About DraftKings Inc.
About DraftKings Inc.
DraftKings generated $6,054.5 million in revenue in fiscal 2025, with Sportsbook and iGaming accounting for 93% of that total, Sportsbook Handle reaching $53.6 billion, and average monthly unique payers growing to 4.0 million at an average revenue per MUP of $125. The company operates with over 5,500 employees across 13 countries and distributes through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and traditional websites. Prediction markets launched December 19, 2025 under CFTC oversight as an introducing broker.
DraftKings earns revenue primarily through hold — the difference between settled handle and payouts — on Sportsbook bets and iGaming wagers. Sportsbook sets fixed odds on sporting events, while iGaming operates similarly to land-based casinos. iGaming content includes both in-house-developed games and licensed content from suppliers including International Gaming Technology, Light & Wonder Inc., Spin, and Evolution for live dealer services under revenue-sharing agreements. Daily fantasy sports, digital lottery courier, and prediction markets contribute a smaller share of revenue. User promotional spend — free plays, deposit bonuses, and rebates — reduces gross revenue materially during customer acquisition phases in newly launched states. Marketing allocation follows a return-on-investment model based on predicted lifetime value and user segmentation.
Show full overview
DraftKings' fiscal 2025 marked the company's first year of GAAP profitability, with net income of $3.7 million versus a net loss of $507.3 million in fiscal 2024. Revenue is highly seasonal, with the fourth quarter historically generating the highest revenues due to overlapping NFL and NBA seasons. The 10-K notes that reductions in discretionary consumer spending — from inflation, elevated unemployment, or declining consumer confidence — may reduce user engagement on Sportsbook, iGaming, and DFS products, which are leisure activities subject to demand variability depending on broader economic conditions.
