The operator is targeting new acquisitions with a low-barrier entry offer requiring a $5 minimum wager.

DraftKings has introduced a promotional offer targeting new users, providing $150 in bonus bets following an initial wager of at least $5, according to reporting from CBS Sports.

The acquisition offer is being marketed alongside specific MLB betting angles for Monday's slate. CBS Sports highlighted several picks from SportsLine experts Eric Cohen, Micah Roberts and Matt Severance, including a parlay with a payout of +599. The individual legs of the promoted slate include C.J. Abrams over 1.5 total bases (-125) for the Nationals, Cincinnati -1.5 (+128) against the Guardians, and Chicago +1.5 (-142) against the Yankees.

From an industry perspective, the structure of the offer focuses on a low-cost entry point ($5) to convert new customers into active users. The promotion coincides with SportsLine's projection model, which CBS Sports notes has simulated every MLB game 10,000 times and returned nearly 30 units of profit on home run prop picks in 2025.
