How To Play DraftKings Survivor Pool

This is sort of a brilliant contest from DraftKings.

Each NCAA Tournament game day through the Elite Eight, you will pick one team to advance. If your team wins, you keep going.

Starting with the Elite Eight, you’ll be able to pick one team per round.

Sounds easy enough, right?

Not so fast.

As with most survivor pools, you can only pick each team once. So while it may seem like a no-brainer to take a team like Kentucky or Villanova in the first round, know that you won’t be able to use them later in the tournament.

This will force you to select lower seeds early on and save the favorites toward the end.

If you find yourself in a situation in, say, the Final Four where you run out of teams to pick, well then your run is over in DraftKings’ survivor pool.

Prizes

The prize for DraftKings March Mania Survival Pool is $250,000 split among all remaining entrants at the end of the tournament. If one player wins, they get the whole pot. If multiple players win, then it is split evenly.

And then there’s the college student loan debt DraftKings is willing to pay.

This comes directly from DraftKings:

Opt-in to our Survivor Pool sweetener and you could be one of four random college grads to have a bite taken out of their student debt.That’s up to $100,000. That’s right, we’re adding to the madness. This is the land of the free, so see ya, debt.

That is the first time we’ve even seen something like this from an online sportsbook.

So, really a no-brainer here to get in on the DraftKings survivor pool. You can sign up here.
