DraftKings extends horseracing product to additional US states

(AsiaGameHub) –   DraftKings has rolled out its DraftKings Racing platform in Florida, Louisiana, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Oregon.

US.- DraftKings Racing is now live in six new US states: Florida, Louisiana, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Oregon. This expansion arrives just before the Kentucky Derby and follows the platform’s introduction in Delaware, New Mexico, and Rhode Island earlier this April.

Additional regions are slated for launch throughout the year. The DK Horse standalone app will continue to function in its current markets but will be retired as DraftKings Racing is rolled out in those respective areas.

DraftKings Racing features a unified wallet and integrated promotional features. Although it is accessible via the company’s sportsbook application, it functions under distinct regulatory guidelines. Availability is subject to state-specific regulations, with some regions providing horse racing services separate from traditional sports betting.

Johnny Avello, DraftKings’ director of race and sports operations, stated: “DraftKings is dedicated to providing a premier fan experience across all sports, and we are pleased to further enhance that for horse racing enthusiasts through DraftKings Racing.”

“DraftKings Racing is built for efficiency and ease of use, providing a smooth and robust method to participate in the sport’s premier events. By embedding horse racing into the DraftKings Sportsbook app, users can place bets on various sports from a single location using a shared wallet, resulting in a more cohesive and efficient user experience.”

DraftKings recently revealed plans to introduce its online sports betting and casino offerings in Alberta, coinciding with the start of regulated online gaming in the Canadian province on July 13. This expansion would mark the company’s second Canadian province for mobile sports betting and casino services, following its presence in Ontario.
