INVITATION OPTIONS


In order for a person to become a Referred Friend, the person must first click a Link. A person that clicks your Link will only be deemed a Referred Friend in the event the person successfully creates a DraftKings Account after clicking on your Link and successfully completes the Committed Action(s). All Links are available and detailed on the Program Site. In the event a person signs up without using a Link, that person is not a Referred Friend, and you will not be entitled to a Reward.


DraftKings reserves the right to reject or revoke the registration of a person that clicks a Link for any reason or no reason, in its sole discretion. DraftKings will use reasonable efforts to track the number of Referred Friends generated by your Links, however, DraftKings shall not be responsible for and you shall not be entitled to any Casino Rewards, DFS Rewards, or SB Rewards for any Referred Friends generated through fraudulent, misleading, or inaccurate referrals or any referred person who clicks your Link but cannot be tracked by DraftKings for any reason, including, without limitation, improperly formatted Links or the referred person’s Internet browser not accepting DraftKings tracking cookie.


A person will not be considered a Referred Friend in the event the person clicking your Link cannot be tracked by DraftKings. You acknowledge and accept that other Players use Links and that prior to clicking on your Link, a referred person may have clicked the Link of another Player, and that you shall only receive the applicable Reward for the Referred Friend in the event the Referred Friend successfully creates their DraftKings Account through your Link.


DraftKings records with respect to who is a Referred Friend and who gets the Reward for that Referred Friend shall be final and binding.

DraftKings is not liable for any computer or program malfunctions or errors in Rewards. DraftKings reserves the right to exclude certain customers from the Program, as well as the right to withhold the Reward in the event DraftKings in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, suspects any actions related to the Referred Friend or Reward are fraudulent or, at DraftKings' sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, DraftKings determines that your or the Referred Friend’s actions are in violation of the Terms or TOU, including, without limitation, sharing account credentials with other individuals, placing contest entries or wagers on behalf of other individuals, circumventing DraftKings age and location verification procedures, and/or abusing the Website or Program in any way.


The Reward you receive for a Referred Friend is based on the Link the Referred Friend used when directed to the Site and the specific DraftKings product such Link was associated with. For example, in the event a person clicks your Link associated with daily fantasy sports, but then completes the Committed Action(s) associated with a sportsbook Program promotion, you will receive a DFS Reward. However, in the event a Program promotion provides bonuses or rewards to your Referred Friend as well, the Referred Friend will receive the Reward, in the event any, based on the DraftKings product the Referred Friend completed their Committed Action(s), regardless of the DraftKings product associated with the Link the Referred Friend used. You shall only be eligible for one (1) Reward per Referred Friend. For clarity, to be deemed a Referred Friend, the person must not have or ever had an account of any type with DraftKings.
