DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) announced today plans to launch its
top-rated mobile sportsbook in Kentucky on September 28, 2023. Last
month, DraftKings reached an agreement with ECL Corbin, LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of ECL Entertainment, LLC, dba The Mint
Gaming Hall at Cumberland (“Williamsburg”) and Cumberland Run
(“Corbin”) giving the digital sports entertainment and gaming
company access to operate online sports betting in the
Commonwealth.
Beginning September 28, 2023, eligible customers
in Kentucky will have the opportunity to place bets through
DraftKings’ online sportsbook across collegiate and professional
sports, including the NCAA, NFL, MLB, NBA and more. DraftKings
offers Kentucky customers access to place a variety of bets, such
as same-game parlays, in-game betting options, player props,
special odds boost selections, and more.
“Kentucky marks the 24th Jurisdiction overall
where DraftKings is live, and we are thrilled to have the
opportunity to deliver sports fans across Kentucky with our safe
and legal mobile DraftKings Sportsbook app,” said Matt Kalish,
President, DraftKings North America. “It’s an exciting time of year
with the NFL and college football seasons currently underway, and
we look forward to being the ultimate host, providing customers
with a seamless and enjoyable sports betting experience.”
DraftKings has teamed up with popular Kentucky
Sports Radio (“KSR”) host Matt Jones ahead of launching in the
Commonwealth. To celebrate the occasion, Jones will be hosting his
show live from The Mint Gaming Hall Cumberland in Williamsburg and
placing a ceremonial first bet via the DraftKings Sportsbook
app.
“I am excited to team up with DraftKings and
their top-rated sportsbook to deliver KSR listeners and sports fans
across Kentucky with engaging content and the latest DraftKings
offerings,” said Kentucky Sports Radio Host Matt Jones. “We at KSR
wanted to make sure that we were working with the best company for
those eligible to wager in Kentucky, and I am ecstatic that we have
done just that. We are just kicking things off in Kentucky and
looking forward to celebrating more milestones with
DraftKings.”
In addition to its online sportsbook, Kentucky
sports bettors can place wagers in person at the newly opened
DraftKings Sportsbook located at The Mint Gaming Hall Cumberland in
Williamsburg and Cumberland Run in Corbin.
“We’re excited that eligible Kentucky residents
will have expanded access to sports betting through DraftKings’
acclaimed online sportsbook,” said Henry Graffeo, General Manager
of The Mint Gaming Hall Cumberland and Cumberland Run. "I can’t
think of a more appropriate person than Matt Jones to make the
ceremonial online bet as mobile sports wagering comes to Kentucky
on September 28. Matt carries a voice that booms across the
Commonwealth and has championed bringing sports betting to Kentucky
for years. We invite his many fans to come out to The Mint Gaming
Hall Cumberland to listen to Matt and the KSR crew live, as well as
place a wager in person at our betting kiosks or on the DraftKings
Sportsbook app while enjoying a great sports viewing experience
with more than 50 televisions.”
