Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal step into tonight’s World Cup knockout match against Croatia with a spotlight that stretches beyond the pitch—right to the way people are wagering on the game.
DraftKings is pitching a welcome offer aimed at first-time customers: no promo code is required. A bettor only needs to place a $5 wager to receive an instant $200 bonus. There’s no requirement to win the bet, and there’s no odds limit attached to the offer.
The bonus doesn’t arrive as cash or a free-for-all balance. DraftKings says the $200 is delivered instantly after the bet is placed, broken into eight separate $25 bonus tokens. Those tokens can’t be withdrawn and expire after seven days.
The terms are clear: deposit at least $5 after creating an account, then bet $5 on any market. Once the wager is submitted—Portugal vs. Croatia included—DraftKings sends the bonus immediately, whether the bet lands or doesn’t.
There’s also a practical timeline to the push. The offer’s last verified date is July 2, 2026, and the promotion had been scheduled to end on June 28. Instead, DraftKings extended the bet $5, get $200 welcome offer through the final match of the World Cup on July 19.
For anyone trying to figure out how the signup process works tonight. the steps are spelled out around the DraftKings sign-up links: tap a promo banner or link and press “Sign Up. ” provide the required information to open an account. deposit at least $5 using the platform’s payment options. then place a $5 bet. The welcome bonus is triggered by that bet placement, not by a win.
Even with the offer, DraftKings also frames the promotion as part of a broader knockout-stage betting experience. The site lists additional promo-style boosts for existing customers. including a First Goalscorer Insurance option—described as a bonus if a chosen first goalscorer fails to score first but finds the net later—and a Knockout Round SGP Boost Pack for same-game parlay “profit boosts” throughout the knockout stage.
Tonight’s main games listed with the welcome-bonus angle run across sports beyond soccer. Alongside World Cup coverage, the slate includes Switzerland vs. Algeria at 11 p.m. (FS1), plus a set of MLB matchups and WNBA action. But the Croatia matchup remains the headline for the promo because the bet can be placed right into the knockout moment—$5 wager. $200 bonus tokens sent instantly. and no win requirement to qualify.

So you bet $5 and get $200 even if you lose? That sounds too good like it’s not actually true lol.
I don’t even follow soccer but Portugal better not blow it now that people are getting “bonus tokens” or whatever. Also why would they make it expire in 7 days??
Wait is this like they give you $200 cash right away or do they just put it into an account you can’t withdraw? The article says instant but then says it’s tokens that expire so I’m confused. And if there’s no odds limit then is it like guaranteed? seems fake to me.
DraftKings marketing is always wild. “No win requirement” is the phrase that gets me, like cool so they’re basically hoping people don’t understand the terms. I clicked one of those promo banners before and it felt like a whole maze. Also Portugal vs Croatia tonight… same time as everything else and they’re sliding in MLB and WNBA like nobody cares.
