DraftKings is gearing up to introduce its sportsbook to Washington DC, following a strategic market access deal with DC United. This move will extend DraftKings’ reach to 29 jurisdictions across North America.
DraftKings North America President Matt Kalish expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, noting the rapid growth of legalized sports betting in recent years. “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 DC, DraftKings looks forward to expanding its presence in more than half the country,” he said.
Kalish also praised the collaborative efforts that made this launch possible. “We would like to thank the DC Council for creating a path to bring DraftKings’ top-rated sportsbook to the nation’s capital. Together with DC United, we look forward to delivering fans a best-in-class experience through our customer-friendly product,” he added.
DC United President of Business Operations Danita Johnson highlighted the significance of this partnership. She described DraftKings as an ideal partner for expanding sports betting options in DC. “With the DC Council’s recent decision to expand the world of sports betting in DC, we look forward to working with DraftKings to introduce their online sportsbook as another way for DC residents to bet in the city,” Johnson said.
She emphasized the goal of enhancing fan experiences. “Our goal is to always make every fan experience seamless, and this platform will help us to deliver on that promise,” she stated.
As DraftKings prepares for its DC debut, the company remains committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. This commitment will be integral to their operations as they continue to broaden their market presence.
