Daily fantasy sports enthusiasts looking for new options can explore PrizePicks, a platform currently offering a promotion where users who play $5 or more receive $50 in bonus funds. As reported by CBS Sports Headlines, the DFS app operates legally in 45 states and Washington D.C., providing various contest formats and features for players.
Sign-Up Offer and Platform Requirements
No specific promo code is required to claim the current welcome offer, though users must be of legal age in a state where the platform operates. Minimum age requirements vary by location: most users must be at least 18, while those in Alabama and Colorado must be 19, and users in Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, and Massachusetts must be 21. To sign up, users visit the platform’s website, enable location services, enter their details, make a deposit of at least $10, and submit an initial lineup of $5 or more to receive the $50 in promo funds. Other DFS platforms also feature new user deals, such as Underdog’s offer of $50 in bonus entries after a $10 play, and Dabble’s offer of $20 in bonus cash following a $10 play.
Contest Formats and Gameplay
PrizePicks features three primary contest types depending on the user’s location. Pick ‘Em is available in 19 states and Washington D.C., allowing users to select two to six player statistics and predict whether a player will record “More” or “Less” than the listed figure. Users can submit entries as a Flex Play, where incorrect picks still yield a payout starting from two correct selections, or a Power Play, which requires all selections to be correct. Pick ‘Em Arena is available in 17 states and follows a similar structure, but user entries are automatically placed into groups based on submission time, skill level, and pick count to compete for extra prizes. Additionally, Streak is a free-to-play option available in 10 states where users make daily predictions to build consecutive wins and unlock cash prizes up to $1 million. The platform generally processes payouts within 30 minutes after a contest settles.
Promotions for Existing Users and Reboots
Regular promotions include Taco Tuesday, where several player projections are discounted by 15 to 25 percent, and Flex Friday, which lets users opt in by noon ET to protect a flex play lineup from total loss using promotional funds if it falls short. Referral bonuses can be earned up to 10 times every 30 days when invited users sign up and deposit funds. Furthermore, reboots occur when a player unexpectedly exits a game early, such as leaving in the first half of an NFL, NBA, WNBA, or college basketball contest and not returning, which voids that specific selection while keeping the rest of the entry active.
App Experience, Support, and Banking
The mobile app holds high ratings, with 4.7 stars across 511,000 reviews on Apple devices and 4.4 stars across 76,000 reviews on Android. Responsible gaming resources are accessible via the app or website, including self-exclusion tools and age-based deposit limits automatically applied to users under 21. Customer support stands out with a 24/7 live chat feature, alongside an email address for disputes. Banking methods support deposits through PayPal, Venmo, bank accounts, credit or debit cards, and Apple Pay, though state-level restrictions apply to certain options like Discover cards or peer-to-peer services. Withdrawals require a minimum amount of $10 and must clear a strict one-time playthrough requirement on all deposited funds before any money can be taken out.
Tax reporting applies when a user’s winnings exceed $600, resulting in a 1099-MISC form issued by the company, and users must provide identification details like a Social Security number for identity verification.
