Key Takeaways

What is the DraftKings Predictions promo code?

According to the New York Post, new users who join DraftKings Predictions through the platform's promo code are eligible for a welcome incentive: trade $5 and receive $150 in prediction dollars to use on NFL preseason games and other markets.

DraftKings, a major American gaming brand, is expanding into the prediction-market space. Users can create an account with the promo code and trade contracts tied to financial markets, events, and sports—not just traditional sportsbook wagers.

How does the trade $5, get $150 offer work?

The offer requires a minimum $5 first-time trade for new DraftKings customers. The maximum $150 is issued as non-withdrawable Predictions Dollars that expire in one year.

Rather than a single lump sum, the reward is distributed as $50 in Predictions Dollars every seven days via click-to-claim for 14 days. Each click-to-claim expires seven days after issuance. Full terms are posted at dkng.co/predictionspromo.

Event contract trading is offered by DraftKings Predictions, a CFTC-registered introducing broker and NFA member. Trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Eligibility restrictions apply, and market availability varies.

Where is DraftKings Predictions available?

The DraftKings Predictions promo is open to eligible new users in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

What should fans watch in Cowboys vs. Cardinals?

The Cowboys are not expected to play their starters in this preseason outing, and rookie running back Jeremiyah Love is out with an ankle injury. That limits Dallas's top-end firepower even for an exhibition game.

Arizona's quarterback rotation has been the brighter storyline. Jacoby Brissett went 5-of-5 for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' second preseason game. Gardner Minshew was 14-of-16 for 101 yards and two touchdowns in the same contest.

Rookie Carson Beck also impressed in the Hall of Fame Game before suffering a rib injury during practice. For prediction-market users weighing preseason contracts, Arizona's QB depth may matter more than Dallas's usual star power on Saturday night.

Are other sportsbooks offering similar bonuses?

WTOP reports that bet365 is also promoting a $150 sign-up bonus for Saturday MLB and NFL preseason games in eligible states, with a Bet $10, Get $150 offer or a $1,000 safety-net bet alternative. Goal.com previously highlighted bet365's GOALBET code for NFL preseason matchups as well.

If you are comparing welcome offers before kickoff, check each platform's state eligibility, minimum wager, and expiration windows. DraftKings Predictions uses event contracts, while bet365's offer operates through its traditional sportsbook product.
