DraftKings Sportsbook is one of the largest and most popular sports betting websites currently available in the United States.

How to create an account at DraftKings Sportsbook
Signing up on DraftKings Sportsbook is simple. Follow our links to their homepage and then click the login button. You’ll be prompted to sign in using your username and password, but instead you should follow the “sign up” link.
Now insert your username, email and password (between eight and 20 characters, including at least one number and one letter). Agree to the DraftKings terms and services and click next.
Next, enter your first and last name, followed by your home address, date of birth and Social Security number. Your home address must be in a state where a DraftKings Sportsbook is currently operational. Your date of birth and SSN are required to verify your identity.
You’ll be asked to confirm your account by selecting and answering a couple of security questions. Write the answers to these questions down, as you’ll need to use them if you ever forget your password.
Finally, DraftKings will have to verify your location. Once finished, your account is set up and ready to go. Simply deposit and start betting.
Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app
The DraftKings Sportsbook mobile app is available for both iOS and Android devices.
To download the DraftKings sports betting app in Michigan, use our links to navigate to their homepage. Scroll to the bottom of the page and under “company,” you’ll see a link for Sportsbook Mobile App. This opens a new page with buttons to download the app for both Apple iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) and Android users. For iOS users, click the Apple icon and download the app in the App Store. For Android users, click the Android icon and download the app directly to your mobile device.
Using the DraftKings app
DraftKings has an app for their Daily Fantasy Sports website and their sportsbook. Be sure you are currently using the appropriate app.
Once you open the app, it’ll ask you to verify your location by allowing DraftKings to access your phone’s geolocation. If you click “don’t allow,” you’ll be sent to a page telling you that you must allow access before continuing. Open your settings, tap DraftKings Sportsbook, tap location, and tap while using the app to allow access.
Once DraftKings confirms your location, you’ll be promoted to either sign up, log in with your DraftKings account or skip to view the sportsbook without logging in. Log in to continue. If you still need to sign up for an account, read the ‘How to create an account at DraftKings Sportsbook’ section above.
The DraftKings mobile sportsbook app is very similar to their website. In the top right-hand corner of the screen, you’ll see a green button to log in, or access your account information by clicking on the person icon in the top left-hand side of the screen. This is where you can deposit, withdraw, refer a friend, view your bonus status, access your rewards, see if you have bonus credits, change your settings, see your statements and transactions, access your tax information and find information about DraftKings’ help center. Tap the back arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen to return to the main page. The bell icon is for notifications, and DraftKings will alert you when you win or lose a bet.
The sportsbook option will already be selected in the app’s header, but if you’re looking for casino, pools, or daily fantasy information, you can find it to the right of sportsbook. Below the app’s header, you’ll notice a few blocks you can scroll through with your finger. These blocks will feature DraftKings promotional offers, including bonus bets, deposit bonuses, casino promotions, sign up offers, flash bets, in-game bets, product updates and more.
Under the promotional blocks, there are a few quick links which list a number of available sports to choose from. Both lists are scrollable. If you’re looking for a specific sport, this is the fastest way to find it.
If you’re only looking for sports with currently-available bets, scroll past the quick links. Select the sport you want to bet on, and various Draftkings online betting options will appear. For example, if you select football, you’ll see all of the available matchups with point spread, total points and moneyline options. If you click on either team, additional betting options will appear. This is where you can bet on game lines, game props, player props, first-half bets, second-half bets, team props, and more.
At the very bottom of the Draftkings sports betting app , you’ll see home, in-game, my bets, A-Z sports, and rewards options. Home will already be selected. If you click on in-game, you’ll see all of the available games to bet on that are happening right now. Clicking on my bets will reveal your current bets and your bet history. This is a great way to track wins and losses. A-Z sports shows exactly that: every sport that DraftKings has available is listed in alphabetical order. Finally, rewards will show all of your available rewards, from bonus bets to boosts. You’ll also find your available missions and current promotions.
Draftkings online sportsbook features
DraftKings Sportsbook comes jam-packed with user-friendly features to make your betting experience as enjoyable as possible.
Directly below the header, there are a list of three opportunities for you to take advantage of. Odds boosts are a way to quickly wager on a bet that would otherwise be less favorable as far as the line is considered. For example, if Dustin Johnson is currently +250 to win the PGA Travelers Championship, DraftKings might offer boosted odds at +400. All boosted odds can be found in the header as well.
The profit boost is very similar to an odds boost, but the amount of money you win back is boosted rather than the original line. For example, sticking with Johnson to win the PGATravelers Championship, his odds would remain +250, but when your bet cashes, your profit would be boosted by 50%. If you bet $100, you’d win $250, but after the profit boost, you’d win $325. There is usually a max amount of money you’re able to win with the odds boost or profits boost.
Finally, DraftKings offers pregame protection for your bets. The terms depend on the sport and specific situation, but again, take Johnson winning the PGA Travelers Championship for example. If you bet Johnson at +500 before the event started, DraftKings pregame protection could offer something like get your money back if he finishes inside the top five. This prevents you from losing money on a bad beat.
If you’re looking for quick action, DraftKings’ flash bet service is perfect. In the header, click flash bet, and you’ll be taken to a page with quick, in-game betting options. Simply choose your side, choose a wager amount, and watch the action unfold. For example, if the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans are fighting it out in the third quarter of a close NFL game, you can bet on who will score the next touchdown. The odds will look something like: Jacksonville Jaguars +110, Tennessee Titans +125, No Touchdown +350. This is a fun way to follow along with games or events currently taking place. DraftKings also offers standard in-game betting.
If you’re looking for some free action, DraftKings’ pools offer upside without the risk. These are basically free roll contests, where you select from a list of predictions and earn points based on whether or not your prediction comes true. These contests range from NHL Series Winners to The Hills: New Beginnings vs. Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
If you’re looking to cash out of a bet you no longer think will win, DraftKings offers an option for that as well. For example, if you bet Kyle Busch to win the NASCAR Pocono 350, and he is in third place with 10 laps remaining, DraftKings will offer you the opportunity to cash out for a specific amount of money. Depending on his likelihood of actually winning the race, that specific amount of money will change.
For those who dive deep into statistical analysis, DraftKings offers a stats hub, which highlights all of the upcoming or in-game contests and shows information on home/road splits, venue records, moneyline odds movement, over/under records, and so much more. This is a great tool for you to use when choosing who to bet on.
Navigating DraftKings Sportsbook MI
DraftKings Sportsbook homepage is one of the most aesthetically-appealing and easy-to-navigate in the industry. Follow our links and you’ll see in the upper right-hand corner a button to log in. If you don’t have an account yet, click log in and under the prompt to sign in, you’ll see an option to create an account. Follow the steps listed in the ‘How to create an account at DraftKings Sportsbook’ section of this review.
Once logged in, you’ll see your account information on DraftKings. This is where you can deposit and withdraw funds.
At the top of the screen, there’s a header that shows home, my bets, live in-game, rewards, help, flash bet, pools, and casino. Under the home tab, you’ll see a list of available sports that are currently offering action. All the way to the right of the screen, you’ll see A-Z sports, which shows all of the sports that DraftKings has available for betting.
Below the header, there is a promotion for DraftKings sign up bonus, as well as three blocks for odds boost, profit boost and pregame protection. For more information about these blocks, see the Features on the DraftKings Sportsbook Site section of this review.
Below the three promotional blocks, DraftKings lists all of the available in-game betting options. On Sunday during the NFL season, you’ll see NFL, soccer, table tennis, MLB and more. Choose the sport you’d like to bet on, and a list of all available bets for that sport will appear.
To the right of in-game betting is game lines. This section offers all available futures bets, as well as bets for upcoming contests that have not yet started. For example, on Friday before an upcoming UFC event, you’ll see MMA. Selecting MMA will open a list of betting options, where you’ll be able to select between one of two fighters for every fight on Saturday. You’ll also be able to bet on events further in the future, if those contests are popular enough. You can also access odds boosts from this section. If you select odds boost from the drop-down menu, DraftKings will show all of the available boosted odds bets.
To the right of game lines is Draftkings’ stats hub. Selecting this option shows all available featured games, upcoming games, recent results, featured line moves, featured parlays, and a special DraftKings prediction based on an algorithm that you can help adjust.
Returning to the header, the “my bets” section shows all available information on your previously-placed and upcoming bets. This can be sorted by all, unsettled, settled, won and lost. This is a great tool for keeping track of your total earnings or losses.
To the right of that is the live in-game tab. This shows all available in-game betting options, similarly to the homepage but without all the other information. You’ll find special opt-in opportunities at the top of the screen as well. For example, DraftKings could give you $20 in a bonus bet if you place a parlay of two or more legs from the same soccer game with in-game betting. You can also access the flash bet option from this page.
Next, the rewards section shows all of your available “missions” with DraftKings. Completing these missions will earn you points, which can be used toward bonus bets, boosts and more. You must opt-in to these missions to earn points. This is a fun way for DraftKings to help you decide which sports or events to bet on.
If you’re looking for help, choose the help option from the header, and you’ll be directed to a page of frequently asked questions. These questions are broken down into sections: bet types, bonus bets and promotions, account management and responsible gaming, geolocation and deposits and withdrawals. Selecting one of these sections opens a few frequently asked questions that might help fix your problem or concern. If not, select the contact us button below the “still can’t find what you’re looking for” prompt. The drop-down header also features sections on how to bet, pools, sports betting guides, a quick start guide, general betting rules, sports rules, glossary, bonus bets and promotions, technical issues and where is sports betting legal.
The how to bet section covers all of the basics for Draftkings online sports betting . You can choose from parlay bets, moneyline, the spread, over/under and live in-game bets. DraftKings will show you a brief explanation of each term and how the payout works. The pools section offers frequently asked questions about the pools feature, as well as information on how to play and game conditions.
The sports betting guides are intended to make you a better bettor. You can choose from football, basketball, hockey, golf, MMA and baseball. The quick start guide offers information on understanding odds, how to place a bet, glossary of betting terms, live betting, cash out, and responsible gaming. The general betting rules section offers information on bet offer rules, result settlement, sports specific limits, and sportsbook game conditions. The sports rules section offers in-depth rules for every sports DraftKings has available to wager on.
The glossary is a list of terms for both betting terminology and sporting terminology. The bonus bets and promotions section offers information on bonus bets, profit boosts, deposit bonuses, and money back specials, showing you how each of these works. The technical issues section offers advice on account security and more. The legal sports betting section shows a map of the United States, color coding which states have legalized sports betting, which have considered legalizing sports betting and which are against sports betting. You have the option of contacting your state lawmakers to tell them to legalize sports betting.
To the right of the help section are buttons for both flash bet and pools. Both have been explained in the Features section of this review.
Sports available at DraftKings Sportsbook online
DraftKings has one of the most extensive lists of available sports to bet on. You’ll of course find major events like the Super Bowl, World Series and March Madness, but there’s plenty of action to keep you occupied year round, including the following sports:
- NFL and college football
- NBA, college and international basketball
- MBL and international baseball
- NHL and other hockey leagues
- Soccer
- Golf
- Tennis
- MMA/Boxing
- Many other international sporting events
DraftKings sports betting options
DraftKings Sportsbook has all of the traditional betting options, including moneylines, the spread, totals (over/under), and parlay bets. But that’s not all. DraftKings also offers plenty of unique betting options.
With flash bet, you can quickly bet on any in-game contest directly from your computer or mobile device. Simply click flash bet, and DraftKings will prompt you with a bet to make. Select the side of the bet that you want to be on and insert a wager amount. As soon as that bet completes, you’ll be prompted with a new bet.
DraftKings also offers future bets, which makes it possible for you to bet on distant events or outcomes with very long odds. For example, you can bet on who will win the Super Bowl at the beginning of the NFL season. Your money will be locked up for quite some time, but if that bet hits, it’ll be a massive payout.
Like most sportsbooks, DraftKings offers prop bets for games, players, and teams. They also offer first- and second-half betting options. For example, you can bet on whether Lamar Jackson will throw for more than two touchdowns, or whether the Detroit Tigers will score more than four runs. You can make the same bets, but exclusively in the first or second half of the game or contest. This is a fun way for daily fantasy sports players to get familiar with sports betting.
Becoming a more popular trend in sports betting, DraftKings offers the option to cash out of your current bets before the bet is complete. You’ll be offered lower odds, but you remove the chance of a late-game comeback. For example, if you bet that Dustin Johnson will win the PGA Travelers Championship at +4500 odds, and he is in first place after the third day, you could cash that bet out for +3000 odds.
Most importantly, DraftKings offers odds boost. This is a quick way for you to get better odds than the industry standard. For example, if Pete Alonso has +275 odds to lead the NL in home runs this season, you could bet him at +310 instead with an odds boost. These boosts are offered sporadically across all sports. Be on the lookout for them.
