Across the US, all sportsbooks, DraftKings included, offer fast and easy ways to deposit money. Some of the easiest include:

• Credit/debit card
• E-check
• Wire transfer

Once you have your account created and funded, it’s time to start placing bets.

Betting with DraftKings is easy. On the home screen, you can view a list of games for the day. Simply tap on which game you want to bet on, a “bet slip” screen will pop up and ask how much you wish to wager. Enter your amount and select “place bet” at the bottom.

A few traditional bets you can place are:

• Parlay bets
• Moneyline
• Point Spread
• Over/under

Live bets or “in-game wagers” vary depending on the sport. For example, during professional football games, you can place bets on “who will score the next touchdown” or “how many points” will be scored at the end of a specific quarter.
