What the Offer Looks Like
The offer is just betting $1 on any of the games (pregame) of the NBA Finals and win up to $150 in site credits. This is for new customers, who make their first deposit and bet at least $1 on any of the games. The deposit just has to be $5 or more, and you are on your way to some free money!
If you bet $1 or more on the money line of any of the games, and your team wins, you will be issued a $100 bonus into your winnings, plus the earnings of the bet. The money is paid out via site credit (DraftKings dollars). Once you have received your DraftKings dollars, they become a one-time play-through, where if you win with the $100 free Draftkings dollars, that will go into your real money account. Until the DraftKings money is wagered, it has no cash value.
This is good for one qualifying bet per user, and users must be in the following states: Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia. This offer does NOT include live bets, parlays, free bets, cash-out bets, voided bets, or odds boosts.
2021 NBA Finals Matchup
The Phoenix Suns are looking for their first-ever NBA title. The Suns have not been in the NBA Finals since 1993, when Michael Jordan and the company made quick work of them. The Suns finished the regular season second in the Western Conference and took care of the Lakers, Nuggets, and Clippers en route to the NBA Finals.
For Milwaukee, they have not been in the NBA Finals since 1974. The Bucks won their only title in team history back in 1971 behind Kareem Abdul Jabbar. That year, the Bucks swept the Washington Bullets in four games. Milwaukee finished this season 46-26, which was good enough for third in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks beat the Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets, and Atlanta Hawks thus far in the postseason.
The big news coming into this game is the status of Bucks star Giannis Anteotokounmpo. The Greek Freak was doubtful to play but has recently been updated to questionable. He will certainly be a factor in this series and comes in at third in the NBA Finals MVP voting behind Chris Paul and Devin Booker. Paul is +160, Booker at +250, and Antetokounmpo is listed at +400.
Get your bets in! Enjoy the NBA Finals and make sure you take full advantage of the great offer our friends at Draftkings are putting together!
