    DraftKings Ripoff Promo

    So tonight they have a “superboost” promo they are advertising at 50% boost. Must bet Purdue M/L and UCLA M/L parlay. They offer odds of +125 for the boost. However, if you simply do a Moneyline parlay it’s pays +119.

    How they hell is this considered a 50% boost?

    They made the imaginary odds reflect the 50% to +150
    $25 max. Both teams lose

    First off, you need to go to the promo section and opt in to the correct boost. Then it should direct you to the college basketball area. Then you need to scroll all the way to the right with the arrows near the top where the player props and such are. Find the DK Specials and click on it. Should get you your boost. Mine is giving me +190 odds but only a $25 max play but others could have a different number to bet with.

    Forgot to say click on yes to the UCLA and Purdue to win and it should automatically boost it for you in the betslip area.

    It was 190 odds no matter what line you got, not a 50% boost. You had to go to specials to get it.

    Yes, I know all of that, have done this many times. It gives me one option at +125, that’s it

    Mine specifically said get your odds boosted by 50%

    I emailed DK and they said the +125 was set earlier in the day, so maybe the moneylines came down during the day and therefore it was 50% earlier in the day but later on it wasn’t because of the line movement

    Thats odd because mine said 190 all day and go to specials. If its a boost you should just pick the lines and it gives you an option for the boost with a max

    It’s strange, that’s for sure. Maybe different in each state?

    I've noticed sometimes you have to "refresh" the page to get odds boosts and the like to show. Maybe it was one of those times?

    Not that either, I tried. DK also sent me the link directly to it and it was still +125

    That's strange. I really don't know what else it could be. I've never had any issues with stuff like that. I was genuinely trying to help you. Maybe ask them and see what the problem was? And not to rub it, but yes I'm "on it", the promo that is.

    i had something similar with an NHL 50% profit boost on any bet. i accepted it and it has yet to appear for me to take and use it. been like that for 3 days now.

    if DK sees this step your game up. your bonuses should update automatically without us refreshing. and in this case, similar to joe, i don't even get the boost to use.

    not at all. if you win on a boost it is yours.

    even when they give a deposit bonus it is only 1 x roll (when i get them).

    I often have to refresh a time or two before boosts load.
