INVITATION OPTIONS

In order for a person to become a Referred Friend, the person must first click a Link. A person that clicks your Link will only be deemed a Referred Friend in the event the person successfully creates a DraftKings account after clicking on your Link and successfully completes the Committed Action(s). You can request your Link on the Program Site. In the event a person creates a DraftKings account without using a Link, that person is not a Referred Friend, and you will not be entitled to a Reward. You acknowledge and accept that other Players use Links, that a referred person may have clicked the Link of another Player, and that you shall only receive the applicable Reward for the Referred Friend in the event the Referred Friend successfully creates a DraftKings account and completes the Committed Action(s) through your Link. In the event a person clicks your Link but does not create a DraftKings account and complete the Committed Actions(s) through your Link, including, but not limited to, clicking another Player’s Link before completing the Committed Action(s), refreshing the webpage your Link directed them to before creating a DraftKings account or completing the Committed Action(s), or otherwise leaving the webpage your Link directed them to before creating a DraftKings account or completing the Committed Action(s), such person is not a Referred Friend, and you will not be entitled to a Reward, even if the person later creates a DraftKings account and completes the Committed Action(s)

 

DraftKings reserves the right to refuse to open a DraftKings account for a person that clicks a Link, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason. DraftKings will use reasonable efforts to track the number of Referred Friends generated by your Links, however, DraftKings shall not be responsible for, and you shall not be entitled to, any Rewards for any Referred Friends who click your Link but cannot be tracked by DraftKings for any reason, including, without limitation, improperly formatted Links or the referred person’s Internet browser not accepting DraftKings tracking cookie. DraftKings records with respect to who is a Referred Friend and who gets the Reward for that Referred Friend shall be final and binding.

 

DraftKings is not liable for any computer or program malfunctions or errors in Rewards. DraftKings reserves the right to withhold the Reward in the event DraftKings, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason, suspects: (i) any actions related to the Referred Friend or Reward are fraudulent, misleading, or inaccurate or (ii) you or the Referred Friend is in violation of the Terms, Promotional Terms, or TOU, including, without limitation, sharing account credentials with other individuals, placing contest entries or wagers on behalf of other individuals, circumventing DraftKings age and location verification procedures, and/or abusing the Platform or Program in any way.

 

Rewards

The Reward you receive for a Referred Friend is based on the Link the Referred Friend used when directed to the Platform and the specific DraftKings product such Link was associated with. For example only, in the event a person clicks your Link associated with daily fantasy sports, but then completes the Committed Action(s) associated with a sportsbook Program promotion, you will receive a DFS Reward. However, in the event a Program promotion provides bonuses or rewards to your Referred Friend as well, the Referred Friend will receive the Reward, in the event any, based on the DraftKings product the Referred Friend completed their Committed Action(s), regardless of the DraftKings product associated with the Link the Referred Friend used. You shall only be eligible for one (1) Reward per Referred Friend. For clarity, to be deemed a Referred Friend, the person must not have or ever had an account of any type with DraftKings.

 

User Obligations When Sending Referral Messages

By participating in the Program, you further agree that when you generate or send any Link and or message related to the Program (by text, email, social media, or other means):

 

  1. Age restrictions: You will not send the Link or message to any individual who is under the legal age in their jurisdiction for participating in the DraftKings product associated with the Link or message;
  2. Restricted jurisdictions: You will not send the Link or message to any individual physically located in a jurisdiction where DraftKings does not offer the DraftKings product associated with the Link or message or does not offer the Program or relevant promotion. For clarity, DraftKings does not offer the Program for online sports book referrals in Massachusetts, and therefore, you will not receive SB Rewards in the event you sent the Link while physically located in Massachusetts or the Referred Friend created their DraftKings account or completed the Committed Actions while they or you were physically located in Massachusetts;
  3. Applicable Law: you will comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the Links and messages you send;
