What You Get
The Vermont DraftKings welcome offer is the simplest and lowest-friction signup bonus among the three licensed operators in the state. Register a new account, deposit at least $5, and place a single $5+ qualifying bet at any odds. As soon as that bet settles; win or lose; DraftKings credits $200 in bonus bets to your account.
Compared to FanDuel's win-and-get offer (which only pays if your bet wins) and Fanatics' daily-drip offer (which requires $50 wagered every day for 10 days), DraftKings is the easiest to actually trigger.
How to Claim; Step by Step
- Click "Claim Offer" above. The link drops you on the Vermont landing page with the welcome offer attached to the registration flow. No code typing is needed.
- Create your account. You'll provide your legal name, date of birth, address, last four digits of your Social Security number (for identity verification), and your email. The whole flow takes 3–5 minutes.
- Verify your identity. DraftKings runs an automated KYC check against public records. Most users are verified instantly; some are asked to upload a driver's license or passport.
- Enable geolocation. DraftKings will install a small geolocation plug-in on desktop or use your phone's location services on mobile. You must be physically inside Vermont to wager.
- Deposit at least $5. Debit card, ACH bank transfer, PayPal, Apple Pay, online banking, or Play+ prepaid card. The $5 minimum is the lowest in the Vermont market.
- Place your $5+ qualifying bet. Any market, any odds; moneyline, spread, total, parlay, prop, future. The bet does not need to win.
- $200 in bonus bets arrive. Within minutes of your qualifying bet settling, $200 credits to your account as bonus bets (typically split into eight $25 tokens, or eight in various denominations).
- Use the bonus bets within 7 days. Unused bonus bets expire 7 days after issue.

Bonus Bet Mechanics; Read This Before You Use Them
A bonus bet is a single-use stake token. When a bonus bet wins, you receive the profit only; the stake itself is not returned to your balance. Example: a $50 bonus bet at +200 odds wins $100 in cash (instead of $150 cash + $50 stake that a real-money bet at the same odds would return). Bonus bets generally cannot be cashed out, parlayed in some configurations, or used on certain promotional or boosted markets.
The practical implication: longer-odds bonus bets return more cash on a win. A $25 bonus bet at +500 wins $125 in cash; the same token at –110 wins about $23. Most experienced bettors use bonus bets on higher-odds wagers to maximize cash conversion.
Expiration & Validity
- Offer validity: The Vermont welcome offer is open-ended; DraftKings has been running this format since launching in Vermont on January 11, 2024. We re-verify the terms monthly; the version on this page was last verified on April 26, 2026.
- Bonus bet expiry: 7 days from credit. Unused bonus bets after 7 days are forfeit and cannot be reinstated.
- Qualifying bet window: Place your $5 qualifying bet within 7 days of account registration. Miss the window and the bonus doesn't trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a DraftKings Vermont promo code to claim the welcome offer?
No. DraftKings runs its Vermont welcome offer through partner links rather than a typed code. Click any "Claim Offer" button on this page, register a new account, deposit at least $5, and place a $5+ qualifying bet; the $200 in bonus bets will credit automatically. If a promotional code is ever required in the future, we will update this page within 24 hours of the change.
How much do I have to bet to trigger the bonus?
A single $5 qualifying wager at any odds is enough. The bet does not need to win. Once your $5 bet settles (win or lose), $200 in bonus bets credits to your account within minutes.
Can I withdraw the $200 in bonus bets directly?
No. Bonus bets are single-use stake tokens. You wager them on any qualifying market, and if the bet wins you receive the cash winnings; the bonus bet stake itself is not returned. For example, a $50 bonus bet at +100 odds wins $50 in withdrawable cash, not $100.
How long do I have to use the bonus bets?
Bonus bets expire 7 days after they are issued to your account. Unused bonus bets after 7 days are forfeit. You can split your $200 into multiple bonus bets ($25, $50, $100, etc.) or use it on a single wager.
Can I register from outside Vermont and claim the offer?
Yes; Vermont allows fully remote registration. You can create your DraftKings account from anywhere with internet access. However, you must be physically located inside Vermont (verified by geolocation) when you place your $5 qualifying bet. The bonus will not trigger if your qualifying wager is placed outside VT state lines.
I already have a DraftKings account from another state. Can I still use this offer?
The welcome offer is for new DraftKings Sportsbook customers only. If you have an existing DraftKings account (sports, casino, or DFS), you are not eligible for the new-user bonus. You can still use your existing account in Vermont once geolocation confirms you are inside VT state lines.
What is the minimum deposit to claim the offer?
DraftKings has the lowest minimum deposit in the Vermont market; $5. That is also the minimum qualifying bet, so $5 is the smallest possible buy-in to claim the full $200 bonus.
Does the offer apply to sports betting only, or also casino?
This page covers DraftKings Sportsbook only; the sports betting product licensed by the Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery. DraftKings Casino is not legal in Vermont; Vermont has not authorized online casino gaming as of April 2026.
What happens to my qualifying $5 bet itself?
Your $5 qualifying bet is a real-money wager that settles normally. If it wins, you keep the cash winnings plus your stake. If it loses, you lose the $5. Either way, the $200 in bonus bets credits to your account once the qualifying bet settles.
