DraftKings expands partnership with Penn National Gaming

1 August 2019

(PRESS RELEASE) -- DraftKings Inc. today announced an extension of its market access partnership with Penn National Gaming, Inc., which will enable the company to offer its mobile and online sportsbook product in additional U.S. states, subject to passage of applicable laws and the parties securing necessary gaming licenses.

“With dozens of states having already legalized sports betting or poised to do so in the near future, this expanded partnership ensures DraftKings is positioned to quickly enter new markets,” said Ezra Kucharz, DraftKings chief business officer. “Penn National Gaming brings tremendous resources, people and experience to the partnership and, as we finalized the terms of the deal, it was abundantly clear there is a real synergy between our two companies that bodes very well for the future.”

The expansion builds upon the two companies’ earlier West Virginia market access deal, which was announced in December 2018. DraftKings’ additional market access is exclusive to Penn National Gaming across certain states in which Penn National Gaming operates casino properties.

“DraftKings is a clear leader in the burgeoning sports betting industry, and Penn National is excited to be extending our partnership with Jason Robins and his team,” said Jon Kaplowitz, SVP Interactive for Penn National Gaming. “We believe that DraftKings is well positioned to continue its success in the years to come.”

Since launch, DraftKings has accepted more than 21 million bets and paid out over $650 million in winnings to customers. As the sports betting landscape continues to spread across the country, sports fans who enjoy having ‘skin in the game’ will be able to see first-hand what makes DraftKings a top choice for online and mobile betting.
