About the app

This is a fantasy sports app with a difference, as it is a separate product from the regular DraftKings fantasy sports app. It offers a single type of DFS contest - Pick 6 - which is like regular fantasy sports pick ‘em contests with a difference.

As opposed to playing against the house for a payout that is a multiplier of your entry fee, you are competing in a peer-to-peer format. In other words, you are playing directly against other players for a share of the prize pool.

How to play on the DraftKings Pick 6 app

Now that we’ve covered all of the ins and outs of downloading the app and getting started, let’s take a look at the most important part. Below is a step-by-step guide detailing how to play DraftKings Pick 6:

1. Pick 2 - 6 players from two different teams at least (same sport and no player repeats)
2. Select more or less for each player’s stat projection (e.g Lebron James to put up more than 27.5 points)
3. Choose your entry fee (will be spread in $1 increments across multiple contests)
4. Edit your picks or increase your entry fee until the games that your players are involved in start (Optional)
5. Track your progress in the “My Picks” tab in the app while the games are in action
6. Receive your payout if you win

How do the payouts work? 

The DraftKings Pick 6 contests work with a peer-to-peer format, rather than payout multipliers. As we said above, your entry fee is spread across multiple contests, with $1 going to each one. So a $10 entry fee actually gets you 10 x $1 entries, rather than 1 x $10 entry.

Every contest has a fixed prize pool, which is shared among winning players as follows:

• 2-4 pick contests: Only players with all correct picks share the prize pool
• 5-pick contests: Players with 5/5 picks share 8-% of the prize pool, and players with 4/5 correct picks share the remaining 20%
• 6-pick contests: 6/6 shares 70%, 5/6 shares 20% and 4/6 picks share 10%.

The DraftKings Pick 6 app bonuses

There are two DraftKings Pick 6 promo offers currently running on the app for new and existing customers:

• Welcome offer: If your first pick lineup loses, you will get 100% of your entry fee back as “Pick Credits”.

• Refer a friend: With the DraftKings Pick 6 referral bonus, you and your friend can get a 100% deposit match up to $50.

What are Pick Credits?

Both of the bonuses mentioned above are paid to you in the form of “Pick Credits”. These are non-cashable bonus tokens that can be used as entry fees for Pick 6 contests only.

You cannot withdraw them or use them on any other DraftKings apps or products. However, any winnings that you get from Pick Credits entries are yours to keep and withdraw.

DraftKings Pick 6 app - Conclusion

In conclusion, the Pick 6 app is a quality and unique product, the likes of which no other brand is currently offering. It might be a fantasy sports app, but it is a standalone platform that is separate from the regular DK Fantasy app.

Keen to give it a try? All that you need to do now is download the app to your iOS or Android device to get started. Remember that your first lineup is a no sweat one, so you can get your entry fee back if it loses up to $100.
