DraftKings launches online sportsbook in Kansas

DraftKings, as the contracting counterparty of BHCMC, LLC, manager of Boot Hill Casino & Resort, should be launching its online sportsbook in Kansas on September 1, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals. Upon launch, Kansas would become the 18th U.S. state in which DraftKings offers its online sportsbook and adds to DraftKings’ total sports betting footprint that spans 19 U.S. states and Ontario, Canada, inclusive of retail-only jurisdictions.

 “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to deliver our award-wining products to Kansas sports fans for the 2022 NFL and college football seasons," said Matt Kalish, DraftKings Co-Founder and President, DraftKings North America. “It’s an especially exhilarating time of year, and we are excited for eligible Kansans to be able to get in on all the action through DraftKings’ seamless and responsible sports betting experience.”

Following the launch in Kansans, eligible fans will be able to access the latest betting markets on the DraftKings Sportsbook app available in iOS and Android. In addition, players will be able to enjoy DraftKings’s first blockchain-based gaming franchise, Reignmakers Football, which recently revealed Player Card NFTs for fans to collect and play within new fantasy contests all NFL season long.
