January 10 2024 - 7:30AM
Today, DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) announced plans to launch its
top-rated online sportsbook in Vermont on January 11, 2024. Once
live, Vermont will mark the 26th U.S. state, in addition to
Ontario, Canada, in which DraftKings Sportsbook operates, further
expanding the Boston-based operator’s presence to five of six New
England states with its online sportsbook.
“As a Boston-based company, we are thrilled for the opportunity
to further expand in the New England region and provide Vermont
with access to safe and legal sports betting,” said Matt Kalish,
President, DraftKings North America. “This is an exciting time of
year with the NFL Playoffs about to kick off, and Vermonters will
now have the opportunity to engage with their favorite sports on
our industry-leading DraftKings Sportsbook app.”
With a customer-friendly interface and award-winning customer
experience, beginning January 11, 2024, the DraftKings Sportsbook
app will provide eligible sports fans in Vermont access to bet on
professional sports and sporting events including the Super Bowl,
as well as can’t-miss promotions and offerings, like same-game and
cross-sport parlays, in-game betting, special odds boosts and more.
Available promotions can be viewed on the DraftKings Sportsbook
promotions page here.
Additionally, DraftKings has a firm commitment to serving the
communities in which it operates, recently committing $25,000 to
the Arbor Day Foundation to support a large-scale reforestation
planting project throughout Vermont. The initiative will take place
this upcoming spring, assisting the Vermont Conservation Reserve
Enhancement Program in planting 3,500 trees to help form “riparian
buffers” along streams and rivers to improve water quality flowing
to Lake Champlain.
