DraftKings Promo Code: How to Claim $1,200 in Bonuses
DraftKings Sportsbook is offering new customers a great sign-up bonus for the month of December. It’s one of the best promos among top online sportsbooks, with a total of $1,200 available for grabs in DraftKings bonuses.
The DraftKings promo code gives you several ways to win.
First, you’ll get a two-pronged deposit bonus — an instant $50 bonus bet just for making your first deposit as long as it’s $5 or more, and a 20% deposit match up to a value of $1,000 that you’ll receive in increments as you make more wagers.
The DraftKings promos don’t stop there. With our DraftKings promo code, you can also get $150 in bonus bets guaranteed after you place your first $5 bet on any sport.
And finally, new customers can also opt in every day for a daily No-Sweat same-game parlay. For this bonus, just opt in and bet (with your own money, not a bonus bet) on a same-game parlay with three or more legs. If you lose that SGP, you’ll get a bonus bet.

Kentucky vs. UNC Odds, Preview and Picks
Kentucky vs. UNC may not be the most famous rivalry for each team, but it’s certainly one with high stakes. Both teams have come out hot this season, with twinning 7-2 records going into Saturday’s matchup. The Tar Heels are No. 9 overall and first in the ACC, while the Wildcats are No. 14 overall and first in the SEC.
In their all-time head-to-head, UNC leads 25-17, while Kentucky leads 6-4 in their last 10 matchups. Kentucky coach John Calipari’s record against UNC is 7-4, while UNC’s coach Hubert Davis is just 0-1 against Kentucky.
Kentucky’s game is all about a high-powered offense helmed by Antonio Reeves and Rob Dillingham, but the team is still figuring out its identity after saying goodbye to last season’s star, Oscar Tshiebwe.
The Tar Heels have Armando Bacot and RJ Davis leading a powerful team that’s unbeaten vs. the SEC so far.
We’re picking the Tar Heels to win this one.
