DraftKings Promo Code: Bonus Bets for NBA, MLB, NHL, and PGA Championship

DraftKings has introduced a promotional offer for new users on May 11, 2026, providing bonus bets for several professional sports leagues. The promotion is designed to attract new customers during a period of high activity across the NBA, NHL, and MLB, as well as the start of the 2026 PGA Championship.

According to reporting from CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated, new users can obtain $100 in bonus bets by placing a qualifying first wager of at least $5. The offer is available to individuals who have not previously signed up for a DraftKings account and are of legal gambling age in a state where the company operates.

Terms and Conditions of the Offer

To activate the promotion, users must make a minimum initial deposit of $5. The qualifying wager must be at least $5 and placed at odds of -500 or longer on any sports market. No specific promo code is required to unlock the bonus.

The $100 bonus is distributed as four separate $25 bonus bet slips. These are issued within 72 hours after the qualifying wager has settled. Sports Illustrated reports that these bonus bets are issued regardless of whether the initial qualifying wager wins or loses.

Notice specific limitations on the use of these bonus bets. Once received, the bonus bets expire after seven days. The original stake of the bonus bet is not included in any winnings derived from those bets; only the payouts are transferred to the user’s cash balance.
