DraftKings’ UK plans don’t include sportsbook, FanDuel acquires numberFire analytics

DraftKings is launching its London office, but don’t expect the daily fantasy sports operator to open a sportsbook anytime soon.

“We know what we do, and that’s daily fantasy,” DraftKings CEO Jason Robins told Bloomberg Business.

DrafKings recently received a gambling license to operate in the UK. The new London office—manned by around 20 staff members—will open by the end of this year.

Former PartyPoker boss Jeffrey Haas has been tapped to manage the UK operations as DraftKing’s new chief international officer. Haas left Bwin.party digital entertainment in July, leaving hints of a “new adventure.”
