DraftKings Sportsbook Is Launching Today in New Jersey

Published:
DraftKings is soft-launching its sportsbook in New Jersey today, according to multiple reports.
DraftKings, a prominent daily fantasy operator entering the sports betting space, announced Wednesday that it is opening registration for its mobile sports betting app in New Jersey and will begin with an invite-only trial period. Participants in the trial will be able to bet, win and lose real money. DraftKings did not give a definitive length of the trial but said that it is the final step before receiving approval by New Jersey Division of Gaming to officially launch the sportsbook in the state.
This jumps over the MGM announcement that they would be live by the end of the week.
The key phrasing here, however, is “invite-only,” so it might be days or weeks until it’s available to the public.
DraftKings Sportsbook will be backed by Resorts in New Jersey. For a list of all sports betting sites, check out our New Jersey sports betting page.
We will have a full review of the DraftKings Sportsbook as soon as it goes live.
