DraftKings Michigan Sportsbook Promo Code & Review

Like much of the user experience on DraftKings, depositing and withdrawing funds is simple. There's a giant green button on the far right of the home screen for users to make deposits. Users may make deposits (minimum $10) with credit or debit cards, online banking from your checking or savings account, PayPal, Play+, PayNearMe, wire transfers (including ACH) and even a DraftKings gift card. With nearly a dozen options, there's a way for everyone to make a deposit with DraftKings.

While it is more difficult to find the withdraw option – you will need to go to your account settings and click the "withdraw" button placed low on the left rail – the process is simple from there. Withdrawal times can be up to 5 days electronically or 10-14 days via mailed check, but the former usually goes quicker than that. As is typical in the industry, there is a waiting period for withdrawals, but once approved, PayPal and Play+ provide near-instant access to your funds. You can't withdraw back on to a credit card.

Users also have the option to set limits and cooldown periods for themselves under DraftKings' Responsible Gaming provisions, which also contains resources for those who are concerned they may have a gambling problem. That's also an easy-to-use and easy-to-find feature on the website that bettors can take advantage of at any time.

As expected, DraftKings allows you to bet on all of the major pro sports, including football, basketball, soccer, hockey, golf and more — plus college football and basketball. Beyond the mainstream action, you can also gamble on the UFC and other MMA promotions, motorsports such as NASCAR, plus boxing, rugby, cricket and even darts.

DraftKings shows all of the available sports on the left rail of its home page, and it also elevates the most popular live or upcoming events to the top of that rail. It takes this a step further by noting with a green symbol the sports that also have odds boosts attached to them, making it easier for bettors to find value throughout the site on a sport they may or may not be considering betting on.

Whether the Lions are gearing up for a Sunday Night Football matchup with the rival Bears, or the Tigers are going for a sweep in Minnesota, or if you're a bettor looking to switch things up on a slow day with a more obscure betting option or betting market, DraftKings has you covered. There's something for everyone at all hours of every day.

Given that DraftKings is among the upper tier of U.S. online gambling sites, the operator offers all of the most popular betting options, including, but not limited to: moneylines, spreads, alternate spreads, over-unders, player and team prop bets, exact scores, winning margins and parlays.

But DraftKings doesn't stop there. Its “promotions” tab on the banner of its website unveils a host of contests and features for users. Among them, free-to-play pools that award cash prizes, profit boosts on major sporting events and mystery boxes that give users different boosts based on luck. It is constantly rolling out new features, so make sure to stay on top of its constantly changing and improving promotions tab.

DraftKings is a full-service sportsbook that features all the typical betting options you'll see at all major Michigan sportsbooks. DraftKings' seamless and quick website and mobile app make these features easy to use for a fun, rewarding betting experience. Among the top features:

While you might think that once the contest starts, your window for betting has closed, that couldn't be further from the truth! Because once the contest starts, that's when betting gets really fun and interactive. DraftKings, like many popular sportsbooks, offers live betting, or in-play betting, on a multitude of contests. Maybe one team has jumped out to a big lead, and the spread line has moved, so you want to get in on the action. Or perhaps, the real-time moneyline in the second quarter is just too enticing to pass up. The DraftKings sportsbook app boasts incredibly fast response times that can be the difference between getting a live bet in and missing out. Don't miss your shot!

A cash out option is a perfect way to hedge your bet, if you're having second thoughts about your initial wager. Suppose your bet on the Dallas Mavericks looked great before tipoff, but they're down to the Indiana Pacers by 30 in the second quarter, and you feel like there's no plausible chance of a comeback. The good news is, DraftKings, like many operators, has an option that allows players to cash out on certain bets while they're still in play to minimize the bettor's total losses. The cash out total updates in real-time, but there is a cutoff on when you can take advantage of this option, so keep a close watch on your picks!

If you're someone who loves to shop for odds and look for deals, DraftKings is the place to be. No other sportsbook offers the amount and versatility of odds boosts than DraftKings, which is constantly throwing favorable odds toward its users. It also doesn't hide those boosts, routinely emailing users about the hottest boosts and even indicating on the home page which sports have live boosts in play. Stay engaged to take advantage.

DraftKings offers same game parlays that allow bettors to combine multiple bets from the same contest to form their own parlay. Not every bet within a game will be eligible for addition into a parlay, but DraftKings' betslip will flag you in real-time to alert you.

DraftKings' desktop experience is an easy-to-use, somewhat busy one. Because they've been around for so long and are now established as one of the larger U.S. sportsbooks, they have plenty to offer. That's good for bettors but sometimes tough for navigating. The left rail of all available sports, including the bolded "popular" sports, are a nice touch, and the green megaphone icon indicating a live odds boost is a smart move to draw a bettor's eye. Users always know where they can find the best odds.

Clicking into a particular sport gives users the ability to see live and upcoming games with spreads, totals and moneylines. A sport's page will also list all relevant futures across the top banner, a nice touch for users who want to bet on live games but are also interested in seeing what futures look like. Clicking on a particular sport also gives users the option to bet on leagues around the world in an easy-to-use dropdown menu.

As noted, odds boosts are featured prominently on the site, which isn't always the case with sportsbooks. DraftKings is inviting. Though it can be noisy at times – and the lime-green font can hurt the eyes after a while – the desktop experience is easy for a new player to learn.

Customer support is average on DraftKings. There isn't a 24-hour live chat and users are given the option of reaching out by submitting a form or calling their support number. Times can fluctuate, which can be frustrating for users who are dealing with issues in real time. The DraftKings app largely mirrors the website, which is a plus.

You won't have to worry about geolocators acting up on DraftKings' sports betting app. It's one of the strongest features, followed closely by the uniformity it has to the desktop website. All the features are the same, giving users a seamless transition on the go from their phone and tablets. The DraftKings sportsbook app is available on IOS and Android devices.

DraftKings' registration is different than most of the other sportsbooks we've reviewed, but that doesn't necessarily make it difficult. New users will go through the typical steps of creating a username and including an email address, physical address, date of birth and password. Users will have to verify their identity by providing the last four digits of their Social Security number and confirm their location (using geolocation software that's downloaded) to make sure they are in a state where DraftKings is legally operating as a sportsbook if customers want to place a real-money sports bet. Be sure to add the DraftKings sportsbook promo code (if applicable) to collect your welcome bonus, but often no bonus code is needed.

Because DraftKings was around for years in the daily fantasy sports industry before starting a sportsbook, users who have an existing DFS account are already registered for the sportsbook. You will still need to confirm identity and location, but you will not need to make a new user name and password. This is an important step to note, because users who attempt to make a new account with the exact information of an existing DFS account will be locked out of both. We've found that the process of removing that lock is time-consuming and frustrating.

DraftKings doesn't have an extensive loyalty program, but it does exist. Players can earn tokens called "Crowns" with every bet they make. Those Crowns can eventually be redeemed as promotional dollars anywhere on the site, including on their casino games and daily fantasy sports contests. Customers can also use these Crowns to boost wagers of their choice to receive a higher return on a bet.

DraftKings prominently features a Responsible Gaming" button atop the rail on the home page. One click on that button brings users to a page with copious resources. Included are a list of phone numbers across the country for users to dial, as well as a host of links for bettors to use including practical tips, gambling myths, the risks associated with gambling and signs to look for if you are worried you or a loved one has a gambling problem.

There's also a section on that page for users to learn about setting limits and cooldown periods within their specific accounts. There are also email options and phone numbers specific to DraftKings that users can use, with the website making it clear that "customer support will be available 24/7."

We struggle to find anything to dislike about DraftKings. It is one of the best and one of our favorite sportsbooks, from the user experience – you’ll get used to all the green font eventually, trust us – to myriad options for odds boosts, a solid customer support team and the comfort of an established brand. DraftKings continues to carve out a major space in states where sports betting is legalized, including Michigan, and it won't be a surprise to see them leading that charge during the next few years. If there are any notable drawbacks – sign-up bonuses aren't the best and the rewards program is just OK – they aren't enough to sway us. When it comes to Michigan sportsbooks, DraftKings is tough to beat.
