New York sports betting launches at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, but you don’t have to wait until then to cash in, thanks to the DraftKings New York promo code that delivers early registrants and extra $100 in free bets — just for creating an account. That’s above and beyond its typical welcome offer, but only available until live betting starts on the DraftKings NY site.

The account is free to make and there’s no deposit required. You’ll just need to provide some basic personal info, such as your birthdate, home address and cell number, all of which are standard for registration at any sportsbook. It takes just minutes to sign up, and a $100 free bet bonus will be waiting for you at the finish line – and that’s before scoring the other welcome offers available.

When you collect your $100 free bet, you might be wondering, “Now what?” But it’s quite simple — free bets are used to place wagers in the same way you’d use real cash. The difference is that a free bet holds no monetary value of its own and cannot be cashed out.

If you have $100 in free bets right now, for instance, you could look at this Sunday’s matchup between the New York Giants and Washington Football Team. New York is a +240 underdog; Washington is a -305 favorite.

A $100 bet on the Giants, placed with free bet funds, would win $240 if Carolina pulled off the upset. Not a bad way to get started with legal New York sports betting! And if you aren’t feeling the upset but rather a tight game, take the Giants and give the seven points at -110 and score $90.90 payout if the Giants lose by less than a touchdown or win.

Other DraftKings New York Offers

Whether or not you cash in on DraftKings New York promo code early sign-up offer, the sportsbook has other promos to throw your way. Upon making your first deposit, you’ll receive a 20% bonus from DraftKings worth up to $1,000. So, a $100 deposit would net a $20 bonus, a $200 deposit would net $40, and so on. That bonus comes as cash- not free bets- but it’s subject to DraftKings’ 25x playthrough requirement.

There’s a $5 minimum deposit required for this bonus, and the value of that bonus increases in correlation with the deposit itself. For the 25x playthrough requirement, $1 of bonus cash is awarded for every $25 of real money wagered. Bettors have 90 days from the date of their deposit to unlock their bonus funds.

Jalen Hurts has sent a letter to the Washington Football Team and the NFL asking what follow-up action would be taken after Sunday's railing collapse at FedEx Field.

"I tried to handle the situation with a lot of poise and show compassion for the people that fell down, really, but I know it could have been so much worse," Hurts said. "It kind of didn't hit me until after the fact, having some time to reflect on it and think about it. I just wanted to see what could be done to make sure it doesn't happen again. That's all I really care about."

A railing on the side of the tunnel leading to the visiting locker room at FedEx Field collapsed just as Hurts was exiting. Multiple videos show a group of about eight fans falling approximately 6 feet to the ground.

Hurts sidestepped the falling fans and wasn't hit. He helped one individual up and asked several of them if they were OK while posing for pictures.

The Washington Football Team will announce its new nickname shortly before the Super Bowl on Feb. 2nd.

During a podcast in September with ESPN's Adam Schefter, WFT co-CEO Tanya Snyder confirmed that the final eight candidates were Armada, Presidents, Brigade, Redhawks, Commanders, RedWolves, Defenders and Football Team.

Washington has gone with Football Team for the past two seasons after announcing on July 13, 2020, that it would drop the mascot name it had used since the team formed in 1932.
