What is DraftKings Casino and where is it licensed?

DraftKings Casino appears on the official New Jersey list under Resorts and the Pennsylvania list under Hollywood Casino at Penn National. Reports also pair it with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation in Connecticut. DraftKings has owned Golden Nugget Online Gaming since May 2022, so those are two brands under one company. Check your state's list.

Who runs DraftKings Casino?

DraftKings runs it. It completed its purchase of Golden Nugget Online Gaming in May 2022. Connecticut allows online casinos only through its two tribes, which is why the Mashantucket Pequot link matters there.

Where is DraftKings Casino licensed?

The official New Jersey and Pennsylvania lists name DraftKings Casino or its license holder, and reports link it to Connecticut and West Virginia. The table shows only what we could confirm. It is not a full list of states, because we could not open every regulator's current list, including Michigan's full list.

How do you check DraftKings Casino in your state?

Look for the exact site on your regulator's own list, not in the site's footer or on a review page. Being licensed in one state says nothing about another. Start at your state page, or see the licensed operators page for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania lists.
