Leading American fantasy sports operator DraftKings seriously intends to capture the Australian market. In the second quarter of 2018, DraftKings will begin offering its services to DFS Australian players.
The company confirmed that it received a license from the Gaming Commission of the Northern Territory, according to which it is allowed to conduct DFS competitions in Australia. Australia becomes the eighth country in which punters can access such services from DraftKings.
Jason Robins, chief executive of DraftKings, commented: “Within the last few years, Australia’s burgeoning fantasy sports market has dramatically evolved, adding a variety of daily fantasy sports platforms, feeding the appetite of the many passionate sports fans who love getting closer to the teams, athletes and sports they love. Australia is an important market for DraftKings, as it combines devoted sports fans with sophisticated, tech-savvy consumers – exactly the kind of people who love competing on DraftKings”.
