DraftKings will soon enter Washington D.C.'s sports betting market, the operator announced Tuesday.
A projected launch date for the popular sports betting app has yet to be shared. Once live, DraftKings will be available in 29 states and jurisdictions across the country. DraftKings secured market access in Washington D.C. through a partnership with D.C. United.
“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 D.C., DraftKings looks forward to expanding its presence in more than half the country,” DraftKings North America president Matt Kalish said in a press release. “We would like to thank the D.C. Council for creating a path to bring DraftKings' top-rated sportsbook to the nation's capital. Together with D.C. United, we look forward to delivering fans a best-in-class experience through our customer-friendly product.”
Washington D.C. customers will have access to four sports betting apps once DraftKings launches. BetMGM, Caesars Sportsbook, and FanDuel are also live across the District. BetMGM and Caesars Sportsbook gained widespread mobile access in the District last week.
