DraftKings Adds Combo Feature to Prediction Markets Push

DraftKings’ tentacle arms keep reaching further into the prediction markets field. The giant has announced a new parlay-style feature called Combos that will enable bundling multiple event contracts into a single trade. 

The decision represents another major step in the company’s effort to bring sportsbook-style mechanics into its growing Predictions platform.

The new DraftKings offering is being rolled out through Crypto.com’s exchange infrastructure, which already supports similar bundled prediction products. 

What Can Users Expect?

With Combos, users can select up to six separate event contracts and combine them into one position. Like traditional sportsbook parlays, every selection must win for the full combo to pay out.

However, there’s a catch, as not all markets were included in the feature. For example, sports such as tennis and PGA Tour events, along with elections, cryptocurrency, and commodities, are not featured.

The limitation hints at DraftKing’s focus on select sports-based outcomes rather than broader speculative markets.

The launch follows comments from DraftKings chief executive Jason Robins, who recently told investors that combo-style products were expected to arrive within weeks. 

He described them as part of a broader strategy aimed at including prediction markets in the company’s long-term “Super App” vision, together with market-making capabilities and a planned proprietary exchange.

Robins has also reiterated the strong user engagement noticed in US states where traditional sports betting has not yet been legalized, turning Predictions into a tool for reaching new customers outside regulated markets. 

The company regards this segment as an essential growth driver as it expands its digital ecosystem.

New Fees Amid Ongoing Growth

Besides the new feature, DraftKings has also announced a standardized fee structure aimed at event contracts, with fees ranging from one to two cents, based on contract pricing tiers. 

The company has also explained that the charges will include exchange and commission costs.

The operator also revealed strong growth metrics for its Predictions business, reporting more than $1 billion in annualized consumer volume and over $2.3 billion in total annualized trading volume. 

Company leadership said the segment is growing rapidly and attracting users at lower acquisition costs after integration into its broader app ecosystem.
