DraftKings has upped its game with the introduction of DraftKings Sportsbook Plus, a premium service that takes your betting experience to the next level. Once you subscribe, you receive unlimited access to boosted odds.
The downside is that the service is currently available only in New York. But, if you’re within the state, you’ll have no issues subscribing and having better lines at your fingertips. Here, I’ll discuss everything about DraftKings Plus, your eligibility, how to subscribe, and other necessary details to note before enjoying the service.
If you read our DraftKings review, you'll learn that the sportsbook has several top-notch features that make it stand out from the competition. It is considered a highly reputable betting platform, with thousands of daily markets for 30+ sports, including popular ones such as football and basketball.
The sportsbook is also known for its competitive pre-match and live odds. Now, with the introduction of the DraftKings Sportsbook Plus, bettors get even better odds on every parlay wager. However, it has a monthly fee of $20 and is only available in New York.
One of the major advantages of the DraftKings subscription service is that it offers unlimited access to Step Up boost tokens on all parlays and same game parlays (SGPs). With this feature, you can boost their standard lines by up to 100%. Keep in mind that you can only use the 100% boost for parlay bets with a maximum of 11 legs. Also, the highest bet amount when using Step Up tokens is $25.
Provided you're in any of the DraftKings legal states, you can easily create an account and enjoy the sportsbook's service. However, to get better DraftKings odds via the DraftKings Plus subscription service, you need to meet specific requirements besides having an account on the sportsbook.
| Location | You must be physically present in New York state |
| Age | Ensure you're 21 years and above |
| Login requirement | Log into your account via the DraftKings Sportsbook mobile app |
| App requirement | You must be on app version 5.10 or higher |
As I mentioned earlier, you must first have a DraftKings account before you can take advantage of the DraftKings boosted parlay odds. Similar to getting started on most betting sites, registering on the platform is a walk in the park. Below is a step-by-step guide to signing up at DraftKings:
To use DraftKings, you must download and install the sportsbook app. You do this by visiting your app store, searching for the brand, and tapping the install icon. The download process will take a few minutes.
Open the mobile app on your device and tap the register icon. A simple registration page will pop-up requiring you to fill out a few details about yourself.
Manually fill in your details, including your preferred username, password, email address, and phone number. Accept the terms and conditions and tap the "Create Account" icon at the bottom of the registration page.
DraftKings will require you to complete KYC verification before you proceed. You do this by submitting documents for two major things: identity verification and address confirmation. For identity verification, you need a government-issued ID card, a driver’s license, or an international passport. To confirm your address, submit a copy or a recent utility bill that clearly displays your name and address.
Besides having an active DraftKings account, you need a DK shop account. You can also complete the DK shop registration process in a few minutes. Once both accounts are active, login and follow these steps to activate DraftKings Sportsbook+:
Despite the benefit of getting DraftKings increased odds, there are some downsides to note about the DraftKings Sportsbook+ service. I've listed these pros and cons below:
