Founded in 2012 by co-founders Jason Robins, Matthew Kalish and Paul Liberman, DraftKings began as a daily fantasy sports provider and rapidly expanded into regulated sports betting following legislative changes in the United States. The company went public in 2020 through a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company and has since continued to grow its footprint by securing gaming licenses and partnerships with sports leagues, teams and media organizations.
DraftKings offers several core products, including its Fantasy Sports contest platform, Sportsbook for real-money wagering on professional and collegiate sports, and Casino for slots, table games and live dealer experiences. The platform underscores responsible gaming practices and employs risk management protocols, age verification and self-exclusion tools to promote a safe and compliant gaming environment.
Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, DraftKings serves customers across numerous U.S. states where sports betting is legal, as well as select international markets such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Under the leadership of CEO Jason Robins alongside a management team experienced in technology, finance and sports partnerships, DraftKings continues to pursue product innovation, market expansion and strategic collaborations within the global sports betting and iGaming landscape.
