DraftKings have introduced DraftKings Sportsbook+, a premium service that takes your betting experience to the next level. Once you subscribe, you receive access to boosted odds.
The downside is that the service is currently available only in New York. If you’re within the state though, it's easy to subscribe and get access to better lines. In this review, we'll discuss the subscription process, and other necessary details to note before enjoying DraftKings Sportsbook+.
If you read our DraftKings review, you'll know that the sportsbook already has several top-notch features. Here are some of its strongest selling points:
DraftKings Sportsbook+ adds to this by offering boosted odds on specific bets, even if they're bonus bets, which increases you potential winnings. Unfortunately, the service currently only available in New York. There's also a monthly subscription fee of $20.
DraftKings Sportsbook+ offers unlimited access to Step Up boost tokens on all parlays and same game parlays (SGPs) and lets you boost their standard lines by up to 100%, this includes bonus bets.
Keep in mind that you can only use the 100% boost for parlay bet types with a maximum of 11 legs, this includes any bonus bets you might have. Also, the highest bet amount when using Step Up tokens is $25.
Boosted odds are obviously a benefit, but there are some downsides to the DraftKings Sportsbook+ service. Here's a list of the pros and cons:
Provided you're in any of the DraftKings legal states, you can easily create an account and enjoy the sportsbook's service. However, to use Sportsbook+, you must be in the state of New York and be at least 21 years old.

You must have a DraftKings account to access Sportsbook+. Similar to getting started on most betting sites, registering on the platform is a walk in the park. Below is a step-by-step guide to signing up at DraftKings:
To use DraftKings, you must download and install the sportsbook app. You do this by visiting your app store, searching for the brand, and tapping the install icon. The download process will take a few minutes.

Manually fill in your details, including your preferred username, password, email address, and phone number. Accept the terms and conditions and tap the "Create Account" icon at the bottom of the registration page.
You'll need to complete KYC verification before you proceed. You do this by submitting documents for two major things: identity verification and address confirmation. For identity verification, you need a government-issued ID card, a driver’s license, or an international passport. To confirm your address, submit a copy or a recent utility bill that clearly displays your name and address.
