DraftKings Sportsbook App Brings Online Gaming to New Jersey
The game never ends with the DraftKings Sportsbook app! Whether you want the experience of playing a casino floor game from the palm of your hand or betting on your favorite NFL team or MMA fighter, the new app ensures you’ve got skin in the game.
Available for download on both Android and iOS devices, this licensed NJ online casino is now featured under the casino tab, where you’ll find easy-to-play games like blackjack, roulette, poker, classic slots and more. You can also skip that dark, smoky room for old men and place your bets online for most major sports: baseball, football, hockey, golf and even cricket.
Within the app you have live access to professional dealers 24/7 in the DK Studio, where you can play one-on-one, with a group of friends, or you hit the slots. Most major credit cards are accepted and you’re betting with real money. DraftKings' online casino is licensed by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) and you can be assured that your account is safe and secure.
The best part is that it all connects to your Daily Fantasy Sports account so everything you need is in one location. Simply switch back to your fantasy tab to form leagues with your friends, family or coworkers, draft the team of your dreams and rack up points and bragging rights.
“This is an exciting time for online gambling in New Jersey,” said Bob Rains, a growth marketing consultant working with DraftKings. “It was only a little more than a year ago that DraftKings became the first legal online sports betting platform in New Jersey, which operates alongside its retail operations in other states. Our dream is to expand to other states as regulations permit.”
DraftKings is the leader in sports entertainment technology and cares deeply about its clients playing safely, securely, responsibly, and knowing when to stop. Currently, the DraftKings Sportsbook app can only be used by adults 21 or older in New Jersey.

ABOUT DRAFTKINGS
It all started with a deep love for fantasy sports. Jason Robins, Paul Liberman, and Matt Kalish thought season-long fantasy was great. But daily fantasy could be better. They were friends and coworkers. Soon they’d be cofounders.
Within a few years, DraftKings, the company they’d launch from a spare bedroom in Paul’s Watertown, Mass. apartment, was an internationally known brand on its way to forever revolutionizing how fans engaged with sports. Since the daily fantasy sports platform launched in 2012, DraftKings has grown, and grown fast. Now it offers an immersive sports entertainment experience. Across 13 professional sports. In 8 countries.
In August 2018 came DraftKings Sportsbook, the first legal, mobile, and online sports betting platform to launch in New Jersey—the first state outside of Nevada to pass sports betting legislation. DraftKings Sportsbook now operates in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, and West Virginia. Some mobile. Some retail. Allowing players to engage in betting on major U.S. and international sports.
