Additionally, you may be asked to download geolocation software (desktop) or switch on your location services (smartphone).
Create a username and password, and you are done.

You’ve created an account; now, it’s time to deposit funds. Like other online accounts such as Amazon, Doordash, and Grubhub, you can transfer money from your personal bank account into your DraftKings account. This money is yours, and you can withdraw it at any time, day or night.
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

Of course, all these options are for online sportsbooks. While cash deposits are an option, it is traditionally reserved for retail sportsbooks.

Placing Michigan online bets with DraftKings
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.
