With sports betting going live in North Carolina on Mar. 11, DraftKings has started operations in the Tar Heel state. If you are in NC and want to sign up with DraftKings, use the DraftKings North Carolina promo provided below to claim an offer worth $250 in bonus bets
To receive the $250 in bonus bets, you have to place a wager of $5 or more on any odds provided by DraftKings. The bonus bets are credited to your account even if you lose your wager. The bonus bets are given out in $25 increments, meaning that you will get ten total $25 blocks of bonus bets.
Bonus bets from DraftKings expire seven days after appearing in your account.
This is a sign-up promotion, so if you already have a DraftKings account after registering in another state, you will not be eligible to get $250 in bonus bets.
DraftKings promo in other states
In other states, you will still have access to a DraftKings promo. You can sign up to get DraftKings’ standard “bet/get” offering, which requires a $5 wager for $150 in bonus bets.
There is also another DraftKings promo option that grants up to $1,000 in play-through bonus. The process of getting this bonus is somewhat complicated, so I have outlined the key terms and conditions of the offer below.
- You will receive the $1,000 play-through bonus via a 20% deposit match offer. You thus need to add $5,000 in cash to your account to get the maximum $1,000 that is available.
- The $1,000 play-through bonus isn’t credited to your account immediately. Rather, you get 4% of any wager you make credited to your account as bonus bets, and deducted from the play-through bonus. You would need to bet a total of $25,000 to receive the full $1,000 from this promotion.
- You have 90 days to get the full $1,000 in play-through bonus.
This promotion is available 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 NBA will be one of the more prominent sports on the evening, with matchups like Timberwolves-Clippers and Pacers-Thunder likely providing exciting basketball. The league is extremely talented and competitive right now. Any matchup between two playoff/play-in teams is bound to be a solid watch.
One option for you when placing a bet on the NBA with DraftKings is creating a same-game parlay. Here is one option I found intriguing for the Pacers-Thunder matchup.
- Chet Holmgren under 15.5 points and Pascal Siakam over 20.5 points (+266).
The matchup here might be tough for Chet Holmgren, as Myles Turner is one of the best interior defenders in the league. Turner averages 1.8 blocks per game, and his defensive skill could cause problems for Holmgren who is primarily an interior scorer. Holmgren is averaging 16.9 points per game but has gone under 15.5 points in four of his last five games.
Pascal Siakam should have a size advantage over Jalen Williams, who plays the PF position for the Thunder. Siakam’s athleticism and size could cause problems overall for the Thunder who tend to play small ball. The Pacers forward is averaging 22.2 points. It is fair to say that Siakam is a little inconsistent as a scorer as he is a player that tends to make the right play rather than forcing the issue. However, the favorable matchup leads me to believe that he can get over 20.5 points here.
