DraftKings accepts all major credit/debit cards including Visa and MasterCard
**You may only deposit funds into your DraftKings account with a payment method registered in your name**
Any user that wishes to have their deposit limit increased must send images of the following to support@draftkings.com:
Go to your My Account page, click on “Withdrawal” on the left hand side of the page and follow the instructions to submit your request!
Withdrawal requests must first be approved by DraftKings, after which they will be credited to the same credit/debit card or method of payment used to deposit money onto the Website dating back three months in chronological order. Users can only withdraw to a different credit/debit card or payment method not already used to make a deposit after the total amount of the previous deposit has already been released to the credit/debit card(s) or payment method(s) used for the deposit(s).
*In the event that you have cancelled your credit/debit card used to deposit on DraftKings, contact our customer service team before requesting to withdraw funds.
Our Accounting Department processes withdrawals Monday - Friday from 9 AM-5 PM. Any withdrawal requests that come in after 5 PM on Friday will be processed in the order that they were received, starting the following Monday. Once our Accounting Department processes your withdrawal request (you'll receive a confirmation email), it typically takes anywhere from two-to-eight business days for your funds to appear in your account. If you request a cheque it can take two-to-three weeks for delivery.
Your deposit bonus will be released in increments of £1 for every 100 Frequent Player Points (FPP’s) that you have earned. FPP’s are accrued when taking part in any paid contest on DraftKings. You don’t receive FPP’s when playing free contests. You can’t directly access your deposit bonus to enter contests. You must release it £1.00 at a time by participating in our contests. The deposit bonus is a rewards-based scheme that encourages users to play frequently in our contests.
Frequent Player Points (FPPs) are points you earn upon the start of every paid contest you enter on DraftKings.co.uk, whether you win or lose. FPPs awarded vary per contest type (displayed on the Draft page) and are not earned for playing in FREE ENTRY games. The more contests you join and money you spend, the more FPPs you earn.
All deposit bonuses have a duration of four months from the date of the initial deposit. If your deposit bonus is set to expire before you have been able to use the entire amount, please contact our customer support team.
If you are a UK resident you do not have to pay taxes in the UK on your winnings.

DraftKings employees are not allowed to participate in public contests on the DraftKings site.
We have enlisted the help of a legal team from Greenberg Traurig, led by former United States Attorney John Pappalardo, to conduct a thorough review to help strengthen our existing policies and controls, and ensure a level-playing field.
DraftKings has implemented a policy that prohibits the employees of other DFS sites playing in any DraftKings contests that are open to the public.
DraftKings analysts/pros are contracted media professionals and have no access to any DraftKings data systems. Because of this, they can still play on the site.
DraftKings has implemented a policy permanently prohibiting all DraftKings employees from participating in public contests on other DFS sites.
We will take strong and immediate action based on the specific circumstances. We currently have no evidence that this has occurred.

Company Commitment to Responsible Gambling
DraftKings is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience to all our customers. Playing online fantasy sports is an entertainment activity, undertaken without problems by the vast majority of our customers. However we accept that a small number of our customers may sometimes lose control of their play. This can cause them personal and/or financial problems, and can harm those close to them.
We acknowledge our duty to our customers and are committed to promoting safeguards to help them to enjoy the game responsibly; and we seek to protect the vulnerable amongst them. Whilst the responsibility for our customers' playing habits is their own, we are accountable to provide our product in a socially responsible manner.
As a conscientious company we have prepared guidance on how to play responsibly and we recommend it is read by all customers.
