8. Prizes and Odds of Winning: Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period.
Prize Period: One (1)
No. of Winners: One hundred (100)
Prize: Thirty U.S. dollars ($30) Bonus Bet
Approximate Retail Value of each Prize: Thirty U.S. dollars ($30)
Total Approximate Retail Value of All Prizes: Three thousand U.S. dollars ($3000).
Each Prize will be delivered to each winner via one (1) bonus bet “token” deposited into the winner’s Online DraftKings Sportsbook account. For clarity, the bonus bet is only valid for a single bet of thirty dollars ($30). Each bonus bet is valid for seven (7) calendar days, and such seven (7) calendar day period is measured as one hundred sixty-eight (168) hours from the time the bonus bet is deposited by Sponsor into the winner’s Online DraftKings Sportsbook account. Failure by a winner to use their bonus bet before expiration will void the prize. Awarded bonus bets are non-cashable, not redeemable for cash, non-transferable, non-refundable, and cannot be withdrawn. Bonus bets may only be wagered one (1) time. The bonus bet amount is not included in any returns or winnings. Winnings generated from the wagering of a bonus bet will be transferred to the winner’s cash balance of their Online DraftKings Sportsbook account, at which time such winnings may be withdrawn. By way of example, and for illustrative purposes only, in the event a ten dollar ($10) bonus bet is placed on even odds and wins, only the profit of ten dollars ($10) will be credited to the winner’s Online DraftKings Sportsbook account. Bonus bets cannot be used with odds boosts, live bets, parlays, cash out bets, or other promotional bets at the discretion of Sponsor. The minimum odds for any bonus bet using the Prize are -300 (i.e., 1 to 3 odds, which, for clarity and as an example, under -300 odds, to win $10, a bettor would have to wager $30). For further clarity, -299 odds is permitted while -301 odds is not permitted. The maximum odds for any bonus bet using the Prize are +300 (i.e., 3 to 1 odds). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Official Rules, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute the Prize with an equivalent prize of equal or greater value. All applicable federal, state, and local taxes, and all fees and expenses related to acceptance and use of the Prize not specifically stated herein are the sole responsibility of the winners. Sponsor is not liable for computer, internet, or program malfunctions, nor for errors in Prizes. Sponsor will not replace the Prize in the event it is lost or stolen. Sponsor is not responsible for any delay or cancellation of Prize delivery due to unforeseen circumstances or circumstances outside of its control. The winner may only use the bonus bet when physically located in New Jersey, Washington, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, New Hampshire, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Arizona, Wyoming, Kansas, or any parish in Louisiana where a majority of the qualified electors in the parish voted against the proposition to authorize sports wagering activities. The bonus bet is subject to the DraftKings Online Sportsbook Terms of Use for the applicable Participating State you are using the bonus bet in as well as the DraftKings Sportsbook Betting Agreement available at https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/help/general-betting-rules/general-rules. Additional restrictions, conditions, and limitations may apply.
