DraftKings Offers $200 Bonus Bets for NFL Divisional Round
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — New users of DraftKings can claim $200 in bonus bets by wagering just $5 ahead of the NFL Divisional Round this weekend. The promotion, which requires no promo code, is designed to enhance the sports-betting experience for newcomers as the Kansas City Chiefs face the Houston Texans on Saturday.
The offer is available to first-time users who deposit and bet a minimum of $5. Upon placing the qualifying wager, users receive eight $25 bonus bets, which are single-use, non-withdrawable, and expire seven days after being credited. The bonus bets can be used across various NFL playoff games, including the highly anticipated Chiefs-Texans matchup.
“This is a great opportunity for new users to jump into sports betting with a little extra cushion,” said a DraftKings spokesperson. “We want to make sure everyone has a chance to enjoy the excitement of the NFL playoffs.”
To participate, users must download the DraftKings app, sign up, make a $5 deposit, and place a $5 bet on any qualifying market. The bonus funds are added instantly, allowing users to explore additional betting options throughout the weekend.
The Houston Texans enter the game as +8.5 underdogs against the Kansas City Chiefs, who are favored to win at Arrowhead Stadium. The winner will advance to the AFC Championship, facing either the Baltimore Ravens or Buffalo Bills.
For those looking to maximize their bonus bets, experts suggest focusing on player props. DeAndre Hopkins, for example, has hit over 2.5 receptions in eight of his last nine games, making him a popular choice among bettors.
DraftKings also offers ongoing promotions for existing users, including the “King of the End Zone” promo, which awards a share of $2 million in bonus bets to those who correctly predict the player scoring the longest touchdown of the day.
