Getting Started with DraftKing

New to DraftKing? We have made the registration process as simple as possible. However, to comply with federal and state regulations, we require specific information to ensure the security and integrity of our platform.

Creating an account is free and easy. Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Sign Up button at the top right of the page.
  2. Create a unique username and a secure password.
  3. Enter your valid email address.
  4. Provide your full legal name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security Number (SSN). This is required for identity verification.
  5. Confirm your location and agree to the Terms of Use.

Once verified, you can make your first deposit and claim your welcome bonus.

DraftKing adheres to strict Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations mandated by state gaming boards. We use the last four digits of your SSN to verify your identity and age, ensuring that no minors access the platform and to prevent fraud. Your data is encrypted and stored securely.

Account Management

Managing your DraftKing profile is straightforward. From changing your password to updating your contact details, you have full control.

I forgot my password. How do I reset it?

If you have lost access to your account, click the "Forgot Password" link on the login screen. You will be asked to enter the email address associated with your DraftKing account. We will send you a secure link to reset your credentials. If you do not receive the email within 5 minutes, check your spam folder or contact support.

Can I change my registered email address?

For security reasons, changing your registered email address requires an additional verification step. You must log in to your account, navigate to "Account Settings," and select "Update Email." You may be asked to upload a photo ID to confirm the change. This protects your DraftKing account from unauthorized takeovers.

Geolocation Troubleshooting

DraftKing uses advanced geolocation technology to ensure all real-money play occurs within legal state boundaries. If you are having trouble verifying your location, try the following steps:

Common fixes for geolocation errors include:

  • Turn on Wi-Fi: Even if you are using a desktop computer with an ethernet cable, your Wi-Fi adapter must be enabled to triangulate your position.
  • Disable VPNs: Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and proxy servers mask your location. You must disable these software to play on DraftKing.
  • Mobile Settings: On mobile devices, ensure Location Services are set to "While Using the App" or "Always" for the DraftKing app.
  • Clear Cache: Sometimes, browser data can conflict with the geolocation plugin. Clear your cache and restart your browser.

Casino Game Rules & Support

Understanding the rules is key to winning. DraftKing offers comprehensive guides for all our casino games.

Slots Support

If a slot game freezes mid-spin, do not panic. The game state is saved on our secure servers. Simply refresh the page or restart the app. When you reload the game, it will complete the spin and credit any winnings to your balance automatically. If the issue persists, take a screenshot and contact support with the Game ID.

Live Dealer Disconnects

In Live Dealer games, a stable internet connection is crucial. If you disconnect after placing a bet, your hand will stand or fold based on the specific game rules (e.g., in Blackjack, you may stand on your current total). Winnings will be credited if your hand wins.

Bonuses & Promotions

DraftKing offers industry-leading promotions, but they come with specific terms and conditions.

What is a "Play-Through" Requirement?

A play-through (or wagering) requirement is the number of times you must wager a bonus amount before it converts to withdrawable cash. For example, if you receive a $10 bonus with a 1x play-through, you must wager $10 total on eligible games. Once verified, the funds are yours to keep. Different games contribute differently to these requirements (e.g., Slots usually contribute 100%, while Blackjack may contribute 20%).
