DraftKings is rolling out a sports bet welcome offer for new customers ahead of the upcoming World Cup matches: bet $5 and get $200 in bonus bets. The promotion gives new users a simple entry point before the group-stage slate begins, with the bonus arriving even if the first wager does not win.
To qualify, a new customer has to open an account and place at least $5 on one of the tournament matchups. The wager must be made at odds of -500 or longer, and once it is locked in, the $200 bonus is credited instantly.
DraftKings and the $5 entry
The offer is only available to new DraftKings customers. That makes the opening bet the only hurdle, and the payout structure is fixed: $200 in bonus bets no matter what happens on the qualifying play. The reward is split into eight separate $25 bonus tokens, which gives a bettor more than one chance to use it across different matches or markets.
The bonus window is short. Those eight $25 tokens expire after 7 days, so anyone who wants to use the offer has to move quickly once the qualifying wager is placed. Before the World Cup matches kick off, users can sign up, deposit, and make the required bet to trigger the bonus.
France, Senegal, and Algeria
The promotion is tied to a World Cup group-stage slate that includes three matchups. France is squaring off against Senegal, Iraq is paired with Norway, and Argentina is facing Algeria. That gives new users a list of specific options right away instead of a broad tournament menu with no direction.
Because the bonus can be used on different matches or different betting markets, the offer is built for flexibility once the tokens hit the account. The practical next step is straightforward: create the new DraftKings account, place the $5 qualifying wager on odds of -500 or longer, and use the bonus within the 7-day window.
