DraftKings Racing has expanded to six additional US states: Florida, Louisiana, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Oregon. The move comes ahead of the Kentucky Derby and follows the launches in Delaware, New Mexico, and Rhode Island earlier in April.
More jurisdictions are expected to go live this year. DK Horse will remain available as a standalone app in states where it currently operates and will be phased out as DraftKings Racing is introduced in each jurisdiction.
DraftKings Racing has a shared wallet and integrated promotional tools. While it is accessible within the operator’s sportsbook app, it operates under separate regulatory frameworks. Availability varies by state, with certain jurisdictions offering horse racing independent of sports betting.
Johnny Avello, director of race and sports operations at DraftKings, said: “DraftKings is committed to delivering the best fan experience across sports, and we’re proud to continue elevating that experience for horse racing with DraftKings Racing.
“DraftKings Racing is designed for speed and simplicity, offering a seamless and powerful way to engage with the sport’s biggest moments. By integrating horse racing directly into the DraftKings Sportsbook app, customers can wager across sports in one place with a shared wallet — creating a more connected and streamlined experience.”
