Multiple Accounts
1 player = 1 account
Each player is permitted to have only one account. DraftKings uses modern data science techniques and other tools to uphold the 1 player, 1 account requirement.
Learn about the one account per player requirement in the Terms of Use.
Individual, Not Team Accomplishments
Always compete against the field
We monitor contests for unpermitted behaviors. For example, players that try to avoid direct competition by leveraging contest entries of multiple accounts might land in the sin bin!
Learn about permitted and unpermitted behaviors in the Community Guidelines.
Automated Tools
DraftKings players are
humans, not bots!
The use of automation tools such as browser scripts or bots is prohibited.

DraftKings and its Employees are not your Competition
Fantasy contests are for competing against other DraftKings customers
DraftKings serves as a neutral operator and does not have a stake in the outcome of any fantasy contest. Whether you are surfing the lobby to enter a contest or participating in Reignmakers, you don’t have to worry about going up against DraftKings employees. When you enter a public contest, it’s just you vs. other customers.
