• As an example only: John invites his brother Marcus to play DraftKings through the Refer a Friend program. Marcus is excited to join and take advantage of the promotion, however he forgot his Venmo password and instead uses his brother John's Venmo account. While referring a relative, friend or colleague is acceptable; depositing into any DraftKings account other than your own is a breach of our terms of service and will result in account restrictions up to and including account termination for the offender.
