Rules and licensingDraftKings launches major football season promotion with free gas and new apps
DraftKings is celebrating the start of football season with free gas giveaways, celebrity adverts, and new app features across the country.
Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 7 September 2026
DraftKings is launching a massive nationwide campaign to mark the start of the football season. The company is combining free fuel events, celebrity advertisements, and charitable donations into one big push. This marks the first time the operator can offer its full suite of products across all fifty states.
Free gas and big city events
Fans in specific cities will benefit from free gas giveaways as part of the promotion. The selected locations include Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and Detroit. Special guests and interactive contests will accompany these giveaway events in each city.
The all in one super app
Bettors will find different product availability depending on their location. States with legal wagering like Pennsylvania and Michigan will have access to sportsbooks, casinos, and prediction markets. Meanwhile, states like California, Texas, Florida, and Georgia will focus on prediction markets since sports betting remains illegal there.
Marketing power and charity work
A new advertising campaign featuring Kevin Hart and Nick Jonas is currently airing across television and digital platforms. The adverts show users engaging with betting and prediction products while on the road. Additionally, the company is donating fifty thousand dollars to Disabled American Veterans to support free rides for injured members.
Depending on your state, you can now access sports betting or prediction markets through the unified DraftKings application.
