DraftKings Sportsbook has gone live in North Carolina, and the sportsbook is offering a welcome offer to NC bettors. If you want to get in on the betting action and join DraftKings in NC, you can claim a DraftKings North Carolina promo that grants you $250 in bonus bets.
To get the $250 in bonus bets from DraftKings, you must place a $5 wager on any game. It doesn’t matter what you place it on: as long as the wager is made, you will get $250 in bonus bets.
The bonus bets from this DraftKings North Carolina promo are given out in $25 increments, meaning that you will get ten total $25 bonus bet blocks to use on wagers. These bonus bets cannot be split down further but can be combined to make a bigger wager.
If you use these bonus bets on a wager, you will only get back the profits and not the original stake. Also, the bonus bets received from this promotion expire seven days after appearing in your account.
How to claim a DraftKings promo in other states
In other states, DraftKings provides their standard “bet/get” offering. This promo allows you to bet $5 to get $150 in bonus bets. The terms and conditions of this offer are similar to the NC “bet/get”. You get the bonus bets whether you win or lose, and there is no odds restriction on your wager.
The second portion of the DraftKings offer in non-NC states consists of a play-through bonus worth up to $1,000 that comes via a 20% deposit match. You would thus need to deposit $5,000 to get the $1,000 in play-through bonus.
You do not get your $1,000 in play-through bonus immediately after making your deposit. Instead, you have to slowly earn it by making bets. After any bet you make, 4% of your wager is credited to your account as bonus bets and deducted from the maximum amount you can earn. For example, let’s assume I had $1,000 in play-through bonus and made a bet of $1,000. I would get $40 in bonus bets and then have $960 left to earn.
This DraftKings offer can be claimed in the following states: NY, NJ, PA, IN, IA, WV, CO, TN, IL, VA, MI, AZ, KS, LA, WY, MD, OH, and MA.
Betting on the NBA with DraftKings
The main sport this Friday will be the NBA. The Clippers-Pelicans game could be of particular interest, on the evening. The outcome of this game could determine who ends up in the top end of the Western Conference.
One of the easiest ways to bet on this game would be to place a moneyline wager. The Pelicans are listed at -298 to win against the Clippers on DraftKings. There’s certainly a good chance they will do so.
Firstly, Kawhi Leonard will be out with an injury, making the Clippers’ offense a lot worse. The Pelicans have a lot of quality defenders in the starting lineup such as Herb Jones and Brandon Ingram, whose length could cause trouble for Paul George and James Harden. Leonard’s absence will be a huge blow to Los Angeles.
Also, star Zion Williamson is rounding into form. Over his last 10 games, Williamson is averaging 22.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game in a point-forward role. The Clippers’ lack of rim protection will make this a good matchup for Williamson as well. That could perhaps lead to a dominant performance.
Overall, there are a variety of factors that make me think the Pelicans have a good chance of winning this matchup against the Clippers.
