Covers hit icon

    Bet type and market flexibility

    Parlays, moneylines, spreads, props, and totals are all eligible bet types for the DraftKings promo code. No matter what sport you prefer, you can make your qualifying wager on any market.

    Covers hit icon

    Bonus structure

    I love how DraftKings issues the bonus in eight equal portions. This allows you to spread the bonus across eight future wagers, which increases your chances of making a profit and further growing your bankroll. 

    Covers hit icon

    Automatic application of promo code

    Don't worry about entering the DraftKings promo code during registration; it will be applied to your account by clicking through our unique links.


    What I don't like about the DraftKings promo code

    The DraftKings promo code does not come without limitations, such as:

    Covers miss icon

    Stake is removed from winnings

    Your original bet amount is not returned when the bet wins. You only receive the profits from the bonus, not the bonus itself.

    Covers miss icon

    Not guaranteed

    You only get the bonus if your first bet wit DraftKings wins. If it loses, you don't get the bonus, plus are ineligible from claiming any future DraftKings welcome bonuses. 

    Covers miss icon

    Short window to use

    The bonus bets are only valid for seven days. You may find yourself in a predicament where you are wagering on a market outside your comfort zone to satisfy this term.

    Covers miss icon

    Fixed bonus bet sizes

    Bonus bet sizes are set and are not customizable. I would love if you could break the bonus bets into smaller amounts.

    Best strategies for maximizing DraftKings promo codes

    Unlocking DraftKings Sportsbook promos is simple. But, maximizing their value may not feel as straightforward. This is why I've pinpointed how to get the most out of your DraftKings welcome bonuses below:

    Moneyline icon Get your feet wet

    Since the bonus comes in multiple portions, I suggest using this as an opportunity to explore different betting markets. Take your time, browse different sports, and research various bets in those sports. This is a quick way to figure out your sports betting niche. 

    Point spread icon Know your odds

    I suggest reading our sports betting guides so that you can have a basic understanding of popular bet types and how to analyze odds. A knowledgeable bettor is a successful one.  

    Prop bets icon Choose low-risk markets

    No matter your preferred sport, identifying low-risk betting markets is a good way to increase the likelihood of success. I recommend not putting too much on a single wager, as you don't want to have all of your eggs in one basket. Luckily, the DraftKings bonus structure allows you to have multiple swings at a successful follow-up. 

    Matcher icon Avoid influencer bets

    Sportsbooks often partner with influential figures, who then create personal bets for users to tail. For example, DraftKings has linked up with LeBron James, promoting his NFL wagers throughout the football season. Influencer bets have a low success rate, as these wagers are often -EV, meaning that they're getting poor odds on them and should be avoided.

    How to maximize the $1,000 DraftKings welcome bonus

    You can also claim the DraftKings' $1,000 deposit match bonus in addition to the welcome bonus. However, this promotion is far more complex, and we highly recommend proceeding with caution. Here are a few tips:

    Bankroll icon Understand the cost

    To unlock the full $1,000 reward, you'll need to add $5,000 in real money to your account balance.

    Futures icon Have patience

    DraftKings will release the $1,000 bonus in $1 increments each time you wager $25 on a market with -300 odds or longer. Thus means you must wager $25,000 total to unlock the full amount. Taking a slow and steady approach is key.

    Over under totals icon Re-invest wins

    Should you spend the time and cash to unlock the deposit match offer, you'll want to utilize it as smartly as possible. For each win you earn with the bonus, re-invest those funds into future bets to steadily increase your bankroll.

    Parlays icon Target promos

    DraftKings offers lots of daily promos that you can use on top of your bonus. Check out the 'Promotions' tab before placing any follow-up wager to browse the available boosts and bonuses. 

    Covers Expert Analysis
    "While the $1,000 deposit bonus presents a lucrative upside, be wary of the steep terms attached. I struggled to track all my bets I was required to make to meet the wagering requirements and unlock the full bonus."

    The pros and cons of DraftKings Sportsbook in December 2025

    Covers hit icon
    Top-tier betting app: The DraftKings app is fighting to wear the mobile app crown in 2025. It's fast and reliable, making it easy to access different features and betting markets.
    Covers hit icon
    User-friendly design: I love how  easy it is to navigate throughout DraftKings. All sections are clearly labelled, and its intuitive bet slip makes it easy to track your wagers. DraftKings also aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 to assist bettors with accessibility and usability issues, including voiceover and text-to-speech.
    Covers hit icon
    Best for grading winners: I've found DraftKings to be the best for accurately determining whether a bet has won or lost. DraftKings maintains reliable bet assessments every time, regardless of bet type. 

    Covers miss icon
    No search function on desktop: Unfortunately, DraftKings Sportsbook does not have a search function on its desktop version. You'll have to manually scroll through the platform to find the markets or features you're looking for. 
    Covers miss icon
    Maximum bet limits: Odds boosts are great, but DraftKings tends to have lower maximum bet limits than several of its competitors.

    DraftKings top features

    Feature Why Covers experts love it
    Player-centric betting platform

    DraftKings offers 'Player Pages' that display all available player prop markets for a single NBA, NFL, MLB, or NHL player. 

    Live betting

    DraftKings' 'Live In-Game' betting section is excellent. I love its live flash props, which provide an additional layer of intrigue to the game you're watching by offering exclusive, event-specific bets, such as 'Will the next drive result in an offensive score?' or 'Will the next play be a run or a pass?'.

    DraftKings NFL BetVision

    NFL BetVision lets you watch NFL games directly within the DraftKings Sportsbook app after wagering on the game.

    Same-game parlays

    DraftKings has quickly become one of the best parlay betting sites. It's easy to build and add your parlays to your bet slips after locating a game with the '+SGP' icon in the top-left corner and toggling on 'Same Game Parlay' to view available bets.

    I had no difficulty navigating through my parlays with DraftKings. The sportsbook also recently launched a new 'Progressive Parlays' feature, allowing you to receive a payout on a parlay wager even if one or more legs lose. 

    Early cashout

    Early cash out allows you to settle bets before matches in most sports markets reach their natural conclusions. In general, I find it is a great way to guarantee winnings or limit losses.

    DraftKings Sportsbook recently introduced 'DraftKings Early Exits', allowing you to receive cash credits if the outcome of your bet is impacted by a player injury where they don't return to the game. This insurance policy covers: NFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA, NHL, golf, and soccer. 


    List of sports you can bet on with DraftKings

    DraftKings Sportsbook offers competitive betting lines for all of your favorite sports in North American sports, including:

    Covers hit icon NFL

    Covers hit icon MLB 

    Covers hit icon NBA

    Covers hit icon NHL

    Covers hit icon UFC

    But this is just the tip of the iceberg with DraftKings. From golf and NCAAF to snooker and darts, there's something for everyone at DraftKings Sportsbook. 

    Covers Expert Analysis
    "DraftKings is one of my go-to betting sites for all things football, as it is among the best football betting sites, college football betting sites, parlay betting sites, and prop betting sites in 2025." 

    Michael Duchesne, Managing Editor


    DraftKings Sportsbook bet types

    You can find the most popular betting markets at DraftKings Sportsbook in 2025, including: 

    Moneyline icon Moneyline

    The most common type of wager where you choose the winner of the event. The favorite is indicated with a minus (-) sign, while the underdog has a plus (+). For example, if you take a favorite at -110 odds, you would be risking $11 to win a $10 wager. 

    Point spread icon Point spread

    Point spread betting requires predicting by how many points the team you are backing will win or lose to win the wager. If an NFL team has a -6.5 spread, they need to win by at least seven for the wager to hit. 

    Over under totals icon Over/Under (totals)

    Over/Unders allows you to bet on whether the game's total score will be more or less than the pre-determined line. You can also bet this for individual teams, or halves, quarters, and periods.

    Parlays icon Parlays

    Parlay wagers combine multiple wagers for different events or the same game onto one bet slip for a higher payout. All selections — or 'legs' — must win for the wager to cash. 

    Prop bets icon Props bet

    Prop bets focus on specific events or outcomes within a game, including individual players' achievements or unique occurrences. 

    Futures icon Futures

    Futures bets are based on long-term outcomes, with results determined at the end of a season, such as NFL MVP or how many goals an NHL player will have.


    DraftKings odds and restrictions

    After analzying, I've determined that DraftKings offers 'league average' odds. While not the industry's sharpest odds, DraftKings' competitive lines provided by SBTech round out a truly exceptional and complete sportsbook package.

    DraftKings does limit bettors, capping the maximum payout for any wager at $1,650,000. View DraftKings' 'Sport Specific Limits' in the 'General Betting Rules' section for more information.

    DraftKings operates under the supervision and regulation of several state authorities. The sportsbook operator is licensed in two dozen U.S. states and is only available within the borders of these jurisdictions.

    The DraftKings Sportsbook website uses state-of-the-art 256-bit encryption and geolocation software for the best online security and to ensure compliance.

    DraftKings responsible gaming

    DraftKings has a strong stance on responsible gaming, offering several internal tools to ensure bettors gamble within their means. This includes weekly deposit and betting limits and a self-exclusion option.

    I'm impressed with DraftKings commitment to providing a comfortable betting space for users. Recently, the operator launched DK Safer Play, which enables bettors to track and interact with their account usage to help them better understand their betting habits. Furthermore, DraftKings released 'My Budget Builder', which allows bettors set customized limits and reminders to manage their spending across online betting verticals. Lori Kalani, the Chief Responsible Gaming Officer at DraftKings, states that the new tool 'Reflects our ongoing commitment to creating fun, enjoyable environment for our players."

    DraftKings app review

     The DraftKings Sportsbook mobile app as one of my top U.S. sports betting apps in 2025, thanks to its user-friendly design that allows me to access all of its great features with a few swipes easily. 

    DraftKings

    DraftKings iOS app

    🍎 DraftKings iOS app

    Click here to download DraftKings app for free on the App Store, where it holds a 4.8/5 rating based on over 912,000 user reviews. 

    🤖 DraftKings Android app

    Click here to download the app for free on the Google Play Store, where it has a 4.7/5 rating based on over 202,000 reviews. 

    📱 DraftKings app design 

    I love how easily you can maneuver throughout the DraftKings app. All sections — such as 'Live In-Game' and 'Promos' — are clearly labelled. Placing bets on the app is also a breeze, as its stylish betslip automatically pops up when you select a betting market, and can be minimized while you browse additional wagers. 

    📈 DraftKings app improvements 

    The mobile app is constantly improving itself, undergoing regular updates to enhance its mobile betting capabilities. The DraftKings Sportsbook iOS and Android app recently underwent an update in December 2025 (version 5.34.2), adding new product features, fixing existing bugs, and providing overall improvements to the mobile platform.

    📺 DraftKings live betting

    In my opinion, DraftKings' live betting experiences is second-to-none in 2025. You can wager on 'In-Game' markets for most sports and earn lucrative payouts for your attentiveness towards a game's momentum.

    “DraftKings offers easier navigation through its site compared to other gambling sites. And I trust DraftKings more than any other comparable site. DraftKings is number one!”

    - Jovan, Google Play Store reviewer

    "I've been watching football for a few years now, and I've recently gotten my wife into it as well. We saw an ad for DraftKings during Sunday Night Football and decided to give it a try. Since then, we've been using DraftKings to make small bets during every football game, and it's been a great way to learn more about football and look forward to it as a couple's event."

    Covers Expert Analysis
    "Live betting represented more than 50% of DraftKings handle in Q1 2025, the first time in company history in-play wagering made up the majority of handle, $DKNG CEO Jason Robins said during a recent earnings call."

    My DraftKings Sportsbook review conclusion

    There's a reason DraftKings is often regarded as one of the sports betting industry's premium platforms. The sportsbook doesn't rely on brand recognition and its success in the DFS space — it simply delivers a great online betting product.

    I love the ability to sort by player props and the game-by-game breakdown. For example, under NBA, I can choose 'points,' and it will show every single game, along with every player point prop for that game, on one screen.

    Here are some additional highlights:


    One of the best sports betting apps

    Point blank: DraftKings offers one of the best sports betting app currently available in the U.S. The navigation is intuitive, the layout is user-friendly, and there is no shortage of features to keep me entertained.


    Fast grading and payouts

    Nothing is worse than having to wait out a betting technicality to see if you're getting paid. DraftKings is the absolute fastest when it comes to grading winners. I was able to have my winnings in my account before another operator had even made the final call on a particular bet. 


    Reliable and trustworthy

    The DraftKings website is secure, and the operator is known for being reliable, without any history of hacks that have compromised sensitive information. I was encouraged that I had to verify my location and identity before placing any bets on the platform.


    One account

    In states that allow it, I can enjoy daily fantasy sports, bet on real sporting events, and even play online casino games for real money — all using the same account balance. The ability to share liquidity without registering for multiple accounts is a convenience that I don't take for granted.


    Room for improvement

    I find the cash out offers to be unpredictable at DraftKings. I've been offered less than the original stake on futures bets, even after the odds have moved in my favor. Also, if you realize you made an incorrect bet, you will immediately be offered a cash out less than the original stake, whereas operators like bet365 will provide a full cashback. 

    Additionally, there is also no apparent search function on the desktop version of the platform, which we hope gets included in the near future.
