DraftKings, a renowned name in the sports betting industry, is poised to launch an innovative online sports betting app in the heart of Kentucky on September 28, 2023.
This monumental event marks a new era in sports betting for the Bluegrass state and exemplifies the growth of legalized sports betting in this country.
Speaking to SBC’s America, on the upcoming launch of online sports betting in Kentucky, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins said
“We are very excited the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission recently set a target launch date of Sept. 28, 2023 for online sports betting, which is sooner than we previously anticipated. As a result, we expect 20 million of additional revenue in 2023 and a headwind of 30 million to 2023 adjusted EBITDA,” he said.

Although it remains to be announced, DraftKings is potentially setting the stage for collaboration with prominent Kentucky-based venues such as Churchill Downs or Kentucky Downs.
These partnerships could herald a new level of integration between technology and traditional sports betting venues.
Kentucky’s new legislation allows for up to 27 licensed operators, providing a substantial opportunity for leading names in the industry.
