DraftKings Pick6: Fantasy Game Reviews

by Jpp5981

Not a fan of draft kings in general anymore but pick 6 is horrible. In the few months I have played they have tweaked the scoring and players available to make it ridiculous to win. Not to mention the prizing has taken a drastic cut. If you like picking from a small percentage of potential players (a lot of times full teams are unavailable) and winning less and less as this progresses then waste your money. If prizing works like they say you should win more money now then you used to but you dont so there are obvious shenanigans here.

DraftKingsPick6 is by far the most predatory app out there right now. They show you your “estimated” payout when you make your picks then pay you FAR less. Let’s use a “Pick 2” for example: you place a bet for $33 and the “estimated” payout is $99 (3X -This is pretty standard across the entire “pickem” industry). You’re correct on both picks. But because other people were also correct tonight now your payout is only $58. This isn’t even a 2x multiplayer when they market it as a 3x. This is clearly a bait and switch. I won twice on two tickets with 4 different players/stats. Each payout was $58. So I risked $66 and won $116. That should absolutely be illegal and is at best highly unethical. No other app does things like this. None. And there are dozens of competitors. Please, do not use DraftKingsPick6. Not until they fix how they do things and operate like a normal pick’em company. I expect a class action lawsuit in the future here.

If I could give it zero stars I would. I was under the impression this was like prize picks or underdog, I was wrong. I won a 6/6 and 5/5 and I assumed I was going to win the stated amount. You have to read the fine print and even that is very confusing. Instead of with $150 and 90 on $5 dollar bets, I ended up with around $18 and $15 with their live prizing which is very confusing. I would stay far away from it. Reason I started using it was because I can use my funds from DraftKings fantasy app, they are linked together. I would stay far from DraftKingsPick6.

Since you aren’t betting against DK themselves, you are betting against other players. If they make the same picks, you share the pot. For example, a pick of 6 players that hits has a “chance” to hit the initial estimated prizing (e.g. $10 bet for 6 correct picks shows $300 when you first place the bet). But it has a higher chance to hit the “live estimated prizing” like it did for me. I went from expecting to win $300 to only winning $38.

Underdog and Betr have more transparency when seeing your “estimated” winnings.

I expected more out of DK especially with its ties to the NFL.

Originally I was excited for DraftKings to create a pick em app but the payout system doesn’t make sense to me. I only won two entries on this site first one paid what I was expecting second paid less than 2x for a 2 man play which I was expecting to pay 3x. I don’t like to risk my dollars for an unknown payout based on “average win rate” which feels like DraftKings eliminated any edge you have on them. Overall wouldn’t recommend as of right now.

Let's just start off saying this is a good functional app overall and easy to predict your desire 👍🏽.... Besides that this is my first time actually being able to sports bet so I would say this is not a good app for what I desire outside DraftKingsPick6 . Basically I won most of my bets and between all of them DK's took half of my earnings, on top of that my initial deposit was thrown in the prize so add that in the prize (if you win). High risk/low reward type of app, this is a bad start. Hope DK's could fix the payout because I never leave a review on apps, of course if you playing with my money 😒😒😒

Nowhere in DraftKingsPick6 Store, Pick6 sign-up process or terms and conditions does it tell you that DraftKingsPick6 is restricted in certain states. Such false advertising and misconception to drive app downloads, only to frustrate users who signed up, learned the basics and then made picks — only to be told at the END that I’m not able to use DraftKingsPick6 based on my location. Come on DK app developers, put yourself in your customers shoes when thinking about the experience. I guess I should have known daily in this format wasn’t available, but at least make it more prominent to find app availability by state — or better yet, since this this is tied to the DK daily app, why can’t you just pull my geo-location or IP with an API call to my DK account?

Do not use DraftKingsPick6. Use prizepicks or anything else. The payouts are laughably low. Every other app gives you a 3x payout for a 2-leg, and I got a 1.5x payout.
Those are the worst odds that i’ve ever seen in gambling ever. If you are going to gamble, you should receive CLOSE to fair odds (but the casino needs to keep money so it makes sense that you don’t break even). These odds are not even close to fair.
HORRIBLE PAYOUTS DO NOT PLAY

I’ve been a customer of all DK products for over a decade. They used to be cutting edge ahead of customer service and doing the right thing for the player. They’ve since been declining rapidly and recently abruptly stopped reignmakers and low balled everyone on their collection after we had loyally invested for the last two years. I recommend playing elsewhere as I have chosen to do as they are now to big to care about the customer. Hurts me to say it but the people must know the truth…

THEY DONT VOID OR REFUND YOU FOR DNP YOU CAN LOSE ALOT OF MONEY BECAUSE DNP IS OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. They don’t care to help you at all just will count it as a loss and take your entry free even if you have 3/3 line up go 2/3 and the 1 is dnp it will count as a loss be aware because they will have his player card green and allow you to submit the entry and can turn to a dnp and they will not help you even if you submitted it before when it was green. Be careful as you can lose a lot of money as dnp is completely out of our control and random.

DraftKingsPick6 is okay because it’s one of the few that I can use in MO, but the payout model is terrible. It’s hard enough to win on this platform by making accurate predictions and throwing away $40 to $50 on entry fees but when I enter a contest for $10 with the estimated prizing being $100 for 3/3 and I only receive a payout of $31 for being 100% accurate, that’s really misleading on DK’s part. DraftKingsPick6 concept is cool, but a lot needs to be fixed in the ways of payouts.

by Its_Monchis

Honestly i love the interface of DraftKingsPick6 the props are great and everything runs very smoothly but the whole thing about playing against “others” and just winning an estimate/sharing of the pot and not a guarantee total prize will be the end of DraftKingsPick6! Also the fact that you cant mix props from different sports is awful, in reality those 2 factors i mentioned are screwing over the people us the players and just putting free money in your pockets! If y’all don't change that outcome of that and want to compete against the bigger apps PrizePicks,Underdog etc it’ll be a matter of time for when we get a notice saying that “Draftkings Pick6” is being discontinued!

by Dontmistakeforabot

Well for one payouts. They have estimated payouts of what you think you might get but you get a significantly lesser amount then the "estimated prize."

When a players gets injured you dont get your money back like other apps if you bet the over or under.

They also take out games that havent happend yet 2 hours away from the start time giving you no time to place a bet i mean theres no competition.

by Ugadtdawg71

I was shocked when I saw the “estimated” payout then what was actually paid out. Essentially if you get 6/6 you might get $50 or so on a $10 entry, not the promised 3-400. If you get 5/6 instead of getting your money back, you get maybe $8 on a $10 entry, so you still lose money. Do not play this with other options available to you. If they fixed that, it’s a very clean app.

by BettingOnThingsPerson

It's fun if you like to bet play player props, however, I have won about 6 contests and none of them have paid near the "estimated payout". Just be aware of what you are getting into and probably suspect 65-80% of what they say the estimated payout will be if you win. Maybe it varies from sport sport as I will really only do NFL, but it seems everyone has similar comments.

by Paytonona32

Pick 6 is the only app I have won a flex play on and got less money than what I paid to enter the contest. A win should feel like a win not a kicking of wounds. Definitely stingy when it comes to the payouts a lot of other apps offer more stats to choose from and better flex play earnings. I’m only giving them 3 ⭐️over 2 because I like the actual draft kings app.

by Zzzzzsbcs

When there is 13 games it can be a real headache seeing all of the props in front of you. It’d be nice if you could click on a game and look at props just from 1 game at a time.

Also you need to show more prizing data. It can be really confusing and just taking you guys word for how the slate played out unless we want to sort through a pdf isn’t enough.

I would have give DraftKings pick 6 5 stars but y’all don’t have all player to bet on or I if I’m make a bet there are glitch to wear I have too wait to bet example if I’m bet on fantasy point but it only show point or rebounds or assist or block or steal or PRA won’t see fantasy have to wait late in in the day for it to pop back up but the main problem never have all the player too bet on in either sports please fix that an DraftKings pick 6 would be the best thank you for hearing me out

I am enjoying the format of draftkings new venture. Most pick ‘em games are not really about facing “live competition” that determine prize outcomes. This adds a new component that I find interesting. I do wish if there is a healthy scratch in a contest that it is not an automatic loss. I had under on a player who ended up not playing, and technically he ended up “under”, but it was just considered a loss. I think just voiding the game would have been fair. I sometimes am not in a position to be checking my phone for last minute changes, so this may determine how much I play. Overall, I commend draftkings for their efforts in over/under.

The best DFS app I’ve come across… Have done a lot, on a lot of DFS apps — and this one is like the best parts of all the others, plus some new original stuff that kills. Plus I can win! Made a lot of $$$ last wknd on NFL. Looking forward to this week, go Packers!

I started with DraftKings Sportsbook while I was in Oregon and loved it. Easy to pick and get paid almost instantly! Moved back to Oklahoma and had to switch to DraftKings Pick6 and it’s amazing. Very easy to pick a lineup and again almost paid instantly! Will not use any other bet site DraftKings is the Best!!!

by Ummmm Sweet

This version of DK is amazing! So easy to use and quick. The last second replacement option is really clever. Instead of having to cancel and put in another entire bet.

This is the business, I love DraftKingsPick6. So much fun. Honestly the most upsetting part is we, the user, didn’t have it all season long. It is such a fun way to play and watch sports. Greatest experience to hand off fantasy football action into this action.

I can’t wait for next year’s season so I can play this the whole way through.

I would like to see MMA if possible idk how you would do that. Maybe Distance/ no distance, Takedown over under, not sure what other option but cool idea.

Appreciate the ability to drop the feedback.

Draftkings all day.

Pick 6 is a good app to win money. It’s clearly better than all the other betting apps. It’s still new and needs a little improvement but overall I like DraftKingsPick6 . It’s a great way to make some money

by Lucic43

Beautiful designs and better payouts than other pick ‘em apps!

by Pick 6er

If you enjoy sports and competition (and like to win a few bucks now and then) this is DraftKingsPick6 for you. If you don’t expect to get rich and play with discipline you’ll really get more enjoyment out of watching NBA or NFL games. Have fun and good luck!

by Fastbluehawk

The varied payouts works out in the long run and they DK doesn’t care if you win unlike other apps who will limit you

by Tosa Tapout

DK is the only site I use for fantasy and pick 6 prop bets. I would love to write for DK Playbook but I have no previous experience other than writing for the school paper in college. I am an English major and have read all the classics:). You’re an awesome company and the tournaments and games you create is just hands down better than all other companies trying to copy your innovation and creative games. Thank you!

App works great and is really smooth. Lot of fun for casual fantasy players!

by MaAdaAaaa

It’s because that prop wasn’t available earlier I get it now
