What are Progressive Parlays?
Similar to a traditional parlay, you choose multiple selections—also known as legs—for a single wager when you place a Progressive Parlay. The main difference is the margin for error—a Progressive Parlay can still pay out even if every leg in your wager doesn’t win.
- The number of legs that can settle as a loss and still result in a payout depends on the total number of legs in the Progressive Parlay. Keep in mind, legs that settle as a push are also considered a losing leg.
- More legs in your Progressive Parlay means more potential winnings and more losing legs allowed. For the full breakdown, check out the two tables at the bottom of this page.
- Please note, at this time Progressive Parlays are not available in Arizona or Pennsylvania.
Progressive Parlay Requirements:
- Minimum of three (3) legs in your wager
- Maximum of twelve (12) legs in your wager
- Individual players may not be selected more than once
- Maximum of 3 selections from a single game
- Except for our "Bet and Get" promos, promotional offers cannot be used to place a Progressive Parlay
- Bonus Bets cannot be used to place a Progressive Parlay
- Legs that settle as a push are considered a loss
How to place Progressive Parlay:
1. Log in to your DraftKings Sportsbook account on your mobile device
2. Navigate to the NFL, MLB, NBA, College Basketball*, or College Football* league page.
3. At the top of the page, select Progressive Parlay.
4. Add at least 3 legs to your bet slip.
5. Enter a wager amount and place your bet.
We’ll walk you through an example in the video below:
Voided Progressive Parlay Selections
If a player in your leg doesn't participate in an event, that individual selection will settle as void, and we’ll remove it from your Progressive Parlay. When that happens, your Progressive Parlay will be recalculated to reflect the remaining legs. If the number of voided legs results in less than three (3) legs in the Progressive Parlay, then the whole Progressive Parlay will be settled as void.
Here’s an example: A Progressive Parlay is placed with four (4) legs. One (1) of the legs was voided and there are no losing legs. The wager would become a three (3) leg Progressive Parlay.
