DraftKings rolls out a fresh promo as the 2026 World Cup kicks off Thursday. New users who stake at least $5 receive $200 in instant bonus bets. SportsLine’s experts have already lined up top picks for the opening doubleheader—Mexico versus South Africa and South Korea versus Czechia—available on the DraftKings sportsbook. The deal aims at fans keen to profit from early tournament action.

SportsLine’s soccer guru Brandt Sutton backs Mexico to win by multiple goals, noting the team’s stingy defence—only two goals conceded in eight matches—and a 5‑1 warm‑up thrashing of Serbia. South Africa arrives winless in five, making the odds (+125) attractive for bettors. Meanwhile, Martin Green favors South Korea on a Tie‑No‑Bet at -120, citing superior firepower. Both picks present value for bettors seeking solid returns.

For the NHL, the Projection Model rates the Game 5 Golden Knights‑Hurricanes clash as Over 6.5 goals at +114, reflecting eight‑goal averages in the first four finals. Combining the three selections into a DraftKings parlay yields +782 odds—risk $100 to win $782. It highlights DraftKings’ aggressive push into sports betting. The promo gives newcomers a cheap way to test these high‑value lines.
