DraftKings Tennessee: Website and usability

Upon entering the DraftKings website, you’ll see all the upcoming contests in detail. The featured events are automatically selected, while the lower menu bar allows you to filter the action, sport by sport.

The early days of DraftKings saw a concentration on the major leagues, while today, the selection is wide-ranging across many sports.

When you click on a specific sport, you’ll find a long list of related events. Then, you can filter these using the column on the left-hand side. By entering a range of entry fees and the event type, you’ll only see a smaller, more manageable list.

You can click on any of the events to see a pop-up that details everything you need to know about the contest.

The “Contest Details” tab tells you who the current contestants are, a breakdown of the prize pool and exactly how much you’ll win for every position.

The “Rules and Scoring” will tell you exactly how you (or your selected players) will earn those all-important points.

If you like what you see, you can go ahead and enter a contest by clicking on “Draft Team.”

You’re now into the nitty-gritty of the site, where you’ll assemble your squad. You see a list of the available players along with some info regarding previous performances. Clicking on any player will bring up a page of detailed information, which is perfect for those stat-lovers out there.

DraftKings: Countdown to the next contest

A clock in the top right-hand corner has a countdown telling you exactly when the contest will go live. Be aware of this if you’re entering the contest late.

Having entered a contest, you can track your progress using the menu bar at the top of the page.

Here, you can check your lineups before the contest goes live, your contests and any leagues.

The menu bar also features DraftKings’ rewards and promos.

Types of contests at DraftKings DFS in Tennessee

You’ll find a range of tournament types available, where you could find yourself up against a single opponent or thousands. Here is a breakdown of the type of events you can enter:

Events available

• Tournaments: A tournament will set you up against many other players (the maximum number of players in any tournament is listed). The prize pool will be awarded to a percentage of the field, with the major prizes awarded at the very top end. Tournaments are ideal for those players who enjoy the opportunity of winning a big prize for a relatively small outlay in comparison.
• 50/50s: These run in the same way as the standard tournaments except for the prizes. When you enter these events, your aim is simply to finish in the top 50%, where you’ll double your initial outlay. If you finish first, or anywhere in the top 50%, you’ll receive the same prize.
• Head-to-Heads: Enter a head-to-head contest and you’ll find yourself in a one-on-one contest. You can enter these against friends or set your challenge (choose your buy-in, sport, event and challenge someone to take you on).
• Satellites and Qualifiers: These are tournaments where instead of winning a cash prize, you’ll earn yourself entry into another (bigger) tournament. Playing a qualifier can be the perfect way to enter a big-money event without spending that big money.
• Leagues: Players will have the option to form leagues with friends, while other leagues are open to anyone. These act in the same way as the tournaments, although they are usually smaller in size. There are options to have ongoing leagues that take place on a regular basis.
• Multiples Tournaments: Similar to the 50/50 format, you might find an event where a third of the field will win a prize of 33% of the total prize fund, along with other similar contests.

DraftKings Sportsbook

Currently, DraftKings Sportsbook is only accessible in New Jersey, but the site will likely be available in Tennessee in the near future.

We anticipate that the Tennessee site will operate in the same way as the New Jersey offers, so here is a preview of what you can expect.

Unlike DFS, where you are competing against other players to gain the most points, at the sportsbook you’ll be playing directly against the house.

Traditional popular bets such as moneylines, point spreads and totals are available, alongside bets such as parlays and futures.

Range of bets at DraftKings Sportsbook

At DraftKings, you’ll find the most common bets that you would find at a sportsbook in Las Vegas.

Here’s a rundown of some of the most popular wagers:

• Moneyline: Place a bet on a team or player to win the event.
• Point Spread: The underdog is given a point boost. Which side will beat the spread?
• Totals: Predict whether the total game points or goals is over/under a given total.
• Parlays: Pick a series of selections and they all must win. The wager is good if you like the chance to win big for a small stake.
• Teasers: A type of parlay where the spreads can move around in favor of one side or the other.
• Prop Bets: These are bets on individual events within a game, e.g., a single player’s performance in an event.
• Period Bets: Wager on the score in an individual quarter/half/period.
• Futures: Long-term bets on an entire season, e.g., bets made on the winners of the Super Bowl or NBA championship winners early in the season.

The live, in-play betting at DraftKings allows you to bet on a game while it is happening. In-play betting is a fast-paced and popular form of betting, ideal if you are watching the action unfold.

DraftKings Sportsbook layout and usability

On the homepage of DraftKings Sportsbook, you’ll find a selection of the biggest upcoming events.

The upper menu bar takes you to your bets, live betting and promotions, as well as betting pools, the casino and flash bets (where you can place point-by-point wagers in sports like tennis).

In the top right-hand corner of the page, you can opt to choose your favorite odds format: decimal, fractional or the default American option.

Banking options at DraftKings Tennessee

With DraftKings being fully regulated within Tennessee, there are few restrictions on deposit methods.

You can use debit and credit cards to fund your account, with Visa, Mastercard and Discover all popular options.

PayPal is also a good option, especially if you’re a player who likes to keep your DFS account and your bank account apart. However, PayPal does charge a small fee.

Due to the know your customer (KYC) regulations in place, you will have to provide ID when making a deposit if DraftKings is unable to verify your identity via your Social Security number.

KYC rules are in place to prevent money laundering, as well as ensuring minors don’t have access to the site.

Withdrawals from DraftKings can take place through PayPal or via a bank transfer.
