DraftKings has expanded upon its Puerto Rico operations following the launch of its online sportsbook platform on February 23, having previously unveiled a retail sportsbook at Foxwoods El San Juan Casino during November 2025. 

“Puerto Rico has a passionate sports community and launching our online sportsbook allows us to meet fans where they are,” DraftKings EVP and GM of Sports Gregory Karamitis said. 

“With retail already live at Foxwoods El San Juan Casino, mobile represents the next step in expanding the DraftKings experience across the island—giving eligible local customers a seamless, exciting and responsible way to engage with sports.”

To access DraftKings’ online sportsbook platform, Puerto Rico residents must first sign-up in-person at Foxwoods El San Juan Casino, with operations still currently unavailable to non-residents. 

Those visiting Puerto Rico are still eligible to place wagers at the retail sportsbook located inside Foxwoods El San Juan Casino, which is currently owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. 

According to the operator, responsible gaming efforts remain a “shared priority” between DraftKings, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Foxwoods El San Juan Casino.

On February 19, FanDuel and DraftKings both submitted separate applications to enter the regulated land-based Arkansas sports betting market, according to an Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration spokesperson. 

If approved, the two major US sports betting entities would be authorized to partner with any of the three currently active casino sportsbooks in the state, namely, Oaklawn Casino in Hot Springs, Saracen Casino in Pine Bluff and Southland Casino in West Memphis. 

DraftKings currently oversees daily fantasy sports operations in Arkansas, with the outcome of its application set to be decided by the state’s Racing Commission.
