While the Kansas City Chiefswoke up today as Super Bowl LVII champions, any FanDuel players who wagered five dollars or more on Super Bowl LVII were excited to learn that their accounts received bonus bets to be used towards future wagers even though Rob Gronkowski did not make the kick – a thank you for going on this exciting and suspenseful journey with FanDuel during Super Bowl LVII.
