Key Terms

same-game parlays financial
A same-game parlay is a single wager that combines two or more predictions about different outcomes within the same sporting event — for example the final score, a player’s performance, and number of goals. For investors, these bets matter because they tend to boost engagement and hold higher profit margins for sportsbooks while also increasing payout volatility and risk concentration, which can affect a gambling company’s revenue stability and regulatory scrutiny.
live in-game wagering financial
Wagering placed on outcomes or events that occur while a video game or esports match is being played, with odds updated in real time. Like betting on the next play in a live sports game, it lets bettors stake money on in-game moments (such as who will score next or whether an objective will be taken), and matters to investors because it can drive continuous user engagement, create new revenue streams, and carry regulatory and integrity considerations for platforms and partners.
odds boosts financial
Odds boosts are temporary promotions by bookmakers or betting platforms that increase the potential payout on a specific wager, giving bettors a better return than standard odds. For investors, these offers matter because they can drive short-term user activity and revenue, raise customer acquisition costs, and affect profitability trends for companies in the gambling and sports-betting industry—similar to a retailer running a limited-time sale to attract shoppers.
self-exclusion regulatory
A voluntary program that lets a person formally ban themselves from gambling venues, websites, or gaming services for a set period or permanently; it is a regulatory and responsible‑gaming tool used to prevent further gambling by someone who recognizes they have a problem. Like locking the door to stop yourself from going into a bakery when on a diet, self‑exclusion matters to investors because it affects customer access, compliance costs, legal risk, and a company’s reputation in regulated industries.

Celebrations include a watch party for World Cup and volunteer community event

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) today announced plans to launch its top-rated online sportsbook and casino, along with its Golden Nugget Online Gaming brand, in Alberta on July 13. Alberta will become the second Canadian province and the 34th jurisdiction across North America where DraftKings Sportsbook is available. With the launch, DraftKings Casino will be available in five U.S. states and Golden Nugget Online Gaming casino in four U.S. states, with both brands available in Alberta and Ontario in Canada.

Ahead of the official launch, DraftKings will host a watch party for the World Cup on July 11 at the Wildhorse Saloon in Calgary. The event is part of DraftKings' broader initiative that has brought fans across North America closer to the excitement of the tournament through a series of watch parties in Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami and Hoboken. Each event has featured live match viewing, giveaways and interactive activations designed to create memorable fan experiences.

“We’re thrilled to launch DraftKings Sportsbook and DraftKings Casino, as well as Golden Nugget Online Gaming in Alberta and continue expanding our presence in Canada,” said Greg Karamitis, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sports at DraftKings. “Alberta is home to a passionate sports fan base, and we’re excited to bring customers across the province our industry-leading sports betting and online casino experiences. Launching during one of the biggest moments in global sports, with the World Cup taking place across North America, makes this an especially exciting time to welcome Albertans to DraftKings.”

To celebrate the launch in Alberta, DraftKings employees will volunteer with Food Banks Alberta and present a $150,000 donation to the organization. The funding will purchase over 40,000 pounds of essential food items to be distributed through Food Banks Alberta's network of member food banks, ensuring resources reach communities both large and small throughout Alberta. This donation will help provide essential food support, including high demand items like fruits and vegetables and baby formula to individuals and families facing hunger, while strengthening local food banks' ability to meet growing demand.

Eligible customers in Alberta will have access to DraftKings’ comprehensive suite of sports betting and online casino offerings. From same-game parlays, live in-game wagering, and special odds boosts on DraftKings Sportsbook to thousands of casino games, including fan-favorite titles like “Wheel of Fortune – Triple Extreme Spin,” exclusive slot titles, as well as progressive jackpots across Golden Nugget Online Gaming and DraftKings Casino, DraftKings delivers one of the industry’s most robust and engaging entertainment experiences.

DraftKings leads the industry in responsible engagement by promoting customer awareness and use of budget and control tools and resources like deposit limits, cool off periods, and self-exclusion to help customers have a fun source of entertainment with a brand they can trust.

The DraftKings Sports and Casino app and Golden Nugget Online Gaming casino app are available to be downloaded today for iOS and Android here and here.
