DraftKings Launches Mobile Sports Betting in Virginia
January 24 2021 - 12:22PM
DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) today announced the launch of
DraftKings Sportsbook in Virginia, marking the 12th state in which
the top rated mobile and online sportsbook is available. Customers
in Virginia will now be able to place bets on a number of markets
across professional and collegiate sports using the DraftKings
made-in-America digital sportsbook app.
“Just in time for Super Bowl LV, we are thrilled to bring the
DraftKings sports betting experience to Virginia with an abundance
of betting options for fans,” said Jason Robins, co-founder and
CEO, DraftKings. “With our customer-first approach, we hope to be
the sportsbook of choice for Virginians who enjoy having skin in
the game.”
Ahead of Super Bowl LV, DraftKings is offering all customers a
Double Your Money opportunity on any team to score a touchdown.
Beyond Super Bowl LV, the cutting-edge mobile technology of
DraftKings Sportsbook will provide sports bettors in the
Commonwealth of Virginia the opportunity to bet on more than 250
unique leagues including popular professional sports: baseball,
football, golf, hockey, boxing, soccer, tennis, motorsports and
basketball. Collegiate sports are also available, with the
exception of in-state college teams and college prop bets.
DraftKings Sportsbook technology keeps consumer information safe
and secure and provides built-in responsible gaming measures like
time and deposit limits.
A consumer research study by DraftKings indicated that Virginia
sports fans are most likely to bet on the NFL, followed by the NBA
and college football. That same study found the Washington Football
Team and the Dallas Cowboys are the two most favored NFL teams in
Virginia, while the LA Lakers, Chicago Bulls, and Washington
Wizards are the most popular NBA teams. Prior to Sunday’s NFL
Conference Championship games, DraftKings is offering all customers
an additional Double Your Money opportunity by betting on any of
the four teams playing to score a touchdown.
DraftKings’ sportsbook and daily fantasy products are available
via iOS and Android here.
