Texas, this one's for you. DraftKings Predictions is rolling out an offer for the Red River Showdown on Saturday, Oct. 10: trade $5 or more on any market for the Texas vs. Oklahoma game, and you'll get $25 in Predictions Dollars when either team scores a point, or the game ends.*
You don't need to pick the winner, and you don't need your trade to hit. The first point on the board from either side, whether it's a field goal, a safety or a touchdown, triggers your $25. If somehow nobody scores, you still get it when the game ends.
The offer is limited to one per customer in Texas or Oklahoma, requires opt-in, and closes at kickoff on Oct. 10, so you'll want to get in before the game starts.
How to claim the DraftKings Predictions Red River Showdown offer:
Getting the $25 in Predictions Dollars takes a few minutes, as long as you're in Texas or Oklahoma:
- Download DraftKings Predictions and sign in or create an account (or just sign in, if you already have an account).
- Opt in to the promo before kickoff on Oct. 10. The offer won't apply unless you opt in.
- Trade $5 or more on any market for the Texas vs. Oklahoma game, such as who wins or how many points are scored.
- Wait for the first point. When either team scores (or the game ends, if no one does), $25 in Predictions Dollars heads your way.
Your original trade settles on its own, separate from the bonus. Win or lose, the $25 is yours once that first point goes up, or the game concludes.

Texas vs. Oklahoma preview:
No. 1 Texas (4-0) meets Oklahoma (2-2) at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 2:30 p.m. CT (3:30 p.m. ET) on ABC. Both teams are coming off a Week 5 bye.
Texas have leaned on their defense so far, and Steve Sarkisian has won three of the last four meetings with Brent Venables. Oklahoma's offense has struggled, managing only three field goals across the last two Red River games. Arch Manning and John Mateer are back under center for both sides.
This game could be interesting given situational stats. It only takes one team to score and unlock a $25 bonus.
