New customers at DraftKings can receive $200 in bonus bets and three months of free NBA League Pass by placing an initial wager of $5. The bonus funds are credited within 21 days of the qualifying bet. This promotion arrives as the NFL enters Week 8, offering a financial incentive for new users to join the platform during a busy broadcast schedule.

The promotion applies to all new users who make their first wager on the site. The $200 in bonus bets can be used on sports or other events, while the NBA League Pass subscription provides access to live games and content for the quarter. DraftKings positions this as a top-tier offer, designed to attract bettors looking to maximize value before Sunday’s matchups.

SportsLine’s Projection Model, which has a 58-51 record on top-rated picks since 2024, recommends two specific bets for Sunday’s games. The model suggests betting the Under 40.5 points in the Chiefs versus Broncos game. It projects this outcome will occur in 55% of its 10,000 simulations for that matchup.

For the Sunday Night Football game between the Eagles and Commanders, SportsLine expert R.J. White recommends backing the Eagles as 6-point underdogs. White noted that the Eagles held their own against the Cowboys in their previous game, despite injury issues. He argued that Washington’s offense is vulnerable without Terry McLaurin and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who are sidelined. White described the market line movement as excessive for the current state of both teams.

The model has generated strong returns for players who follow its top-rated picks, with a cumulative profit of more than $5,000 for $100 players on betting sites since its inception. The model’s accuracy is a key selling point for the recommended bets. Users can combine the two recommended picks into a single parlay bet, which currently offers odds of +264 at DraftKings. This means a $100 stake would yield a profit of $264 if both selections win.

DraftKings also emphasizes responsible gaming tools for users. The platform offers a Responsible Gaming Center with options for deposit limits, wagering limits, and time limits. Users can access these tools through their profile pages. A support team is available 24/7 via live chat, and the platform provides contact information for state and national helplines for those who need additional assistance.
