How to claim DraftKings promo code for 2025 MLB HR Derby

There's no code required for this offer, but you have to be of legal age in a state where DraftKings legitimately operates. You must also be a new user at the sportsbook to get the offer, meaning you could not have previously signed up for a DraftKings account. Here's how to sign up.

DraftKings will issue $150 in bonus bets in the form of six $25 bonus bet slips within 72 hours of your initial wager settling, regardless of the outcome. Bonus bets cannot be cashed out or withdrawn, and they expire in seven days. If you win a wager using bonus bets, you will receive the winnings but not the stake.

2025 MLB Home Run Derby betting preview 

The 2025 MLB Home Run Derby bracket will include Raleigh, Cruz, Olson, James Wood (+450), Brent Rooker (+850), Byron Buxton (+950), Jazz Chisholm (+1100) and Junior Caminero (+1200). The eight participants will compete in a three-round tournament to determine the winner, but the 2025 MLB HR Derby rules have been slightly adjusted.

In Round One, all eight players will get 40 pitches over a three-minute time limit with one 45-second timeout. They'll also receive a bonus period where they each get three outs (any swing that doesn't result in a home run is an out) and will receive an additional out in that period if they hit a home run of 425 feet or more. The top four home run totals will advance to the head-to-head stage of the competition, and the four players remaining will be seeded based on how many homers they hit in the first round.

In the semifinals and finals, players will face a limit of either 27 pitches or two minutes and ties will be broken by a 60-second swing-off. The new 2025 MLB Home Run Derby format was designed to create a less frantic pace and reduce the physical toll on participants and could also impact strategy significantly.

Among the eight players competing, Raleigh's 38 home runs in the first half are by far the most. He's followed by Wood (24), Caminero (23), Buxton (21), Rooker (20), Chisholm (17), Olson (17) and Cruz (16). Olson is the only player in the field who has previously participated in the MLB Home Run Derby, but he was eliminated in the first round during his only appearance in 2021.
