DraftKings MLB Moonshot is a new live betting game that transforms traditional baseball wagering into an interactive experience where payouts can grow with every pitch, hit, and run scored.

If you’re wondering how Moonshot works on DraftKings, where to find it, and how payouts are calculated, this FAQ covers everything you need to know about DraftKings’ newest live MLB betting experience.

DraftKings MLB Moonshot FAQ

What is DraftKings MLB Moonshot?

MLB Moonshot is a live betting game available on DraftKings Sportsbook. Players place a wager before a live baseball sequence begins, and their potential payout grows as positive events occur during the inning.

Every pitch, hit, walk, and run can increase the payout multiplier, creating a game-like live betting experience that evolves with the action on the field.


How does Moonshot work on DraftKings?

Moonshot follows a simple format:

  • Place a wager before a Moonshot sequence begins
  • Watch the payout multiplier increase as the inning unfolds
  • Each pitch and offensive outcome can boost your potential winnings
  • The sequence continues until an out is recorded
  • If an out occurs while your wager is active, the wager settles as a loss

The goal is to build the largest multiplier possible before the sequence ends.


What makes Moonshot different from traditional live betting?

Unlike standard live bets that settle based on a single outcome, Moonshot rewards continued action during a live baseball sequence.

  • Payouts can grow with every pitch
  • Hits and runs increase the multiplier
  • Long offensive sequences can create larger potential payouts
  • The experience updates in real time throughout the inning

Moonshot is designed to feel more interactive than placing multiple individual live wagers.


How do payout multipliers work in Moonshot?

Moonshot uses a multiplier system that increases based on events during the sequence.

  • Pitch: +0.25x
  • Walk: +1.0x
  • Reach First on Non-Hit: +1.0x
  • Single: +1.0x
  • Double: +2.0x
  • Triple: +3.0x
  • Home Run: +4.0x

The multiplier continues building throughout the sequence, increasing the potential payout on your original wager.


Are there bonus multipliers in Moonshot?

Yes. Moonshot includes bonus multiplier opportunities that can increase payouts beyond the standard event table.

Bonus multipliers may be triggered by major offensive moments, including home runs and extended sequences with a high number of pitches.

These boosts can significantly increase the final payout multiplier.


Can I place multiple bets during a Moonshot sequence?

No. Players place one wager before the Moonshot sequence begins.

Once a sequence becomes active, additional wagers cannot be placed until the next round begins.

Is Moonshot exclusive to DraftKings?

Yes. Moonshot is a proprietary live MLB betting experience available exclusively on DraftKings Sportsbook.
