How Does This DraftKings Kentucky Promo Compare?
DraftKings doesn’t have the biggest overall bonus — but it’s close. Here’s a look at the full offerings across the market:
As you can see, DraftKings exceeds what is offered up by rivals like FanDuel, BetMGM and Caesars, while trailing behind bet365.
DraftKings Kentucky Already Has March Madness Odds
Aside from the time constraints (bonus bets must be wagered within seven days of receipt) there are no restrictions on how you can use the bonus bets from this DraftKings Kentucky promo. The bonus bets can be wagered on any betting market available at DraftKings Kentucky when it launches.
In the states where DraftKings is already operational, the sportsbook has already posted 2024 March Madness futures, including odds to win the national championship and odds to reach the Final Four.
John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats are listed among the top-five favorites in both markets, sitting as a +1400 bet to win the title and +475 to reach the Final Four in Phoenix, AZ. (The still-rebuilding Louisville program is +20000 to win the title and +3500 to make the Final Four.)
If you place a $25 bonus bet on UK to win the title at +1400 odds, the return would be a cool $350 if the Wildcats come through (the original stake is not included in the return). If you place a $25 bonus bet on UK just to make the final four at +475, the return would be $118.75 if the bet cashes.
Of course, bettors would have to wait until March 2024 to see returns from those bets, and there will be thousands of other betting options at DraftKings Kentucky when launch date arrives. But don’t hesitate because time really is running out to claim your $200 in free bets as part of this DraftKings Kentucky promo.
