About DraftKings Inc. Class A

DraftKings began in 2012 in daily fantasy sports. After a 2018 Supreme Court ruling allowed states to legalize online sports wagering, it expanded into online sports and casino gambling, where it generally holds the number-two or -three revenue share in the states where it competes. Following its 2025 predictive market launch, it is now live with online or retail sports betting in nearly all states and i-gaming in five states, with both products available to around 40% of Canada's population.
