How do you claim it? The process is pretty straightforward:
- Click on our exclusive DraftKings Ohio promo code link to download the DraftKings Sportsbook app or visit the DraftKings website.
- When you click on the link or open the app, you’ll want to click on the ‘Sign Me Up’ button.

- Once you finish registering for your new account, make your first deposit (min. $5).
What You Get With Our DraftKings Ohio Promo Code
After making your first deposit, you’ll receive one component of the DraftKings Ohio promo code — a $50 bonus bet. Once you place your first wager (min. $5), you’ll receive another $200 in bonus bets whether your wager wins or loses.
While those will boost your bankroll immediately, the remaining component will take a little more time. DraftKings will match 20% of your first deposit up to $1,000. So, if you want the maximum bonus of $1,000, you will need to deposit $5,000, but a $1,000 deposit would be matched $200, a $500 deposit $100, and so on.
It’s important to know that the deposit match comes with a 25x playthrough requirement, meaning to withdraw $1 of the bonus, you’ll need to bet $25.

DraftKings Ohio Promo Code and Bengals NFL Playoffs Odds
Now that sports betting has launched in Ohio, football fans wanting to put money on the local team, the Cincinnati Bengals, can do just that. The Bengals have made it to the AFC Conference Championship Game for the second consecutive season.
Here are odds from top sportsbook apps for the AFC title game, with a link to activate the DraftKings Ohio promo code:
NFL · Sun (1/29) @ 6:40pm ET
| CIN Bengals | at | KC Chiefs |
| GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO | ||
The Chiefs opened as favorites, but the line quickly moved in favor of the Bengals because of the uncertain status of Patrick Mahomes.
Joe Burrow is 3-0 against Mahomes and the Chiefs, including a 27-24 win in last year’s AFC title game, and the Bengals enter the game playing their best football of the season.
Meanwhile, Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain in Saturday’s game against the Jaguars. He has stated that he’ll be fine and ready to play. But high ankle sprains often take 4-6 weeks to recover from and possibly longer. Players have played within 1-3 weeks of the injury, but Mahomes’ status will be monitored by the betting market as kickoff approaches.
Betting Analysis
Even if Mahomes were 100 percent, the Bengals mat still have the advantage in this game, as they are peaking at the perfect time. As well as the Bengals are playing on both sides of the ball, Kansas City needs to be at full strength to be competitive — but that will probably not be the case.
As long as the Bengals don’t revert to that error-prone team that committed five turnovers against the Steelers in Week 1, they should be able to take down the Chiefs in Kansas City again.
Our Pick: Bengals -1.5
Ohio’s Sports Betting Undercard: NBA on Wednesday Night
The NFL may be taking center stage in the minds of many bettors right now, but they are not the only game in town.
The NBA season is in full swing, with games on every night. While it may be a stretch to say the Cavaliers can win the East, they are shaping up to make the playoffs for the first time since the Warriors swept them in the 2018 NBA Finals.
While the Cavs are back in action Friday night in Oklahoma City, ESPN has an NBA doubleheader for bettors to sink their teeth into Wednesday night:
Nets (29-17 SU, 22-23-1 ATS) vs. 76ers (30-16 SU, 26-19-1 ATS)
With Kevin Durant sidelined, the 76ers are solid favorites at home.
NBA · Wed (1/25) @ 7:40pm ET
| BKN Nets | at | PHI 76ers |
| Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA | ||
Brooklyn had the hot hand for a few weeks when the roster was healthy. But with Durant out of the lineup, the team has struggled. They’ve gone 2-4 SU and ATS without Durant; the Over is 1-4-1 in those games. However, they were underdogs in their last two games, both wins.
As for the 76ers, they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. They enter the game riding a five-game winning streak and have gone 8-2 SU and ATS in their last ten games. They are on an 8-2 run to the Over, the best mark in the NBA during that span.
Our Pick: 76ers
Philadelphia is clicking on both ends of the court lately, while Brooklyn has taken up residence on the metaphorical struggle bus. There is no reason to think the Nets will turn things around against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
Grizzlies (31-16 SU, 22-23-2 ATS) vs. Warriors (23-24 SU, 22-24-1)
The defending champion Warriors are short favorites at home against Memphis, owners of one of the second-best records in the West.
NBA · Wed (1/25) @ 10:10pm ET
| MEM Grizzlies | at | GS Warriors |
| Chase Center, San Francisco, CA | ||
Memphis has gone from being the hottest team in the league while riding an 11-game winning streak to ice-cold on their current road trip, losing three in a row (0-3 SU and ATS; Over is 0-3). They were competitive in the first two defeats, losing by a point to the Lakers and by two to the Suns. But it got ugly with Ja Morant and Steven Adams out with injuries in a 133-100 loss to the Kings on Monday night.
It is unclear if the team’s two stars will be in the lineup on Wednesday night. But even if they are, the Grizzlies are one of the worst road teams in the NBA this season (11-13 SU, 8-15-1 ATS). Golden State, however, has been one of the stronger home teams this season (17-6 SU, 14-8-1 ATS).
Our Pick: Warriors
It may seem strange to go with a team struggling to break .500 against one of the best teams in the Western Conference. But the Warriors play their best at home while the Grizzlies struggle on the road.
Blue Jackets Also on Tap This Week for Ohio Bettors
The Columbus Blue Jackets have three games remaining this week, beginning tonight at the Edmonton Oilers. Columbus is a healthy underdog.
NHL · Wed (1/25) @ 9:30pm ET
| CBJ Blue Jackets | at | EDM Oilers |
| Rogers Place, Edmonton, Alberta | ||
It has not been a great season for the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets, 14-30 (worst record in the East), and it is hard to see it getting better Wednesday night against a solid Edmonton Oilers team (27-18) playing on their home ice. However, both teams are among the NHL’s best when it comes to the Over (Oilers—31-14-3; Blue Jackets—26-21).
In their last ten games for each team, the Over has gone 7-3 (Blue Jackets) and 7-2-1 (Oilers).
Our Pick: Over
