DraftKings Predictions offers $5 trade for $200 credit ahead of Texas-Texas State game

DraftKings Predictions is giving new users a $5 trade that converts into $200 of prediction dollars for use on the Texas vs. Texas State college football opener.

DraftKings Predictions has launched a promotional deal for new customers, allowing a $5 initial trade to be exchanged for $200 in prediction dollars usable on events such as the college football season, including the Week 1 clash between No. 5 Texas and Texas State. The offer applies to eligible residents in most states, except Maine and New Hampshire, while a smaller group of states receive access to all market categories.

Participants also earn $50 in prediction dollars each week for three weeks via click-to-claim, with all credits expiring after one year. The Longhorns, led by Arch Manning, enter the game as 29.5-point favorites, though Texas State’s offense could present challenges. DraftKings Predictions is a CFTC-registered Futures Commission Merchant and NFA member, and the promotion ends on 9/20/26 at 11:59 PM ET.

Why it matters

The deal expands access to sports-prediction markets and highlights the growing integration of betting platforms with college football.
