How the DraftKings promo code works for Week 1 college football

No DraftKings promo code is required to activate this offer, since it applies automatically once you meet the deposit and wagering requirements. New customers can lock in the DraftKings Sportsbook promo code offer by depositing at least $5 and placing a qualifying wager of $5 or more on any Week 1 college football matchup, including Colorado at Georgia Tech. DraftKings issues $200 in bonus bets regardless of whether that first wager wins or loses.

If a wager on Colorado covering the spread against Georgia Tech wins, the bettor keeps those winnings plus the bonus bets arrive on schedule. If the bet loses, DraftKings still issues the full $200, split into eight $25 increments delivered every seven days for 21 days through a click-to-claim process. This structure makes the DraftKings new-user promo useful no matter how the opening game unfolds.

  • Minimum deposit of $5 required to activate the offer.
  • Qualifying wager of at least $5 on any sports betting market.
  • Bonus bets arrive as two $25 increments every seven days for 21 days.
  • Each bonus bet expires seven days after issuance.
  • The original stake is not included in any winnings from bonus bet wagers.

RYAN HAGEN

Ryan Hagen’s foray into sports betting started early. At just 14 years old, he sought out a lottery kiosk clerk with relaxed gambling mores and convinced the fella to sell him ‘Sport Select’ tickets, which were part of the original government sports betting program in his native Alberta. Now a betting analyst at Sports Illustrated, Ryan prefers to place his bets legally and has established himself as an authority in the sports betting industry. His roles have included lead writer, content editor, managing editor, and more. Ryan has written and edited hundreds of sportsbook reviews and countless news, analysis, and promotional pieces for some of the most prominent companies in the sports betting world. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes sports and sports betting, Ryan’s goal is to impart his unbiased betting knowledge to prospective bettors, allowing them to make informed decisions, whether that’s signing up for a sportsbook, mulling over a moneyline, or placing a prop bet. A prolific bettor himself, Ryan lives for the NFL season and believes that every Saturday night from September to February is akin to Christmas Eve. Ryan has a B.A. in Communications from Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia. His work is widely published in the sports betting industry and in publications such as the Calgary Herald and Vancouver Magazine. Off the clock, he can be found traveling, searching for noodles, working on his golf swing, and managing his degenerate number of fantasy football teams.
