DraftKings added a feature called Combos to its Predictions platform on May 11, 2026, bringing multi-leg parlay mechanics to event contract trading and allowing users to bundle up to six contracts into a single position. The company also introduced a new standardized fee structure for event contracts alongside the update, the latest step in a major buildout of DraftKings’ prediction markets infrastructure ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
For anyone who places parlays on DraftKings’ sportsbook, the Combos interface will feel familiar. Instead of selecting multiple bet legs, you select multiple event contracts. The combined position’s value rises with each outcome you get right, similar to how parlay odds compound. However, Combos are not available on all markets. Tennis, PGA Tour contracts, and several non-sports categories including crypto, elections, and commodities are excluded from the feature.
DraftKings CEO Jason Robins addressed Combos during the company’s Q1 earnings call, framing it as part of a suite of product launches converging before the tournament. “In the coming weeks, we expect to launch our proprietary exchange and begin offering combos. Together, these moves will accelerate innovation, improve the customer experience, and strengthen our economics. Our super app, market-making capabilities, proprietary exchange, and combos are coming together ahead of the World Cup,” Robins said.
DraftKings has been transitioning away from relying on third-party exchanges, including CME Group and Crypto.com, to surface its prediction market contracts. The acquisition of Railbird gives DraftKings its own exchange infrastructure, which means more control over market design and more fee revenue per trade. The company is investing $200 million to $300 million in its Predictions business in 2026 and reported Q1 revenue of $1.65 billion, up 17% year over year.
Under the updated fee schedule, users pay $0.01 for contracts priced between $0.01 and $0.19, $0.02 for contracts priced between $0.20 and $0.96, and $0.01 for contracts priced from $0.97 to $0.99. The tiered structure aligns with standard practice on regulated financial exchanges and makes the cost of trading more predictable than a variable spread-based model. For bettors exploring prediction markets for the first time, the DraftKings review covers the sportsbook side of the platform. The broader landscape of prediction market platforms is worth understanding before committing to one, especially as DraftKings continues to expand its product this summer.
