DraftKings launches $200 bonus promotion for new users betting on NHL and MLB

DraftKings is offering a welcome promotion that gives new customers a guaranteed $200 in bonus bets after placing a qualifying $5 wager. The bonus is issued as eight separate $25 bets that must be used within seven days. No promo code is required; users simply register, deposit at least $5 and place the qualifying bet. The offer applies to bets on the NHL Stanley Cup Final, MLB games and the NBA Finals, as well as other sports markets. The promotion is limited to participants who are 21 years or older and reside in states where DraftKings Sportsbook operates. Terms were last verified in June 2026.

The promotion is promoted as a way to give bettors “house money” to use across multiple events, with the bonus awarded regardless of the outcome of the initial $5 wager. It is marketed as a risk‑free way to start betting on the ongoing postseason schedules in hockey, baseball and basketball.
