What Are DraftKings Dynasty Tier Credits?
DraftKings Dynasty Rewards is a loyalty program where players earn Tier Credits based on their wagering activity across DraftKings and Golden Nugget Online Casino platforms. Unlike Crowns (which can be redeemed for rewards), Tier Credits determine your tier status and unlock exclusive VIP benefits.
The program considers:
- Total wagered amount across all platforms (Sportsbook, Casino, DFS, Pick6, DK Horse)
- Betting odds for sportsbook wagers (higher odds earn significantly more)
- Game type for casino play (slots earn faster than table games)
Your tier status unlocks benefits including boosted Crown earnings, priority support, exclusive promotions, weekly casino rewards, and access to elite experiences. Important: Tier status earned in 2025 carries over to 2026, giving you an immediate head start.

How to Use the Dynasty Tier Credit Calculator
Step 1: Calculate Your Activity
Track your wagering across all platforms. Tier Credits accumulate from DraftKings AND Golden Nugget Online Casino combined.
Step 2: Use Platform-Specific Rates
Sportsbook Example: $1,000 wagered at +250 odds = $1,000 ÷ $4.50 = 222 Tier Credits
Casino Example: $5,000 on slots = $5,000 ÷ $10 = 500 Tier Credits
DFS Example: $500 in contest entries = $500 ÷ $5 = 100 Tier Credits
Step 3: Check Your Progress
- Bronze to Silver: Need 5,000 credits
- Silver to Gold: Need 25,000 credits (20,000 more)
- Gold to Diamond: Need 90,000 credits (65,000 more)
- Diamond to Onyx: Need 175,000 credits + invitation (85,000 more)
Example Tier Scenarios
Scenario 1: Sportsbook Specialist
- $10,000 wagered at +150 odds (2x rate)
- Calculation: $10,000 ÷ $9 = 1,111 Tier Credits
- Status: 22% toward Silver tier
Scenario 2: Casino Grinder
- $50,000 on eligible slots
- Calculation: $50,000 ÷ $10 = 5,000 Tier Credits
- Status: Silver tier achieved!
Scenario 3: Multi-Platform Player
- $20,000 sportsbook (standard odds) = 1,111 credits
- $30,000 casino slots = 3,000 credits
- $5,000 DFS entries = 1,000 credits
- Total: 5,111 Tier Credits → Silver tier with 111 rollover credits
Scenario 4: Diamond Push
- Current: 80,000 Tier Credits
- Strategy: $450 in +600 odds parlays = 200 credits per $450 = 10,000 credits from $4,500
- Or: $100,000 in slot play = 10,000 credits (higher volume, lower risk)
- Total: 90,000 Tier Credits → Diamond tier achieved

Maximizing Your Tier Credits
1. Leverage High-Odds Sportsbook Multipliers
Wagers at +500 or higher earn 8x the base rate. A $225 parlay at +600 odds earns the same Tier Credits as $1,800 at standard odds.
2. Focus on Casino Slots
Slots earn 1 credit per $10 versus $40 for most table games—4x more efficient for tier progress.
3. Minimum Wagers Apply
- Casino slots: minimum $0.05 wager
- Table games: minimum $0.13 wager
- DFS: minimum $0.03 entry
4. Combine DraftKings + Golden Nugget
Tier Credits from both platforms count toward your total. If one platform offers better promotions, capitalize on it.
5. Plan for Rollover Credits
Higher tiers let you carry credits into the next year (Silver: 500, Gold: 4,000, Diamond: 15,000, Onyx: 25,000). Time your push to maximize this benefit.
When Tier Credits Are Awarded
- Sportsbook & DK Horse: At wager settlement (voided/pushed bets don’t count)
- Casino: When wager is placed
- DFS/Pick6: When contest locks
- Note: Voided sportsbook wagers below -300 odds never earn Tier Credits
Tier Credits display as whole numbers (rounded down) even though they accrue fractionally.
Elite Rewards for Diamond & Onyx
Diamond: Select one Elite Rewards Gift (luxury merchandise, event tickets, travel packages)
Onyx: Earn Elite Rewards Credits based on Tier Credit milestones:
- 175,000 credits = 2 Elite Rewards Credits

- Every 250,000 after 1M = +1 credit
Elite Rewards must be claimed by January 28 of the following year or they’re forfeited.
