New bettors can claim a DraftKings promo code offer worth $200 in bonus bets by wagering just $5 on Thursday's loaded sports slate. With NBA games featuring Warriors-Rockets and Nets-Heat, plus conference tournament action in college basketball and key NHL matchups, March 5 provides excellent betting opportunities. DraftKings offers compelling sportsbook promos for new customers looking to get started.

How the DraftKings promo code offer works for Thursday's games

This DraftKings promo code promotion requires no code entry to activate the bonus. New users simply need to register, deposit at least $5, and place their first qualifying wager of $5 or more on any available market. If that initial bet wins, DraftKings instantly credits the account with $200 in bonus bets, distributed as eight separate $25 bonus bet tokens.

The key terms and conditions include:

• Must select the promotional token before placing the minimum $5 qualifying bet.
• Only winning first bets trigger the $200 bonus bet reward.
• Bonus bets arrive instantly or within 72 hours if technical issues occur.
• Each $25 bonus bet expires seven days after issuance.
• Bonus bet stakes are not included in any potential winnings.

For example, if you bet $5 on the Warriors to cover the spread against Houston and Golden State wins, you receive your original $5 stake plus winnings, along with the eight $25 bonus bets. However, if the Warriors fail to cover, you only lose the initial $5 wager without receiving bonus bets. The same applies to any Thursday matchup, whether you choose the Nets-Heat over/under total or a college basketball conference tournament game.

This DraftKings promo is available to new customers in the following states: AZ, CO, CT, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, WY. Bonus not available in Ontario, Canada.
