DraftKings is offering new users a $200 welcome bonus in bonus bets ahead of Friday’s Seahawks vs. Chiefs preseason finale on Friday, August 28.
The promotion is available only to new DraftKings users in eligible states, and jurisdiction restrictions apply. To qualify, a first-time bettor must place a $5 bet. The reward is not paid out as cash; instead, it comes as bonus bets.
How the offer works
The $200 bonus-bets offer is structured in $50 installments over 21 days, with each bonus bet carrying a seven-day expiration window. That makes the timing important for anyone planning to use the promotion around the preseason finale.
The offer ends on 9/20/26 at 11:59 PM ET, so new users who want to take advantage of the DraftKings sign-up bonus will need to complete the required steps before that deadline.
Responsible gambling information
The promotion includes responsible gambling notices and helpline information. Age and location restrictions apply, including 21+ and 18+ requirements depending on jurisdiction. Resources listed include 1-800-GAMBLER, 1-800-MY-RESET, 327-5050, 888-789-7777 and 1-800-981-0023.
For readers in eligible states, the appeal is simple: a relatively small first bet can unlock a larger bonus-bets package tied to one of the final preseason games of the week.
