DraftKings Exits UK Market, Shuts Down European DFS Platform
Share:
DraftKings has decided to exit the UK market, shutting down its daily fantasy sports (DFS) platform in the region and effectively ending its business operations across Europe. The move reflects the company’s decision to refocus its resources on more profitable opportunities, primarily within the US market, where sports betting and daily fantasy sports continue to see significant growth.
The UK platform, which had been operating since 2016, faced challenges in gaining traction compared to DraftKings’ success in North America. In a statement, DraftKings emphasized that the decision to close its UK DFS operations aligns with its strategic shift towards expanding sports betting and iGaming services in markets with stronger growth potential.
DraftKings’ withdrawal from the European market underscores the evolving competitive landscape and the company’s prioritization of investment in regions where regulatory frameworks and consumer demand are more favorable.
