If The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is Christmas, then the most wonderful time of the sports betting year is when the NFL Playoffs begin. Fourteen teams have advanced, and for the second time in league history, we’ll have a six-game NFL Wild Card Weekend.
It’s a perfect time for new bettors to access a DraftKings promo code offer via our link to take advantage of a generous welcome offer as well as some of the best NFL Playoffs promotions in the betting industry. Here’s a look at how players can take advantage of all they have to offer.
DraftKings Promo Code Offer Delivers 56-1 Odds
Players will have no shortage of betting options on DraftKings Sportsbook. The operator understands this is one of the best times on the sports calendar, so it has given bettors a number of different promotions to use.
New users have access to our favorite promotion at DraftKings. All bettors need to do after registering for an account is place a $5 moneyline bet on any NFL playoff team to win their game this weekend. If your team wins, DraftKings will reward you with $280 in free bets! That means bettors are getting incredible 56-1 odds on any team to earn a playoff victory.
Considering this year’s NFL opening weekend includes Tom Brady, Josh Allen and Dak Prescott all playing home playoff games, picking a winner shouldn’t be too difficult. What’s great is that no specific DraftKings promo code is necessary to take advantage of this offer. Simply sign up through the link in this article and make your first pregame bet of $5 on a team’s moneyline.
The $280 will be awarded in the form of seven $40 free bets, and the offer is valid all the way up until the start of the Super Bowl. That means bettors can choose from any of the 13 playoff games to earn the $280 in free bets, though why wait? Free bets are valid for seven days after they’re awarded, so bettors should be able to place more NFL Playoffs bets and continue earning money.
Other DraftKings Promo Offers for NFL Playoff action
Though only new players are eligible for the +5600 odds, all bettors are eligible for two other DraftKings offers during the NFL postseason.
The first is a risk-free, same-game parlay up to $10. It’s available to all bettors during Wild Card weekend, so bettors will have six different games to choose from to create their same-game parlay of two or more individual bets. If that bet loses, DraftKings will refund bettors the original amount wagered up to $10 in the form of a free bet. It’s as risk-free as it gets.
We expect that DraftKings will have a similar promotion running for the Divisional Round, Championship Weekend and perhaps even the Super Bowl.
The other is an oldie but a goodie. DraftKings is running their famous “Hammer the Over” promotion for Patriots-Bills. Here’s how it works: DraftKings set the total at 43.5, and it is knocking that total down by 0.5 points for every 5,000 bettors who bet the Over for this 8:15 p.m. Saturday matchup.
Once Saturday arrives, the “over” will be set based on how many people have bet it, and that’s the total that will need to be reached for all bettors to win — no matter when they placed the bet. As of this writing, the current “over” is 34.5. The max bet is $25, and we expect that the total will shrink into the 20s, making this as close to an automatic win as you’ll find all postseason.
