DraftKings Fantasy launched a new peer-to-peer daily fantasy sports product during game one of the NBA finals.

DraftKings Pick6 went live on Thursday, June 5, a new offering for its peer-to-peer DFS product. Users can now build lineups during live events and introduces new game dynamics for the market.

The new DFS product will also soon be available for MLB markets and will be available in the upcoming NFL season.

he new DFS product is available in 33 states throughout the U.S., plus Washington, D.C. The majority of states allow users who are 18 to play the new DFS product, while Alabama and Nebraska require users to be 19. Massachusetts and Arizona require customers to be 21. 

Users can build lineups of two to eight athletes from multiple teams and select whether or not they believe each will outperform their listed stat projection. 

“The Pick6 live product represents a major potential differentiator for us,” said Corey Gottlieb, chief product officer, DraftKings. “We’re leveraging our existing live sports data platform to offer robust in-game content availability that we believe will set us apart from competition. This creates hundreds of new moments for customers to enjoy the prizing upside that already makes Pick6 unique.”

New game dynamics such as “evolving multipliers, rolling entry, and live state tracking throughout the games” will be available in the Pick6 markets.
