DraftKings March Madness Round 1 promo details
This DraftKings March Madness promo does not require a specific code to claim it. Rather, new DK Sportsbook users will simply have to click on Legal Sports Report’s exclusive link.
Once a new customer creates a DraftKings Sportsbook account and makes an initial minimum deposit of $5 or more, that account will receive a $50 bonus bet.
Then, after an initial wager of as little as $5, the new customer will receive an additional $200 in bonus bets in the form of eight $25 bets, irrespective of whether that initial bet wins or loses. All bonus bets expire seven days from when DraftKings issues them. Additionally, the value of the bonus bet will not be part of the return for a winning wager.
Finally, new users are also eligible for a 20% deposit match through DraftKings’ March Madness promo, up to a maximum of $1,000. However, that component does have a 25x playthrough requirement, albeit on any DraftKings product, and users will have 90 days to unlock all available bonus cash.
How to claim the DraftKings March Madness promo
Capitalizing on the DraftKings March Madness Promo is a streamlined process:
- New users will begin by clicking on Legal Sports Report’s exclusive sign-up link.
- That will lead them to a DraftKings landing page where they can click a green sign-up button.
- Users will then be directed to the account creation screen, where they’ll need to provide an e-mail address, username, mobile number and password if they’re not already using another DraftKings product (DFS, casino). New DK Sportsbook users who are already using another DraftKings product will instead click on the “Already using DraftKings?” link.
- Once they’ve finished entering all required information, users will click “Create Account” at the bottom.
- Users will then make an initial deposit of at least $5 on the next screen utilizing one of the platform’s available deposit methods, which will trigger the initial award of a $50 bonus bet.
- Once they’ve added money to their account, users can then make an initial bet of at least $5 (utilizing their own funds, not the bonus bet that they received for depositing) to trigger the additional $200 in bonus bets.
Best bet on DraftKings for Round 1
Georgia +5.5 vs. Gonzaga (-105)
It’s often said that the teams that enter the postseason clicking on all cylinders can be the most dangerous, as opposed to an opponent that may have had a more aesthetically pleasing regular-season record.
We have such a case in this all-Bulldogs first-round matchup, and although we’re not prepared to go all the way and declare an outright upset, a cover of 5.5 points on the part of Georgia is certainly within the range of outcomes.
Georgia finished its regular season with a solid 20-12 record, but it’s against whom the last few victories were secured that’s particularly impressive. The Bulldogs knocked off Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Vanderbilt for their last four wins, three of those against tournament teams.
Meanwhile, Gonzaga had just two wins against tournament teams all season, at least slightly undermining its 25-8 mark. Georgia freshman Asa Newell is also playing beyond his experience level, and his squad closed out strong defensively by allowing under 70 points in three of its last four games to finish with a slightly lower average of points per game surrendered (69.3) than Gonzaga (69.6).
