Everything a guy like JJGOLD said was not going to happen.
BOSTON, Mass. (June 1, 2018) – DraftKings Inc. and Resorts Casino Hotel announced today that DraftKings has chosen Resorts Casino Hotel to be its New Jersey licensing partner, satisfying an expected regulatory requirement for DraftKings to offer an online sports betting product in the state.
“We are excited to work with Resorts Hotel Casino to bring our new DraftKings sportsbook to New Jersey,” said Jason Robins, CEO and Co-Founder of DraftKings. “As a tech savvy and a long-term growth oriented organization, Resorts Hotel Casino aligns perfectly with our customer-focused, innovation culture.”
DraftKings has been preparing for several months to quickly enter the New Jersey market and begin offering sports fans a unique and innovative sports betting product, leveraging its industry-leading technology and over 10 million customers.
“We are at a pivotal moment in the development of sports betting in the U.S.,” said Morris Bailey, owner of Resorts Casino Hotel. “We are delighted to be able to have DraftKings utilize our gaming license in New Jersey. DraftKings continues to be at the forefront of sports entertainment innovation, and today’s announcement is the first step in being able to offer customers in New Jersey the most dynamic sports betting platform.”
Pending the adoption of state laws authorizing sports wagering, DraftKings plans to leverage its experience in developing popular daily fantasy sports contests to launch a sports betting app along with a web-based platform.
