DraftKings has announced it plans to launch its latest sportsbook in Kansas on 1 September, just in time for the new NFL season.
As the NFL and college football seasons begin to get underway, DraftKings has acted promptly in immediately making its sportsbook available on launch day for sports betting in the recently opened up state.
The offering is subject to regulatory approval, but this is likely to pass as DraftKings currently offers a sportsbook in 17 other states within the US.
Kansas officially signed sports betting into law on 12 May, following approval by the Kansas state legislator earlier this year; 1 September was announced as the official launch date of sports betting, with DraftKings, BetMGM and FanDuel all seeking approval to begin taking consumer bets on the big day.
