DraftKings Set to Launch Top-Rated Online Sportsbook in Vermont on January 11
oday, DraftKings Inc. announced plans to launch its top-rated online sportsbook in Vermont on January 11, 2024. Once live, Vermont will mark the 26th U.S. state, in addition to Ontario, Canada, in which DraftKings Sportsbook operates, further expanding the Boston-based operator’s presence to five of six New England states with its online sportsbook.
“As a Boston-based company, we are thrilled for the opportunity to further expand in the New England region and provide Vermont with access to safe and legal sports betting,” said Matt Kalish, President, DraftKings North America. “This is an exciting time of year with the NFL Playoffs about to kick off, and Vermonters will now have the opportunity to engage with their favorite sports on our industry-leading DraftKings Sportsbook app.”
With a customer-friendly interface and award-winning customer experience, beginning January 11, 2024, the DraftKings Sportsbook app will provide eligible sports fans in Vermont access to bet on professional sports and sporting events including the Super Bowl, as well as can’t-miss promotions and offerings, like same-game and cross-sport parlays, in-game betting, special odds boosts and more.
Additionally, DraftKings has a firm commitment to serving the communities in which it operates, recently committing $25,000 to the Arbor Day Foundation to support a large-scale reforestation planting project throughout Vermont. The initiative will take place this upcoming spring, assisting the Vermont Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program in planting 3,500 trees to help form “riparian buffers” along streams and rivers to improve water quality flowing to Lake Champlain.
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 creating inclusive and responsible pathways for people to build, create, imagine and innovate through the DraftKings S.E.R.V.E.S. program.

Any guest who books a room at the Plaza Hotel & Casino for check-in prior to Dec. 31, 2025, via the Stay for a Cause hotel package will have 20 percent of the room rate automatically donated to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. Established in 1966, the nonprofit organization helps provide healing and hope to abused and at-risk children in Southern Nevada.
“The Plaza has previously held toy drives to benefit St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, and we wanted to expand our partnership this year,” said Gary Vickery, vice president of operations at the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “With Stay for a Cause, guests can enjoy a great vacation at the Plaza and make a difference in our community at the same time.”
“We are grateful to the Plaza for their generous support through this innovative program,” said St. Jude’s Ranch for Children CEO Dr. Christina Vela. “By choosing to stay at the Plaza, guests are not just enjoying the wonderful accommodations, but also contributing to providing healing and hope to abused, neglected, exploited, and/or homeless children. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Plaza and all the guests who choose to make their stay count for a greater cause.”
