May 28 2020 - 7:30AM
Today, DraftKings Sportsbook has announced it will offer
live-streamed sports games within its award-winning mobile app. In
collaboration with Sportradar, the global provider of sports data
and content, DraftKings Sportsbook will provide customers with a
seamless entertainment experience in one convenient location.
Pursuant to state regulations, DraftKings Sportsbook customers
who are logged in to their active accounts and have a wallet
balance above $0.00 will have the ability to live stream games
directly within the mobile app. At launch, DraftKings Sportsbook
geolocated customers will be able to live stream a number of
sports, including the Korea Baseball Organization and
Bundesliga Soccer (Division 1) across all jurisdictions except
Iowa. With over 100 different leagues in total on the
DraftKings platform and as additional sports leagues return to
resume play, DraftKings Sportsbook will explore potential expansion
opportunities of the live-stream functionality. “With a
focus on innovation, we are excited to further enhance our product
offerings to include a convenient, state-of-the-art experience
through live entertainment,” said Ezra Kucharz, chief business
officer at DraftKings. “At this difficult time for sports fans
across the nation, we have extended our partnership with Sportradar
to bring customers the best in-app experience from the safety and
comfort of their homes, and closer to the games and players they
love.”
Live streaming by legal sports betting operators has become
increasingly popular in Europe and around the world.
“We are delighted to expand our partnership with DraftKings to
include live streaming in their mobile app,” said Neale Deeley,
Vice President of US Sales and Gaming, Sportradar. “We share
DraftKings’ vision to deliver the best possible betting
entertainment experience to US bettors, and we look forward to
continuing to innovate together.”
