DraftKings Casino Is Offering $200 Free For 24 Hours in PA

DraftKings launched its online casino in PA today, and it’s giving new customers $200 free for their first 24 hours of play.
DraftKings Casino, which lives inside the DraftKings PA app, offers online slots, Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and video poker. On Friday, it became the latest PA online casino. And if its success in New Jersey is any indication, it may immediately shoot to the top of the list.
Online casino gaming has seen a surge in popularity recently, and DraftKings is looking to capitalize on that wave by offering new players $200 risk-free for 24 hours.
This means that new users who sign up here can make a deposit, which comes with an up to $500 match, and then wager $200 over their first 24 hours playing without worrying about losing.
No promo code is required.
A Different Kind of Bonus
Typically, online casinos offer one of two signup bonuses: a free bet with no deposit, or a deposit match of some sort. Risk-free bets are typically reserved for online sportsbooks– a single wager without risk.
DraftKings Casino in PA is adding a unique wrinkle to this by allowing its casino players to experience the app for a full 24 hours. Users can space out the $200 of bets on a single hand or across multiple games.
Unlike sports betting, where the experience is largely the same and differs only by sports or bet type, online casinos, such as DraftKings, offer a wide range of experiences.
From 88 Fortunes slot to Blackjack, each game is different, and thus DraftKings has decided to give players a way to experience everything at their own pace.
Spend all $200 in Baccarat? Cool. Spend $12 at 10 different slots and than $80 on Blackjack? Have at it.
Sports Themed Games in DraftKings PA Casino
DraftKings Casino audience skews younger. Whereas other online casinos in Pennsylvania cater to an older demographic, DraftKings wants to win over a younger, male demo.
They attempt to do this with sports-themed table games: Baseball Blackjack, Basketball Blackjack, Football Blackjack, and so on.
There is nothing inherently special or different about these games, but they give off a younger appeal than a traditional green velvet usually seen in casinos.
What’s more, in New Jersey, DraftKings Casino offers live dealer Blackjack in its own branded studios. Dealers wear DraftKings garb, and the plan is to put sports on in the background.
Again, nothing hugely different in terms of play, but it’s a much younger vibe.
DraftKings is expected to bring live dealer games to PA once the PGCB allows it.
For now, new users in Pennsylvania can sign up for DraftKings Casino here and get $200 free over their first 24 hours of play.
