Hockey fans looking to place wagers on the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs can take advantage of a special promotion from DraftKings. Their latest offer provides new customers with $200 in bonus bets when they place a wager of $5 or more.
How to Claim Your DraftKings Promo Code
This welcome offer is exclusively for new users. If you`ve previously had a DraftKings account, even in a different state, you are not eligible. Eligible users can follow these steps to secure the bonus:
- Register for a new DraftKings account by providing your personal details such as name, address, email, and payment information.
- Make an initial deposit of at least $5 and then place your first bet of $5 or more on any market. There are no minimum odds required for this initial wager.
- Regardless of whether your first bet wins or loses, you will receive $200 in bonus bets, typically issued as eight separate $25 bonus bet credits.
Bonus bets are usually credited to your account shortly after your qualifying bet settles, and they are valid for seven days (168 hours) before expiring. When using bonus funds, only the winnings from a successful wager are returned to you, not the original bonus stake. For instance, if you win a $25 bonus bet at +100 odds, you will receive $25 in cash winnings.
Betting on the NHL Playoffs
The NHL playoffs are underway, featuring exciting matchups. Tuesday`s schedule includes three Game 2s, plus the defending champion Florida Panthers begin their title defense against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1 of a state rivalry series. The Lightning, as the higher seed, aim to advance past the first round after recent early exits.
Another key series sees the Carolina Hurricanes, who have made it past the first round in the last four postseasons, trying to take a 2-0 lead against the New Jersey Devils. In an all-Ontario series, the Toronto Maple Leafs look to build on their Game 1 victory where six different players scored. While Canadian teams have often reached the Stanley Cup Final, none have won the trophy since the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
Out West, the Vegas Golden Knights, champions in 2023, seek a 2-0 lead over the Minnesota Wild. Vegas is considered a strong contender this season. They showed good form in their 4-2 Game 1 win, with players like Thomas Hertl and Brett Howden contributing two points each, and Pavel Dorofeyev adding a goal.
