WHY WE HOLD UP

The Details Behind the Account You're Signing Into

We don't ask you to take the platform on faith. Here are the specific practices that keep your account, your money, and your data handled the way they should be. Every item below is something you can verify through your account settings or by contacting support directly.

State-by-state access We operate only in states where sports betting and gaming are authorized. Your account is geo-checked at login so you're always in a permitted zone.
Identity verified once Standard SSN and government ID check happens at account creation. That single verification covers both withdrawals and high-limit deposits going forward.
Encrypted wallet layer Your PayPal, Venmo, and Play+ connections are stored behind SSL encryption. We don't retain full card numbers or bank credentials on our servers.
Withdrawal path clarity Withdrawals route back to the same method you deposited with — PayPal back to PayPal, Venmo back to Venmo. No surprise third-party transfers.

What draftkings Is and How It Works

We built draftkings around one core idea: your betting account should keep up with you, not slow you down. Whether you're pulling up a Cowboys moneyline from the parking lot or checking a live NBA parlay from the couch, the experience is the same — fast load, same wallet, no re-login headaches. Deposits through PayPal, Venmo, or your Play+ prepaid card land

in your account so you can move without waiting. Your account ties together the sportsbook, casino lobby, and wallet in one place, so switching between an NFL spread and a Crash Cash Ladder session takes seconds, not steps. We operate where state law permits. If you're in Las Vegas or another eligible state, your account is verified once and ready to go.

Identity checks happen at account creation — standard SSN and ID verification — so withdrawals aren't held up by additional steps later. We aim to make every part of the account flow as short as possible, because the game isn't going to wait.

We accept PayPal, Venmo, Play+ prepaid card, online banking transfers, and debit cards. All three mobile-friendly options — PayPal, Venmo, Play+ — appear in your wallet once your account is verified.

At account creation, you provide your SSN and a government-issued ID. Verification is a one-time step. Once cleared, your account is set for both deposits and withdrawals without additional checks.

Yes. Your account and wallet carry across the native app and the mobile browser without re-logging in. Session continuity means your open bets and balance are the same on either device.

The sportsbook covers NFL football, NBA basketball, MLB baseball, and NHL hockey as primary markets, plus same-game parlays and player props. College football markets are available where state law permits.

Withdrawals route to the same method used for your deposit. A PayPal deposit means your cash-out goes back to that PayPal account. There's no redirection to unconnected third-party payment services.
