Redeem your $1,250 DraftKings welcome offer hassle-free

DraftKings treats its Old Line State bettors to an easy-to-claim welcome bonus. Anyone aged 21 or over without a DraftKings account is eligible for this enticing promo. All they have to do to qualify for the offer is complete a few simple steps.

1. Open the registration form, and fill in the required fields. You’ll have to enter data like your name, email, phone number, password, and last digits of your SSN. This promotion doesn’t require a DraftKings Maryland promo code for activation, so you can’t skip that box.
2. Make sure that the information you’ve entered matches your government-issued ID. This way, you won’t have any issues later when you need to verify your identity.
3. Submit your account request to the management, wait for them to activate it, and sign in.

As soon as you reach the site, you only need to check a few more things. You’ll find them all in one place — the Bonus Terms and Conditions section. Navigate to this page and skim the text looking for the following information:

• Minimum deposit limits — All sportsbook deposit bonuses come with qualifying deposit restrictions. They’ll tell you the minimum amount you can fund your account with to unlock the promo offer.
• Betting options — Certain DraftKings promotions mandate using bonus funds on specific sports, events, or bet types, while others impose limits on bet amounts and odds for bonus activation. Whatever the requirements, you need to comply to receive the bonus.
• Playthrough requirements — Certain bonuses, like deposit matches, come with playthrough conditions. This means you must bet a certain amount before your bonus funds will be released. Typically, the DraftKings deposit match bonus comes with a 25x playthrough requirement.
• Validity of the offer — Sports betting bonuses have a validity period ranging from a week to 90 days. This number indicates the time you have to fulfill the rollover requirement and use the bonus funds before they disappear from your account.

Take note of these guidelines and follow the on-page instructions. Getting your DraftKings Maryland welcome bonus will be a breeze.

DraftKings welcome bonuses

Not all DraftKings welcome bonuses are cut from the same cloth. Here are the common bonus formats this popular sportsbook likes to switch between in Maryland:

• Deposit match bonuses can be great, but you really need to read the fine print on these. First, you need to see how much of your initial deposit will be matched. Is it 100%, 50%, or only 20%? Next, is your bonus cash released right away or does it come with playthrough requirements? And lastly, how long do you have to release all your bonus money?
• Deposit & get bonuses are usually very simple to understand. You deposit a certain amount and you instantly receive the stated bonus.
• Bet & get promotions are virtually identical to deposit and get offers. The only difference is here you must bet a set amount to get the stated bonus
• First-bet refund bonuses offer a refund of sorts if your opening bet loses. Just be warned, rarely (if ever), do you get a cash refund. Typically sportsbook refund you with bonus bets which must be wagered.

Can I trust DraftKings Sportsbook?

Yes, DraftKings is dependable and trustworthy. Before becoming one of the top sportsbook entities in the US, with mobile sportsbooks in many other states, DraftKings was one of the top daily fantasy sports sites in the country, which it still is.

In addition, to operate in the Maryland sports betting market, DraftKings received the approval of the Sports Wagering Application Review Commission, and it operates under the jurisdiction of the Maryland State Lottery & Gaming Control Agency.

DraftKings has a couple key Maryland partnerships, strengthening its ties to the local community. DraftKings is the official sports betting partner of the Baltimore Ravens. And for licensing purposes, DraftKings is partnered with Timonium Racetrack at the Maryland State Fairgrounds. The expectation is a retail DraftKings sportsbook will eventually arrive there.

You need to be 21 or older and within state lines to bet at DraftKings in Maryland. To confirm the second part, be sure geolocation is enabled on your device.

Getting started at DraftKings Maryland sports betting

To register for a DraftKings Sportsbook account in Maryland, click the link on this page to get started. From there, select the green “Sign Me Up” link. If you have a DraftKings Fantasy account already, you can then select the small blue “Log In” button. Otherwise, you must submit the following details:

• Name
• Email
• Cellphone
• Address
• Birthdate
• Social Security number (last four digits)
• Password

On the off chance, DraftKings cannot confirm your personal info, you will have to submit a form of picture ID. The majority of the time you can upload a driver’s license or passport photo and that will suffice.

How do I download the DraftKings Maryland app?

The DraftKings app works equally well on Android and Apple devices. And downloading the app is both effortless and fast. First, head to the sportsbook site and look for the download buttons. You should see one for each operating system: “Download on the App Store” and “Download for Android.” Click the appropriate button to download and install the correct app for your device.

Where do I find DraftKings promotions?

Some of DraftKings Sportsbook’s promotions are visible near the top of the page on both the app and website. To be sure that you’re not missing anything, though, you can select the promos header at the top. The DraftKings promotion page has three sections (missions, rewards and promotions):

DraftKings missions

Missions at DraftKings are basically a different type of promotion. You’ll receive an assignment from the sportsbook, and if you complete it, you’ll get a prize.

A mission could be something as simple as, “Place three over/under bets and earn a $5 bonus bet” or much bigger such as “Place three spread bets of $300 or more and get a $150 bonus bet.” Missions will have a deadline to complete your goal. You’ll see a counter showing how close you are to finishing the mission and when it will expire.

Rewards and Crowns

The rewards section shows you how many DK Crowns you have, the rewards that are available to you, the rewards you’re currently using, and those that have expired. You also may want to check your available rewards regularly to make sure you’re not forgetting anything.

Promotions

This is the section you’ll want to check the most often because DraftKings offers new promos daily.  Find a variety of  Maryland sports betting bonuses there, with these being some of the most popular ones:

• Boosts: Examples include “Get a 50% profit boost on any NFL bets today” or “Get a 33% profit boost on any three-leg NBA parlay today.” Just opt-in and then click on the boost before placing your bet.
• Insurance: The most common insurance offers are for the NFL, NBA, and NHL. For the NFL and NHL, you’ll receive a bonus bet if your first touchdown or first goal bet loses, but the player you bet on scores at any point in the contest. For the NBA, if your first basket scorer bet fails, you’ll get a bonus bet if that player scores the game’s second or third basket.
• No brainers: These are wagers on things that are a virtual guarantee of happening. You usually can’t win a ton of money because of bet caps ($10-$25), but it’s basically bonus money, so who’s going to complain?
• Hammers: This is DraftKings’ take on FanDuel Sportsbook’s Spread the Love contests. For a select game, DraftKings will lower the over/under line by one point for every 1,500 bettors who wager on it. The line will get so low that there is essentially zero chance of an over bet losing. These bets are usually capped at $25 with +100 odds, so you will double your bet.

Why should I choose the DraftKings Sportsbook app?

Here are three of the top reasons to sign up with DraftKings Sportsbook in Maryland.

• Variety of betting choices: You can bet on a multitude of different sports both in the US and internationally at DraftKings. In addition, you can place a variety of bets, with the available sports bet options for single games reaching into the triple digits.
• Plentiful rewards: There are so many ways to get rewarded at DraftKings that it’s sometimes hard to keep track of them all. You’ve got all the great promotions, and then there are the missions that allow you to get even more bonuses and the Crowns you can collect.
• DFS and pools: Chances are you’re at least somewhat familiar with DraftKings DFS, but did you know the sportsbook also has both paid and free sports pools you can enter? Pools are almost like a hybrid of sports betting and DFS. You answer questions for select events and then the top bettors get paid based on the pay table. One thing that we like about pools is you know someone is always going to win, which you can’t say about placing sports bets.

What won’t I like about the DraftKings Sportsbook app?

And here are a few weak points we’d like to see DraftKings improve.

• Cash out choices are sparse: If you have PayPal, this shouldn’t be a major problem, but otherwise, it could be. As it stands, you can withdraw funds via PayPal or by having a check sent to your home address. For such a huge sportsbook, these options fall well short of being up to par.
• Glitchy app at times: We’ll start by saying this has gotten better, but the DraftKings app is still far from perfect. Our biggest issue is that opting in to and using bonuses can be problematic. It’s not uncommon to have to opt-in multiple times, and even then the bonus won’t always show up for you.

What kind of bets can I make at DraftKings online betting?

DraftKings offers all the bets that you’ll find at most other Maryland sportsbooks. That includes moneylines, over/unders, spreads, and prop bets. You also can build parlays and round robins. Here is an example of a game listing at DraftKings:

What is the spread?

The point spread helps even the betting field. For our example, the line is 6.5. At the game’s end, the Ravens, who are favored, will have 6.5 points removed from their score if you bet on Baltimore. Or Washington will have 6.5 points added to its score if you bet on that side. If your team is still leading after adding or removing points, your bet wins.

The odds appear in parentheses, and they mean you would need to bet $112 on Washington or $109 on Baltimore to collect $100 in winnings.

Why do totals end in .5?

First, totals are bets on the combined score of a game. You either bet over or under the listed number. The reason many totals have a .5 at the end is to prevent ties, same as with point spreads.

If the totals betting line doesn’t end in .5 and a game ends exactly on that number, your bet is a push and you get your money back. If the wager was part of a parlay or other multi-bet, it’s no longer part of the consideration for your overall wager.

How do moneyline odds work?

There are two things to keep in mind with money line betting. First, negative numbers mean you must bet that much money for a chance to win $100. For instance, a $315 bet on the Baltimore Ravens would win $100, while a $31.50 bet would win you $10.

Positive numbers, meanwhile, mean a $100 bet will win you that much money back. Once again, you can adjust depending on the size of your wager. If you bet $100 on Washington, you would be in line to win $245, while a $10 bet would win $24.50 if correct.

Prop betting at DraftKings

It can be a little staggering how many prop betting options you’ll find at DraftKings. Think of prop bets as side wagers. When you click on a contest, you’ll see all the available betting choices. The most popular bets appear first, and you can click on different headers to see all the props DraftKings has to offer.

Parlays and other multi-bets

All you need to do to build parlays and round robins at DraftKings is add the bets you want to your bet slip. Parlays require you to get all your selections right, while round robins let you still win some money if you don’t get everything correct.

While parlays can lead to extremely large paydays, they are very difficult to win. Don’t be fooled when sportsbooks share huge wins on social media. Those wagers are definitely the exception and should not be your expectation.

Futures betting at DraftKings

DraftKings might have the most extensive futures bets of any online sportsbook in Maryland. When you click on individual leagues, you’ll see your futures betting options close to the top of the page. Prior to the NFL season, for example, the categories were team futures, awards, player totals, and offseason specials.

Live betting at DraftKings

Live betting lets you bet on games in real time. If you think a team that is trailing at halftime is going to stage a big comeback, you can bet on it. Or maybe you’re convinced a drive starting from a team’s own one-yard line is going to result in a touchdown, you can bet on that, too.

Can I bet on the Baltimore Orioles at DraftKings Sportsbook in Maryland?

Yes, DraftKings has an abundance of betting markets available for all Major League Baseball games, including the hometown Baltimore Orioles. You’ll be able to place all the bets we described above, as well as some distinctive MLB baseball bets:

• Inning bets: There are quite a few inning-related wagers you can place at DraftKings. Some of the most popular are for the first three and five innings of a game. These bets allow you to focus on just a game’s starting pitchers. You also can bet on total runs per inning and which team will win each inning.
• Odd/even: If you want a bet that really is a coin flip, try odd/even. You’re betting on whether a game will finish with the total runs being an odd or even number.
• Alternate lines: Just because one line is listed prominently doesn’t mean it’s the only one. When you click on the “Game Lines” section, you’ll find more options for spreads and totals for that game. These lines can be good when building parlays.
• Player props: It’s pretty amazing how many player prop bets DraftKings offers for every MLB game. While betting on a certain player to homer is popular, you also can wager on a player to get a hit, drive in a run or score a run. For pitchers, you’ll find over/under for strikeouts and wagers on whether they’ll get the win.
• First to X runs: You also can bet on which team will score a specified number of runs first. Remember, away teams bat first so they’ll always get the first crack. Also, at DraftKings, you’ll select “Tie” if you don’t think either team will reach a certain threshold.

Can I bet at DraftKings Sportsbook in person in MD?

How does DraftKings compare to other Maryland sportsbooks?

We’re pretty hard pressed to think of many sportsbooks that we even consider in DraftKings’ league at the moment. FanDuel Maryland definitely is one of them, and, depending on your preferences, the Caesars Maryland app, BetMGM mobile app and PointsBet Sportsbook app could be up there, as well. Other than that, DraftKings offers a pretty clear advantage over most others.
