DraftKings plans prediction-market launch in non-sports-betting states
DraftKings was reported to be preparing a prediction-market product for launch in December or January, limited to states without online sports betting. Truist analyst Barry Jonas said company leaders expected the product to have shorter payback periods and higher margins than online sports betting, with limited promotional allowances.
The planned state-limited product could affect DraftKings’ market strategy and the competitive landscape for online sports betting.
