The minimum qualifying deposit is $5, and the maximum is $5000. The offer is limited to one per player and runs until February 27, 2022.
Bet $5 Win $200
The first deposit bonus is by no means the only enticing offer on the cards at DraftKings NY. New players can also bet $5 on any NFL, NBA, or College Football moneyline, and *collect $200 in free bets*, if their team wins.
The bonus funds are awarded as eight $25 bets on top of any winnings from the original bet. It’s a great offer but you will have to get in quick — the promo ends at 23:59 ET on Monday, January 10.
Free $100 bet

The better news is that you can do this up to five times. If your friend deposits at least $25, you will both receive $25; $50 or more and you both get $50; Over $100, and you and your friend will both score a cool $100.
Friends must join by using your personal referral link and make a first-time deposit of at least $25. They must also be completely new players to DraftKings (not just new to the sportsbook). The offer runs until February 1.
