DraftKings Plans Australian Expansion In Second Quarter

By Eric Fisher 4.18.2018

DraftKings plans to expand to Australia later in the second quarter, extending an ongoing int'l push for the Boston-based daily fantasy company. DraftKings has been granted a government license by Australia’s Northern Territory Racing Commission, representing the eighth country where the company’s games will be available and DraftKings' fifth int'l expansion in the last two years. Industry estimates point to more than 1.6 million traditional fantasy sports players in Australia. “Australia is an important market for DraftKings, as it combines devoted sports fans with sophisticated, tech-savvy consumers,” said DraftKings co-Founder & CEO Jason Robins.
