DRAFTKINGS DYNASTY REWARDS AND TIER CREDITS: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

Sportsgrid-Staff

DraftKings Dynasty Rewards is a unique VIP program that offers perks like bonuses, contests, and exclusive experiences for playing any eligible DraftKings game. Any bettor who enjoys DraftKings’ casino, sports betting, and fantasy sports games can benefit, and the membership extends to the Golden Nugget Online Casino.

When players take part in daily games on DraftKings, they earn DK Crowns and tier credits, which work like virtual currency and site credits on the platform. Players can redeem Crowns for betting credits like DK Dollars and GN Dollars that they can use to place real-money sportsbook, casino, and fantasy sports contest wagers.

Tier credits are site credits that give players tier status in the Dynasty Rewards program. As players accumulate tier credits, they ascend the different loyalty tiers, gain status, and unlock additional benefits.

The current version of the DraftKings Dynasty Rewards program offers players a transparent and cohesive experience with a broad variety of ways to earn and redeem Crowns. The Dynasty Rewards interface makes it easy for players to know exactly how they can earn a specific number of Crowns or tier credits that will get them to the next tier. Players who climb the ladder can get better Crown earn rates and redemption options, reload bonuses, access to VIP hosts and priority customer service, and exclusive offers and rewards.

The lower Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers of Dynasty Rewards mostly provide online benefits like site credits and bonuses, but as you gain status, some rewards include real-life perks. Players who reach the Diamond level get VIP status, large weekly prize chests, and access to live experiences like dinners and tickets to sports events. Onyx-level players get even better benefits, plus exclusive invites to meet celebrities and perks like paid vacations.

To learn more about how tier credits and DK Crowns work, read on.

What Are Tier Credits and How Do You Earn Them?

Dynasty Rewards tier credits are non-transferable, non-redeemable site credits that you earn when you make bets at DraftKings Sportsbook, DraftKings Casino, DraftKings Daily Fantasy, or the Golden Nugget Online Casino. Earning tier credits gives you tier status that provides access to enhanced benefits as you advance through the program. Higher status players get bigger weekly prize chests and larger earnings boosts on Crowns.

For instance, Gold members are guaranteed a 2,000-Crown weekly prize chest, which they can exchange for DK Dollars, casino credits, and DK shop purchases. Players who reach the Diamond or Onyx VIP tiers can exchange credits for real-life perks like luxury watches and exclusive experiences like special dinners and tickets to NBA, MLB, and NFL games.

Tier credits are subject to tier leveling, and your tier credits count will reset to zero at the end of each year. During the year, all the tier credits you earn will go toward increasing your status. When you accumulate enough tier credits, DraftKings will automatically update your tier status, which is valid for the rest of the current year and the entire following year. This means that if you earn Gold status in 2025, you will carry that status through the end of 2026 unless you move up another tier. If you achieve Diamond status during 2026, you will carry that status through 2027. You can track your tier credits in your Dynasty Rewards account or your Golden Nugget Online Casino account.

What Are DK Crowns and How Can I Redeem Them?

Dynasty Rewards uses DK Crowns as a form of virtual currency on the platform. Before DraftKings established this program, they used Crowns to reward players who bet on daily fantasy contests and later extended them to reward other types of gambling, like casino gaming and sports wagers. When DraftKings introduced Dynasty Rewards, they created a system that made it easy for players to understand how to earn Crowns, how quickly they can build their balance, and how they can exchange them for betting credits and merchandise in the DraftKings shop. After DraftKings acquired Golden Nugget Online Casino, they extended the program to cover both platforms.

Players can view their Crowns balance and redemption options by signing into their Dynasty Rewards account. You can redeem crowns for DK Dollars, casino credits (where available), fantasy sports contest entries, and items at the Dynasty Rewards Store and the DraftKings Shop. Redemptions are non-reversible.

Players cannot withdraw Crowns or redeem them for cash. Crowns do not expire, but redemption rates may be subject to change without notice.
