Responding to an October 22 inquiry from Sen. Blumenthal and Reps. Tonko and Foushee, DraftKings’ November 5 letter described DraftKings Rewards as five auto-enrolled tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Onyx) with fewer than 1% of customers in the top two tiers, where an assigned host may offer credits, gifts, experiences and promotions. It set out host safeguards: exclusion lists refreshed roughly hourly, 30-day marketing blackouts after self-exclusion or long cool-offs, mandatory escalation of possible problem play, and monthly random check-ins tied to host incentive pay. Similar letters went to BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics, Kalshi and Polymarket.

Why it matters if you play there

If you have a DraftKings host, expect contact rules and promo targeting to tighten; self-excluding or taking a cool-off now pauses all proactive host outreach for a set period.
