How to Use the DraftKings App and Place a Bet

When you find an event that interests you, tap the relevant odds to add that bet to your current bet slip. As an example, you want to bet on the Denver Broncos at New York Giants game on kickoff weekend. The Giants are a 3-point dog. You could also select the Giants moneyline, which is +140, or you could choose the over/under, which is 42.5. The spread bet pays out -115, so a $10 wager would pay out $18.69. But you like the Giants to win outright, so you select the moneyline since it pays out $24.

You can submit the bet slip at this point. The details will then be available in the My Bets section. You can also add multiple bets to a single bet slip. Multiple single bets can be added. You also have the option to add multiple bets as a parlay or as a teaser. Once your slip is completed, tap to submit it.

Awesome!

Would give it 5 stars if they allowed me to deposit with bitcoin or venmo, but to be fair, you can make a deposit directly from your bank so plenty of options. The app is easy to use and lots of cool options like live betting and early cash outs. Go Rams!
