Delta Air Lines is adding a new type of entertainment to its onboard offerings: a collaboration with sports entertainment gambling company DraftKings.

The Atlanta-based airline has launched SkyPicks, a free-to-play sports contest that gives SkyMiles frequent flyer members the ability to test their sports knowledge and compete for Delta gift cards.

No wagering, deposits, miles or real money is involved, according to a news release announcing the partnership. Gambling is outlawed on commercial aircraft, dictated by a law passed more the 50 years ago.
