Beginning on April 3, DraftKings will offer certain recipes on the Crafting Portal that will enable customers to burn fighter game cards for scratched fighters in exchange for replacement fighter game cards. These Crafting Portal recipes will only apply to Event Set fighter game cards.
The timing of a fighter being scratched and whether a replacement fighter or fight has been announced will impact the Crafting Portal recipes available to a customer with a fighter game card of a scratched fighter. Please see below for more details.
1. Pre-Lock Fight/Fighter Scratch Prior to 12 p.m. ET on Friday Leading Up to Event, Replacements Announced
Users with a scratched fighter will be able to craft their fighter game card for the announced replacement fighter. If an entire fight is replaced, the fighter game cards of the fighter in the red corner will be craftable for the new fighter in the red corner, and fighter game cards of the fighter in the blue corner will be crafable for the new fighter in the blue corner. Note: Crafted fighter game cards will return a random serial number for the new fighter similar to if it were pulled from a pack.
2. Pre-Lock Fight/Fighter Scratch Prior to 12 p.m. ET on Friday Leading Up to Event, No Replacements Announced
Any customer holding a fighter scratched prior to noon on the day prior to the event, where a replacement is not announced, will receive tickets to “Make Good” contests as follows:
$5,000 CORE + RARE Contest = 1 ticket per CORE fighter, 2 tickets per RARE Fighter
$5,000 ELITE + LEGENDARY + RM Contest = 1 ticket per ELITE fighter, 2 tickets per LEGENDARY fighter, 3 tickets for REIGNMAKER fighter
