Published

on

 

DraftKings Inc. has announced its intention to launch its top-rated online sportsbook in Washington D.C., pending licensure and regulatory approvals. The expected arrival into the nation’s capital follows a market access agreement with D.C. United, which would pave the way for the digital sports entertainment and gaming company to operate in The District of Columbia. Once live, Washington D.C. would become the 29th jurisdiction in North America in which the DraftKings Sportsbook operates.

“It has been incredible to see legalized sports betting grow rapidly over the past six years, and with plans to launch our online sportsbook in D.C., DraftKings looks forward to expanding its presence in more than half the country. We would like to thank the D.C. Council for creating a path to bring DraftKings’ top-rated sportsbook to the nation’s capital. Together with D.C. United, we look forward to delivering fans a best-in-class experience through our customer-friendly product,” said Matt Kalish, President, DraftKings North America.

Washington D.C. is home to professional sports teams across the MLB, MLS, NBA, WNBA, NWSL and NHL and soon, eligible sports fans will have access to a wide variety of betting markets and key offerings such as same-game parlays, in-game betting, special odds boosts and more on DraftKings online sportsbook.

“With the D.C. Council’s recent decision to expand the world of sports betting in D.C., we look forward to working with DraftKings to introduce their online sportsbook as another way for D.C. residents to bet in the city. Our goal is to always make every fan experience seamless, and this platform will help us to deliver on that promise,” said Danita Johnson, President of Business Operations for D.C. United.

Responsible gaming is one of DraftKings’ top priorities and a core part of the company’s mission. As a safe, regulated sportsbook, DraftKings is committed to offering robust consumer protection standards. Available tools and resources include deposit and time limits, access to responsible gaming resource materials, cool off and self-exclusion features and “My Stat Sheet” – an innovative feature to track personalized gaming statistics and insights.

As an active member of the American Gaming Association (AGA), DraftKings is committed to promoting the AGA’s “Have A Game Plan. Bet Responsibly” public service campaign, which educates customers on responsible gaming best practices, such as establishing and adhering to a budget and only engaging with legal, regulated operators. DraftKings is committed to providing a safe and fun gaming environment that all customers can enjoy responsibly in states where sports betting is legal. A core part of the company’s mission, DraftKings has robust consumer protection standards on its platforms and provides consumers with responsible gaming tools and resources while leveraging advanced technology to detect signs of potentially problematic behavior.
