⚠️ $1k DraftKings Bonus Drama - They Done Messed Up! 💀

[Cesare_Ponti]

brooo anyone else see this DraftKings mess?
they're getting sued over that "$1000 bonus" thing cause apparently you needed to:

• dump 5 grand deposit
• bet 25k in 90 days
• probably sacrifice your firstborn too lmao

like fr fr who even reads that fine print?
i mean we all know bonus terms usually suck but this is next level... got me checking all my bonus terms now
anyone actually tried getting this bonus? or got other bonus horror stories? spill the tea

first time seeing a bonus requirement actually go to court

worked in casino marketing for 5 years - this is bad even by industry standards. 25k wagering for 1k bonus is crazy predatory

 

[p@yd@y]

bruh moment dk really thought they could get away with this

 

[GRita]

lmaooo imagine depositing 5k for a "free" bonus

 

[BillThornes]

spent 12 years in iGaming marketing, these terms are wild af even for us. normal range is 15-20x, this is... checks calculator 25x deposit amount?!

bro your math is off. it's 25x the BONUS amount not deposit. still trash terms tho

@genEric oof my bad, you right! that's what i get for doing math before coffee but yeah, 25x bonus with that crazy deposit requirement is still predatory af

doesn't matter if it's bonus or deposit multiplier when you need yacht money to claim it

seeing some confusion about wagering calcs. as someone in marketing, let me break this down:

• Standard industry: 20-40x bonus amount
• This case: 25x bonus ($25k for $1k)
• BUT with $5k deposit requirement
• Effectively 5x deposit + 25x bonus

Never seen deposit requirement this high combined with wagering

so basically they want us to risk 30k to get 1k?

 

[Newbie]

wait so even "normal" bonuses need like 20-40x wagering for 1x bonus? damn

@Newbie yeah but usually with normal deposit requirements like "deposit 100 get 100". this 5k deposit requirement is what makes it super sketchy.

so basically they want us to risk 30k to get 1k?

@raw.p btw it's 25k wagering, not 30k - though at these numbers who even cares anymore lol

learning more about bonus math in this thread than in high school fr fr

speedrunning how to lose customer trust any%

 

[s@pphire]

yo i actually tried getting this bonus! got like $50 out of the $1k before giving up

 

[He1en]

@s@pphire spill the details queen

 

[s@pphire]

@s@pphire spill the details queen

nothing much to spill, deposit was pain enough, wagering requirements literally impossible unless you're a whale

 

[cihea_baraya]

betting requirements be like:

• normal casino: 20x
• tough casino: 35x
• draftkings: yes
