DraftKings Sportsbook Ghost Leg Parlay - Explained

DraftKings Sportsbook has introduced a creative new offer called the Ghost Leg Parlay promo, designed to give NFL bettors a little extra protection when building parlays. This NFL weekly promotion helps take some of the sting out of a near miss. Normally, a single wrong pick would sink your entire parlay, but with Ghost Leg, DraftKings will remove one losing leg from a qualifying parlay so the rest of the bet can still be graded as a winner.

To qualify, you’ll need to place a parlay with at least three legs, and if exactly one of those legs loses, the promo “ghosts” that pick, and pays you out on the remaining winners. It’s a simple yet exciting twist that keeps your ticket alive even when one leg doesn’t go your way.

To make the most of DraftKings’ Ghost Leg Parlay, here’s what you need to know:

• Eligible timeframe: The promo is available during NFL week 2, and potentially onward.

• Minimum legs: Your parlay must include at least 3 legs to qualify. DraftKings SGPx, SGP, or traditional parlay all work.

• How it works:

  • If exactly one leg loses, DraftKings will “ghost” that pick.

  • The losing leg is removed, and your payout is calculated as if the parlay never included it.

• Multiple losses: If two or more legs lose, the entire parlay loses as normal.

• Markets: Applies to standard betting markets offered by DraftKings (full details can be found in the app under promo terms).

• Opt-in: You’ll need to opt in to the promo within your account before placing your qualifying bet.

• Payouts: Winnings are settled in cash, not bonus bets.

This setup gives you a little cushion on your parlays while keeping the core risk-reward of multi-leg betting intact.
