Subject: DraftKings/FanDuel deposit bonus


  Posted by: holt - [38338181] Wed, Oct 01, 2014, 17:38

I understand both have a 100% deposit bonus right now. I'm trying to find out if these bonuses are really legit or not. I've read a bit on the net where some people claim that Draft Kings bonus isn't legit because the funds are released to you very slowly and there is a time limit (4 months) to earn the bonus funds. Anyway, I just want to find out if anyone on this board has personal experience with these bonuses (or has a suggestion for a better site to use). Thanks!

I know you can't just close your account and collect your bonus.

From Fanduel: What is deposit bonus?

Deposit bonus is offered to users upon first deposit and special promotional offers. Bonuses are earned gradually after you enter and complete paid contests. Your balance is shown in your account menu as 'Pending Bonus' and in your My Account area. Limits and terms and conditions may apply.

How fast does deposit bonus become real cash?

Deposit bonus is released as real cash at a rate of 4% of the entry fee of the contest you enter. For example, if you enter a $25 contest, $1 of deposit bonus will be released into your main funds account. Users collect deposit bonus upon settlement of the contest entered. If a contest or entry is canceled, your entry fee will be refunded and no bonuses will be earned.

Why isn't my full bonus received upon deposit?

Gradually releasing bonuses as you play prevents fraud and discourages multi-accounting. Please note that your deposit bonus can only be used on FanDuel and cannot be withdrawn as cash.

What are the benefits of deposit bonuses?

Deposit bonus rewards loyal users who play consistently on FanDuel. First time deposit bonuses do not expire so the funds are available until they've been earned and spent.

*Please note that special offers and re-load bonuses may carry an expiration date to be used. If the indicated time lapses due of inactivity and your special bonus was retracted, please contact customer support.

If you have further questions about bonuses, please refer to our Terms of Use for a full explanation or contact us.

I do fan duel and what they do is release a dollar for every 100 points you play. i believe a 4 points are earned for every dollar spend. Something like that.

I don't play and don't care that others do or don't, but if this isn't legalized gambling it's damn close to it.

The REAL American pastime.
