Posted on by admin

If you’re in New Jersey, you have access to DraftKings Sportsbook. Here’s a rundown of where you can find DraftKings for sports betting now and in the future.

  1. The combination of DraftKings and SBTech establishes one of the largest online sports betting, iGaming and daily fantasy sports platforms, according to the DEAC board of directors in the prospectus. Median estimates suggest $18 billion in online sports betting revenue at maturity and $21 billion in mature iGaming revenue for the US.
  2. DraftKings is a global sports technology and entertainment company whose Daily Fantasy Sports contests are governed by both federal and state law. Federal law specifically exempts fantasy.
  3. Sports betting specialist DraftKings is IBD Stock Of The Day, as it breaks out on news that Ark Next Generation Internet ETF started a notable position.DKNG stock jumped past a buy point.

DraftKings is a global sports technology and entertainment company whose Daily Fantasy Sports contests are governed by both federal and state law. Federal law specifically exempts fantasy sports contests from the prohibitions of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, or UIGEA.

Here are the states where you can find DraftKings:

DraftKings in NJ

The well-dressed DraftKings NJ sports betting platform operates under the license of Resorts Atlantic City, but it’s available across web and mobile channels statewide. As long as you’re in the state, you can wager.

The product is perhaps more polished and market-ready than we expected from DraftKings. The company was, after all, solely a daily fantasy sports outfit until May 2018.

It was the first online sportsbook in the state and currently is the biggest in terms of revenue.

DraftKings in West Virginia

DraftKings Sportsbook announced a deal in December 2018 to operate WV sports betting via mobile. DraftKings partnered with Penn National Gaming, which runs Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.

DraftKings Sportsbook went live in WV in August, around the same time as rival FanDuel launched. While West Virginia is a relatively small state, it’s still important for DraftKings to expand everywhere it can.

DraftKings in Indiana

The third state for the DraftKings Sportsbook app was Indiana. It was one of the first two sportsbook apps to go live in the state on Oct. 3.

Indiana is not a huge state, but it’s notable for its proximity to several large cities where sports betting is not yet legal, including Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville.

Land-based DraftKings Sportsbooks

There are currently two land-based DraftKings Sportsbooks in the US:

  • DraftKings Sportsbook at Resorts, in New Jersey
  • DraftKings Sportsbook at Scarlet Pearl Resort in Mississippi.

States that may have DraftKings Sportsbooks in the future

Potential for growth is capped in the short term, however. While FanDuel has racked up market-access partnerships throughout the country, DraftKings is still pretty lean on that front.

Here’s the list of states in which you might see the next DraftKings Sportsbook pop up, and it’s not a very long one:

New York

Apart from NJ, New York is the only other state in which DraftKings has a confirmed point of entry. It announced a partnership with Del Lago in July 2018 that covers both retail and online/mobile operations. If that materializes, Del Lago could end up christening the first on-property, DraftKings-branded sportsbook in the country.

That’s all well and good, except NY sports betting is not yet in place. Voters approved the activity for four commercial casinos in 2013, but regulators have lagged on implementation. What’s more: that existing law excludes online/mobile wagering, so a new one likely will be required before the DraftKings Sportsbook app launches in NY.

Recent rumblings create some cause for optimism on the retail side, but the timeline for NY sports betting is still very much up in the air.

Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is a little closer to becoming an online sports betting state than its neighbor. Full legalization came late in 2017, and launch arrived in November 2018.

DraftKings figures to be a candidate to partner with one of the PA casinos, but it would have limited ability to fully leverage its brand. State regulations permit each casino to deploy just a single online/mobile platform displaying its own logo. Each may only use one sports betting partner.

About half of the 13 prospective licensees are off the board, it appears:

  • SugarHouse/Rivers: Owned by Rush Street, which has a partnership with Kambi. That’s DraftKings’ supplier, too, but there’s no indication it is part of the deal.
  • Parx: Recently announced that it will use GAN to power its operations. It works with Kambi as well.
  • Presque Isle/Lady Luck: Both will soon be operated by Churchill Downs, which has established a partnership with SBTech.
  • Harrah’s: Parent company Caesars has an NJ partnership with Scientific Games that figures to carry across the border.

It’s also impossible to pin down a timeline for the launch of online PA sports betting, but it’s coming sometime in 2019.

Nevada

This one could be interesting, since Nevada is one of the few states in which daily fantasy sports is explicitly prohibited as a skill game. DraftKings is a sports betting company now, though, an activity that is very much legal and thriving in the Silver State.

It has generally seemed unlikely that DraftKings would pursue Nevada sports betting, but nothing is a given anymore. The company recently announced plans to open an office in Las Vegas, which at least draws a raise of the eyebrow. DraftKings wouldn’t pay for a license to offer DFS as a “gambling” game, but might it do so in the world of widespread sports betting?

It’s also worth noting that CG Technologies is being pushed out of the Nevada market amid a string of gaming violations. Either it or the many sportsbooks it serves will need to find a replacement supplier, and a shiny new option has just become available courtesy of DraftKings.

File that last bit of evidence in the circumstantial folder.

Other candidates

Any state with legal sports betting should be considered a candidate for a DraftKings Sportsbook, really. In this post-PASPA world, company executives have made no secrets about their ambitions.

Rhode Island and Delaware have both legalized sports betting, too. Neither operates mobile betting, however, although it is legal in Delaware. The industries in both states are administered by state-chosen suppliers under the lottery’s direction.

It looks like the states broken down above represent the complete list of candidates for DraftKings Sportsbook in the short term. Despite its early lead, it’s even possible that it could still be stuck in only NJ and Mississippi when the calendar ticks over.

At least they have Barkley.

We are less than 72 hours away from Super Bowl LV.

This year’s dance features the reigning champion, Kansas City Chiefs (16-2), against the underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers (14-5).

No team has ever hosted a Super Bowl on their home field. But we all should have known that if anyone were going to make that happen, it would be Bucs quarterback (QB) Tom Brady.

In terms of sports betting traffic, the Super Bowl is the single most bet-on sporting event of the year. Why? Because there are so many bets to choose from. PlayUSA has even officially projected at least $500 million will be wagered on the game in legal betting markets across the US. You can bet on everything from the Gatorade color and the coin flip outcome to more traditional things like point spread and moneyline.

This year, DraftKings Sportsbook (who will be airing two Super Bowl commercials) released a list of over 700 prop bets with more expected to be added before kickoff.

After scrolling through the list, here are some fun Super Bowl prop bets that have my attention.

#5 Total touchdown passes thrown: Over 2.5 Tom Brady +130

This is the legend Tom Brady we are talking about. To outduel Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, Brady will have to (and easily can) throw more than two touchdowns. But Bucs Head Coach (HC), Bruce Arians, is no fool. If you get caught in a touchdown frenzy with Kansas City, you will lose.

Arians knows the only thing that matters is the end score. If Tampa Bay can beat the high-powered Chiefs without throwing a single touchdown, they would take that any time.

#4 Player to score at least 2 touchdowns: Travis Kelce +250

As mentioned, this is Kansas City. This team loves to throw the ball. They average over 312 passing yards a game and score over 29 points a game.

With those figures in mind, enter Chiefs tight-end (TE) Travis Kelce, arguably the best TE in football. In his two playoff games, Kelce has 21 catches for 227 yards and 3 TD. His numbers dwarf all other players except teammate Tyreek Hill.

You can expect Kelce to be a favorite of Mahomes during Sunday’s game. However, catching a single touchdown in a Super Bowl is challenging. Catching two, damn near impossible. No MVP in the Super Bowl era has ever caught more than one TD in the big game. And that includes Jerry Rice, Lynn Swann, and Fred Biletnikoff.

But if anyone has the ability to do it, it’s Kelce.

A sleeper prop-bet: Player to score at least 2 touchdowns: Leonard Fournette +550

When the Bucs get inside the 10-yeard line, this bruising running-back (RB) is getting the football.

#3 Player position MVP winner: Running Back +800

Since 1998, the Most Valuable Player award has been a QB award. This is except for a handful of WR’s, three line-backers (Von Miller, Malcolm Smith, Ray Lewis), and a single corner-back, Dexter Jackson.

Draftkings Sportsbook California Rules

The last RB to win the award was Terrell Davis. In Super Bowl 32, he had 30 carries for 157 yards and 3 TDs helping lead the Denver Broncos to a 31-24 win over the Green Bay Packers.

This years game will feature three high profile RB’s. Kansas City has standout rookie, Clyde Edwards-Helaire who ran for 803 yards and 4 TDs this season.

Tampa Bay has a pair of weapons in second-year back Ronald Jones II (978 yards/7 TDs) and Lenard Fournette (367 yards/6 TDs).

Perhaps this is the year when a running-back finally reclaims the award. In my opinion, these three guys have the ability to do it.

#2 To score first & team to win: Mike Evans +2200

Tom Brady may be the de facto leader of the Buccaneers, but Mike Evans has been the glue of the offense since he was selected in the first round of the 2014 draft.

He’s one of three players in Sunday’s game with over 1,000 receiving yards in the regular season and the only player on Tampa Bay with double-digit touchdowns (13).

Evans will be a key focal point of the Bucs on Sunday and has the ability to score first and score big. The only teams to beat Brady in the Super Bowl are NFC East teams, so there is a good chance the Bucs come out on top.

A sleeper prop bet: To score first & team to win: Tyreek Hill +900

Hill is in a class of his own. He’s the only player I’ve seen catch a 5-yard screen pass and take it 85 yards for a touchdown. He has the ability to score anytime he touches the ball and tends to be the main target of Mahomes. Hill can score first, and the Chiefs can win this game.

#1 To score: Scotty Miller +475

I know it, Kansas City knows it, everybody knows it! When Bucs WR Scotty Miller is on the field, something magical is about to happen.

Draftkings Sportsbook California Reddit

Miller is the pint-sized 6th round pick out of Bowling Green. To put it simply, Miller is a workhorse. He may be 5’9,” but he plays like he’s 6’2″.

He reminds me of a younger Julian Edelman who, if you recall, was MVP of Super Bowl 53.

The Bucs tend to draw up these magic plays for Miller. In the postseason, Miller has only 4 catches for 80 yards and 1TD. However, two of those catches were over 20+ yards, with his longest reception being 39 yards.

The only other Bucs WR with more catches longer than 20 yards, Mike Evans.

I like Miller, and I expect some magic from him on Sunday.
