Frequently asked questions

What is a contribution rate?

While players can wager on many Casino games available on DraftKings, not every game contributes the same percentage toward a Casino Deposit Bonus’s playthrough requirement. Here are the current contribution rates:

Chart displaying game categories and their contribution percentages to wagering requirements. There are three rows with different categories. The first row is titled 'Most Slots, Rocket, Keno, & Virtual Sports' with an accompanying icon of a playing cards hand and poker chips, indicating a 100% contribution percentage. The second row, titled 'Blackjack, Other Table Games, Live Dealer Games, Roulette, & Select Slots' includes a similar icon, and shows a 20% contribution percentage. The third row, 'Craps, Video Poker, Baccarat, & Other Variety Games,' with an accompanying icon of a playing cards hand and poker chips, indicating a 0% contribution percentage. Each contribution percentage is represented by a bag of money with a percentage symbol, suggesting the proportion of wager that contributes to the overall requirement.

  • *To find more information about Select Slots (and for a list of Select Slot games), you can go to the What is a Casino playthrough requirement page.
  • Important Notes: 
    • This table of game categories and respective contribution percentages is subject to change.
    • Any games with a 0% contribution rate will not contribute toward the playthrough requirement for a Casino Deposit Bonus. Any winnings earned from a 0% contribution rate game would be considered locked winnings until the playthrough requirement is met.

What is a play through requirement?

A playthrough requirement is the amount you must wager (“playthrough”) on eligible casino games to complete the bonus offer, and for the associated winnings to be converted to cash for withdrawal. 

The playthrough requirement is determined using the matched Casino Bonus Funds and the playthrough multiplier stated in the offer.

Note: The playthrough multiplier is specified in the Casino Deposit Bonus terms and conditions.

As an example only: The Casino Deposit Bonus matches 50% of your deposit up to $1,500, requiring you to bet 10 times the total amount. If you deposit $3,000, you get $1,500 as a bonus, which you must bet 10 times along with your original $3,000 deposit. However, the contribution towards the betting requirement varies by game.

Image showing a 50% casino deposit bonus match. To the left, there's an icon depicting a spread of cash, representing a monetary deposit. Next to this, the text reads 'Deposited: $3,000'. Below the cash icon, a second icon shows a money bag with a 50% symbol, encircled by an arrow, illustrating a bonus match offer. The accompanying text is 'Casino Deposit Bonus Matched: 50%' and '1,500 Casino Bonus Funds', explaining that a $3,000 deposit has been matched with a 50% bonus, amounting to an additional $1,500 in casino bonus funds.

 For cumulative play through totals, see the below examples: 

  • Cumulative playthrough total of $15,000 ($1,500 x 10 = $15,000).
    • For example, playing a qualifying slots game would have a 100% Contribution Rate.
  • Cumulative playthrough total of $75,000 ($1,500 x 10 / 20% = $75,000).
    • For example, playing a qualifying Live Dealer Blackjack game would have a 20% Contribution Rate.

Graphic detailing the Play Through Requirement for a Casino Deposit Bonus. It states 'Play Through Requirement: 1,500 Casino Bonus Funds x 10.' At the 100% Contribution Rate, the play through amount is $15,000 for games including Most Slots, Rocket, Keno, and Virtual Sports, indicated by an icon with a hand of cards and poker chips. For the 20% Contribution Rate, the requirement is $75,000 and applies to games such as Blackjack, Other Table Games, Live Dealer Games, Roulette, and Select Slots*, represented by an icon with a hand of cards and poker chips. A calendar icon at the bottom suggests a Play Through Period of 7 days (168 hours).

  • See the “What is a contribution rate?” above for more information.

If you fulfill the playthrough requirement within seven (7) calendar days (168 hours) of receiving the bonus, any remaining bonus funds become withdrawable cash. If you don't meet the requirement in this time, any wagered portion of your initial deposit, remaining bonus funds, and winnings from the bonus will expire and be forfeited.

What happens to my funds if I don’t meet the play through requirements or decide to forfeit the Casino Deposit Bonus?

If you don't meet the playthrough requirements before the period ends, you will lose:

  • Any wagered portion of your original deposit.
  • Any remaining Casino Bonus Funds.
  • Any winnings tied to the forfeited Casino Deposit Bonus promotion.

Players may decide to forfeit their Casino Deposit Bonus and remove themselves from the promotion at any time. 

Forfeiture of the Casino Deposit Bonus will also result in the loss of any wagered portion of the original deposit, any remaining Casino Bonus Funds, and any winnings tied to the forfeited Casino Deposit Bonus.

  • A forfeiture isn’t reversible and no exceptions will be made.
  • As an example only: You opt into a Casino Deposit Bonus with a 50% deposit match up to $1,500 and you deposit $3,000.

If you wagered $50 on Slots (which has a 100% contribution rate) and won $100:

1. $50 is deducted from your $3,000 deposit, leaving you with $2,950.

2. If you decide to forfeit the Casino Deposit Bonus, you'll lose the $1,500 in Casino Bonus Funds.

3. You'll still get back your $2,950 original deposit.

4. You'll also keep the $100 in winnings from your original deposit.

What if I play a game that does not contribute 100% toward the play through requirement?

If playing a game that doesn’t contribute 100% toward the playthrough requirement, the specified percentage, 20% for example, will count towards the playthrough requirement.

  • As an example only: If a player wagers $100 on Live Dealer Blackjack, only 20% ($20) of the wager would contribute towards the playthrough requirement.

Informational graphic explaining the contribution of a blackjack bet towards a wagering requirement. It displays an icon with a hand of playing cards to represent the game of blackjack. Adjacent to the icon is the text 'Funds Wagered: $100 bet on Blackjack.' Below this, a money bag icon with a '%' symbol illustrates the contribution rate. The text explains '20% Contribution Rate: 20% of $100 = $20,' indicating that a $100 bet on blackjack contributes $20 towards the wagering requirement.

Important Note: Any games with a 0% contribution rate will not contribute toward the playthrough requirement for a Casino Deposit Bonus. Any winnings earned from a 0% contribution rate game would be considered locked winnings until the playthrough requirement is met.

How does a Casino Deposit Bonus play through the funds on my account?

Casino Deposit Bonuses will always playthrough the funds in the following order:

  1. Original deposit.
  2. Winnings won from wagers with the original deposit.
  3. Casino Bonus Funds.

Any winnings are locked to the Casino Deposit Bonus until the total playthrough requirement is met.

  • As an example only: The Casino Deposit Bonus is a 50% deposit match up to $1,500 with a 10x playthrough multiplier. You deposit $3,000 and receive a 50% Casino Bonus match of $1,500 in Casino Bonus Funds.

The funds would be played through in the following order:

  1. Original deposit of $3,000.
  2. Any winnings tied to the original deposit.
  3.  $1,500 in Casino Bonus Funds.

Any winnings won from the Casino Bonus Funds are locked (meaning can’t be withdrawn) until the total playthrough requirement ($1,500) is met (if playing 100% contribution rate games). Playing games that contribute less than 100% will result in higher playthrough requirements.

An infographic detailing the order of play through the funds for a Casino Deposit Bonus, presented in four steps. Step 1 shows a graphic of a fan of money bills, with the caption 'Original Deposit: $3,000.' Step 2 depicts a money bag with a star, accompanied by the text 'Winnings tied to deposit.' Step 3 illustrates a money bag with an incoming arrow, labeled 'Rollover Casino Deposit Bonus Matched: $1,500 Casino Bonus Funds.' Finally, Step 4 presents a money bag with an outgoing arrow and a lock, with the text 'Any winnings tied to the Casino Bonus Funds are locked.

Once the playthrough requirement is reached, any winnings are unlocked and can be withdrawn.

If you played through the original deposit, winnings from the original deposit, and Casino Bonus Funds to $0, the Casino Deposit Bonus offer ends.

You can continue to wager your locked winnings until you meet the playthrough requirement, at which point the winnings will unlock and can be withdrawn. However, if the promotion period ends and the playthrough requirement has not been met, the offer expires and any Casino Bonus Funds, locked Casino Bonus Fund winnings, lost wagered portion of the original deposit, and lost wagered portion of the original deposit winnings will be forfeited.

What happens if I have wagered my funds?

During this promotion, any wagered funds will be deducted from your initial deposit. Any winnings from these wagers will be considered as winnings from your initial deposit.

  • As an example only: You deposited $3,000 and received a 50% Casino Bonus match of $1,500 in Casino Bonus Funds.

Below the cash icon, a second icon shows a money bag with a 50% symbol, encircled by an arrow, illustrating a bonus match offer. The accompanying text is 'Casino Deposit Bonus Matched: 50%' and '1,500 Casino Bonus Funds', explaining that a $3,000 deposit has been matched with a 50% bonus, amounting to an additional $1,500 in casino bonus funds.

You wagered $50 on Slots and won $100. The $50 would be deducted from your $3,000 original deposit first, taking it to $2,950. The $100 in winnings are considered winnings from the original deposit.

This image displays a sequence of a casino gaming transaction. At the top, there's an icon of hand of playing cards and poker chips representing a $50 bet on slots accompanied by the text 'Funds Wagered: $50 bet on Slots.' Below this, a money bag icon followed by the text 'Winnings tied to deposit: $100' indicates the winnings associated with the wager. At the bottom of the image, a spread of cash signifies an 'Original Deposit: $2,950.'

However, if you played through your original deposit AND the winnings won from your original deposit, any winnings won from Casino Bonus Funds would be locked until the playthrough is met.

  • As an example only: If you wagered both your original deposit AND the winnings won from your original deposit down to $0, you’ll then begin playing through the Casino Bonus Funds.

Then, if you wager $50 in Casino Bonus Funds on Slots, this will bring your Casino Bonus Funds balance down to $1,450. In this wager, you won $100. The $100 won would be locked Casino Bonus Fund winnings until the playthrough is met.

This image presents a breakdown of casino bonus fund transactions. At the top, a spread of cash indicates an 'Original Deposit: $0', followed by a money bag icon with 'Winnings tied to deposit: $0', signifying no initial deposit or winnings. In the middle, an icon suggestive of slot machine gameplay accompanies the text 'Wagered: $50 in Casino Bonus Funds on Slots.' Below that, a money bag with a green arrow denotes 'Casino Bonus Funds: $1,450', reflecting the remaining bonus funds after wagering. At the bottom, a locked money bag icon next to 'Locked Casino Bonus Funds winnings: $100' represents the winnings that are currently not withdrawable.

Can I opt into more than one Casino Deposit Bonus?

Yes, players can opt into more than one Casino Deposit Bonus. However, each Casino Deposit Bonus will require separate deposits.

Players also need to complete the playthrough of the first Casino Deposit Bonus before the playthrough would contribute to the next Casino Deposit Bonus offer.

Players can track their progress by going to the My Rewards page.
