DraftKings Overview

About DraftKings

DraftKings got its start in 2012 as an innovator in daily fantasy sports. Then, following a Supreme Court ruling in 2018 that allowed states to legalize online sports wagering, the company expanded into online sports and casino gambling, where it generally holds the number-two or -three revenue share position across states where it competes. DraftKings is now live with online or retail sports betting in 28 states and i-gaming in 5 states, with both products available to around 40% of Canada's population. In 2024, sports revenue was 61% of total sales, i-gaming 32%, and fantasy and lottery 7%. The company plans to launch a predictive event platform in late 2025 and also operates a non-fungible token commission-based marketplace and develops and licenses online gaming products.

DraftKings Funding Rounds

DateStageRaised FromRaisedValuationRev. MultipleDeal Summary
Dec-19Undisclosed stage10X Capital; Data Point Capital; Disruptive Ventures; Kombo Ventures$75M—DraftKings Inc. operates as a digital sports entertainment and gaming company, offering daily fantasy sports, online sports betting, and iGaming products. DraftKings revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $323 thousand. Historical quarterly revenue data shows growth from $286 thousand in Q3 2019 to $323 thousand in Q4 2019, with earlier quarters at $226 thousand for full year 2018. The company went public via a SPAC merger in 2020 and has since scaled significantly, with recent quarters showing billions in annual run-rate revenue. Enterprise value data pertains to later fiscal years averaging around 12.493 billion from 2021-2025.
Mar-17Series EAccomplice; Eldridge Industries; FirstMark$119M—DraftKings, a leading daily fantasy sports (DFS) platform, closed a Series E1 funding round in early March 2017 led by Eldridge Industries, raising over $100 million. The investment was confirmed by CEO Jason Robins, who highlighted Eldridge's expertise in media properties to support DraftKings' growth as a sports entertainment company. This round brought total funding to between $630 million and $800 million across multiple rounds since 2012, with prior investments including a $300 million Series D in 2015 led by 21st Century Fox and a $150-153 million Series E in September 2016 led by Revolution Growth. Eldridge Industries, headed by Todd Boehly (part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers), joined a roster of 17 investors that included sports leagues like MLB, NHL, and Major League Soccer, as well as 21st Century Fox and the Kraft Group. The funding came amid ongoing 50-50 merger talks with rival FanDuel, announced in November 2016 and pending federal regulatory approval. FanDuel was also seeking funding during this period. Sources noted DraftKings was previously valued at $2 billion following the 2015 round, with one analyst estimating a drop to around $1 billion after the 2016 investment. The company continued raising capital into later years, with investors like Eldridge and Accomplice participating in subsequent rounds.
Sep-16Series EAccomplice; Revolution; Revolution Growth$150M$1BDraftKings, a daily fantasy sports operator, closed a $150-153 million funding round in September 2016 led by Revolution Growth, the venture capital firm co-founded by Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis. Revolution Growth partner Steve Murray joined DraftKings' board as part of the deal. The round came during a significant downturn for the company following regulatory and legal challenges across multiple states regarding daily fantasy sports legalization, particularly intense battles in New York and other jurisdictions. The company's previous valuation of approximately $2 billion (set after a $300 million round in July 2015) had declined considerably, with Fox marking down its $160 million DraftKings investment by approximately 60 percent in February 2016 due to the regulatory headwinds. Industry analyst firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming estimated the September 2016 round was completed at a post-money valuation of approximately $1 billion, representing a significant reduction from the prior year. DraftKings' existing investors at the time included Robert Kraft, MLB, the NHL, MLS, Fox Sports, and other sports-affiliated investors, providing the company with valuable relationships across professional sports leagues. The funding timing was strategic, coming just ahead of the NFL season, which represented the most important revenue period for DraftKings and the broader daily fantasy sports industry.
Jul-15Series D21st Century Fox; Accomplice; DST Global; FirstMark; Kosinski Ventures; Major League Baseball Ventures; Major League Soccer; Melo7 Tech Partners; NHL; The Kraft Group; The Raine Group$300M$1BDraftKings, a daily fantasy sports platform founded in 2011, raised a $300 million Series D funding round in July 2015 led by 21st Century Fox (Fox Sports investing about $150-160 million for 11% stake), with participation from Accomplice, DST Global, FirstMark, Kosinski Ventures, Major League Baseball Ventures, Major League Soccer, Melo7 Tech Partners, NHL, The Kraft Group, and The Raine Group. The round valued the company at over $1.2 billion post-money, creating the second unicorn in the DFS space after FanDuel's similar raise. As part of the deal, DraftKings committed $250 million over a few years to advertising across Fox networks, including Fox Sports 1 and 18 regional networks, while retaining non-exclusivity. The funds were earmarked to build out web and mobile products, launch internationally, and pursue vertical expansion. Prior to this, DraftKings had raised $75 million and a total of $426 million including this round. Fox Sports' investment aligned with growing DFS popularity, with 41.5 million fantasy sports players in 2014 spending an average of $111 each. DraftKings generated $30 million in revenue in 2014, per the Wall Street Journal. The company operated high-stakes contests like the NFL 'Millionaire Maker' with $5 million prize pools. This round followed failed talks with Disney/ESPN, leading instead to an exclusive advertising deal making DraftKings ESPN's official DFS platform. Rival FanDuel raised $275 million shortly before, totaling $362.5 million raised.
Aug-14Series CAtlas Venture; Notable Capital; Redpoint; The Raine Group$41M—DraftKings, a Boston-based daily fantasy sports startup founded two years prior to this round, raised $41 million in Series C funding led by The Raine Group in August 2014. Existing investors Redpoint Ventures, GGV Capital, and Atlas Venture participated in the round, bringing the company's total outside financing to approximately $75 million. The company differentiated itself from traditional fantasy sports leagues by operating daily contests rather than season-long competitions, a model that generated strong user growth and engagement. At the time of the funding round, DraftKings demonstrated significant traction in the fantasy sports market. The company expected to pay out approximately $200 million in prizes during 2014, a substantial increase from its early operations. The company planned four monthly prizes of $1 million each during the NFL season, compared to a $100,000 grand prize offered during its first NFL season just two years earlier. This growth trajectory illustrated the rapid expansion of both the user base and the scale of competitions offered. The timing of the Series C investment was driven in part by preparation for the NFL season, though CEO Jason Robins indicated the company was not actively shopping for funding at the time. The investment terms offered by The Raine Group were favorable enough to justify the additional capital raise less than a year after the company had raised $25 million in November 2013. To further consolidate its market position, DraftKings executed acquisitions of competing platforms, including DraftStreet approximately one month before the Series C close and StarStreet at or around the time of the announcement.
Nov-13Series BAtlas Venture; Counterview Capital; Notable Capital; Redpoint$24M——
May-13Series AAccomplice; Atlas Venture; Counterview Capital$10M—DraftKings, a leading provider of daily fantasy sports online, closed a $7 million Series A funding round on May 6, 2013, led by Atlas Venture, with participation from Accomplice and Counterview Capital. The company offers contests in fantasy baseball, football, basketball, and hockey, launched on April 28, 2012, and by the first anniversary had become the top daily fantasy sports mobile app provider with over 1 million users across web and mobile platforms. For the 2013 fantasy baseball season, DraftKings planned to award over $20 million in cash prizes. DraftKings reported $4 million in revenue for 2013 from audited GAAP financials, alongside a $12 million operating loss. The funding supported perfecting the customer experience and marketing its online and mobile offerings. In the following months, the company achieved significant growth, tripling its customer base since August 2013 and seeing revenue grow 10x year-over-year ahead of a $24 million Series B in November 2013.
