DraftKings Offers New Users $150 Prediction Credit for $5 Trade

DraftKings Predictions is launching a sign-up incentive that gives new users a $5 first trade in exchange for $150 of prediction dollars. These credits can be applied to contracts covering the upcoming college football season, as well as MLB games, NFL preseason action and additional events. The promo is open to eligible participants in the majority of U.S. states, excluding Maine and New Hampshire, while only 18 states provide access to all sports markets.

Credits are non-withdrawable, expire after one year, and are distributed as $50 batches every seven days for a two-week period. Users must meet a $5 minimum trade requirement, and the promotion concludes on 8/23/26 at 11:59 PM ET. DraftKings operates the platform as a CFTC-registered Introducing Broker and NFA member, noting the inherent risks of trading.
