DraftKings Terms of Use

DraftKings sets out who can use its platform, what conduct is prohibited, and what happens to your money. All payments are final with no refunds, and if you charge back any deposit, DraftKings will forfeit all associated winnings. The terms can be changed at any time without notice, and any disputes must be resolved in Massachusetts courts without a jury.

DraftKings' Terms of Use establish the conditions under which users may access and participate in its fantasy sports contests, including eligibility requirements based on age, geographic location, and professional affiliation. The document imposes a no-refunds policy on all payments and a chargeback consequence that invalidates and forfeits any associated contest winnings. Users are broadly prohibited from automated platform interactions, collusion, and syndicate play, and are bound by a mandatory exclusive forum in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, with a mutual jury-trial waiver. DraftKings reserves the right to amend the Terms at any time without notice, with continued use constituting acceptance.

Users must meet age thresholds — at least 18 by default, 19 in Nebraska and Alabama, or 21 in Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Virginia — and must be physically located in an eligible U.S. state, excluding Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and certain Louisiana parishes. All payments are final, and a chargeback on any deposit causes DraftKings to invalidate and deduct all contest winnings from the account. Athletes, coaches, team staff, officials, sports agents, and their immediate family members are barred from entering contests associated with their sport. Any user who believes they may fall into a restricted category — by location, age, or professional affiliation — should confirm their eligibility before depositing funds, as DraftKings establishes no refund mechanism for ineligible participants.
