Draftkings Inc.

A digital sports entertainment company, DraftKings lets fans build daily fantasy lineups from real athletes, then expanded into online sports betting and casino games after states began legalizing wagering in 2018. Three former marketing executives launched it in 2012 from a spare bedroom in a Boston suburb, naming it "DraftKings" because users "draft" their own teams and rule them like kings. Today it runs its sportsbook and betting app in dozens of states, letting everyday fans bet on games from their phones.
