What is a free to play Pool?


Free to play Pools  are contests with no entry fee where your picks are placed against the picks of other entrants who have entered that same contest. Each winner’s prize depends on the number of other players in the Pool, and more specifically, the number of entries with equal or better scores based on the number of correct picks.

What are the different types of Pools?

DraftKings offers many free to play Pools that you can enjoy, such as:

Pick’em

You try to pick the correct outcomes from a series of questions about a specific event or a series of events.

Popularity

Your answer will be accepted as correct if it is the most popular answer given for the specific question. If two or more answers tie, they'll all be considered as winners for that question.

Survivor

You will select one team to win over a given period of time. Each team can only be chosen once. The team selected must win in order to survive to the next period of time (for instance in NFL Survivor, a tie counts as a win!).

The last remaining entry at the specified end date wins; if multiple entries survive to the finish, those players split the winnings.

Bracket

You select which teams will advance to the next round and play one another. You decide which teams will advance (and which will not) before the event starts, and the Pool entry locks.

You receive point totals for each correct selection. This allows you to incrementally increase as rounds advance.
