DraftKings Promo Code Offers $200 in Bonus Bets for Iowa-Iowa State Showdown
Iowa football fans have a new reason to get in on the action this Saturday. DraftKings is offering new users $200 in bonus bets after a minimum $5 wager, just in time for the Hawkeyes' clash with Iowa State for the Cy-Hawk Trophy.
The offer requires no special code, but users must be of legal age in a state where DraftKings operates and must be new to the platform. The bonus bets arrive as two $25 credits every seven days over 21 days, each valid for seven days after receipt.
How to claim the DraftKings bonus bet offer
New users can sign up directly through the DraftKings Sportsbook app or website. After creating an account and placing a qualifying $5 bet, the bonus bets will be delivered on the schedule outlined above. Payouts from bonus bets go to the user's cash balance, though the bonus bet stake itself holds no cash value.
For full terms and conditions, users should review DraftKings' official promotional materials before claiming.
Iowa vs. Iowa State: Cy-Hawk Trophy on the line
The Hawkeyes enter Saturday's matchup as 14-point home favorites, with the over/under set at 40.5 points. Iowa dominated Northern Illinois 40-0 last week, while Iowa State beat Southeast Missouri State 38-10.
This year's game carries extra intrigue. Iowa State coach Matt Campbell departed for Penn State in the offseason, and new coach Jimmy Rogers will face the Hawkeyes for the first time. The Cyclones have captured the Cy-Hawk Trophy in each of the last two seasons, making this a critical test for both programs.
Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday in Iowa City, with the game carrying significant implications for both teams' early-season momentum.
