DraftKings NFL Survivor Pool
The 2025 NFL season is rapidly approaching, which means that DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Survivor Pool will begin soon. In this contest, any DraftKings customer participating in a state where DraftKings is legal can enter for a chance to win over $1 million. Entry is $10, but there is a Bet & Get promotion that will essentially make it free!
In the survivor pool, you have to correctly pick an NFL team to win each week. If that team wins (or ties) that week, you advance! If the team you pick in any given week loses, you are eliminated from the contest. You can only select an NFL team to win once per season, so choose wisely!
The winner(s) will be rewarded from the prize pool, which starts at $1 million and grows for each participant. If you are the only winner, you get the entire pool!
How to Play in the DraftKings NFL Survivor Pool
This contest is only available to DraftKings Sportsbook account holders, so head over to DraftKings and create an account if you don't already have one.
DraftKings has multiple NFL Survivor pools for the 2025 season. Each one has different entry fees, payouts, participants, and rules. However, the primary pool is the $10 entry fee with the $1,000,000+ prize pool. The Bet & Get promo yields a ticket for this pool.
Whether it's with your $10 ticket from the Bet & Get promo or with your own $10, once you've found the correct pool, join it.
Each week of the regular season, you must select one team to emerge victorious. If they win (or tie), you will advance and get to pick again the following week. If the team you select loses in the week you pick them, you are eliminated from the contest.
Along with needing to get a pick right every week, you can not choose the same team twice during the season. Once your selected team's game kicks off, it's locked for the week. Choose wisely.
Make it all the way through the regular season without missing a pick, and you'll win the prize! If you are eliminated before the season ends, but all other contestants are eliminated that week as well, you'll split the prize between them.
