Distinct product and carrying-account boundaries
This guide covers the DraftKings Predictions Account under the current product terms. It does not replace the separate DraftKings Sportsbook/Casino or DFS guides, and closure does not close an external futures commission merchant or exchange account.
Open positions become unsellable
DraftKings says the user cannot liquidate or reduce event-contract positions after Predictions closure, and product-wide self-exclusion also makes open positions unsellable. If it is safe, resolve positions and FCM cash first. If immediate protection matters more, self-exclude and ask support for the result.
Close your DraftKings Predictions account
Permanently close DraftKings Predictions
Review positions and the carrying account
Record open positions, available cash, pending transfers, and the connected FCM. Do not open a new position to prepare the account.
Close or reduce positions when safe
Use only the official Predictions controls. Resolve the FCM cash balance and transfer status separately; closing Predictions does not close the FCM or designated contract market account.
Use Login & Security or support
Follow the permanent-close control in Login & Security, or email support@draftkings.com from the registered address. Name DraftKings Predictions in the request.
Keep the product-specific confirmation
Ask for the effective date and the result for each remaining position, transfer, cash balance, and external account. Do not assume a generic DraftKings confirmation resolves those contracts.
The terms say obligations survive closure. They also say closure does not close other FCM or designated contract market accounts.

Self-exclude from DraftKings Predictions
Use product-wide DraftKings self-exclusion
DraftKings' current self-exclusion page says the restriction covers its products, including Predictions and Golden Nugget. It also warns that open event-contract positions become unsellable.
Use Account Information → Self-Exclusion or official support. If access is unsafe, do not delay the protection to trade. Ask support and the connected FCM to record the position and cash outcome.
What self-exclusion actually does (and doesn't)
It is designed to block play for the period you choose. Whether it covers new sign-ups or can be changed early depends on the operator and jurisdiction; follow the platform-specific details above.
Do not assume self-exclusion deletes account data, stops every message, or covers other sites; exact scope varies. Consider account closure, mailbox controls, and a blocking tool as additional layers.
Stop DraftKings Predictions emails
The reviewed Predictions terms do not establish one product-specific marketing preference route. Use an unsubscribe instruction when present and ask support to record a marketing opt-out separately from closure or self-exclusion.
You can also use your mailbox's search, filter, and bulk-delete controls. Review the privacy terms and current price before granting any third-party cleanup tool access to your inbox.
Frequently asked questions
Does Predictions closure close DraftKings Sportsbook or DFS?
The reviewed product terms describe a distinct Predictions Account. Do not assume closure applies to other DraftKings products; name each account that needs action.
Does closure close the FCM account?
No. The terms expressly keep other FCM and designated contract market accounts separate.
