DraftKings has further expanded its presence in Puerto Rico with the launch of its online sportsbook.
The launch follows the recent opening of the DraftKings retail sportsbook at Foxwoods El San Juan Casino last November.
DraftKings’ online sportsbook is currently only available to residents of Puerto Rico, and new customers must register in person at Foxwoods El San Juan Casino before accessing the online offering.
“Puerto Rico has a passionate sports community and launching our online sportsbook allows us to meet fans where they are,” said Gregory Karamitis, DraftKings executive vice president and general manager of sports. “With retail already live at Foxwoods El San Juan Casino, mobile represents the next step in expanding the DraftKings experience across the island – giving eligible local customers a seamless, exciting, and responsible way to engage with sports.”
Shares in Draftkings Inc (NASDAQ:DKNG) closed 2.55 per cent higher at $22.94 per share in New York Wednesday.
