I am playing a a game feel I am in this position. I have clicked the offer draw button but an unsure how to declare a draw, or where this buttion is... Any ideas?

It is essentially the same button (in Online Chess, it changes to "Claim Draw," while in Live Chess, it remains simply "Draw"). But, for it to work, you must press it at the right time - at the point (whether it is your move or your opponent's move) where the current exact position has already appeared at least twice before. Note that this may be tricky to accomplish if it is during your opponent's move, as they may move quickly enough to break the repetition before you can make the claim.
