New users can secure high-value bonus bets as the industry monitors line stability for Saturday's matchup.
DraftKings is targeting new users with a promotion offering $200 in bonus bets following an initial $5 wager, as CBS Sports first reported. The bonus bets are distributed within a 21-day window.
The timing of the offer coincides with the Saturday night matchup between Ole Miss and LSU. Market volatility has been a focal point for the game, specifically regarding LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt. CBS Sports reports that Leavitt was previously listed as doubtful on the injury report before being moved to questionable and eventually off the report entirely.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Leavitt, the impact on the betting market has been minimal. Micah Roberts, an expert at SportsLine, noted that Las Vegas oddsmakers did not react to the news, leaving the point spread unchanged. The current lines listed via DraftKings place LSU at -112 and Ole Miss at +3.
As part of its industry offerings, DraftKings maintains a "Responsible Gaming Center" on user profile pages. CBS Sports reports that this center includes "Safer Play Tools" for managing deposit, wagering, and time limits, alongside 24/7 live chat support.
