DraftKings King of the Beach in Atlantis - $1,000,000 to 1st
We’ve still yet to experience the first of the Atlantis tournaments (less then a month for the MLB version!), but DraftKings has already announced the next in line with the NFL King of the Beach! It will be a $2,500,000 event which pays out a cool $1,000,000 to 1st place, similar to what we saw with last season’s NFL championship on DraftKings. The big difference is that instead of playing from wherever you call home, you’ll get a nice 4-night vacation in the paradise that is the Bahamas. If you’ve got a wife/girlfriend that has put up with your daily fantasy sports addiction for this long, this is a great way to reward them and keep them happy! You’ll get to bring a guest along with you and I’d imagine DraftKings will allow you to personalize your trip the way they have for the MLB championship, which is a huge plus. Especially if you live in a place that is bitter cold by the time mid-December rolls around, getting away to a beach for a few days/nights is worth chasing without even considering the fact that you could turn yourself into a millionaire along the way! Let’s get to the details of the DraftKings NFL King of the Beach, which will be a one-day live event on December 14th.
