In a thrilling development for sports enthusiasts in Vermont, DraftKings has officially announced the launch of its highly anticipated online sportsbook in the Green Mountain State. The much-anticipated opening day is set for this day, January 11, 2024, allowing Vermonters to engage with the cutting-edge DraftKings Sportsbook app ahead of the Super Bowl excitement scheduled for February 11, 2024.
Vermont now proudly stands as the 26th state in the United States to host DraftKings’ acclaimed sportsbook, marking a significant milestone as the fifth New England state to embrace the platform. Despite the official opening day being a month away, the DraftKings Sportsbook app is already available for download, offering users an early glimpse into the excitement that awaits.
Having previously launched its online sportsbook and iGaming products in Ontario on May 18, 2022, DraftKings continues its strategic expansion, further solidifying its presence as a leader in the sports betting industry.
Matt Kalish, DraftKings North America President, expressed the company’s excitement about the Vermont expansion, stating, “As a Boston-based company, we are thrilled for the opportunity to further expand in the New England region and provide Vermont with access to safe and legal sports betting. This is an exciting time of year with the NFL Playoffs about to kick off, and Vermonters will now have the opportunity to engage with their favourite sports on our industry-leading DraftKings Sportsbook app.”
The DraftKings Sportsbook app offers customers a dynamic platform to place wagers on a diverse array of leagues and tournaments, including the much-anticipated Super Bowl. Users can explore various markets and wager types, including same-game and cross-sport parlays, in-game betting, and special odds boosts, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
DraftKings has also participated in various community events in Vermont as part of its pre-launch preparations. This includes a $25,000 donation to the Arbor Day Foundation, which administers large-scale reforestation programs throughout the province.
While Vermont revels in the arrival of the DraftKings Sportsbook, the company continues its nationwide expansion, having recently launched in North Carolina just a few days ago. This strategic growth reaffirms DraftKings’ commitment to providing top-notch sports betting experiences to audiences across the United States.
