DraftKings has a great promotion for all customers just in time for the start of the 2025 NFL season. With Week 1 taking place this weekend, we want you to know all about this awesome feature that DraftKings has added just in time for Sunday NFL Week 1 betting, and providing another reason why DraftKings is one of the best US sports betting sites.

With the DraftKings Ghost Leg promotion, if you opt in to the promotion and then make a parlay, same game parlay (SGP), or same game parlay extra (SGPx) for Sunday NFL Week 1 or Week 2 games, and one leg of your parlay loses, DraftKings will “ghost” the losing leg for purposes of your wager, leaving your winning legs to be paid out instead.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, over 30 million parlays were lost by just one leg last season, making this an amazing promotion for Sunday NFL Week 1 betting. The Ghost Leg promo will also apply to Sunday NFL Week 2 betting, giving you two weeks to take advantage of this incredible feature at DraftKings.

How Does The DraftKings Ghost Leg Promo Work?

Here’s how the DraftKings Ghost Leg promo works. Note that all customers, both new and existing users, are eligible for this promotion.

Opt-in to the promotion and then place a wager on either a pre-game or live parlay, same game parlay (SGP), or same game parlay extra (SGPx) at DraftKings on any Sunday NFL Week 1 or Week 2 games, and select the Ghost Leg Token in your betslip before you place your bet.

You must wager on at least three legs, and all the legs must be -500 or longer NFL odds (i.e., -300, +300). If one leg of your parlay loses, DraftKings will “ghost” the losing leg and pay out your remaining legs instead.

Keep in mind that maximum betting limits for your stake apply to this promotion, and the maximum total bet odds of +20,000 apply to the parlay you make.

Here’s an example of how the DraftKings Ghost Leg promo works for NFL Week 1

Let’s make a three-team parlay featuring three NFL teams to win on the moneyline to show you how it works.

• Leg 1: Cincinnati Bengals -250
• Leg 2: Arizona Cardinals -298
• Leg 3: Washington Commanders -258

Let’s say the Bengals and Cardinals both win their games, and you just need the Commanders to win, but they end up losing the game. Normally, you would be frustrated since you were just one leg away from winning your wager.

But with the DraftKings Ghost Leg promo, your losing leg on the Commanders would be “ghosted”, and your parlay would instead be paid out as a win for the Bengals and Cardinals legs both winning.

That’s the beauty of the DraftKings Ghost Leg promo, and why you need to take advantage of this amazing deal in time for NFL Week 1.
