DraftKings later confirmed the partnership, indicating the project would be dubbed “DK Horse,” a horse racing betting app. It could launch in more than 20 markets by the 2023 Kentucky Derby in May.

The guide below will relay everything we know about DK Horse, including offers, rewards programs, software overview and more.

DK Horse Racebook rewards program

DK Horse will use the DK Crowns rewards program. This program also covers daily fantasy sports, sports betting and online casino play.

You earn DK Crowns as you wager money on the platform. You can convert the Crowns into DK Dollars. The conversion rate is $1 in bonus cash for every 550 Crowns.

Promotions and contests at DK Horse

The promotions and contests for DK Horse are not yet known, but DraftKings typically offers new players a 20% deposit bonus worth up to $1,000. To receive your DK Horse bonus funds, you must wager $25 in cash to redeem $1 in bonus funds. Something similar could apply at DK Horse.

When the DK Horse welcome bonus and ongoing promotions are revealed, we’ll break them down for you.

DK Horse betting software

The software for DK Horse is not yet available, and no details have been released at the time of this writing. Based on the DraftKings Sportsbook, DraftKings Fantasy and DraftKings Casino products, we expect DK Horse to work exceptionally well on desktop and mobile. We also anticipate the DK HORSE app will be available for both iOS and Android devices.

As mentioned, no details have been confirmed about the mobile app, so it’s difficult to speculate regarding its appearance or operation.

In looking at the sportsbook app, there’s an account icon in the upper left-hand corner of the app that you can click on to open a menu. This menu has links to withdraw funds and information about the rewards program and help center.

There’s also a menu along the bottom of the app that links back to the homepage, sports and promotions. It wouldn’t be surprising to see something similar at DK Horse.

Watch DK Horse live streaming

Thanks to DK Horse’s partnership with Churchill Downs, it’s safe to assume this betting platform will offer live streaming of select races and tracks. However, we cannot confirm that yet. We will update this section as we learn more about DraftKings’ ability to stream live horse races.

Available races at DK Horse Racebook

In partnership with Churchill Downs Inc., DK Horse will offer races from across the globe as well as prominent US-based races, including:

It’s reasonable to expect more than 150 races.

Bet types at DK Horse

At DK Horse, you’ll participate in pari-mutuel wagers. Pari-mutuel wagers lead to a resulting pool of funds that are then distributed to winners. The types of bets include the following:

Other betting markets at DK Horse

While DK Horse offers horse racing betting exclusively, DraftKings offers you three other types of online gaming—daily fantasy sports, sports betting and online casino play. Let’s briefly break down those offerings.

Statistics and form database

It’s reasonable to assume that DK Horse will offer some form of racing statistics to help bettors make more educated wagers. The question is what exactly will the DK Horse betting platform offer? Will it be included with standard accounts or cost money to access?

When we have answers to these questions, we will update this page.

How to deposit and withdraw at DK Horse

At DK Horse, you can choose from the following deposit and withdrawal methods:

Deposit Methods

Withdrawal methods

At DK Horse, withdrawals are processed during banking hours. You should receive your funds the same day, with a check by mail being the only exception.

Who can legally bet at DK Horse?

Once DK Horse race betting launches, it will need to be legalized on a state-by-state basis. Depending on the state, you’ll need to be at least 21 years of age or, in some cases, 18 or older to register and bet. We’ll update this page when legal states and their age restrictions are announced.

Reasons to choose DK Horse

If you’re looking for a new horse racing betting platform backed by two juggernauts in the industry—Churchill Downs Inc. and DraftKings—DK Horse is the place for you. Here, you can expect a top-notch, lag-free mobile app that’s easy to navigate and numerous bonuses and promotions to make betting at more than 150 tracks all the more enjoyable. Be prepared for DK Horse to become your new favorite way to bet on horse racing.
