Whatever you may think of spending real money on very unreal items, it’s hard to argue that the closest thing to a legitimate use case for digital collectibles isn’t digital sports cards. The most intriguing offering connected to the DraftKings sportsbook suite has to be their foray into the world of NFTs. Their next goal: cementing themselves as one of the best online sportsbooks currently available in Canada.

As of May 2022, Draft Kings Canada’s sportsbook and casino are open to Canadians based in Ontario for regulated, legal use.

With Canada outlining it’s path to allow regulated sports betting, and Ontario being the first to extend it beyond a public level, DraftKings was quick to pounce on the opportunity to get licenced in the country’s biggest province. DraftKings was the first mobile sportsbook to operate in New Jersey (the first state to legalize sports betting outside of Nevada) and since then, they have expanded throughout the US. After amendments to laws allowed states to enact their own on sports betting, DraftKings has been a fast player in the industry. Since the failed merger, DraftKings has been very focused on the sports betting market in the United States.

In 2017 DraftKings and FanDuel attempted to merge – but were blocked by the Federal Trade Commission. Initially launching as a daily fantasy sports site in 2012 – and as the main competitor to FanDuel – DraftKings has evolved over the last decade into one of the more well-known sportsbooks in the United States.
