How old do you have to be to play DraftKings Poker for real money?

How do split pots work?

Split pots happen when two players have the same hand and go to a showdown. For example, if the board shows AA884 and two players hold an Ace as one of their pocket cards, they both have hands that consist of a full house, Aces over 8s, and the pot would need to be divided equally between them.

How do kickers work?

A kicker comes into play as the next highest card is used to break the tie if possible. For example, if the board is AK932 and Player A has AQ as their hole cards, and Player B has AJ as their hole cards making a pair of Aces for both players, Player A would win as their Q would be the next highest card in the best five cards and would thus break the tie.

How do you access your hand history?

Hand history can be accessed in a few different ways. While live, in-game, players are able to click on the dealer narration button to view a log of the hands played on the current table. On a computer/laptop browser, in the poker lobby, players can find the Hand History link by scrolling down to the footer.
