It’ll be interesting to see if the guy in your office can get that sheet full via Slack and Zoom this year instead of popping by your desk.

Here is a look at the best pools and contests. We will be adding more here as we get closer to Feb. 7.

DraftKings

2020 was a huge year for DraftKings. They really transitioned from a DFS/sports betting company to what they’ve now titled a “sports entertainment tech” company. While the world sat on the sidelines during the start of the pandemic, DK rolled out a ton of freeplay pools to keep players active and the site humming.

• For Super Bowl LV, DraftKings has a 10-prop contest all focused around the fourth quarter called the $55 Million Prediction Challenge.Sign up for free here, make the picks, and hold on to see if you cash in the million-dollar pool. You will have to answer questions like, “Which team will score more points in the fourth quarter?,” and “Will the fourth quarter two-minute warning happen at the two-minute mark?”
• DK will also bring back the Super Bowl Squares contest that they’ve run in previous years. $55,000 is on the line in DraftKings’ Super Bowl Squares contest and it is free to play, even for residents of states outside of where sports betting is legal. Select a square, numbers get revealed at kickoff, and prizes will be paid out each quarter.
• And the last one here is quite unique, as DK will be running a Big Game SnackDown Pool. Entry is $0 and the prize pool is a whopping $100,000. The SnackDown is a Major League Eating event in which America’s top competitive eaters will plow through an eight-layer dip, pepperoni pizza, boneless wings, chili, a sub sandwich, cheese balls, pigs in a blanket and jalapeno peppers. These snacks will be set up in a steeplechase format. DraftKings users will have to correctly pick which eater will come in first place, second place and third place, and will have to answer questions like, “Will any contestant finish a whole pepperoni pizza in one minute or less?”

FanDuel

FanDuel has rolled out a cool promotion for the Super Bowl, allowing virtually anyone to get involved for free while watching the game.

Sign up or login to FanDuel by going here and get your card for Big Game Bingo. The card features 24 props for the Super Bowl. The site will fill the squares automatically as each prop hits. Top prize is $10,000 and thousands of users will get free DFS tickets and cash.

FanDuel also has a $3.55 Million NFL Big Game Bowl, where the winner will receive a $1 million prize. The entry fee is $4.44.

Free sports betting promotions

The top sportsbooks in the US have a ton of Risk Free bet offers and free money promos to celebrate Super Bowl LV. Here are some of the top offers:

DraftKings Sportsbook: DK is back with one of its fantastic “No Brainer” offers. New users will double their money if a touchdown is scored in the Super Bowl. That’s a pretty safe bet with Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady on the field. Sign up for DraftKings Sportsbook by going here.

PointsBet: PointsBet is running a “Big Game Goat Insurance” promotion for Super Bowl LV. You can bet on either team to win the game, and you will get money back up to $50 if your team loses by 43 points or less. That’s another lock, considering the biggest loss in Brady’s college or NFL career was 35 points and the largest loss of Mahomes’ NFL career was 8 points. Sign up for PointsBet by going here.

If you are unsure of whether or not you are legally allowed to bet on sports in your state for the Super Bowl, go here.

Terms & Conditions

IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE REGARDING CONTEST RULES OF DRAFTKINGS
IMPORTANT! PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE CONTEST RULES (hereinafter, 'Contest Rules') BEFORE ENTERING THE DRAFTKINGS FOOTBALL PICK’EM NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST AS THESE RULES AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
CONTEST DESCRIPTION
DraftKings is pleased to announce an exciting new contest, the DraftKings Pro Football Pick’em National Championship Contest (hereinafter, the 'Contest' and entrants in said Contest “Contestants”), exclusively for DraftKings players. Contestants will have the opportunity to win the Grand Prize (defined below).
To enter the Contest, DraftKings players must officially register at https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/pools or on the DraftKings mobile app. The registration period will begin on July 12th 2020 and close at 10:00am EST on the Sunday of the first regular season NFL game (tentatively scheduled for September 13). Registration must be made via an existing DraftKings Sportsbook account. This Contest has an entry fee of $1500. Contestants register by joining the “DraftKings Pro Football Pick’em National Championship”, posted in DraftKings’ Pools Lobby. Contestants can make up to three (3) entries. These entries will be treated independently from one another. Each Contestant shall be subject to these Contest Rules.
The Contest begins at the kickoff of the first Thursday NFL game and concludes at the end of NFL Week 16 (the “Contest Period”). NFL Week 17 and the NFL playoffs are not included in the contest. Contestants shall earn points by making picks against the spread for NFL games. Contestants must make exactly seventy (70) picks over the duration of the Contest; five (5) picks per week with two (2) weeks off. Any picks over the seventy (70) threshold or more than five (5) per week shall not be counted. Contestants who enter fewer than seventy (70) picks shall not be disqualified, but shall receive zero (0) points for unpicked games.
Picks can be made and modified until the start time of the game being picked for Thursday, Friday & Saturday games. For all games starting after 1pm EST on Sunday, selections will lock at 10am EST. If the start time of a game is officially changed, that change will be reflected in the pool, but picks for that game will still be locked at the 10am EST lock time. The only way to submit picks is to use the DraftKings website or mobile app. Picks cannot be submitted by email, phone, or in person. Picks for an entry cannot be made by any individual other than the owner of the DraftKings account that registered for the Contest (i.e., no proxy play allowed), and all picks must be made by 10am EST on Sunday. DraftKings will provide a public contest leaderboard and record of all picks made by each Contestant for the Contest. Picks for a game will not be added to the public record until after that lock time. Your username shall be posted to the leaderboard. Spreads will normally be released on Wednesday morning and will not change once they are posted. The exact time the spreads are posted may fluctuate from week to week and may occur earlier than Wednesday in a given week.
Prizes (defined below) will be paid according to finishing position, with users ranked from most points to least points. Contestants receive 1 point for a correct pick, and 0 points for an incorrect pick. All posted lines will have half-point spreads, so there will be no ties. If a game is officially postponed, it must be completed on or before the Tuesday following the postponement for points from that game to count towards the Contest. If the game is not completed within that time and it is selected by a user, it will count as a loss.Prizes will be paid according to finishing position, with users ranked from highest to lowest score based on the Contestant’s cumulative total across all games in the Contest.
Prizing will fluctuate based on the number of Contestants who enter the Contest, provided, this Contest has a guaranteed prize pool (“Prize Pool”) of no less than TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000). The Prize Pool consists of all Contestant entry fees, less $90 per entry for administrative fees (6% of entry fee). If the collected Prize Pool exceeds the guaranteed amount, the additional money will be added to the payout structure below. The number of places paid out, and the percentage paid out to each place will not change, regardless of the total Prize Pool.The winner of the Contest shall receive FIFTY PERCENT (50%) of the entire Prize Pool (the “Grand Prize”). Contestants shall be eligible for secondary prizing (“Prize(s)”) as outlined below:
Additionally, each week a contestant gets all five of their picks correctly, they will receive a $100 free bet.
These Contest Rules, in conjunction with the DraftKings' Sportsbook Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, shall govern the player eligibility, contest conduct, and rules of play of the Contest. A Contestant who wins any amount in connection with the Contest may be taxed on the Bonus, Prize, Grand Prize, and or other prizes’ fair market value depending on applicable law, and all such tax liability is the responsibility of the player.
TIEBREAKERS
If there is a tie for 1st place, the entry with most correct picks in your final week of selections in the Contest Period, wins the tie (bye weeks removed.). If that does not break the tie, the entry that had the most correct picks in their 2nd to last week of selection wins, and so on. If the tie cannot be broken by this method, the prize will be split evenly among the tied positions. All tiebreaks for other places will be calculated by evenly splitting the prize among the tied positions.
