DraftKings today announced plans to launch its online sportsbook in Kansas tomorrow on September 1, 2022, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals.

Ahead of one of the busiest times of the year for sport betting activity with the start of the 2022 NFL and college football seasons, eligible sports fans in Kansas will have the opportunity to place a variety of bets through DraftKings’ online sportsbook, including its signature same-game parlay offers, player props, special odds boost selections and more.

Upon launch, Kansas would become the 18^th U.S. state in which DraftKings offers its online sportsbook and adds to DraftKings’ total sports betting footprint that spans 19 U.S. states and Ontario, Canada, inclusive of retail-only jurisdictions.

DraftKings, as the contracting counterparty of BHCMC, LLC, manager of Boot Hill Casino & Resort, will, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, offer eligible customers in Kansas the opportunity to place legal and regulated bets across professional and collegiate sporting events and have more “skin in the game” with access to various DraftKings offerings.
