What a DFS deposit match actually is
Instead of a bonus bet triggered by a qualifying wager, DFS platforms typically match a percentage of your first deposit, credited as bonus funds you use to enter pick''em style contests, choosing whether specific players will go over or under a projected number across a handful of picks. The match percentage and cap vary by platform and by promotion.
