DraftKings want to start the new (and their first) season with a bang.

All UK players that register a new account on DraftKings and opt in to receive emails will get FREE entry into their Premier League Kick Off Special contest. Players only need to register an account to claim – no deposit required.

To add value to this generous promotion, they have also created one of our biggest Premier League contests to date (to which the above free entry applies). UK football fans have the chance to win a share of a whopping £40,000 ($55,000).

More details: This season DraftKings, the official fantasy sports partner for Liverpool FC and Arsenal FC, are giving Premier League fans free entry+ into their opening weekend contest:

To claim, simply

1. Register a DraftKings account (opting in to receive email communications)
2. Open the email sent to the email address you registered with (this will be received within 24 hours)
3. Click the included link to receive FREE ENTRY into the £40,000 Premier League fantasy football contest.

Players can then enter the main Premier league contest for the weekend by picking their ultimate fantasy team, within the salary cap, from the available players in those fixtures. The first contest will be the EPL Kick-off Special offering a £40,000* prize pool; usually this would cost £3* to enter but DraftKings are offering free entry to this contest.
