The timing is always right for sports betting, but DraftKings New York launching at this time in the sports calendar is about as good as it gets. We've got the NBA, NFL and NHL in full swing, it's conference season in college basketball and the biggest game in college football is right around the corner.
New users in New York should rightfully be excited about all the different sports markets they'll have to bet on. What's even better is the DraftKings promo code sign-up bonus that the operator is dishing out to new bettors. We'll explain here what exactly you'll get with DraftKings New York and how to get the most out of their offers as your online sports betting experience begins with one of the best online betting sites.
What is the DraftKings New York Promo Code?
You won't need a DraftKings New York promo code to sign up and cash in – just follow out link and register!
It's easy to be overwhelmed by all the different promo codes and offers that online sportsbooks in New York are throwing at new players. That's why we love how simple DraftKings New York is making the options that bettors will have to choose from. The flagship promotion from DraftKings is the 20% first deposit match up to $1,000. Bettors can deposit up to $5,000 and receive 20% of that back in the form of bonus funds.
It's one of the better promotions in New York, and it's better than a risk-free bet because it's guaranteed money that doesn't require you to actually place a wager.
DraftKings is also offering two bets for New York bettors to jump on this weekend that will allow players to double their money up to $25 if a point is scored in the Knicks-Celtics game or a touchdown is scored in Jets at Bills. More on that in a moment.
How to Get DraftKings New York Promo Code
The best part about the DraftKings New York promo code is that there is no actual code. Just follow the link right above and register. All new bettors will qualify the bonus as soon as they make their first deposit, provided they don't have a DraftKings DFS account, as those folks are ineligible.
Once that first deposit is made, bettors will receive 20% of it back in the form of a free bet credit. It's important to note that this only applies to your first deposit on DraftKings New York, so take full advantage of it. Winnings from bonus funds have a 25x playthrough requirement, but you have 90 days to satisfy that.
Registering at DraftKings New York
Bettors won't need to wait too long to begin betting. DraftKings New York has made the sign-up process quick and easy. You'll need all of the standard information that all reputable sportsbooks will ask for such as name, email, telephone number and address. You'll also need to create a unique password to secure your account.
In addition, DraftKings will need to verify your age and location to make sure you're allowed to bet in New York. To do this, they'll ask for the last four digits of your Social Security number to verify you are 21 years old, and you'll need to download and activate a Geolocator app to prove you are physically in New York when betting. It will also ask for proof of identity, such as a driver's license.
It's important to note that bettors who previously have signed up for DraftKings' Daily Fantasy Sports should not try to create a new account. Attempting to create a new account with the same information could raise flags and wind up freezing both accounts.
Use DraftKings New York Promo Code for Bills vs Jets & NFL Week 18
The NFL regular season is coming to a close, and we've got an intrastate matchup in the AFC East that New York bettors should be paying attention to. The Buffalo Bills have already locked up a playoff spot and can secure a second straight division title with a victory over the hapless New York Jets. Buffalo is only 5-3 SU as a home favorite, but it should be feeling pretty confident as 16.5-point favorites on DraftKings New York.
Things haven't gone well for the Jets this season, and they haven't been much better for bettors – New York is 6-10 ATS this season, including just 2-4 ATS as a road underdog.
Even if bettors aren't betting on the game itself, they need to take advantage of DraftKings' promotion for this game. Just for you New York bettors on DraftKings, you can place a $25 bet with +100 odds on a touchdown being scored in the contest. Considering the total is set at 40.5, we feel confident in at least one team finding the end zone. Its effectively a free $25 to add to your account.
Betting CFP Title Game at DraftKings New York
One of the reasons we're so excited that DraftKings New York is launching at this time of year is that it's just in time for the College Football Championship. Though New York bettors will only be able to legally bet on one college football game before the offseason hits, we're glad it's the most important one of the season.
Monday night's matchup will pit No. 1 Alabama against No. 3 Georgia for the second time in three seasons. It's a rematch of last month's lopsided SEC Championship Game that the Crimson Tide won, 41-24. Despite taking a thumping in what was their first loss of the year, Georgia is a three-point favorite to earn their first title since 1980.
Nets and Knicks Title Odds at DraftKings New York
It's been a while since the state of New York had two NBA contenders. But both the Nets and Knicks can stake a claim as having a shot in what looks to be a wide-open Eastern Conference. DraftKings New York has some of the industry's most extensive futures bets, including constantly updating odds on MVP, Sixth Man of the Year and NBA champion.
Whether you want to make a single bet on either the Knicks or Nets to win, or you want to use your deposit match bet on the Nets to win the NBA Finals at +260, it's available at DraftKings.
NBA bettors will certainly want to take part in the promotion that DraftKings New York is holding for Saturday's Knicks-Celtics game, but only for new bettors in NY. Bettors can double their money up to $25 if a single point is scored between the two teams. We don't need to explain the likelihood of that happening. It's as close to free money as a bettor can get at DraftKings New York.
