Sign up for $100 bonus bet with DraftKings Louisiana
While Louisiana Gaming Control Board Chairman has indicated that online sports betting in Louisiana expects to launch by Jan. 1, 2022, there’s no time like the present to sign up with DraftKings Sportsbook.
Sure, DraftKings Louisiana can’t accept any actual bets just yet. But users in the state can still register their accounts so as to be ready for when the mobile industry launches. Likely in time for much of the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl.
And DraftKings has an incentive to get those sign-ups going right away.
Just by downloading the app and creating an online sports betting account, DraftKings will reward new users with a $100 bonus bet. The offer is good for new users only of DraftKings, which will credit those customers’ accounts the day online sports betting in Louisiana goes live.
Bettors will have seven days to use the bonus bet.
How to sign up and claim the DraftKings Louisiana $100 bonus bet
When mobile wagering does launch in Louisiana, users will have to be located within the state border as well as within one of the 55 parishes that legalized sports betting.
That said, users can be anywhere to sign up.
What’s more, the process to do so and claim the $100 bonus bet is simple. After downloading and opening the DraftKings Louisiana app, users only need to follow the prompts and submit several pieces of personal information.
DraftKings needs this data in order to verify the identities of its customers and ensure they are eligible to participate in legal sports betting in Louisiana. Information to have ready includes:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Last four digits of Social Security number
- Mailing address
- Phone number
- Email address
Once users agree to DraftKings’ terms and conditions, as well as opting in to the bonus bet offer, Louisiana bettors will be on the list to accept that $100 credit.
